LAME 3.98.3, foobar2000 1.0.1 beta 2, Mp3Tag 2.45c, DirectX, обновления плагинов foobar2000

• Rogério Brito:
  • Update the debian packaging for the new release.
• Robert Hegemann
  • The ignore-tag-errors switch had no effect when embedding album art, fixed.
  • Library API change: lame_decode functions are now obsolete but still present, please use hip_decode instead. The reason for this change is: lame_decode functions use a single global variable within the library to store decoder setup, hip_decode functions don't. The encoder now uses hip_decode internally and it is now possible to use clipdetect feature while reencoding mp3 to mp3.
  • Workaround for FFMPEG bug, which uses to call lame_encode_flush more than once in a loop.
  • Windows: program icon and version info added (when building with VC9)
  • Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2688413 ] lib name problem in Microsoft Visual Studio 6
  • Fix for Bugtracker items [ 2051870, 2423650, 2928684 ] several small documentation issues
  • Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2723518 ] resampling in 3.98 and 3.99alpha
  • Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2891879 ] Because of Windows API change, there was a problem with the prority switch.
  • Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2893101 ] Access Violation in BladeMP3EncDLL if UNICODE was defined.
  • Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2887359 ] Wrong length in ID3v2 tag when num_samples isn't set
  • Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2872590 ] LameTAG: "Music length" missmatch in LAME 3.98
  • Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2824296 ] wrong enc_padding value in LAME 3.99a and 3.98.3 (from CVS)
  • Revisiting the FhG decoder problem (FhG V1.5 build 50, ships with MS Windows): enabling the new-drain-code seems to solve that issue better, than restricting the buffer size (see below: 3.98 beta 1, May 16 2007).
  • Patch submitted by Bernhard Doebler, tracker item [ 2807676 ] Error when building Lame with NASM support
  • Patch submitted by Mancuso Raffaele, tracker item [ 2406420 ] compile lame_enc.dll under cygwin

Fixed some problems regarding timescale/duration/gapless info of HE-AAC files

2010/2/17
Supported HE-AAC encoding
Finally I've found a hack to activate HE-AAC encoder. It is enabled by passing "--he" as a parameter. Note that the true VBR mode is not available in the encoder.
