What's new in FlacSquisher 1.0.12
Jun 15, 2013
- This release updates the FLAC and Metaflac binaries to 1.3.0. Along with this, this release takes advantage of the increased UTF-8 support in FLAC 1.3.0, in order to correctly tag MP3 files encoded using Flac files that contain UTF-8 tags.
New in FlacSquisher 1.0.11 (Apr 11, 2013)
- This release has added "mp3", "mp4", and "flv" to the list of ignored extensions.
New in FlacSquisher 1.0.9 (Mar 19, 2012)
- This release updates the version of LAME that's distributed with FlacSquisher to 3.99.5.
- This version contains many bugfixes and quality improvements.
New in FlacSquisher 1.0.8 (Sep 8, 2011)
- In this release, the "Encode" button reads "Stop" during the encoding process. This way, the encoding can be halted without exiting the program, and any pending error messages will be shown.
New in FlacSquisher 1.0.7 (May 3, 2011)
- This release updates the ID3 Discnumber and AlbumArtist fields to match the mapping used by foobar2000 as of version 1.1.6
New in FlacSquisher 1.0.3 (Mar 7, 2011)
- In this release, the console error window now shows the errors separated by which file produced them. By double-clicking the entry for that file, you can now bring up the error message for that file.
- Also, the program now can handle the case where the user specifies the Flac and Output directories manually with a backslash on the end.
New in FlacSquisher 1.0.2 (Mar 7, 2011)
- In this release, the priority order between ignored and copied files is reversed, so that copied files take precedence.
New in FlacSquisher 1.0.1 (Mar 7, 2011)
- This release fixes an error in tagging using LAME for cases where the FLAC tags use lowercase labels.
- Also, a new version of the OggEnc binary is included, so I recommend deleting the destination directory, and re-encoding all files.
New in FlacSquisher 1.0.0 (Oct 29, 2010)
- This release marks the first stable release of FlacSquisher. It adds a window that lists all of the files that failed to encode properly, so that users know which files they need to investigate further.
- This release also introduces full support for Unicode by working around LAME's lack of Unicode support.
New in FlacSquisher 0.5.11 (Oct 29, 2010)
- This release works around an issue where LAME fails on attempting to embed album art from an image file larger than 128KB. Instead, FlacSquisher now just refrains from passing the image file to the LAME encoder.
New in FlacSquisher 0.5.10 (Oct 2, 2010)
- This release fixes a bug causing embedded album art to fail being transferred from the FLAC file to the MP3 file during LAME encoding.
- Also, this marks the first official release of the Windows 7 build that includes the taskbar progress indicator.
New in FlacSquisher 0.5.9 (Jul 1, 2010)
- This release fixes a bug causing an error to occur on loading the configuration file.
New in FlacSquisher 0.5.8 (Jul 1, 2010)
- This release fixes the settings loader to work properly with Windows Vista and Windows 7 when upgrading from a previous version.
- Additionally, we now add the Album Artist and Disc Number tags if we're using a third-party Lame executable, since the behavior of those two tags has been fixed in the more recent alpha builds of Lame.
New in FlacSquisher 0.5.7 (Jun 27, 2010)
- This release adds support for third-party Lame executables by adding an option to the Options window. Because of this, you'll be able to use any Lame executable you download that does not include support for Flac input, such as the 64-bit alpha build seen at Rarewares.
- Additionally, this release includes a new version of the FlacSquisher icon that takes up less space, making the FlacSquisher executable much smaller and quicker to load.
New in FlacSquisher 0.5.6 (Apr 13, 2010)
- This release changes the way files are encoded to MP3 format using LAME. Now instead of piping the output of the FLAC decoder into LAME, we use the libsndfile dll that's been included with the FlacSquisher release in order to input
- the FLAC file directly into LAME. This should allow FlacSquisher to be used with Mono in Linux if used with a version of LAME compiled with FLAC support.
New in FlacSquisher 0.5.5 (Apr 7, 2010)
- This release removes the use of MP3 tags for Album Artist and Disc Number that were added in 0.5.3. This is due to a bug in the LAME encoder in accepting non-standard tags. A new version of FlacSquisher will be released when this bug
- is fixed.
- The included release of the LAME was updated to 3.98.4, and the included release of the OggEnc encoder was updated to 2.86 and libvorbis 1.3.1. I recommend re-encoding all lossy files to take advantage of improvements made in the encoder.
New in FlacSquisher 0.5.4 (Mar 11, 2010)
- This release moves the configuration file from the executable directory to the user's AppData directory. This allows different users on the same machine to use FlacSquisher without sharing configs, and it also fixes permissions issues that become apparent when running the old version under Windows Vista or Windows 7.
- The included release of the LAME encoder has been updated to 3.98.3. I recommend re-encoding all lossy files to take advantage of improvements made in the encoder.
New in FlacSquisher 0.5.3 (Mar 11, 2010)
- This release adds the Album Artist and Disc Number tags to the list of tags imported during LAME encoding. Also, album art that's embedded in the FLAC files is now imported to MP3 files during LAME encoding.
- All of the included encoders have been updated, but the changes only involve compiler changes to improve speed or compatibility, so no re-encoding is necessary.
New in FlacSquisher 0.5.2 (Dec 19, 2009)
- This release adds the ability to copy some file extensions and ignore others, rather than the old behavior of either copying or ignoring the extensions in a single list.
- The included Ogg Encoder was also updated to fix a bug that caused Flac tags not to be transferred to the Ogg files. I recommend deleting your Ogg folder, and re-encoding all of it.
New in FlacSquisher 0.5.1 (Jul 6, 2009)
- Fixed progress bar label showing inaccurate progress
- When copying files, don't try to encode them as well
- Updated OggEnc binary to libVorbis 1.2.2 (oggenc is still v2.85): FLAC ReplayGain values will be transferred to Ogg output files, and multichannel behavior is improved
New in FlacSquisher 0.5.0 (May 5, 2009)
- Convert code to Visual C++ to Visual C#
- Update threading code so it won't crash in Mono
