FLAC 1.1.2 is available. New in this release are small decoding speedups for all platforms, small encoding speedups in fast (non-LPC) mode, streaming support in the XMMS plugin, and several bug fixes. For developers there are also a few additions and changes to the metadata API to make working with tags easier. See the changelog entry for complete details. This release actually wasn't supposed to happen so soon, but needed to be made to fix library naming and build problems in FLAC 1.1.1 that caused trouble for package maintainers, so unless you are having trouble with one of the particular bugs that got fixed in 1.1.2 then there is not much of a need to upgrade. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
1.1.2 is in portage, slotted package as otherwise quite some programs would break like this; libFLAC.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory This release is not yet available on PPC & PPC64; the AltiVec patch needs to be ported. Thank you for your report, please give the update two hours to propagate before syncing your portage tree.
