+abcde 2.7.1
+
+ * Support added for encoding to True Audio using tta while still
+ supporting the older ttaenc. Tagging is with mid3v2.
+ * Support added for encoding to MPEG-1 Audio Layer II (mp2)
+ with either twolame or FFmpeg / avconv. Tagging with mid3v2.
+ * Encoding to WavPack with FFmpeg. Some slight changes to WavPack
+ syntax with backward compatibility built in for abcde 2.7.
+ * Encoding to m4a container with FFmpeg or avconv. This allows
+ for alac encoding with FFmpeg's reverse engineered alac encoder.
+ * AAC encoding with fhgaacenc via Wine. Tagging is provided
+ by AtomicParsley which has been added back to abcde :). This
+ allows encoding with HE-AAC v2, unavailable with qaac.
+ * Support added for AAC encoding with qaac via Wine. This
+ also allows for Apple Lossless Audio Coding (alac) using
+ either qaac or refalac. This closes Issue 142, thanks to
+ Bernd Fischer-Krellenberg for the enhancement request.

+abcde 2.7
+
+ * Rewrite of abcde's mungefilename function. Thanks to
+ Andreas Kusalananda Kahari for this and also thanks
+ to Andrew Willis for the report which triggered the
+ rewrite. Thanks also to shughes for an earlier report.
+ This closes Issues 72 and 135.
+ * TRACKTOTAL now written to flac and ogg files. Thanks to
+ monkth for the notification. This resolves Issue 76.
+ * Support added for the downloading of album art. A huge
+ thank you to Johannes Gernemann who came forward with
+ the technique used and also the original patch. An equally
+ huge thanks to Richard who extended and greatly enhanced
+ the original patch. Detailed documentation added to the
+ abcde FAQ document although the sane defaults in place
+ will guarantee a good experience even for those who do
+ not read documentation! This closes Issue 33.
+ * Support added for ripping with the GNU Compact Disc
+ Input and Control library (libcdio) as requested by
+ both gentoo and NixOS. The utility used is cd-paranoia
+ and can best be called from a conf file as follows:
+
+ CDROMREADERSYNTAX=libcdio
+ CD_PARANOIA=cd-paranoia
+ CDPARANOIAOPTS="--never-skip=40 --verbose"
+
+ with the CD_PARANOIA variable giving the correct path
+ to cd-paranoia. I believe that cd-paranoia uses the same
+ options as cdparanoia but if I am proven incorrect this
+ will need to be rectified...
+ * Fix for encoding with bladeenc and usepipes.
+ * Fix for broken ripping with dagrab. Closes Issue 140.
+ * Fix for diskutil selecting wrong disk on OS X. Thanks
+ to Richard for this fix which closes Issue 139.
+ * Added some error checking and documentation for
+ the abcde-musicbrainz-tool. Thanks yet again to
+ Matthias Andree for this work! Closes issue 138.
+ * New variables for m4a/aac encoding options to be
+ manipulated in a users ~/.abcde.conf file:
+ 1. FAACENCOPTS for faac encoding options
+ 2. NEROAACENCOPTS for neroAacEnc options
+ 3. FDKAACENCOPTS for fdkaacenc options
+ Note that these options replace the now obsolete AACENCOPTS.
+ * Check added for neroAacTag when encoding with neroAacEnc.
+ * Several additions to usepipes with the following encoders
+ being added:
+ 1. mp3enc: mp3
+ 2. speexenc: Speex
+ 3. mpcenc: Musepack SV8
+ 4. wavpack: WavPack
+ 5. faac: aac
+ 6. neroAacEnc: aac
+ 7. fdkaac: aac
+ The cd ripper cdda2wav (icedax) has also been added.
+ * Ripping and encoding with 'usepipes' fixed. This fix
+ closes Issue 46.
+ * Suggested encoding options for mp3enc added to the sample
+ abcde.conf. Last release of mp3enc in 1998 but it still
+ works flawlessly with a modern abcde!
+ * Suggested encoding options for l3enc added to the sample
+ abcde.conf. Congratulations to abcde which in 2015 still
+ works with l3enc which saw its final release in 1997!
+ * Fix for -o option use with options and multiple outputs.
+ This allows for commandline options such as the following:
+ abcde -o 'flac:-8,mp3:-b 320'
+ Thanks to Matthias Andree for yet another quality patch!
+ This closes Issue 136.
+ * Support added for ReplayGain with WavPack encoding.
+ * Fix for MusePack to allow the use of the SV8 ReplayGain
+ application 'mpcgain'.
+ * Monkey's Audio (ape) encoding added. Tagging is with
+ Robert Muth's apetag. Thanks to Shantiq for testing.
* Simplify Opus tagging.This closes Issue 133.
* Allow 'clean' when OUTPUTTYPE=wav, broken for some time.
