<li>Support for new <tt>REPLAYGAIN_REFERENCE_LOUDNESS</tt> tag.</li>
<li>In the developer libraries, the interface has been simplfied by merging the three decoding layers into a single class; ditto for the encoders. Also, libOggFLAC has been merged into libFLAC and libOggFLAC++ has been merged into libFLAC++ so there is a single API supporting both native FLAC and Ogg FLAC.</li>

<li>Speaker assignments and channel orders for 3-6 channels (see <a href="format.html#frame_header">frame header</a>).</li>
<li>Further restrictions on the <a href="format.html#subset">FLAC subset</a> when the sample rate is <=48kHz; in this case the maximum LPC order is now 12 and maximum blocksize is 4608. This is to further limit the processing and memory requirements for hardware implementations while not measurably affecting compression.</li>

flac:

<li>Encoder can now take FLAC as input. The output FLAC file will have all the same metadata as the original unless overridden with options on the command line.</li>
<li>Encoder can now take WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE WAVE files as input; decoder will output WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE WAVE files when necessary to conform to the latest Microsoft specifications.</li>
<li>Now properly supports AIFF and WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE multichannel input, performing necessary channel reordering both for encoding and decoding. WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE channel mask is also saved to a tag on encoding and restored on decoding for situations when there is no natural mapping to FLAC channel assignments.</li>
<li>Expanded support for "odd" sample resolutions to WAVE and AIFF input; all resolutions from 4 to 24 bits-per-sample now supported for all input types.</li>
