Re: [flac-dev] New release
I tested MSYS + MinGW-w64 with GCC 4.9.2 and both 32-bit and 64-bit versions build without issues. MSVC 2013 Community version builds 32-bit and 64-bit release and debug versions without trouble. I don't have older Visual Studios installed but can make a virtual machine to test if lvqcl or someone else doesn't have any either. I have one related suggestion. The Windows solution files should be renamed. Right now the old solution file that one is supposed to use on old MSVC versions is called FLAC.sln and the new one is called FLAC-vs2010.sln. I'd like the main file FLAC.sln to be the one that works with all the latest Visual Studios and the old legacy format one be called FLAC-vs2005.sln. ___ flac-dev mailing list flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev

Re: [flac-dev] FLAC 1.3.1 changelog?
MauritsVB wrote: As we’re talking 1.3.1 release, I’ve been keeping track of a couple of changes that I feel should be included in the changelog and that I might as well share here. The things between brackets are just to refresh memories, I’d leave them out of the actual changelog. * Improved efficiency of 24 bit decoding. (https://git.xiph.org/?p=flac.git;a=commit;h=ea0d5ddadc6902e873983c89f473130b3bb6625f) The patch http://git.xiph.org/?p=flac.git;a=commit;h=4eab6313cd2198b5647d925bdb3847590505fa21 was made just after the release of FLAC 1.3.0 and it increases decoding speed for *all* bitdepths.

Currently FLAC defaults to -msse2, and it's not possible to compile SSSE3/SSE4.1/AVX2 intrinsics with GCC 4.8.x and older versions. So official x86 binaries (if any) should be compiled with GCC 4.9.x. Or with MSVS 2013, but in my tests it provides slower binaries than GCC. Considering Windows binaries: in case no new binaries are provided, please at least remove the old ones from sourceforge.
