Better multichannel support
Large file (>2GB) support everywhere
flac now supports FLAC and Ogg FLAC as input to the encoder (e.g. can re-encode FLAC to FLAC) and preserve all the metadata like tags, etc.
-
New PICTURE metadata block for storing things like cover art, new --picture option to flac and --import-picture-from option to metaflac for importing pictures, new --export-picture-to option to metaflac for exporting pictures, and metadata API additions for searching for suitable pictures based on type, size and color constraints.

Support for new REPLAYGAIN_REFERENCE_LOUDNESS tag.
Fixed a bug in Ogg FLAC encoding where metadata was not being updated properly. Existing Ogg FLAC files should be recoded to fix up the metadata, e.g. flac -Vf -S 10s --ogg file.ogg
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.

+ - Improved the -F option to allow decoding of FLAC files whose metadata is corrupted, and other kinds of severe corruption.
- Encoder can now take FLAC and Ogg FLAC as input. The output FLAC file will have all the same metadata as the original unless overridden with options on the command line.
- Encoder can now take WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE WAVE files as input; decoder will output WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE WAVE files when necessary to conform to the latest Microsoft specifications.
- 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.
- 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.
- - Added a new option --tag-from-file for setting a tag from file (e.g. for importing a cuesheet as a tag).
- - Added a new option --picture for adding pictures.
