• huge amount of performance tweaks (including power consumption tweaks)
• cuesheets embedded into FLAC's vorbis comments
• 24 bit flac support
• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME env variable support
• APE format support through libdemac
• launcher (.desktop) file
• scroll follows playback (optional)
• no more "?" when no track number in tags
• fixed seekbar accuracy bug
• improved cuesheet reader
• cuesheet text charset detection (utf8, iso8859-1, cp1251)
• improved mp3 parser (better vbr duration calc, more accurate seeking, etc)
• fixed bug when starting files from command line using relative paths

2009/09/06

• id3v1 loader will always try to detect cp1251.
• id3v2 loader will only try to detect cp1251 if encoding is not specified.
• vorbis comment tags (both in ogg vorbis and flac files) and APE tags (both in ape and mp3 files) must always be utf8, so no detection will be done here.
• id3v2 tags with encoding explicitly set to iso8859-1 will always be loaded as iso8859-1. period.
• id3v2 tags inserted into flac files will be ignored.
• 8bit charsets other than cp1251 and iso8859-1 (like koi8-r) are not supported now, but might be added in the future.

git version has several bugfixes/improvements over alpha release, so feel free to use it.

git clone git://deadbeef.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/deadbeef/deadbeef

first alpha release 0.1.0 just happened on Wed Aug 19 21:59:27 CEST 2009!

fix is very easy, and will be available in next release, and in git head when i have time to prepare and push it

thanks for understanding and happy hacking!
