- <P>FLAC 1.1.0 is out. New features include ReplayGain and cue sheet support, improved 24-bit compression, and tag editing in the plugins. See <A HREF="news.html#20030126">here</A> for the full list.</P>
- <P>Note that the minor version has incremented, meaning forward compatibility was broken (forward compatibility means an earlier decoder can play all streams made by a later decoder). This is only because of a bug in 1.0.4 and prior where the decoder could not properly skip unknown metadata. The stream format itself has not changed and FLAC is still fully backward-compatible. All it means is that a FLAC file containing cue sheet metadata will not decode in older decoders. This bug is fixed in 1.1.0.</P>
- <P>Attention <A HREF="http://www.turtlebeach.com/site/products/audiotron/producthome.asp">AudioTron</A> users: Bery Rinaldo has released his <A HREF="http://file-ext-map.sourceforge.net/">Samba File Extension Mapping VFS Module</A> that allows FLAC files to be played on the AudioTron.</P>
+ <P><B>Just in:</B> <A HREF="http://www.livephish.com/">livephish.com</A> is now offering recordings in FLAC format in addition to MP3.</P>
+ <P><B>Neuros:</B> Neuros and Xiph.org are <A HREF="http://www.neurosaudio.com/press/news_item.aspx?itemID=80">collaborating</A> to bring Vorbis support to Neuros Digital Audio Computers. Now that FLAC is part of Xiph, Neuros is <A HREF="http://www.neurosaudio.com/support/GeneralFunctionsfaq.asp#a8">considering FLAC support</A>. You can follow some of the Vorbis and FLAC discussions <A HREF="http://www.neurosaudio.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=114&SearchTerms=flac">here</A> and <A HREF="http://www.neurosaudio.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17">here</A>.</P>
+ <P>FLAC has joined the Xiph project; see <A HREF="http://xiph.org/ogg/flac.html">here</A> for the press release.</P>
+ <P><A HREF="http://xiph.org/">Xiph.org</A> is behind other free codecs such as <A HREF="http://www.vorbis.com/">Vorbis</A>, <A HREF="http://www.theora.org/">Theora</A>, and <A HREF="http://www.speex.org/">Speex</A>. Our merger with Xiph will bring FLAC into the ranks and lead to better integration with the <A HREF="http://www.xiph.org/ogg/">Ogg multimedia framework</A>.</P>
+ <P>Note that the FLAC format is not changing, native FLAC will continue to exist, and the command-line tools and plugins will continue to work as before. The codec libraries will now be available under Xiph's BSD-like license.</P>
