Release Notes: This release adds a trackverify utility for detecting damaged or truncated audio files whenever possible, and performs the same checks during transcoding. The default audio type and default quality level is now selectable. External requirements for WavPack support have been removed. Support was added for the esoteric multichannel Apple Lossless format.

Release Notes: Support was added for the MusicBrainz metadata retrieval service. The installation procedure was simplified by eliminating the separate Construct dependency. Error handling was improved when files cannot be read or written properly. Numerous additional bugfixes were performed.
Release Notes: Critical M4A tagging bugs were fixed. Optional support was added for Nero's free AAC codec. ID3v2 tag reading was improved to cover more rare edge cases. Support was added for "track total" and "disc total" metadata fields. The entire suite can now be translated with the use of standard gettext-based utilities.
