Monkey's Audio 10.62 + x64

Fixed: The DirectShow filter did not install 64-bit version properly so 64-bit DirectX programs could not find it (NSIS did not register 64-bit DLLs properly).
Fixed: Cleaned up the DirectShow Filter because it had some preprocessor defines causing problems in some configurations, also removed a pin name causing Clang warnings (MSDN said it was obsolete). Please report any issues.

Changed: Updated to Visual Studio 17.9.2.
Changed: Split the Direct Show SDK off to a seperate library.
Changed: Enabled Clang on the remaining Direct Show filter code and worked through the warnings.

Changed: Updated to Visual Studio 17.9.1 (fixes possible problem with older CPUs due to a compiler bug).

Changed: Switched the range tables to smart pointers so only the one being used will be built.

Changed: Switched the range table lookup tables to members from statics to avoid possible race conditions.

Fixed: Building APE_INFO_WAV_TOTAL_BYTES was not working properly because it read the header and footer size before they were loaded.
Changed: Updated to Visual Studio 17.8.5.

Fixed: The new header reader was not reporting position correctly so some files would fail to encode.

Changed: Made use of a new APE_INFO_MD5_MATCHES test during quick verify. This way reading the MD5 is wrapped up nicely.
Changed: Switched CAPEDecompress::GetInfo to a switch statement for slightly better performance.
Changed: Updated to Visual Studio 17.7.5.

Changed: Updated to Visual Studio 17.7.4.
Changed: Updated the copyrights to 2024.
Changed: The check for AIFF / AIFC in file headers was incorrectly allowing other things to pass.

Changed: Added a License.txt file by the installer that gets copied to the install path (also included in the SDK).
Changed: Updated to Visual Studio 17.7.2.
Changed: Added a license link to the help menu.
Changed: Changed a few variables to have APE_ names because JRiver was having compile problems (Objective C doesn't care that things are in a namespace).

NEW: Added the ability to convert tags to legacy ID3v1 in the console program (my car stereo needs this).
Changed: Updated to Visual Studio 17.7.1.

Changed: In task manager, Monkey’s Audio is listed without the „windows program“ footer.
Changed: Updated to FLAC 1.4.3.
Changed: Tuned the sizing of the large tag field getting a little.
Changed: Updated to Visual Studio 17.6.4.

Fixed: Getting a large APE tag field could return a buffer size that was too small so the next get would fail.

Fixed: The AVX-512 code could fail to compile on some systems.
Changed: Updated to Visual Studio 17.6.1.
Changed: Enabled reference optimization which makes the build smaller.
Changed: Updated to WavPack 5.6.4.

Changed: Simplified the license agreement to make it easier for inclusion in other projects.
Changed: Updated to version 2.79 of the ALAC tool.
Changed: The button images are created only once instead of again for the options dialog (slightly faster).
Changed: Winamp settings are stored in a section marked APE Plugin Settings when writing to the Winamp INI file.
Changed: Workaround a few NOLINT markers.
Changed: Updated to Visual Studio 17.6.0.

Fixed: When processing, if you would drag the program to a different monitor the toolbar would be created in the non-processing mode.
Changed: Column widths should maintain better dragging between different scaled monitors.
Fixed: Some files in the WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE format would not start for the last few builds.

Changed: Improved ARM support.
Changed: Updated to Visual Studio 17.5.3.

Changed: Moved the file size check back to APEInfo for reading the whole file on quick verify.

NEW: Added 32-bit float compression (thanks Robert Kausch!).
Changed: Updated to Visual Studio 17.5.2.
Changed: File information shows information for AIFF, SND, etc. (all the supported formats) instead of only for WAV.
Fixed: Converting from APE to APE would discard some of the extra information like that it should decode to AIFF, etc.
Fixed: CAF files with a data block that was not block aligned could have the last few bytes discarded on decode.
Changed: Converting the compression level of an APE file will update the file size each start since the original file is changed.
Changed: Updated CAPECompressCreate::Start to check the format tag of the passed wave format object.
Fixed: Old files could fail to decode since the addition of the faster lookup table.
Fixed: Extreme 32-bit files could fail to compress properly (now an overflow condition is encoded, so such files will need to be reencoded and decoded with the latest).

Changed: Updated to Visual Studio 17.5.0.
Changed: Removed a couple more warning suppressions (should be transparent change, but please report any issues).
Fixed: Building the new Neon optimizations could fail with some versions of GCC.
Fixed: AVX could crash on Mac due to memory alignment.

Changed: Made decoding around 10% faster by using a lookup table.

NEW: Added AVX-512 optimizations when available.
Changed: Tuned some string functions for building on other platforms and other compilers.

NEW: Improved and newly added optimizations (thanks Robert Kausch!):
* Intel SSE/AVX optimizations are now selected at runtime based on CPU capbilities.
* Added SSE4.1 and AVX2 optimizations for 24/32 coding.
* Added ARM Neon optimizations.
* Improved existing SSE2 and AVX2 optimizations for improved performance.
* General optimizations for improved performance.
NEW: Switched to the CMake build system for non-Windows and MinGW/MSYS builds.
Fixed: The console application didn’t show fractional seconds for total elapsed time.
Changed: Updated to Visual Studio 17.4.4.
Changed: Changed the casting in the prepare code so it casts as the native type once then uses that type instead of casting each use.
Changed: Use APE_NULL a little more widely.
Changed: Switched to std::thread for processing files (instead of BeginThread).
Fixed: Closing the program while it was processing could leave temporary files – now all the processes are terminated instead.
Changed: The temporary filenames used during processing have the thread ID in them so they’re more unique.
Changed: When all files are OK, the message is shown and no sorting is performed (would sort, but basically shuffled).
Fixed: Very short files could try to read ID3v1 tags and cause problems because there wasn’t enough data there.

Changed: Made the SSE definition check for __SSE2__ outside MSVC.
Changed: Made APE_NULL nullptr on all platforms instead of MSVC only.

Changed: The program just assumes that every platform has SSE2 support since that has been the target for the 32-bit build for some time.
Changed: Switched to an integer define of the ID3 size instead of using sizeof because that warns about the data type sometimes (and just check that the size of the structure matches that size at save and load).
Changed: Defined a one packing size around the ID3 definition to avoid packing problems.
Changed: Replaced some numeric conversions with static_cast implementations.
Changed: Use the define APE_NULL a little more widely.
Changed: Use const on any variable that isn’t changed again in MACLib (possible performance improvement).

Changed: An ID3v1 tag is still checked for even if there are 128 bytes of terminating data on a modern encode since the header contains enough information. Legacy encodes still will not be able to check.
Changed: Updated another code path for the ID3v1 tag checking (used by third parties).
Changed: Verifying legacy files is a little faster because it doesn’t open the decompress twice any longer.
Fixed: The whole file I/O object returned the wrong values on seek and could throw some pieces off.

Changed: Updated to FLAC 1.4.2.
Changed: Updated from the beta to release of TAK 2.3.3.
Changed: Updated to QAAC 2.77.
Changed: WAV files with ID3v1 tags at the end would fail to decode. Now ID3v1 tags are no longer checked for if that’s the exact size of the WAV terminating data.

NEW: Added support for 8-bit signed files (AU, AIFF, CAF, etc. formats).
Changed: Improved the AIFF parsing so it will accept a wider range of files (the code assumed the COMM chunk came first, but it did not have to).
NEW: Added support for AIFC files.

Fixed: When decompressing an AIFF files (or other non-WAV encodes) with WavPack, the file type would always result in WAV.
Changed: Updated to Visual Studio 17.4.2.
Changed: Added a GetAPEFileType call to get the output file extension and no longer rename files after processing.
Changed: Conversion of non-WAV types between different formats like APE and WavPack works better.
