FLAC is an Open Source lossless audio codec originally developed by Josh Coalson
between 2001 and 2009. From 2009 to 2012 FLAC was basically unmaintained. In
2012 the Erik de Castro Lopo became the chief maintainer as part of the
Xiph.Org Foundation.

## git as of 30-07-2022
## FLAC 1.4.0
As there have been changes to the library interfaces, the libFLAC version number is incremented to 12, the libFLAC++ version number is incremented to 10. As some changes were breaking, the version age numbers (see [libtool versioning](https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/libtool.html#Libtool-versioning)) have been reset to 0. For more details on the changes to the API, see the [porting guide](https://xiph.org/flac/api/group__porting__1__3__4__to__1__4__0.html).
The XMMS plugin and 'common' plugin code (used only by the XMMS plugin) are deprecated, they will be removed in a future release.
* General:
* It is now possible to limit the minimum bitrate of a FLAC file generated by libFLAC and with the `flac` tool to 1 bit/sample. This function can be used to aid live streaming, for example for internet radio
* Encoding files with sample rates up to 1'048'575Hz is now possible. (Con Kolivas)

* Addition of new encoder fuzzer, adding fuzzing for 8, 24 and 32-bit inputs
* Addition of new decoder fuzzer, adding coverage of seeking code
* Addition of metadata fuzzer, adding coverage of metadata APIs
* Various improvements to fuzzers to improve code coveragem, fuzzing speed and stability

* Removed all assembler and intrinsics code from the decoder to improve fuzzing, as they provided only a small speed benefit
* The bitwriter buffer is limited in size to 2^24 bytes, so it cannot write excessively large files. This is a backup in case another bug in this area creeps (back) in.
* The metadata iterations should now never return a vorbiscomment entry with NULL as an entry, now always at least an empty string is returned
* documentation:
* Removed html documentation and generate man pages from markdown
* Interface changes:
* libFLAC:
* Addition of FLAC__stream_encoder_set_limit_min_bitrate() and FLAC__stream_encoder_get_limit_min_bitrate(), see [github #264](https://github.com/xiph/flac/pull/264)
* get_client_data_from_decoder is renamed FLAC__get_decoder_client_data(), see [github #124](https://github.com/xiph/flac/pull/124)
* All API functions taking a filename as an argument now take UTF-8 filenames on Windows, and no longer accept filenames using the current codepage
* FLAC__Frame struct has changed: warmup samples are now stored in FLAC__int64 instead of FLAC__int32 types, and verbatim samples can now be stored in either FLAC__int32 or FLAC__int64 depending on whether samples fix the former or latter
* The FLAC__StreamMetadata struct now has a tag, so it can be forward declared
* libFLAC++:
* Addition of ::set_limit_min_bitrate() and ::get_limit_min_bitrate(), see [github #264](https://github.com/xiph/flac/pull/264)
* All API functions taking a filename as an argument now take UTF-8 filenames on Windows, and no longer accept filenames using the current codepage
