just a quick question: on Rarewares, there is Lame3.70 and then jump to 3.80, nothing in between. Is this because these Lame versions were never released?

thanks, J.M.

Hstory.html (included in the Lame bundle wink.gif) says there were no versions between 3.70 (April 6 2000) and 3.80beta (May 6 2000).

ah thanks, havent thought of looking in the changelog

Take a closer look at the dates.
Version 3.70 stable was released a month after 3.80 beta
Perhaps one of the LAME devs could elaborate a liitle more on the release strategy.
My guess is that ISO code removal justified an 0.1 version numer increase.
That's a long time ago btw, iirc I jumped on the LAME train somewhere around version 3.86 beta smile.gif

QUOTE
LAME 3.81beta (CVS)
* LAME 3.81beta March 8 2000
* all ISO code removed!
* Takehiro Tominaga and Naoki Shibata: new MDCT routines.
* ISO 7680bit buffer limitation removed. It can be reactivated with "--strictly-enforce-ISO" Please report any trouble with high bitrate.
LAME 3.80beta March 6 2000
* Takehiro Tominaga: more efficient and faster huffman encoding!
* Takehiro Tominaga and Mark Taylor: much improved short block compression!
* Tomasz Motylewski and Mark Taylor: MPEG2.5 now supported!
* Mark Taylor: incorporated Takehiro's bitstream.c! bitstream.c used by default, but old ISO bitstream code can also be used.
* Scott Manley and Mark Taylor: good resampling routine finaly in LAME. uses a 19 point FIR filter with Blackman window. Very slow for non integer resampling ratios.
* Iwasa Kazmi: fixed SIGBUS error: VBR and id3 tags were using data after it was free()'d.
* Robert Hegemann: Improved VBR tuning. #define RH_QUALITY_CONTROL and #RH_SIDE_VBR now the defaults.
* Robert Hegemann: LAME version string now added to ancillary data.
* Kimmo Mustonen: VBR histogram support for Amiga.
* Casper Gripenberg: VBR stats (but not histogram) for DOS verson.
* Robert Hegemann: rare VBR overflow bug fixed.
* Zack: -F option strictly enforces the VBR min bitrate. Without -F, LAME will ignore the minimum bitrate when encoding analog silence.
* Shawn Riley: User can now specify a compression ratio (--comp <arg>) instead of a bit rate. Default settings based on a compression ratio of 11.0
* Mark Taylor: free format bitstreams can be created with --freeformat, and specify any integer bitrate from 8 to 320kbs with -b.
* Mark Taylor: lame be used as a decoder (output raw pcm only): lame --decode input.mp3 output.pcm
LAME 3.70 April 6 2000
* "LAME 3.69beta becomes LAME 3.70 "stable"
