+                               <LI>Partial id3v1 support in Winamp plugins.</LI>
+                               <LI>Updated Winamp 3 plugin.</LI>
+                               <LI>Note: new semantics for -P option in <B><TT>flac</TT></B>.</LI>

+                               <LI>New <A HREF="format.html#metadata_block_vorbis_comment">VORBIS_COMMENT</A> metadata block for tagging with Vorbis-style comments.</LI>
+                               <LI>Customizable metadata filtering by type in decoders.</LI>
+                               <LI>Stream encoder can take an arbitrary list of metadata blocks, instead of just one SEEKTABLE and/or PADDING block.</LI>
+                       </UL>
+                       <P>
+                       Bugs fixed:
+                       <UL>
+                               <LI>Fixed bug with using pipes under Windows.</LI>
+                               <LI>Fixed several bugs in the plugins and made them more robust in general.</LI>

+                               <LI>Fixed bug in Ogg packet numbering.</LI>
