http://bugs.debian.org/405167
http://bugs.debian.org/411311
* New upstream release. closes: #405167, #411311
  - libOggFLAC and libOggFLAC++ have been merged into libFLAC, so
    remove their corresponding packages.
  - Because of the API changes required to effect the above, there has
    been yet another soname bump. libflac7 -> libflac8 and
    libflac++5 -> libflac++6. Emails have been dispatched to the
    maintainers of dependent packages.
* Some notes on patches that were removed:
  - 02_stdin_stdout, 06_manpage_mention_utf8_convert: merged upstream
  - 08_manpage_warnings: Upstream has changed the manpage so it defintely
    can't fit in in 80 cols, so just forget about it. We'll live.
  - 05_eof_warnings_are_errors: Upstream decided to add a -w option to
    flac to treat all warnings as errors. I am going to defer to that
    for now, but if people think it's stupid let me know and I'll port
    the patch forward.
  - 04_stack_smasher: was a backport from 1.1.3, so it's obsolete.

                The following are major known bugs in the current (1.1.3) release:
 
53
                <ul>
 
54
                        <li>
 
55
                                If your locale does not use "." for the decimal point, there is a bug that causes the default compression settings to be sub-optimal.  You should add <span class="argument">-A "tukey(0,5)"</span> to your <span class="command">flac</span> command string (or however "0.5" should be formatted for your locale).
 
56
                        </li>
 
57
                        <li>
 
58
                                If a corrupted FLAC file is used as input in FLAC-to-FLAC encoding, the transcoded FLAC file will have the audio data truncated after the first error.
 
59
                        </li>
 
60
                        <li>
 
61
                                When encoding to Ogg FLAC, if there are too many seek points (&gt;240), the seek table will not have the offsets written back properly after encoding.

                To report a bug, please go to the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=13478&amp;atid=113478">FLAC bug tracker</a> (or appropriately the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=13478&amp;atid=363478">feature request tracker</a>, <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=13478&amp;atid=313478">patch page</a>, or <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=13478&amp;atid=213478">support page</a>).<br />
 
77
                <br />
 
78
                First check that there is not already an existing request.  If you do submit a new request, make sure and provide an email contact <b>and</b> use the Monitor feature.<br />
 
79

80
                Note that we get many false bug reports from people with faulty hardware or who overclock their machines that FLAC is not working.  Please do due diligence if you are getting FLAC encoding or decoding errors that it is not the fault of the hardware.  FLAC encoding tends to highlight problems with bad RAM, corrupted files, and excessive overclocking.
