Thanks you all, guys. Just doing some tests and waiting for final release. I thinking about switching to exhale from "portable" (you know ;-) qaac setup for achieving.

Thanks to all of you, for trying this release, and especially to AiZ, Case, celona, guruboolez, IgorC, John, kode54, m14u and many others for lots of testing and feedback over the last 5 years!

The new release is out, see https://gitlab.com/ecodis/exhale/-/commit/069a9fd3 and the release notes e.g. at www.ecodis.de/exhale/release.htm. It's a minor bugfix release for the usual SFB_QUANT_PERCEPT_OPT > 0 behavior, so you only need to update your encodings if you've previously used SBR preset f.

Standard and "SFB_QUANT_PERCEPT_OPT-0", win32 and x64 compiles now on Rarewares.

@Chris - Are the "BA_MORE_CBR" versions still relevant? If so, I'll update the compiles.

I'd say no. People could contact you or me if they need updated MORE_CBR binaries.

Forgot to thank Kamedo2 in the list above, sorry.
