<li>Improved the <a href="documentation.html#flac_options_decode_through_errors"><span class="argument">-F</span></a> to allow decoding of FLAC files whose metadata is corrupted, and other kinds of corruption.</li>
<li>Improved the <a href="documentation.html#flac_options_decode_through_errors"><span class="argument">-F</span></a> option to allow decoding of FLAC files whose metadata is corrupted, and other kinds of severe corruption.</li>
<li>Encoder can now take FLAC as input. The output FLAC file will have all the same metadata as the original unless overridden with options on the command line.</li>
<li>Encoder can now take WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE WAVE files as input; decoder will output WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE WAVE files when necessary to conform to the latest Microsoft specifications.</li>
<li>Now properly supports AIFF and WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE multichannel input, performing necessary channel reordering both for encoding and decoding. WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE channel mask is also saved to a tag on encoding and restored on decoding for situations when there is no natural mapping to FLAC channel assignments.</li>
<li>Added support for "odd" sample resolutions; all resolution from 4 to 24 bits-per-sample now supported.</li>
<li>Expanded support for "odd" sample resolutions to WAVE and AIFF input; all resolutions from 4 to 24 bits-per-sample now supported for all input types.</li>
<li>Added a new option <a href="documentation.html#flac_options_tag_from_file"><span class="argument">--tag-from-file</span></a> for setting a tag from file (e.g. for importing a cuesheet as a tag).</li>
<li>Added a new option <span class="argument"><a href="documentation.html#flac_options_picture">--picture</a></span> for adding pictures.</li>
<li>Added a new option <a href="documentation.html#flac_options_apodization"><span class="argument">--apodization</span></a> for specifying the window function(s) to be used in LPC analysis.</li>
<li>Added support for encoding from non-compressed AIFF-C (<a href="https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&amp;atid=113478&amp;aid=1090933&amp;group_id=13478">SF #1090933</a>).</li>
<li>Importing of non-CDDA-compliant cuesheets now only issues a warning, not an error (see <a href="http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=31282">here</a>).</li>
<li>MD5 comparison failures on decoding are now an error instead of a warning and will also return a non-zero exit code (<a href="https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&amp;aid=1493725&amp;group_id=13478&amp;atid=113478">SF #1493725</a>).</li>
