1.25.13

-------

This is a bugfix release solely for bug 280 in the parser:

- libmpg123

-- Reset the flag for having a frame to decode before trying to

parse a new one. This prevents very unkind behaviour (crashes)

when combinging mpg123_scan() with decoding later on for damaged

streams that have a mixture of different MPEG versions.

1.25.12

-------

More credit to OSS-Fuzz. The ID3v2 parser code is not yet as hardened

as the actual MPEG decoder. The paranoid can disable it at build-time.

If you do not need it, this is a good idea, anyway: Code that is not

there, cannot be exploited. Speaking about exploits: The recent crop

of bugs trigger a denial of service (crash) worst-case, some invalid

ID3 data normally. Code injection maybe not totally ruled out (that one

write of a zero byte?), but does not seem easy. Update to be sure that

you are only suceptible to as of yet hidden bugs.

- libmpg123

-- Fix an out-of-bounds read of maximal two bytes for truncated RVA2 frames

(oss-fuzz-bug 15975). The earlier fix around the same location needed

one thought more. Actually, another though was needed, oss-fuzz-bug 16009

documents the incomplete fix.

-- Fix an invalid write of one zero byte for empty ID3v2 frames that demand

de-unsyncing (oss-fuzz-bug 16050).

-- Correct preprocessor syntax in mangle.h, no #error in a #define line.

(bug 273, thanks to nmlgc).

- Fix dynamic build with gcc -fsanitize=address (check for all dl functions

before deciding that separate -ldl is not needed).

1.25.11

-------

So, here is a number of bugs found by OSS-Fuzz. Credit to OSS-Fuzz

for the bunch, then.

- libmpg123:

-- Fix out-of-bounds reads in ID3 parser for unsynced frames.

(oss-fuzz-bug 15852)

-- Fix out-of-bounds read for RVA2 frames with non-delimited identifier.

(oss-fuzz-bug 15852)

-- Fix implementation-defined parsing of RVA2 values. (oss-fuzz-bug 15862)

-- Fix undefined parsing of APE header for skipping. Also prevent

endless loop on premature end of supposed APE header. (oss-fuzz-bug 15864)

-- Fix some syntax to make pedantic compiler happy.

1.25.10

-------

- libout123: Fix error messages beginning from OUT123_ARG_ERROR (bug 261).

1.25.9

------

- mpg123: Fix --icy-interval handling to work with stream from stdin.

(curl | mpg123 --icy-interval=n -)

- libmpg123: Fix another invalid read and segfault on damaged (fuzzed)

files with part2_3_length == 0 (set maxband=1, pulled from upcoming 1.26.0).

1.25.8

------

- mpg123:

-- Also disable cursor/video games for empty TERM (not just unset and dumb).

- libmpg123:

-- Accept changing mode extension bits when looking for next header for

detecting free-format streams (bug 257).

-- Fix compute_bpf() for free format streams (needed to estimate track

length and working fuzzy seeking in absence of an Info tag).

1.25.7

------

- mpg123:

-- Do not play with cursor and inverse video for progress bar

when TERM=dumb.

-- Fix parsing of host port for numerical IPv6 addresses (just did

not work before, only for textual host names).

- libmpg123:

-- Proper fix for the xrpnt overflow problems by correctly

initialising certain tables for MPEG 2.x layer III. The checks that

catch the resulting overflow are still in place, but likely superfluous

now. Note that this means certain valid files would have been misdecoded

before, if anyone actually produced them. Thanks to Robert Hegemann for

the fix!

-- Silently handle granules with part2_3_length == 0, but

scalefac_compress != 0 (ignore the latter).

1.25.6

------

- Hotfix for bug 255: Overflow reading frame data bits in layer II decoding.

Now, all-zero data is returned if the frame data is exhausted. This might

have a slight impact on performance, but not easily measurable so far.

1.25.5

------

- Avoid another buffer read overflow in the ID3 parser on 32 bit platforms

(bug 254).

1.25.4

------

- Better configure checks for i?86-apple-darwin (bug 253).

- libmpg123:

-- Prevent harmless call to memcpy(NULL, NULL, 0).

-- More early checking of ID3v2 encoding values to avoid bogus text being

stored.

1.25.3

------

- libmpg123:

-- Better checks for xrpnt overflow in III_dequantize_sample() before each

use, avoiding false positives and catching cases that were rendered

harmless by alignment-enlarged buffers.

1.25.2

------

- libmpg123:

-- Extend pow tables for layer III to properly handle files with i-stereo and

5-bit scalefactors. Never observed them for real, just as fuzzed input to

trigger the read overflow. Note: This one goes on record as CVE-2017-11126,

calling remote denial of service. While the accesses are out of bounds for

the pow tables, they still are safely within libmpg123's memory (other

static tables). Just wrong values are used for computation, no actual crash

unless you use something like GCC's AddressSanitizer, nor any information

disclosure.

-- Avoid left-shifts of negative integers in layer I decoding.

1.25.1: Hot Fuzz

-------

- libmpg123:

-- Avoid memset(NULL, 0, 0) to calm down the paranoid.

-- Fix bug 252, invalid read of size 1 in ID3v2 parser due to forgotten

offset from the frame flag bytes (unnoticed in practice for a long

time). Fuzzers are in the house again. This one got CVE-2017-10683.

-- Avoid a mostly harmless conditional jump depending on uninitialised

fr->lay in compute_bpf() (mpg123_position()) when track is not ready yet.

-- Fix undefined shifts on signed long mask in layer3.c (worked in practice,

never right in theory). Code might be a bit faster now, even.

Thanks to Agostino Sarubbo for reporting.

1.25.0: MP3 now patent-free worldwide!

-------

- Silence test for artsc-config if it is not there.

- Make sure -static-libgcc from LDFLAGS gets through libtool,

fixing 32 bit Windows builds (depend on libgcc DLL otherwise).

- Fix build with non-GNU make by using plain rm -f instead of silly $(RM)

in libout123/modules makefile fragment.

- Make build work on iOS, including coreaudio backend.

- libmpg123:

-- Finally provide position-independent code for x86 with assembly

optimisations.The textrels are gone thanks to Won Kyu Park and Taihei Momma.

-- Clarify some license language in files descending from the original MMX

optimisation.

-- Fix return value overflow check for MPG123_BUFFERFILL.

-- Introduced mpg123_getformat2() to enable the FORMAT command

for the generic control not stealing MPG123_NEW_FORMAT from the main

playback loop. The sequence LOADPAUSED-FORMAT-PAUSE (play) is supposed

to work now.

-- Enable aarch64 optimisations on *BSD by default, too. You can always

override that stupid OS whitelist using --with-optimization, anyway.

-- Use of the i486 decoder is now discouraged more prominently, in configure

output.

- out123: Fix stupid crash with verbose mode and tone generation (print

the string if the pointer is non-null, not if it is null).

- libout123: More consistent error messages for dynamic and legacy

(built-in) modules. Namely, you get a hint how if you choose a different

module than the built-in ones for a static libout123.

1.24.0:

-------

- Avoid repeating genre in metadata printout for specifications like

(144)Thrash Metal.

- In remote control mode, only enforce --quiet if no verbosity was required.

- Prevent --loop and --shuffle or --random from messing with the remote

control LOADLIST command (printout of the list would loop without reason).

- Fix the mpg123 command (esp. our provided binaries on Windows) to now find

modules again relative to the executable directory, not the current working

directory. This was a regression in 1.23 and might be security-relevant if

you called mpg123 in working directories with untrusted content.

Note that mpg123 1.23 looked for modules relative to the current working

directory only if the installation prefix for modules did not exist.

So, usage on an intact installation (with /usr/lib/mpg123 or the like) was

safe. Nevertheless this new version fixes the search to be relative to the

binary path as it was with 1.22 and before.

- At least consistent behaviour of playlist code in the face of looping.

Looping is about individual tracks, always. They are looped also in random

mode. Jumping (prev/next keys) is between tracks and resets the loop counter.

The display of currently playing track in the playlist is fixed for random

and looped play now (bug 198).

- Looping is now mentioned for a to-be-repeated track with --verbose.

- Move some compiler nagging from --enable-debug to --enable-nagging, fix up

some new build failures by adding some pesky feature test macros.

- Try not to pollute the terminal buffer with old progress bars in inverse

video. Only the currently live one shall be seen. That one is pretty. The

others are not.

- Using plain dlopen()/LoadLibrary() for opening modules instead of libltdl.

This also means that --with-module-suffix is gone in configure.

- Windows builds only work when Unicode support is there (older than Windows

2000/XP will definitely not work anymore).

- The out123 tool now features tone generation, with a mix of differing

wave patterns. Makes sense to be able to test the audio output by itself,

and it's fun. See --wave-freq and related parameters.

- libmpg123 version 43:

-- Add flags MPG123_NO_PEEK_END and MPG123_FORCE_SEEKABLE, as suggested

by Bent Bisballe Nyeng.

-- Build fix for MSVC (consistent definition of ssize_t, spotted by manx,

bug 243).

-- Build fix for --with-cpu=ppc_nofpu (thanks to Michael Kostylev, bug 244).

-- Add asm optimized MSVC++ Win32|x64 and UWP|x64 builds

-- Remove old, broken MSVC++ builds

- libout123 version 2:

-- Added OUT123_BINDIR.

-- New search order for output plugin directory: MPG123_MODDIR, or (relative

to executable directory OUT123_BINDIR) ../lib/mpg123, plugins

libout123/modules/.libs, libout123/modules, ../libout123/modules/.libs,

../libout123/modules, and at last the installation prefix $libdir/mpg213/.

This shall ensure that a build inside a source tree does not try to use old

modules from the system prefix. The normal libtool wrapper deals with the

shared libout123 or libmpg123 only, not modules.

Note that if you set MPG123_MODDIR to a non-existing directory, no modules

will be found (earlier versions fell back to other choices).

-- The OUT123_NAME parameter is now copied by out123_param_from(), as is

the newly added OUT123_BINDIR.

-- Coreaudio: Use AudioComponents API on OSX >= 10.6 (thanks to Michael Weiser).

-- Coreaudio: Fix behaviour of out123_drop(), not killing the output anymore

without re-opening the device (bug 236, thanks to Taihei for the fix).

1.23.8

------

- Fix long-standing bad memory read (via integer underflow) in ID3 parser

for crafted ID3v2 tags with tiny size information (bug 240). Thanks to

Han Lee & Jerold Hoong for the detailed report.

1.23.7

------

- Fix the bad RPM spec file (broken since out123 addition, thanks

to Srikanth Rao for noticing).

- More out123_pause() in generic control mode, working around

bug 236. The coreaudio output needs to be more robust, though.

- Do not undef MPG123_EXPORT in the headers, rather be prepared for it

being defined already. This fixes MSVC builds, broken since 1.23.0

(bug 239).

1.23.6

------

- call out123_pause() instead of out123_stop() in remote control STOP

command, fixing the regression in 1.23.x of not being able to resume

playback with another LOAD unless the new track has differing audio

format (bug 234)

1.23.5

------

- libout123:

-- fix build of portaudio and SDL on win32 (too many parentheses,

thanks to Sandro Cumerlato for pointing it out)

-- make out123_errcode() return OUT123_BAD_HANDLE as documented

(adding that value to the error enum, was documented but missing),

again thanks to Sandro

- fix windows-builds.sh (shell quoting in copying stage) and add some

bits to shipped header to make it directly usable in MSVC (define ssize_t,

bug 232)

- no overwriting of LIBS in Makefile (build system regression in 1.23,

thanks to Peter Korsgaard for reporting that one)

- no printing of message in response to SIGPIPE, as that could trigger

a hang if stderr itself is the piped culprit (regression from 1.22, bug 233)

1.23.4

------

- mpg123: Fix logic of prebuffering small bits for glitch-free start of

playback. The logic as introduced in 1.23.0 actually introduced stuttering!

The fix for this is really minimal and I urge everyone to at least include

that one. It is the changeset of rev. 4041.

- libout123:

-- Actually make OUT123_KEEP_PLAYING on by default, as documented.

-- Fix buffer logic with regard to draining, use common device writing

code to handle resuming from pause. This fixes sdl output with buffer,

possibly other sfifo-based outputs like CoreAudio (those were poorly

tested with buffer, as the combination is indeed unusual, see bug 230).

-- Buffer pauses devices for prebuffering, to avoid underruns.

-- More reliable playback with SDL, Portaudio and CoreAudio outputs.

This includes FIFO draining on close to avoid dropping of the end.

It should fix parts of bug 230.

-- Fixed memory leaks with some outputs where a call to the deinit()

function is necessary during available/working module checking.

- mpg123, out123: Use the default output flags to get OUT123_KEEP_PLAYING.

Without this, there is a good chance to abort on SIGSTOP/CONT while playing.

This is a regression from 1.22 .

- Build fixes (bugs 227 and 228) and some build system hackery.

Gone are libc feature test macros in compat.h . This means always

using our own strdup() implementation. Simpler than being bugged by

feature test macros in strict compiler mode (when _DEFAULT_SOURCE is not

defined).

- ./configure --enable-nagging does something also without --enable-debug,

explictly triggers -std=c89, too (hence the above).

- Some fixup to make things work in pedantic C89 mode again.

It really might be time to swich on some serious C99 for the next release,

since there's a followup standard to _that_ which we can ignore now.

- Update list of renamed internal symbols to reduce conflicts during static

linking of libmpg123 or libout123.

- Internal compatibility functions now handled via libtool convenience

archives, avoiding the hackish code copies.

1.23.3:

-------

- mpg123: Man page fixes by ESR.

- Actually check for sys/select.h (again?) in configure so that it is used.

Fixes build on a Cygwin install, at least.

- libmpg123: Always default to enabled IEEE 754 hack for rounding on all

platforms, use ./configure --disable-ieeefloat if you do not want it.

As a protection for the exotic machine that does not use IEEE floating

point storage format, mpg123_init() will error out early if the rounding

does not work out.

1.23.2:

-------

- mpg123: Fix compact ID3 tag printing to take UTF-8 character count

into account again (thoughtless regression in 1.23.0).

1.23.1:

-------

- libout123:

-- Fix logic to prevent cases of output devices being closed more than once

(stop after pausing triggered multiple close calls, which broke sndio, for

example).

-- Fix JACK output handling of port wishlist, was simply broken for more than

two ports (-o jack -a port1,port2,port3). Now, it is ensured that each

output ports gets some connection to an out123 channel, possibly splitting

one to multiple ports or mixing multiple channels into one port (cyclic

connection scheme). Note that this does only apply for an explicitly given

list of ports. You can still use --stereo to ensure that two output ports

(if found) are used also for mono tracks.

-- Also use jack_free() in JACK output for ports list.

-- And finally, ensure that pthread library is linked to JACK module (would need

hacking to work on non-POSIX, replacing sem_t with equivalent).

- mpg123:

-- Hide networking-related command-line parameters when disabled.

1.23.0:

-------

- libmpg123 version 42

-- This adds mpg123_framelength() and makes mpg123_position() truly obsolete.

-- Equalizer optional now (./configure --disable-equalizer) to save precious

memory

-- Clip decode tables for large amplification with fixed-point decoders.

Without that, high-pitched distortion enters really quickly when

trying to increase volume even if output samples would not be clipped,

weren't it for fixed-point math.

- libout123 version 1: First incarnation of libout123, a basic library to

get audio data written to audio devices (or files) in simple blocking

manner as opposed to callback APIs (which it wraps over). This collects

the output modules of mpg123 and makes them available to the wider

masses. Also, the separate shared memory buffer process (contained

in libout123) got a lot of reworking which should be noticable in the

interaction with terminal control.

-- Some tuning of several output drivers (modules) regarding flexible

buffer size, client names, supported formats.

-- Notably the JACK output got a major overhaul and now does not swallow

audio at the end anymore. Huge latency also reduced and tunable. Encoding

fixed to floating point, so that libmpg123 actually chooses what is

sensible.

- Added mpg123 --no-infoframe.

- Detect terminal on input side and enable control keys automatically.

There is --no-control now to disable terminal control anyway.

- Display stuff:

-- Avoid spillover of status line that caused unwanted terminal scrolling.

If the terminal width is smaller than the full status string, a cut is

made to make it fit.

-- Draw a progress bar on the terminal by inversing colors behind status

line.

-- Rework the format of the status line to be more compact and consistent.

-- Rework smart tag printout for adapting to terminal width.

-- Warning messages also start with a line break now to better fit in with

verbose playback.

-- Doubly-verbose mode now needed for long MPEG header print out.

It is a higher level of verbosity than printing the current position.

The compact header is a better fit.

-- Compact header printout also compacted, example:

MPEG 1.0 L III cbr128 44100 j-s

-- Reporting of clipped samples also includes a line break now.

-- Keep ID3v2 data around for terminal control to be able to print on

demand. That was broken for some time.

- Default for --preload now is 0.2 instead of 1 (fill whole buffer before

playback). The maximum is 0.5 . This is mandated by corrected buffer

interaction in libout123.

- Improved interaction with buffer process in terminal control mode.

Seeking is more transparent now, taking dropped samples from buffer into

account to avoid unintended jumps. Direct seeks with number row do not

pause playback anymore.

- Silently skip APE tags (thanks to Hans de Goede).

- Some reduction in bitrot on AIX (typos in output module, build with

--disable-largefile --with-audio=aix, real test welcome).

- Added '[' and ']' keys to skip to previous/next directory in playlist.

- Added support for Haiku to configure script (thanks to Jerome Duval).

- Remove spurious Frankenstein warning when scanning files that have no

gapless info (the reported value of -1152 gapless sample length should be

a giveaway anyway).

- Fix a bug in the command line parser that was present from the beginning,

apparently, causing certain parameters (--au, --cdr) to kill off parsing

of following ones. Nobody complained in all these years. Astounding.

- Forget content type from HTTP redirects (relate to error pages, not the

stream redirected to), fixes web radio streams that do not send any

content type for the actual stream.

- Accept application/pls+xml for PLS playlists. It happens. Don't ask

mpg123 to actually parse any XML!

- Ignore whitespace after HTTP MIME types (esp. before a ";").

- Added --name to mpg123 and out123 for providing client name p.ex. for JACK.

There is no default of appending the PID to "mpg123" as client name anymore,

just plain "mpg123" or "out123".

- Added --devbuffer to mpg123 and out123 for influencing device buffer and

possible latency a bit (perhaps more so in future when drivers are adapted

to pay more attention to that).

- Added out123 --channels <n>, --list-encodings, --test-format,

--test-encodings, --query-format.

- Calling ./configure --enable-nagging does not include --enable-debug anymore,

you specify that separately.

- Fix for newer glibc that wants higher POSIX feature test for getaddrinfo()

stuff.

1.22.4:

-------

- Fix stupid regression introduced with a bugfix in 1.14.1 to make

free format streams work again. It took 3 years for someone to notice.

I added a regression test for that now!

1.22.3:

-------

- Fix UTF-16 surrogate detection because that used to falsely detect

characters above 0xDFFF as surrogates (bug 216).

1.22.2:

-------

- Fix buffering for funny sample formats (namely, 24 bit), that do not

fit nicely into 32768 bytes. Effect was a nasty endless loop where

mpg123 needs to be externally killed.

1.22.1:

-------

- Fix mpg123-id3dump when writing images with funny (manipulated) MIME type.

Stupid mistake in length computation of the fallback file extension caused

junk from memory being appended to the filename if the pointer size

is less than 64 bit. For 64 bit pointers (or longer) it was correct by

accident.

- Fix pedantic build by cleaning up out123 source, also now really showing

the encoding list in --longhelp instead of possibly, again, writing junk

from memory in there.

- Not linking libmpg123 against libltdl anymore (bug 215).

- Update MSVC++ ports a bit to make them work again.

1.22.0:

-------

- libmpg123 version 41

- Build fix: Avoid name clash on OSX SDK with "normal" being defined in

an enum already.

- More resilience against folks who do not check errors and rather pass

NULL pointers around (see NEWS.libmpg123).

This changes some return values to MPG123_BAD_HANDLE instead of MPG123_ERR

(always check for != MPG123_OK).

- Fix WAV writing to stdout on Windows (bug 214).

- Rework Xing/Info/Lame tag parsing, also detecting short ones without

the TOC now.

In addition, the warning about file size being off is a _lot_ more

accurate now.

1.21.0:

-------

- Use LL as shortcut for LOADLIST remote command, L is taken already (bug 210).

- Less namespace pollution (MPG123_EXPORT in header instead of EXPORT, bug 212).

1.20.1:

-------

- Make feed reader more efficient when skipping junk by early discarding

of data from buffers to avoid re-parsing.

1.20.0:

-------

- Added NEON optimized decoder for AArch64 (ARM 64bit environment)

-- enabled for --with-cpu=neon64 (NEON only) or --with-cpu=aarch64 (runtime

switch between neon and generic_fpu, like arm_fpu) configuration

-- compatible with aarch64-linux-gnu toolchains (from Ubuntu, debian)

and Xcode 5

- Added new binary out123 only with the audio output part of mpg123.

This is a precursor to separating out said code into a simple audio

output library. It also allows plugging in some processing in a pipe

before feeding to output.

- Prevent opendir(NULL) for unknown module directory when listing modules.

- some build fixes, among those fixing mpg123-id3dump on Windows

1.19.0:

-------

- libmpg123 version 40

- Support float and 32/24 bit integer output also with fixed-point decoders

(conversion from 16 bit precision).

- A-Law output encoding is actually implemented now (Michael introduced

the encoding back in the old days without ever implementing theconversion

table, apparently).

- Added --with-cpu=arm_fpu as decoder choice for runtime switch between

plain fpu code and NEON.

- Fix ARM builds to work properly on debian systems without special CFLAGS

(NEON decoder, specifically).

- Make scripts/benchmark-cpu.pl check the return value instead of delivering

crazy timings for crashed mpg123.

- Trigger track initialization in mpg123_info() to avoid use of uninitialized

variables (watch out for MPG123_NEED_MORE return value!).

- Fix integer code to 32 bit numbers where it would waste 64 bit on

modern systems.

- Add non-executable stack marking also to ARM assembly.

1.18.1:

-------

- Do not close buffer twice with mpg123 -R (delete outdated code in

control_generic(), fixing bug 207.

- Do not mess around with first command line argument to extract program

name, use a copy instead, fixing bug 205.

- Prevent premature exit on timing of failure to open a track in the

playlist and the user wanting to skip over it (bug 206).

- Fixup of HTTP socket mess, also avoiding unnecessary FILE objects (bug

204, patch by Rajeev V. Pillai).

- Fix playlist behaviour on slow HTTP streams, jumping back ('d' key)

from first track stays at first track (thanks to Rajeev again, sub-bug of

bug 206).

- Fix Frankenstein check not to stumble over ID3v1 tags. My apologies. As

a bonus, the position of the concerned code in the parser is now far

more logical.

1.18.0:

-------

- libmpg123 version 39

- Big version increase for clear distinction regarding the 1.14.x regression

fixes in libmpg123.

- Regression fix: Ensure decoder reinitialization on combination of seek

and resync (buffer overflow bug 201, introduced in 1.14.1).

- Regression fix: Make parsing really end on reaching of junk limit

(introduced in 1.14.4).

- Add check for bad bit allocation value in layer I decoder (removes

audible glitch in bug 201 test file).

- Avoid wrong error message about Frankenstein streams when gapless

decoding disabled.

- Be verbose about big header changes (Frankenstein streams). Note that

changes in samples per frame will confuse the seeking code, but decoding

can get through.

- Actually use the full routine to close tracks. Avoids socket leak when

playing multiple HTTP streams from a playlist (bug 203).

- Send correct host header when connecting through HTTP proxy (bug 202,

figured out by Rajeev V. Pillai).

- The console application now informs about changed major stream properties

(prints out another header line).

1.17.0:

-------

- mpg123-id3dump --no-scan; for speedup

- hide -C parameter from mpg123 --help when it is not supported

- added tinyalsa Output (by Jarno Lehtinen)

- build system tweaking

- some care for fixing Cygwin builds

1.16.0:

-------

- Taihei strikes again:

-- New Huffman decoding scheme (configurable, on by default) brings nice

boost to mpg123 to make it the fastest decoder on modern CPUs again.

-- new AVX decoder

-- assembly-optimized DCT36 for SSE and AVX

- added configs for vintage 3DNow(ext) CPUs (AMD K6) utilizing assembly DCT36

- added configs for vintage SSE CPUs (Pentium M), utilizing C DCT36

- added FORMAT command to generic control

- added support for ID3v2 APIC frames

- added mpg123-id3dump as official companion to extract meta data

(including writing of album art from APIC to files)

- added mpg123-strip as official companion to strip dirt out of MPEG streams

(including meta data)

- not deleting ID3 data right after printing in generic control

- module loader a bit more flexible with relative MPG123_MODDIR

- Fix chopped-off playback with pulseaudio output: draining the output

now on closing.

- SDL output fixup, a) not chopping off end and b) non-fatal underrun

- Fix obvious errors in win32 output ... does it now play the end of

tracks? Need someone to test this.

- added support for screen and iris-ansi terminals with --title (as prompted

by patch from sf.net user canavan)

- fixes/enhancements for sgi audio output

- libmpg123: proper largefile aliases for proper systems (FreeBSD with

one one-and-only off_t

This enables client software that insists on defining pointless

_FILE_OFFSET_BITS.

- wrapper script src/mpg123-with-modules to ease the pain of running mpg123

with modules without installation (setting MPG123_MODDIR)

- removed ALSA 0.5 code (unused for longtime, last GPL-only bit)

1.15.4:

-------

- Writing CDDA data via --cdr works again; had also been broken by attempts

to catch failing writes because of full disk.

- Also, the return values of WAV/CDR writing routines now properly indicate

error to avoid stupid endless loop of "smart" audio writing code that wants

to handle interruptions. Really, --cdr could just go and nobody would miss

it ...

- Fix stupid bug in mpg123_chomp_string() (introduced in 1.15.1), empty

lines were badly treated. Only usage in mpg123 is for parsing HTTP redirect

headers; malicious HTTP servers might exploit that (possibility to zero

bytes in memory).

- some cleanup for nagging mode

- more resync strictness to really catch (all) cases with changing decoder

structure; in practice badly needed when disabling seekbuffer (so it's

your fault, somehow ...) for non-seekable streams, otherwise not really

an issue because of readahead checking

I repeat: This fixes possibly fatal behaviour in the parser when readahead

checking is explicitly disabled (p.ex. via mpg123 --no-seekbuffer on

http streams). By default, readahead checking is _always_ active!

- build system fixed for automake 1.13 (thanks to Nix)

1.15.3

---

- Fix WAV writing. AGAIN. People love to decode WAV to stdout in various

ways that started to get broken with me starting to care for people who

like to write to full disks. I frikkin' HATE this rat race! I'm even

starting to SHOUT. Now, the code prefers to write no header at all (when

there is no actual output) instead of possibly writing too many misleading

ones. Getting the blame for breaking dir2ogg repeatedly while trying to

cope with one fatal situation that you cannot really cope with sucks. Big

time. I hope that's it now!

1.15.2:

-------

- build fix with older shells (== in configure)

1.15.1:

-------

- libmpg123 API version 37

- Fix corner case in HTTP communication with missing path in Location header

(bug 187).

- Prevent nasty alignment issues by not guessing about assembler alignment

when .balign is available (bug 188).

1.15.0:

-------

- Added --continue (also see scripts/conplay).

- Added number row to terminal control keys for 10% jump points (for

navigating long tracks).

- Set xterm title always if asked, disregarding the -q switch (if you want

fully quiet, don't specify --title).

- Enable terminal mode in OS/2 by explicitly checking for and using

os2term library.

- Getting WAV/AU/CDR writing back to a sane state while still catching

out-of-disk when writing headers (none in case of CDR) but removing

that initial test that prevented writing on any non-seekable file (like,

/dev/stdout to a pipe).

- Added native audio output for QNX (thanks to Mike Gorchak), also improving

portability of configure script while at that.

- more robust recovery from ALSA issues (device suspend)

- Fix crash in module loader on *BSD.

- Extend time display to switch to hours above 60 minutes (hh:mm:ss,

ditching the sub-second precision)

- really include dithering in default x86-64 build.

- Fix mpg123_scan() not properly seeking back for all types of files (bug

3582628 ... it got a different number on sf.net now ... brilliant, folks!).

- Prevent false positives for "Frankenstein!" when using mpg123_scan().

- Fix printing of negative positions with buffer (bug 186).

- Accept application/x-scpls as additional MIME type.

- Try to handle certain Windows toolchains that miss EOVERFLOW.

1.14.4:

-------

Who reworks a parsing and data mangling without really making sure that

things still work like before? I hope I won't do so in future. Not again.

- Fix resync logic to properly work again (used to prematurely end stream

on bad headers). A regression again, this sucks, but at least we got a

regression test for that now.

- Fix aeon-old regression (since 1.11.0) about short seeks: Bit reservoir

was reset also for short seeks that did not break continuity.

- Another damned regression got fixed: Sample-accurate seek for files

without full gapless info.

1.14.3:

-------

- Fix regression from 1.14.1 in parsing of bad free format streams,

avoiding apparently endless loops (just very slow reading, in fact).

1.14.2:

-------

- Fix writing of WAV to stdout.

It is still not the best of ideas to do so, though. At least make sure

to fix rate and channels.

1.14.1:

-------

- Fix subtle bug that could trigger failure to detect a format change on

resync when using libmpg123's feeder API.

That bug has been there since ages but was neutralized by other (buggy)

behaviour of the parser before the little overhaul. The Law of an Even

Number of Bugs.

1.14.0:

-------

- libmpg123 API version 36 (see NEWS.libmpg123)

- Add --ignore-streamlength.

- But also deal with concatenated (Frankenstein) streams: Not applying

gapless cutting once we're over the announced number of frames.

- Also, gapless cutting is only applied if relevant information is

present. Previously, at least the decoder delay has been cut.

- Add --lyrics for printout of lyrics (from USLT in ID3v2).

- Added handling of SIGUSR1 and SIGUSER2 to terminal control code,

configurable via --ctrlusr1 and --ctrlusr2.

- Some low-level API added (mpg123_framedata(), mpg123_framepos(), buffering

and resampling control).

- Added info about input buffer fill to mpg123_getstate().

- ReplayGain: Try to detect LAME below 3.95 for the different reference

level of 83 dB (adding preamp of 6 dB). Version 3.95 itself (not 3.95.1)

I cannot detect. User-set gain values are not touched.

- Keep silent about missing bit reservoir when ignoring frames. That is

the whole point (mostly;-).

- Add the new/old WRITE_SAMPLE variant from MPlayer that makes the generic

decoder faster on older CPUs (x86 at least). Not on x86-64, though (it's

not enabled per default there).

- disable 3DNow and 3DNowExt DCT36, which is slow on modern CPUs

- Handle out-of-disk in the file writers (a bit, see

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=67259)

- Added Xcode project files to build libmpg123 on Mac OS and iOS

- 32 bit output for sndio output (patch by Brad Smith).

- Remote control interface knows LOADLIST command now.

- Now freeing meta data memory after printout.

- Some documentation cleanup, including manpage fixes by quadrispro.

- Re-enabled wildcard expansion on Windows (been broken by unicode file

name support).

- Fix MMX tabinit syntax (thanks to Marcel Müller for pointing that out).

- Fix SGI audio output (been broken since change to modules).

- Fix some fringe behaviour (mpg123_getformat() triggering needless reading

of next frame, possibly hitting bogus MPG123_NEED_MORE).

- Resync limit now also serves to increase amount of skipped junk on

beginning.

- Better separation of stream end and read error (in case there is no

stream opened, even).

- Don't always complain about failed free format header search (only with

verbosity level 3).

1.13.8:

-------

- Fix build for ARM Thumb (incompatible assembly in some macros).

1.13.7:

-------

- Fix endless loop in module loader when starting mpg123 in a directory

that does not exist.

1.13.6:

-------

- Fix output of one random character in -vvv mode for ID3v2.2 frames

(no buffer overflow, move along, folks;-).

1.13.5:

-------

- Fix reading of ReplayGain values from Lame tag (nobody seen this before?!)

(both actual values and the distinction between audiophile / radio).

- Accept application/octet-stream as input from HTTP.

- Update man page with encodings.

- Build fixes.

1.13.4:

-------

- Fix bogus error on resync with big offsets (hits systems that have bigger

off_t than int), bug 3393801.

- Fix windows binary package build script again with plugdir.

1.13.3:

-------

- Fix an endless loop on bad headers, bug 3267863.

- Prevent compiler warnings about unused variables with gcc 4.6 .

- Fix return value handling of getaddrinfo(), bug 3288333.

- Make decwin size computation work for OPT_ARM and sizeof(long) != 4

(bug 3288360).

1.13.2:

-------

- Updated .NET wrapper (MPG123_SKIP_ID3V2, encsize and mpg123_strlen

functions) by Malcolm Boczek.

- Fix crash when calling mpg123_decoder() before opening a track -- a rare

use case since one can choose a decoder with mpg123_new() already.

- Fix format change detection for certain (artificial) concatenated streams

(p.ex. MPEG 1 frames following MPEG 2 frames).

- Prevent the nasty of bug 3154889: No change of pitch without a current

audio format. No proper solution, but more like earlier behaviour.

- Fix some compiler warnings.

- Fix a memory leak in the module loader, also some in the examples,

for being pedantic.

- More use of AC_LANG_SOURCE to silence autoconf.

1.13.1:

-------

- Fix --float and --8bit (MPG123_FORCE_FLOAT, MPG123_FORCE_8BIT) regression,

caused by introduction of 24 bit formats. (bug 3151597).

Btw: The use of specific format choice via `mpg123 -e f32` and friends

is encouraged (meaning mpg123_format_none() / mpg123_format() calls in

libmpg123 API).

- Loosen the parser restrictions: Allow the private header bit to vary. It

is not mpg123's business anyway (finally suggested by Marcel).

1.13.0:

-------

- libmpg123 API version 29 (see NEWS.libmpg123)

- New optimization: ARM NEON (Cortex A series) -- kudos to Taihei, again!

- Added 24 bit integer output (truncation of 32 bit integer).

- Cleanup of symbols for the static library: Only have global symbols that

are actually needed, prefix them with INT123_ to avoid conflicts.

- Added --streamdump to get a copy of the data libmpg123 used.

- Added --icy-interval and tweaked libmpg123 to make playback of ICY stream

dumps possible.

- Added possibility to set module file suffix at build -- to be able to

avoid .la files for plugins.

- Removed compiler directives for alignment and disable associated tests.

The tests don't work on a wide range of compilers anyway, and newer gccs

do have force_align_arg_pointer to fix bad stacks.

- There is no ChangeLog file anymore... it was autogenerated from subversion

log anyway, so look there if interested.

1.12.5:

-------

- Fix bug with the new meta data printout of the mpg123 app; embedded

null bytes in UTF-8 strings in non-UTF-8 environment would trigger buffer

overflow.

Thanks to Jakub Bogusz of PLD Linux for the tip. And yes, shame on Thomas

for changing working string handling code. At all.

1.12.4:

-------

- Fix formatting of meta data printout in UTF-8 (string length computing).

As a collorary, ID3v1 data is reduced to ASCII in UTF-8 environment,

as we do never know what specific encoding that has.

1.12.3:

-------

- Fix a long-standing bug that subtly broke http streaming with ICY meta

data when reading a bit more quickly, like when using the buffer.

I was a very simple and embarrassing bug, actually ... and it made

me wonder how normal streaming still worked rather well, generally:-/

Thanks to Lint for staying with us and reporting bug 3022850, to finally

get a grip on streaming reliability.

1.12.2:

-------

- Fix for nasty memory corruption on configurations that hand out addresses

in the upper half of the memory space (the poiner alignment function broke

in that case, bug 2996045).

- Various build and portability fixes (including making some exotic

configure switches work (again)).

- Add dump_seekindex example

- Sync mpg123_clr to 1.12 feature set, patch provided by Malcolm Boczek

And actually include it in release tarball!

- Rework mpg123.h logic for large file stuff a bit, clients can control

it by defining MPG123_NO_LARGENAME or MPG123_LARGESUFFIX.

- Include dumb wrappers to provide names suffixed with _64 on 64 bit

machines and _32 on 32 bit machines, respectively, to help clients that

insist on defining _FILE_OFFSET_BITS where it is not needed (or with a

non-large value).

- Tuning of the internal buffer code for feeder mode to minimize its

performance impact (works in 4K blocks now).

- Workaround for compiler bugs in Open64/PathScale/SunStudio (bug 3004396,

suggestion by Doug Gilmore).

Note that Sun Studio is still a tricky fellow, at least when it comes

to our preprocessed assembly.

Also, x86-Open64 recently produced another segfault in layer3.c on my

box... GNU and intel compilers are what one can use as something stable.

- Make mpg123_getformat() return more error codes (like MPG123_NEED_MORE).

- Fix handle I/O for clients with small file offset (32 bit when libmpg123

has 64 bit).

- Fix 3DNow(Ext) standalone builds.

1.12.1:

-------

- Update INSTALL for the dual-mode library. No code changes.

1.12.0:

-------

Attention: This reverts the big bad libray name change. People did not

like libmpg123_64.so at all ... so Thomas went along with proving that

being responsible for a open source library package sucks for your life --

he coded large file dual-mode into libmpg123. One library with both APIs,

like glibc.

- libmpg123 25.0.25:

-- The separate libraries are gone again, this one is dual-mode (using

ca. 750 lines of not very funny code).

-- The library even translates callbacks between large file support modes.

-- Introduce handle-based custom I/O in libmpg123.

-- The header now defines MPG123_API_VERSION to help compile-time detection

of available functions (lib is version 25.0.25 now... MPG123_API_VERSION

is 25).

- Make the usage of AI_ADDRCONFIG dependend on a configure check. This

flag is not available everywhere.

1.11.0:

-------

Attention: There was a re-release of the source archive, because the

initial one missed the actual changes for the library name.

Sorry for the inconvenience:-/

- Big bad libray name change for builds with enabled large file support.

That will break libmpg123 binary compatibility on Linux/x86 when upgrading

from mpg123>=1.5.0 with enabled large file support. You need to relink

with the new library called libmpg123_64.

If you do not enable large file support, or it is implicit on your

platform (x86-64), the library keeps the old name of libmpg123 and

everything is fine.

- Assembler cleanup:

-- no use of compiler-based stack alignment (for SSE), helping portability

-- mostly performance neutral, hint at faster decoding for the dynamic

build and slower for static, but small change in any case

- Windows networking (access http streams in mingw builds).

- Do not ask for addresses that do not have matching interfaces configured

(IPv6 on a IPv4-only host, for example). That can help with broken DNS

servers that choke on IPv6 addresses (T-Online Speedport W502V, for example).

- Fix a potential ICY reading problem were ICY metadata could be read as

mp3 data (basically for MPEG frames bigger than the ICY interval).

1.10.1:

-------

- Help multilib setups that boldly assume that headers are invariant

by removing the consistency check in mpg123.h and instead just adding a

suffix to relevant functions when _FILE_OFFSET_BITS is defined. Invalid

setups will now fail at the linking stage instead of the preprocessing stage.

That should cover bug 2934488.

- Fixes for gapless decoding:

-- Correctly skip padding larger than one MPEG frame (strange, but occurs).

-- Bug 2950218 (proper gapless cuts for seeking near the end).

- Make sure the search for the first header aborts after 64K of one-byte

reads, as always intended (bug 2951334).

Certain files (or even random data) were able to fool mpg123 sufficiently

enough that it basically reads through the whole file in 1-byte steps

in search for MPEG data.

The limit of 64K will very likely be configurable in a future mpg123

version.

- Fix subtle bug with seeking in feeder mode: A seek close to the current

position (meaning: the needed data offset is already in mpg123's buffer

chain) resulted in skipped bytes.

- Improve the feeder mode for handling large amounts of junk at the

beginning, including proper passing of the request for more data when trying

to determine free format frame size. This also fixes endless looping as

reported in bug 2951334.

- The parser code still needs overhaul. It is not pretty.

- Compile fix for OpenAL.

1.10.0:

-------

- Confirmed/fixed on OS/2 platform.

At least a static build works with native audio output and generic decoder.

- Make modules work with libtool-2.2.6b .

- Added pitch command to control interface.

- HTTP header field and MIME type parsing now case-insensitive (fixes

bug 2904736).

Also, the MIME-parsing for non-playlist URLs is done the same way as

from playlists now.

And, we interpret MIME types only to before a ";" (see bug 2836904).

- There is a build-time option to enable unicode file names on windows

now. UNIX (Linux) does not need that, UTF-8 works natively.

An unicode-enabled build of libmpg123 expects file names as UTF-8 strings,

opening of non-utf8 strings (by old applications) still works via fallback

when the conversion of the string or opening of the file failed.

- Also, on Windows, --realtime now works, along with added granularity of

the new --priority parameter. Note that you get the latter functionality

through nice/renice on UNIX, no need to add that to mpg123.

- Added experimental framebyframe API.

- Added a new Microsoft common language runtime wrapper (aka .NET wrapper)

written by Malcolm Boczek. See ports\MSVC++\2008clr\mpg123clr\ReadMe.txt

for further information

- Added Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 project files for libmpg123

- Updated autotools machinery, autogen.sh is gone, use `autoreconf -iv`.

1.9.2:

------

- Fix logic failure in gapless code: The trailing silence was only cut on

the first decode. So, seek-back and decode again never was gapless:-(

- Fix linker flags on MacOS 10.6 .

- Improve portability (mainly for Solaris/x86, possibly others).

- Fix reading from standard input in Windows (use binary mode).

1.9.1:

------

- Fix OpenAL output issue (bug 2840085)

- Fix theoretically possible discarding of some audio samples when getting

a new format.

- Fix unwanted verboseness (some error messages from library even when

MPG123_QUIET was specified).

- Fix back-to-beginning for feed_skip (fixes bug 2859531).

- Fix the CPU creep bug with NtoM decoding.

That one has been nasty on you with large files since bad frame fillup

has been introduced.

- Fix regression (since 1.9.0) in ID3 parsing: Now Foobar2000 RVA fields

are interpreted again (among others).

- Fix some compiler warnings, minor cleanup.

1.9.0:

------

- Free format support.

- ARM assembly optimizations (yay Taihei again!).

- Dither noise now runtime-generated, thus less bloated binary (thanks

Taihei...).

This means that dithered decoding is now included per default.
