New features:
  • Exporting Oggs - XiphQT can now be used to produce Ogg files; two encoders are included in version 0.1.7:
    • Theora,
    • Vorbis;
  • Multichannel audio - XiphQT now uses correct channel mappings for Ogg files with multichannel (up to 5.1) Vorbis and FLAC audio;
  • Progressive loading - progressive loading in Ogg importer has been mostly finished, and is enabled for network sources and local files larger than 7.0 MB.

Fixes and improvements:
  • XiphQT builds as a single statically-linked bundle, which simplifies installation and makes embedding in other applications much easier (see e.g. Democracy Player);
  • Ogg importer uses bulk-update API and does it less frequently;
  • assembly optimized code is on by default for the Theora decoder and encoder on Intel platform;
  • other small fixes.

Known problems and limitations:
  • while Ogg Theora files are progressively loading video stalls once a second until the loading process is completed - we're working on this;
  • metadata/tags support in Ogg exporter is not implemented, yet;
  • XiphQT still does not support native FLAC file format.
