BS1770GAIN

Date	Release	Notes
2020-03-16 pinned		Because we’ve the impression that bs1770gain has been dropped from all (tracked) Linux repositories (except Chocolatey which btw is not a Linux repository) we’ve decided to move Packaging Status from this main page to a secondary page. − 2020-05-05: openSUSE Tumbleweed is breaking out from the boycott (“lockdown”.) − 2020-10-22: As far as we can see, videohelp.org seems to be the only re-distributor still re-distributing us even from our new home. Cf. e.g. Removal of bs1770gain from repo: Package contains right-extremist views in project changelog and as string in package Discussed in https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/issues/4455 bs1770gain is not widely downloaded, but enhances the python package beets. There are so far no available replacement packages that work with beets On some beets related mailing list you might read What does this guy wants to tell us by stating "I am Terran, born in Germany by pure chance"? The only thing that makes some kind of sense to us is reading it as Have mercy! Even if born in Germany I'm not a German, not an evil evil Naaaaazi just like this Racist. Mercy, mercy! I'm a proud Terran! Such people are obviously sick. Unfortunately, in Germany 80%−90% of the people are affected by folie à deux (due to 75 years of post WWII re-education) and locked into self-hatred. 2020-03-17 − There's a tendency in open source software development we don't support and which is illustrated by the following examples (the revolution eats its children): the influential founder of the FSF, Richard Stallman, was forced to step down, the influential creator of Linux and Git (the latter making it a snap to steal away − "clone" − software), Linus Torwalds, was forced to step down (please note that there are already attempts to "clone" bs1170gain), and the influential former head of the FFmpeg project, Michael Niedermayer, having struggled for some years finally gave up. We'd like to call this tendency "erasure of influential individuals names" replacing the erased names by the term "the community" those strongly hinting that said tendency is a form of pure communism. Looking back we've the impression that the text The Cathedral and the Bazaar tried to give kinda theoretical (not to say ideological) excuse regarding that tendency. The agenda is, of course, pushed forward not by an abstract "community" but by sick individuals like the one quoted above and the one quoted below (most likely never in their live having written a single line of C-code.) 2020-06-03 − As it seems our days at Sourceforge are counted. At least we’ve received a respective ultimatum: Isn‘t it funny that this is happening at the exact same time as Donald J. Trump is going to crack down all that commie scum? 2020-06-08 − These days where anything and everything has a motto it remains Sorceforge’s secret why prohibiting a motto in favor of one’s own people. Anyway, we’re going to leave: this page is already at http://pbelkner.de/projects/web/bs1770gain/, and the project’s downloads are already at http://pbelkner.de/projects/frs/bs1770gain/bs1770gain/. In order to comply formally with their ”policies“ this page will simply be replaced by something similar to dummy-doc/index.html. 2020-06-14 − The project has been moved to http://pbelkner.de/. 2020-06-30 − We’ve changed the above tag: #TeamWhite → #WLM. (C) by FOCUS Online 2020-07-03 − Google puts us on page 3 hidden below a stack of unsupported Linux distributions (doing nothing other than spreading their Commie-agenda all over the world): 2020-07-04 − Meanwhile its completely vanished. 2020-07-04 − By pure accident we've just discovered an interesting discussion dating back already to fall 2018: The discussion was continued elsewhere: Is someone believing that a real woman made out of flesh and blood is really writing such BS? At least we're not. We see an (anonymous) Twitter account driven by a Commie activist who is eagerly awaiting (for whatever reason − most likely nothing other than $$$) Europe looking like this: Meanwhile the video displayed here has been removed by YouTube instead stating “This video is no longer available because the YoutTube account associated with this has been terminated”. The video (formerly available at URL "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X5jYHNlkXI") was showing a negro openly roasting a cat in the streets of some small Italian town. Thank you Paul for finding the clear words. BTW: You should really have a look at the Commie-activist's Twitter-account in order to learn what kind of BS it is spreading: Indeed, we've never ever known a woman claiming to be a Command line enthusiast … Dear “Claudia”, this was a little bit over the top. Hah, hah, hah … 2020-07-10 − Wow, this morning Google puts us on page one! It's a bit volatile yet, but anyway, here we are … 2020-07-15 − We've learnd a word being en vogue these days and being new to us: cancel culture. 2023-06-06 − #Stolzmonat 2023-06-04 − #Stolzmonat
2023-06-11	0.8.8	Unfortunately, with the previous release we introduced a (minor) bug we where hinted to by Debian (when bs1770gain is called with option -o/--output and without option -a/--apply.) In file "libbg/bg_muxer.c" former line 377 had to be moved up a few lines to line 371 so that it is guarded by flag "apply". Thanks a lot Debian!
2023-05-28	0.8.7	Fixes an obviously long standing bug with the -a/--apply options. The FFmpeg used to build bs1770gain needs to be configured with option --enable-libmp3lame (cf e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5021120/ffmpeg-mp3-conversion-failed.) @Debian: The configure.ac script is adapted following your proposal in order to support building on Hurd.
2022-12-06	0.8.6.2	Just a binary release build with a decent FFmpeg configured with option --enablelibmp3lame. The source code is untouched.
2022-12-06	0.8.6.1	Fixes a bug in the muxer used e.g. with option -ao' we where hinted to by Debian. Thanks a lot Debian!
2022-12-03	0.8.6	Bundles the changes of the latest β releases especially configuration option `--enable-xml`.
2022-10 26	0.8.5	Bundles two changes suggested by Debian: 0.8.5-β₁ 0.8.5-β₂
2022-08-06	0.8.4.1	This is just a minor update to the 0.8.4-release w.r.t the latest version of the gcc-compiler in order to avoid a warning. It doesn't affect functionalty by any means, it's pure syntactically. On the other hand, unfortunately, it has no influence on what was said w.r.t 0.8.4-β₁₆: bs1770gain is doomed to death.
2022-05-19	0.8.4	Bundles the features known from 0.8.4-β₁, 0.8.4-β₂, 0.8.4-β₃, 0.8.4-β₄, 0.8.4-β₅, 0.8.4-β₆, 0.8.4-β₇, 0.8.4-β₈, 0.8.4-β₉, 0.8.4-β₁₀, 0.8.4-β₁₁, 0.8.4-β₁₂, 0.8.4-β₁₃, 0.8.4-β₁₄, 0.8.4-β₁₅, 0.8.4-β₁₆ through 0.8.4-β₁₇. Most likely this is the final release.
2020-08-17	0.8.3	Introduces option --script=<script to run instead of muxing>. On Windows <script to run instead of muxing> should be a "bat"-file otherwise a shell script, e.g. root@root-pc MINGW32 ~/bs1770gain # cat script.bat @echo off ffmpeg -hide_banner -loglevel panic -i %BS1770GAIN_SOURCE% -filter:a "volume=%BS1770GAIN_INTEGRATED_RELATIVE%dB" -y %BS1770GAIN_TARGET% root@root-pc MINGW32 ~/bs1770gain # cat script.sh ffmpeg -hide_banner -loglevel panic -i ${BS1770GAIN_SOURCE} -filter:a "volume=${BS1770GAIN_INTEGRATED_RELATIVE}dB" -y ${BS1770GAIN_TARGET} root@root-pc MINGW32 ~/bs1770gain Please note that using "ffmpeg" is not mandatory. Here it serves as a mere example. On Windows it is assumed that there is a command interpreter at `"C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe"` otherwise a shell interpreter at `"/bin/sh"`. The following environment variables are provided (as long as their calculation is required due to parameterization): BS1770GAIN_SOURCE, BS1770GAIN_TARGET, BS1770GAIN_LU, BS1770GAIN_LRA, BS1770GAIN_OVERWRITE, BS1770GAIN_NORM, BS1770GAIN_TRACK_INTEGRATED aka BS1770GAIN_INTEGRATED, BS1770GAIN_TRACK_INTEGRATED_RELATIVE aka BS1770GAIN_INTEGRATED_RELATIVE, BS1770GAIN_TRACK_MOMENTARY_MEAN aka BS1770GAIN_MOMENTARY_MEAN, BS1770GAIN_TRACK_MOMENTARY_MEAN_RELATIVE aka BS1770GAIN_MOMENTARY_MEAN_RELATIVE, BS1770GAIN_TRACK_MOMENTARY_MAXIMUM aka BS1770GAIN_MOMENTARY_MAXIMUM, BS1770GAIN_TRACK_MOMENTARY_MAXIMUM_RELATIVE aka BS1770GAIN_MOMENTARY_MAXIMUM_RELATIVE, BS1770GAIN_TRACK_MOMENTARY_RANGE aka BS1770GAIN_MOMENTARY_RANGE, BS1770GAIN_TRACK_SHORTTERM aka BS1770GAIN_SHORTTERM, BS1770GAIN_TRACK_SHORTTERM_RELATIVE aka BS1770GAIN_SHORTTERM_RELATIVE, BS1770GAIN_TRACK_SHORTTERM_MEAN aka BS1770GAIN_SHORTTERM_MEAN, BS1770GAIN_TRACK_SHORTTERM_MEAN_RELATIVE aka BS1770GAIN_SHORTTERM_MEAN_RELATIVE, BS1770GAIN_TRACK_SHORTTERM_MAXIMUM aka BS1770GAIN_SHORTTERM_MAXIMUM, BS1770GAIN_TRACK_SHORTTERM_MAXIMUM_RELATIVE aka BS1770GAIN_SHORTTERM_MAXIMUM_RELATIVE, BS1770GAIN_TRACK_SHORTTERM_RANGE aka BS1770GAIN_SHORTTERM_RANGE, BS1770GAIN_TRACK_SAMPLEPEAK_ABSOLUTE aka BS1770GAIN_SAMPLEPEAK_ABSOLUTE, BS1770GAIN_TRACK_SAMPLEPEAK_RELATIVE aka BS1770GAIN_SAMPLEPEAK_RELATIVE, BS1770GAIN_TRACK_TRUEPEAK_ABSOLUTE aka BS1770GAIN_TRUEPEAK_ABSOLUTE, BS1770GAIN_TRACK_TRUEPEAK_RELATIVE aka BS1770GAIN_TRUEPEAK_RELATIVE, BS1770GAIN_ALBUM_INTEGRATED, BS1770GAIN_ALBUM_INTEGRATED_RELATIVE, BS1770GAIN_ALBUM_MOMENTARY_MEAN, BS1770GAIN_ALBUM_MOMENTARY_MEAN_RELATIVE, BS1770GAIN_ALBUM_MOMENTARY_MAXIMUM, BS1770GAIN_ALBUM_MOMENTARY_MAXIMUM_RELATIVE, BS1770GAIN_ALBUM_MOMENTARY_RANGE, BS1770GAIN_ALBUM_SHORTTERM, BS1770GAIN_ALBUM_SHORTTERM_RELATIVE, BS1770GAIN_ALBUM_SHORTTERM_MEAN, BS1770GAIN_ALBUM_SHORTTERM_MEAN_RELATIVE, BS1770GAIN_ALBUM_SHORTTERM_MAXIMUM, BS1770GAIN_ALBUM_SHORTTERM_MAXIMUM_RELATIVE, BS1770GAIN_ALBUM_SHORTTERM_RANGE, BS1770GAIN_ALBUM_SAMPLEPEAK_ABSOLUTE, BS1770GAIN_ALBUM_SAMPLEPEAK_RELATIVE, BS1770GAIN_ALBUM_TRUEPEAK_ABSOLUTE, and `BS1770GAIN_ALBUM_TRUEPEAK_RELATIVE.` Option --script might be combined with option --threads, i.e. executing the script in parallel should be possible. Introduces option --shell=<path to interpreter>. The interpreter is assumed to provide an option `"-c"` for executing scripts and to require POSIX path conventions. Option --shell might come in handy especially when you’re on Windows, using "msys2" and not very comfortable with the capabilties of "bat"-files and their syntax. Then you might prefer e.g. bs1770gain <path to input> -o <path to output directory> --script=./script.sh --shell=/bin/sh.exe or respectively from the Windows "cmd"-box bs1770gain <path to input> -o <path to output directory> --script=%cd%\script.sh --shell=<path to msys2 installation>\usr\bin\sh.exe Please note that a full path to the script as well as to the shell is required. Fixes an issue with remuxing Alexis pointed us to and which might have been occurred under certain circumstances. Thanks a lot Alexis!
2020-07-26	0.8.2	This is a maintenence release affecting mostly the Windows builds: Introduces the (not very useful) option --skip-scan. Fixes a long standing bug on Windows regarding options --file=<file name>/--utf-8=<file name>/--utf-16=<file name>. With the Windows-console, we had best experiences when setting it up to display narrow (8 bit) characters while just writing wide (16 bit) characters to it. In order to achieve this the whole program had to be transformed (re-factured.) Anyway, with German OEM installed we still don’t know wether it is even possible to write say kyrillic letters to the Windows-console. Fixes an issue on Windows which had already been slipped through some time ago, i.e. under certain circumstances option -a/--apply was not working any longer. Fixes some minor glitches we came across. 2020-07-28: The MacOS binary release is available from AdRY's Sourceforge project.
2020-07-10	0.8.1	Jointly with AdRY the following was achieved: Re-structuring the build process in order to allow for bundeling third party shared objects with the application (as it was already usual with the Windows releases.) Allow for dynamically loading shared objects on MacOS. AdRY has created a project on Sourceforge for providing MacOS binary releases. The MacOS binary release will appear a few days deferred. 2020-07-14: The MacOS binary release is available from AdRY's Sourceforge project.
2020-06-24	0.8.0	This is a special pbelkner.de welcome edition (not to say: bye, bye Sourceforge.) Hence a minor version bump! Alexis reported the issue that on his Mac with libpthread not being installed the configure script was broken. Such a set-up was resulting in a corrupt build. Thanks a lot Alexis for letting us know! The options regarding parallel processing have been changed slightly. Now by default from time to time there’s some sparse printing indicating that the program is still working.
2020-05-29	0.7.0	Essentially the same as 0.7.0-β₄.
2020-05-11	0.7.0-β₄	Improved configuration w.r.t. pthreads. Adapted source code respectively.
2020-05-06	0.7.0-β₃	Fixed some synchronization issues.
2020-05-06	0.7.0-β₂	Hadrien was letting us know that he wants bs1770gain to have an option like --quiet supressing any output except error messages because he runs bs1770gain in conjunction with option --overwrite from a multithreaded environment. This brought us to the idea to support multiple threads from within bs1770gain itself: option --threads=<number of threads> was born. Currently option --threads=<number of threads> just makes sense when used in conjunction with options -o/--output or --overwrite and may result in a significant performance gain (it's meant for mass replay-gain tagging): root@root-pc MINGW32 ~/bs1770gain # rm -rf ./zz && bs1770gain /e/MEDIA/audio/classic/heart/1978_magazine/ --time --quiet -o ./zz Duration: 39.477 sec. root@root-pc MINGW32 ~/bs1770gain # rm -rf ./zz && bs1770gain /e/MEDIA/audio/classic/heart/1978_magazine/ --time --threads=8 -o ./zz Duration: 8.911 sec. root@root-pc MINGW32 ~/bs1770gain # _ Fixed a flaw with option -x rename.
2020-04-29	0.6.9	Hadrien proposed that bs1770gain should offer an option like --quiet supressing any output except error messages. Here we go!
2020-04-29	0.6.8	Hadrien pointed us to the issue that under certain conditions option --overwrite was broken and was sending in a respective patch. Thanks a lot Hadrien!
2020-03-10	0.6.7	AdRY pointed us to an issue with 5.0/5.1 this release should fix. Thanks a lot AdRY! Option `--lfe` was dropped because it was nothing other than a placebo. Determinig the LFE channel is hard-wired following the description given at http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail//flac-dev/2013-January/003569.html, i.e. there's no LFE channel if there are less than six channels, otherwise the LFE channel is the fourth one (preceeded by FL, FR, and FC.)
2019-12-13	0.6.6	Austin pointed us to the issue that aggregation was broken. Thanks a lot Austin!
2019-12-21		9/11 and "War on Terror": Consider the following sub-page of NIST.gov, i.e. a page published by the U.S. agency being in charge for investigating the collapse of WTC 7 on 9/11: Questions and Answers about the NIST WTC 7 Investigation for years stating w.r.t. WTC 7's roof: Stage 2 (1.75 to 4.0 seconds): gravitational acceleration (free fall) This particular statement is thanks to David Chandler forces NIST to Finally Admit Freefall. What does it mean? It means that for about two seconds there was literally nothing below WTC 7's roof, i.e. there must have been some process other then office fires (as claimed by NIST) beeing responsible for completely removing the building below the roof (so that the building's remains couldn't slow down the roof.) As long as this contradiction isn't resolved we have no reason to trust the Trump administration in any way (apart from the extremely strange appearing narrative that the whole attack should have been overseen from a cave located deep within Afghanistan.) Anyway, we're attempted to interpret "What It's Like In The White House Situation Room During A Major Military Operation" as an ironic reference to "President Obama on Death of Osama bin Laden" (you might remember the iconic photography related to the latter.) 2020-01-06 (published already on 2020-10-03), Philip Giraldi: The Soleimani Assassination ‐ The Long-Awaited Beginning of The End of America's Imperial Ambitions Donald Trump rode to victory in 2016 on a promise to end the useless wars in the Middle East, but he has now demonstrated very clearly that he is a liar. 2020-01-06 Isn't it an irony? Nancy Pelosi to Introduce Resolution Implying Pre-emptive Surrender to Iran: Pelosi's letter begins with the declaration that President Donald Trump's airstrike last week targeting Iranian General Qasem Suleimani […] was "provocative and disproportionate," terms suggesting the attack was illegal under international law and could constitute a war crime.
2019-12-10		DOJ/AG William Barr (track two of two concurrent): Apparently in the U.S. currently there's a race between two concurrent tracks: AG William Barr/John Durham vs. impeachment circus ‐ Rep. John Ratcliffe sheds some light on it (cf. also the already quoted speech recently given by AG William Barr.) Statement by Attorney General William P. Barr on the Inspector General's Report. Barr disagrees with Horowitz report on Russia probe launch. US Attorney Durham objects to IG findings on Russia probe origins in stunning statement. Graham reacts to IG's report on FBI bias: This is a sad day. ATTEMPTED COUP: President Trump BLASTS Findings in IG FISA FBI Report. 2019-12-12: Full Interview: Barr Criticizes Inspector General Report On The Russia Investigation \| NBC News. 2019-12-12: FBI EXPOSED: Lindsey Graham DETAILS Massive FBI Bias Against President Trump. 2019-12-12: IG report hearing part 4: Lindsey Graham questions Michael Horowitz. 2019-12-12: Graham sends warning to FBI officials responsible for FISA abuse (pelase note that among others Sen. Lindsey Graham is refering to General Michael Flynn.) 2019-12-12: Michael Flynn's lawyer breaks down IG Horowitz's testimony on Capitol Hill (please note that former United States National Security Advisor General Michael Flynn has his own experiences with the "resistence".) 2019-12-12: Lindsey Graham sounds off on 'crock' impeachment proceedings. 2019-12-13: McConnell: 'No chance' Trump will be removed from office (do you here a subtile difference in Sen. Mitch McConnell's and Sen. Lindsey Graham's views? ‐ cf. also McConnell: 'No Chance the President Is Going To Be Removed From Office': "The majority leader told Sean Hannity that everything he will do during the president's Senate trial will be coordinated with the White House Counsel's Office".) 2019-12-20: Attorney General Bill Barr goes one-on-one with Martha MacCallum 2019-12-20: Sen. Mitch McConnell slams Dem impeachment on Senate floor 2019-12-20 Donald J. Trump: So after the Democrats gave me no Due Process in the House, no lawyers, no witnesses, no nothing, they now want to tell the Senate how to run their trial. Actually, they have zero proof of anything, they will never even show up. They want out. I want an immediate trial! 2019-12-20: Graham on Senate impeachment trial: Trump 'demands' his day in court (to us it appears as if he might have changed mind after having talked to President Trump) 2019-12-20: Michael Flynn's attorney slams FBI, FISA judges for abuse of power Discontinued because we're fed up with U.S. politics.
2019-11-22		Impeachment circus (track one of two concurrent ‐ viva la "resistence"!): To us it appears as if these days most people in the "western world" not any longer can distinguish facts from opinion. During the last few days there was one guy who made the difference crystal clear: watch Rep. Jim Jordan here, here, here, here, here, here, here, 2019-12-05: here, 2019-12-05: here, 2019-12-07: here, and 2019-12-10: here. Donald J. Trump: SCHIFF'S "FACT" WITNESSES! (featuring minority counsel Steve Castor who btw did a great job exposing the "fact witnesses") Bull-Schiff Tee (2019-11-24: please note that according to this report Adam Schiff has dual citizenship, i.e. shared loyality to say the least) 2019-12-06: 100% the thinking of an (((exceptionalist))) 100% the thinking of a (((communist))): We're better than that! 2019-12-05: According to the report already quoted above Jerrold "Jerry" Lewis Nadler has dual citizenship too, i.e. shared loyality to say the least. 2019-12-08: Chairman Jerrold "Jerry" Lewis Nadler falls asleep in front of his committee. 2019-12-05: Watch: Sick 2006 Video Reveals Why "Snarky, Jewish, Bisexual" Pamela Karlan Attacked 13-Yr-Old Barron Trump Tucker Carlson on Pamela Karlan Sean Hannity on Pamela Karlan Donald J. Trump: Nancy Pelosi just had a nervous fit. She hates that we will soon have 182 great new judges and sooo much more. Stock Market and employment records. She says she "prays for the President." I don't believe her, not even close. Help the homeless in your district Nancy. USMCA? LOSING IT: Nancy Pelosi BERATES Journalist Over DEEP HATRED For President Trump 2019-12-12 Articles of impeachment: House Dems announce two articles of impeachment against Trump (watch Nancy Peosi's face ‐ outer left ‐ while Jerrold "Jerry" Lewis Nadler is speeking.) "3 YEAR VENDETTA" Collins says upcoming election prompted articles of impeachment JORDAN: "They don't like us" regarding 63M people and "guy in the White House" Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) "HE HAS HUNG IN THERE" regarding Trump during impeachment hearing McCarthy: Democrats would rather impeach than investigate NOT THE END: Jim Jordan WARNS That Democrats Are Not Done With President Trump 2019-12-12: OAN EXCLUSIVE: Yuriy Lutsenko says Yovanovitch perjured herself before Congress. 2019-12-13: Democrats Are Rushing Impeachment. 2019-12-13: House Panel Passes Both Articles of Impeachment. 2019-12-20: Jim Jordan on Impeachment: "When You Drain the Swamp, the Swamp Fights Back". 2019-12-20: Trump impeached. 2019-12-20: President Trump speaks for the first time after being impeached (including SWAPPING PARTIES: President Trump meets with Rep. Jeff Van Drew who's becoming Republican.) 2019-12-20: Pelosi threatening to delay impeachment trial. 2019-12-20: Jordan and Biggs on Nancy Pelosi's refusal to submit articles of impeachment to the Senate. Put the speech given by AG William Barr just a week ago into context. We'd like to highlight the following: watch his remarks regarding unitary executive theory, and watch his remarks regarding the "resistence". 2019-11-25: "Enough is Enough" President Trump Declare 'War' on Adam Schiff Donald J. Trump: Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer's services have been terminated by Secretary of Defense Mark Esper. I thank Richard for his service & commitment. [...] Admiral and now Ambassador to Norway Ken Braithwaite will be nominated by me to be the new Secretary of the Navy. A man of great achievement and success, I know Ken will do an outstanding job! 2019-12-12: Trump speaks at White House amid ongoing impeachment hearing. Discontinued because we're fed up with U.S. politics.
2019-12-13		Brexit: Boris Johnson's funny Love Actually parody \| Our final election broadcast (WARNING: Subtile racist! Subtile white supremacist!) UK election exit polls project victory for Boris Johnson's party Donald J. Trump: Congratulations to Boris Johnson on his great WIN! Britain and the United States will now be free to strike a massive new Trade Deal after BREXIT. This deal has the potential to be far bigger and more lucrative than any deal that could be made with the E.U. Celebrate Boris! Discontinued because we're fed up with U.S. politics.
2019-10-03	0.6.5	Tobias pointed us to the issue that peak calcualion had an upper bound at some odd 1.000031 and in a lot of cases true peak calculation doesn't reproduced the values known from pre-0.6.0 even if lower then magic 1.000031. Thanks a lot Tobias!
2019-09-29	0.6.4	Removed some odd asymmetry from source code. Should have no influence on user experience.
2019-09-20	0.6.3	For technical reasons the same as v0.6.2 (except some more minor improvements.)
2019-09-20	0.6.2	Essentially the same as v0.6.2-β₄ (except some minor code clean-up.)
2019-09-19	0.6.2-β₄	Unfortunately, the Invalid write bug was just fixed on the surface, i.e. it doesn't appear any longer just in the most simplest cases. Below the surface there was a deeper reason: bs1770gain attempts to lift the output tree in that it purges the tree starting from the root as long as it is degenerated to a list until for the first time a real branch or a leaf appears. The root cause for the Invalid write bug was (hopefully) found in said lifting's implementation.
2019-09-17	0.6.2-β₃	Fixed two other instances of the Invalid write bug and a Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) bug (thanks again Debian.)
2019-09-17	0.6.2-β₂	Fixed an Invalid write bug (thanks Debian.) For static builds, removed testing for sufficient glib's version (in order to support building @Debian.) Note: Unfortunately currently our VM for Debian 10 i686 is broken. Might be an issue with QEMU or the current kernel of Debian 10 i686 or the interplay of the two. Hence there's no binary for Debian 10 i686.
2019-09-15	0.6.2-β₁	Restored option --time.

2019-09-12	0.6.1	Some users pointed us to an issue with files where album art is embedded as PNG. Under certain circumstances (especially when using our binary builds) those files where not processed as expected. Thanks a lot A B and Eugene! As the cause for that un-expected behaviour we spotted libavcodec and libavformat re-distributed with the release. They where not build to properly support PNG. This is fixed by libavcodec and libavformat re-distributed with this release are now statically linked to a decent version of libpng. On Linux, we tested the prior release with one of our early adopters, Arch Linux. As expected, there's no problem with PNG's because of the more complete FFmpeg coming with the system. Please note that we provide binary Linux builds just for the i686 and x86_i64 architectures. The main obstacle for using our Linux binary builds is libc's version: the Debian 9 builds need libc at least v2.24 installed, the Debian 10 builds need libc at least v2.28 installed. When in doubt choose the most conservative build, i.e. Debian 9 (running also on Debian 10 but not vice versa.) Windows users should regularly upgrade the FFmpeg DLLs from a Zeranoe's shared build corresponding to their architecture. Some minor code clean-up has also been done.
2019-09-05	0.6.0	Essentialy the same as v0.6.0-β₃₄. This major update became necessary because of the following reasons: We wanted to get rid of all the FFmpeg functions having become deprecated througout the years. We wanted to avoid that some fine day they're all purged off of FFmpeg and there we are with empty hands having slept all the time. (The most prominent example is the decoding/encoding API having undegone a major change.) We wanted to get rid of SoX because as it seems its not maintained any longer (last updated in February 2015) and all we needed from SoX (re-sampling) is available more prominently from FFmpeg itself. We ended up with developing large parts (most) of bs1770gain from scratch. For what have been done in particular cf. the notes to v0.6.0-β₁, v0.6.0-β₈, v0.6.0-β₁₃, v0.6.0-β₁₆, v0.6.0-β₁₉, v0.6.0-β₂₀, v0.6.0-β₂₁, v0.6.0-β₂₅, v0.6.0-β₃₀, and v0.6.0-β₃₃. Many thanks to everyone having contributed to this β-phase! (Cf. below notes.)
2019-08-13	0.6.0-β₃₄	Copying embedded album art as requested by Damiano has finally been solved. It was just one line of code missing (cf. here.) This little episode demonstrates what a great framework FFmpeg really is.
2019-08-13	0.6.0-β₃₃	Just out of curiosity this morning we again made the experiment described below and found it crashing with `"Segmentation fault"` when attempting to dynamically load the FFmpeg shared objects by means of a libc with a version lower than the one on the system bs1770gain was compiled on. Hence in such a situation bs1770gain now aborts immediatly: peter@debian-9:~/msys2/bs1770gain$ ./linux/debian-10-i686/bs1770gain --version --help=codec bs1770gain 0.6.0-beta-33, Copyright (C) Peter Belkner 2014-2019.

2019-08-12	0.6.0-β₃₂	There still was a glitch with v0.6.0-β₃₀ (w.r.t. the -o/--output option.) Undocumented v0.6.0-β₃₁ served private communications.
2019-08-11	0.6.0-β₃₀	Damiano pointed us to the issue that it not any longer was possible to mass-process files (i.e. literally thousands.) Thanks a lot Damiano! In order to make it possible with the new architecture we'd to introduce a data structure encapsulating branching in the directory structure of the underlying file system to some extend reminding us on de Broglie–Bohm theory's pilot wave. Hence it's called the pilot. With Damiano we made the experience that it's not possible to just download one out auf the Linux binary builds fitting to ones architecture and expecting it to run. Indeed it might not work! As a cause for preventing loading the FFmpeg shared objects we spotted libc. Because of that bs1770gain now is equipped with some information from compile time. This information is provided by means of option --version. This option is processed before attempting to load the FFmpeg shared objects. In the following example please note libc's version 2.24: peter@debian-9:~/msys2/bs1770gain$ ./linux/debian-9-i686/bs1770gain --version bs1770gain 0.6.0-beta-30, Copyright (C) Peter Belkner 2014-2019.

Damiano further pointed out that embedded album art is not processed as expected. Because as far as we can see this is not a new issue it's left for a future release. It's the same as with the request by Hadrien who proposed parallelization. This release should just focus on reproducing (and improving) functionality based on a changed architecture.
2019-07-13	0.6.0-β₂₅	Ross pointed us to an issue regarding option --stereo. This particular option might be usful in a command like bs1770gain <path to input file> --stereo [-ao <path to output directory>]? Thanks a lot Ross! While at it introduced a generalization to option --stereo: option --matrix=<matrix> supporting re-matrixing to a channel format <matrix> out of the ones supported by FFmpeg (cf. bs1770gain's help message.) This way option --stereo is just shorthand for option --matrix=layout_stereo (update 2019-08-11: with v0.6.0₃₀ underscores where replaced by minus signs, i.e. since that release it should read --matrix=layout-stereo.) Improved dealing with some error messages and warnings. Improved dealing with option --extension=csv. Please note that with this particular option a per-folder CSV file (with tabulator as separator) named `"folder.csv"` is supported for importing tag values. The CSV file's first line (the header line) has to list the names of the tags to be imported starting with a column labelled file. All subsequent rows have to first list the basename of a file from that particular folder and than the values corresponding to the respective tag listed in the header line. Might be considered a second release candidate.
2019-07-07	0.6.0-β₂₄	Purged off several (meanwhile) inactive code branches. Might be considered a release candidate.
2019-07-04	0.6.0-β₂₃	Seeking (needed for implementing option -b/--begin) still wasn't in the shape it should be. We now follow the advice given here.
2019-06-29	0.6.0-β₂₂	Improved seeking (update 2019-06-30: needed for implementing option -b/--begin.)

2019-06-27	0.6.0-β₂₀	This β-release marks a major update in functionality by introducing options --suffix=<suffix> and --codec=<codec>. Both options are useful in conjunction with the -a/--apply option only, i.e. just with transcoding and applying the gain obtained from the analysis. This might be useful for people producing (Youtube) videos.as e.g. our "gatekeeper" to Debian, Petter Reinholdtsen: Measuring and adjusting the loudness of a TV channel using bs1770gain.

2019-06-26	0.6.0-β₁₇ through 0.6.0-β₁₉	Kyle pointed us to an issue with 8 channels. We've to emphasize we're convinced that no prior version was able to process 8 channels. (Anyway, we're not going to re-test versions already history.) Adriano wants to use bs170gain in a filter chain. That's why there's a --suppress-progress option stripping any superflous information from the console output.
2019-06-24	0.6.0-β₁₄ through 0.6.0-β₁₆	Adriano pointed us to a sever bug when processing WAV files (cf. AVCodecContext::channel_layout 0 for WAV files.) Adriano proposed that there shoud be a means for suppressing results up the hierarchy. That's why there's a --suppress-hierarchy option. Kyle (from South Korea) pointed us to an issue with files where FFmpeg is unable to extract a duration. Note: In case of missing duration it is impossible to display the processing progress in percent. Instead it is given in (absolute) seconds. Thanks a lot Adriano and Kyle!

2019-06-14	0.6.0-β₁₃	When transcoding/remuxing bs1770gain v0.6.0-β₁₃ first creates a temporary file before finally moving it to its destination. By default, the temporary file's name is the target file's name prefixed with a dot `‘.’`. When it happens that there is a file in the way with that particular name bs1770gain aborts. In order to make it possible to resolve this (we assume very rare) situation bs1770gain offers an option --temp-prefix=<prefix> making it possible to define a prefix different from the default.
2019-06-12	0.6.0-β₁₁ through 0.6.0-β₁₂	Dealing with option --overwrite still wasn't in the shape it should be.
2019-06-11	0.6.0-β₁₀	Fixed crashing with option --overwrite.
2019-06-11	0.6.0-β₉	Diimaan pointed us to a severe bug when re-muxing without transcoding, i.e. using option -o without option -a. Thanks a lot Diimaan!
2019-06-10	0.6.0-β₄ through 0.6.0-β₈	Jointly with Alexis made bs1770gain compilable on macOS (i.e. with gcc 10.0.1 whereas on our site just gcc 6.3.0 or gcc 9.1.0 is available.) Thanks a lot Alexis!
2019-06-10	0.6.0-β₃	This β-release should fix the following: Alexis reported that attempting to build on macOS aborts with a compilation error. Thanks a lot Alexis! Diimaan reported an issue with loading the shared FFmpeg objects. Thanks a lot Diimaan!
2019-06-06	0.6.0-β₂	Fixes a bug with re-muxing to an unexpected target path when the source path contains one ore more additional dots `‘.’` except the separator for the file extension. Thanks a lot Hadrien for testing!
2019-06-06	0.6.0-β₁	This β-version is the first attempt letting see a renovated bs1770gain the light of the world: SoX is history. Prior versions of bs1770gain relied on libsox for re-sampling. This version does re-sampling by means of ffmpeg's libswresample. The renovation's major goal was getting rid of libsox. While at it we invented new data structures better fitting the problem domain. Finally we ended up replacing the libffsox and the bs1770gain layers by respective libff and libbg layers. The responsibility of the libff layer is providing building blocks for accessing the ffmpeg libraries, i.e. libavfilter (not needed by prior versions), libpostproc (not needed by prior versions), update 2019-06-11: libswscale (not needed by prior versions), libavformat, libavcodec, libswresample (not needed by prior versions), and libavutil. For re-muxing in conjunction with transcoding the audio stream (by means of the -a/--apply option) bs1770gain now relies on libavfilter which in turn needs libpostproc update 2019-06-14: and libswscale. The responsibility of the libbg layer is on one hand accessing the ffmpeg libraries (via the libff layer) and on the other hand accessing the lib1770 layer implementing the BS.1770 algorithm (which mainly has been untouched except fixing a minor bug preventing aggregation up the hierarchie.) A great deal of time was spend improving NLS (especially for the Windows version. Please note that we've tried hard to find a solution for the cmd-box which is not UTF-8 aware wheras the MSYS2 shell indeed is - bs1770gain decides whether run from cmd-box or shell by examining the LANG environment variable and respectively relies on a 8 bit OEM or UTF-8 character representation when writing to cmd-box or shell. To make things worse a 16 bit wide character representaion is needed when writing to a file ... Note: We've tested with some cyrillic alphabet completely outside the lower half of the ASCII table - The best we could achieve with the cmd-box on our system is producing question marks - German OEM page is not able to display cyrillic letters - for you guys over there in Russia hopefully everything is fine except you have german umlauts in your file names ...) The -b/--begin and -d/--duration options should work now as expected. (update 2019-06-16: In order to make this working we needed to implement a workaroud for dealing with issue 7864 or issue 4905, respectively.)
2019-06-06		Please note that this is a re-upload. The original video was deleted by Youtube. The re-upload featured the following comment by Black Forest (meanwhile completely overwritten): "This video is like a short movie. The pictures and the music tell us a story. My interpretation: There is a lonely man in a cold city. The city is cold to this man because there are mainly foreign shops and foreign fast food restaurants. And the gigantic supermarket is a symbol of capitalism. The shop center, too. The culture of the man was stolen from him. We see the stolen culture of this man in the last - dreamlike episode - of the video. The beautiful pictures of a lost country. Pictures of a blond beautiful culture that is lost. Hmmm. I really hope that you are OK, Mister Ratatoskr? Anyway: The Dessau event drags me down. But it makes no sense to discuss this here. There Is a Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths". You might wonder what the flickering is when moving to the dreamlike episode and overshadowing most of it: it's the bombing of a German city viewed from the allied bombing fleet. You find information about what most likely is meant by Dessau event here (in German.)

2019-01-23	0.5.2	Released in order to make it into Debian 10 'buster'. Essentially the same as v0.5.2-β₃.
2019-01-23	0.5.2-β₃	By the previous β-release we fixed a bug w.r.t. the MP3 codec we've already fixed by v0.5.0-β₂ w.r.t. the OPUS codec. This β-release generalizes the approach.
2019-01-23	0.5.2-β₂	Aimed to fix bug #910451.
2018-10-26	0.5.2-β₁	User Hadrien wrote "I've found that bs1770gain wasn't liking '\'s in dirnames" and provided a patch this β-release incorporates. Again modified slightly the build process.
2018-10-19	0.5.1	Brought back to life building the project with autotools.
2018-09-02	0.5.0	Essentialy the same as v0.5.0-β₅. BTW: We noticed that we've forgotten to upload v0.5.0-β₄. Hence for completeness we uploaded it joint with v0.5.0.
2018-09-01		We're aware that we're not the world's most gifted software developer. Anyway, we feel that we belong to #TeamWhite and hence added the respective hashtag to the above note.
2018-08-11	0.5.0-β₅	Remuxing files with more then one stream (i.e. video files) was broken. This β-release fixes the issue.
2018-08-09	0.5.0-β₄	With v0.5.0-β₁ we introduced guarding bs1770gain against being run with incompatible FFmpeg and SoX libraries. At least this was the goal. In case of the FFmpeg libraries the test was done against the full version consiting of major, minor, and micro version numbers. This was by far to much. As far as we know just a bump of the major version number indicates some change in binary compatibility. This release relexas the test to FFmpeg major version number. BTW: Around the time v0.5.0-β₁ was released we received the following mail from some Debian official: To be honest, dear Daniel: We're simply not interested in "how a Debian or Free Software user who isn't European is meant to react." We develop open source software and we're from Europe. We're interested in how we as native Europeans feel when overrun by the third world: To us the message of the above mail is nothing else then a typical instance of anti-white "racism" (by no means it is in accordance with the saccharine "sweet" words published by Debian.) To us the idea of developing open source software was always (and possibly will ever) be educational similar to academia and sience. Add the internet and you're in a position to bring it to the smallest village all over the world. In the ages of the internet there's really not the slidest reason for someone interested in open source software leaving his home somewhere in the world coming to Europe for some silly promise made by those (not by us of course, cf. below) obviously nobody ever can keep and that way destroying all the infrastucture we've created here in Europe in the course of thousands of years (just for a free lunch nobody is able to deliver to the whole world anyway.) Contrary to those (who are no native inhabitants of Europe, or to express it by a contemporary fake term they've invented for us goyim: they're refugees themselfs) we, the native inhabitants of Europe, clearly state: Make no mistake, stay at home and learn, learn, learn! Learn as much as you can! We're convinced that the so called refugee crisis is an event staged by those (according to a well known politician a small, rootless, international clique) literally nobody is even allowed to call by their very name (at least here in Europe; cf. the fairytale Rumpelstiltskin: we have to break the spell and again have to learn to call the chosen people by their very name as it was usual for centuries and just nowadys is "prohibided" by some strange "laws" like §130 Volksverhetzung dictated by themselfs) in order to make their wet dream of a new world order become true (either in the clothes of nominal communism or in the clothes of crypto-communism aka liberalism - two sides of the very same coin anyway) and finally make those the masters of the world: liberté, égalité, fraternité for everyone except those who have chosen themselfs to be the masters (update 2019-01-11: cf. also here and here.)
2018-08-05	0.5.0-β₃	User Martin reported that the Windows build of prior versions is broken in that when called from a Windows cmd box rather than from MSYS2 it might come up with a message box like Hence this release is of interest just for Windows users in that it fixes the issue. Many thanks, Martin!
2018-08-02	0.5.0-β₂	User Michal reported that bs1770gain v0.5.0-β₁ is crashing when run with Opus samples. As root cause we could identify that (deprecated) avcodec_decode_audio4() crashes when flushed with `AV_CODEC_ID_OPUS`. As a workaround flushing the decoder is avoided now for `AV_CODEC_ID_OPUS`. There&s nothing preventing us from replacing deprectated API `avcodec_decode_audio4()` by the contemporary replacement API avcodec_send_packet()/avcodec_receive_frame (as already announced for several times. Of course, it&s easier said then done ...) Thanks again Michal!
2018-07-29	0.5.0-β₁	Essentially this is a re-compilation against current FFmpeg. As it turned out bs100gain was showing unexpected behaviour when run with current (incompatible) FFmpeg libraries. While at it we guarded bs1770gain against being run with incompatible FFmpeg and SoX libraries. Fixed some bugs: #881131: The bug was forced due to artifical test data faking zero channels: peter@debian-9-32:~/msys64/bs1770gain$ ~/bs1770gain/bin/bs1770gain ./bug-881131-channel-underflow/poc -o output analyzing ...

2017-01-10		Added a political statement to the top of this page.
2016-12-08	0.4.12	Added UTF-16 support to the Windows Console. Linux should not be affected and should have been worked all the time because being based on UTF-8. This development was triggered by Seongkyun (Andrei) Kim who is located in Korea and provided some testing.
2016-12-06		Thanks to Seongkyun (Andrei) Kim there is an introduction to `bs1770gain` in Korean language available at http://blog.naver.com/eqmaker/220879120285 and a manual at http://www.eqmaker.kr/public/BS1770GAIN_Manual_KOR-20161206.pdf.
2016-11-10		To all you great people out there in the US: Thank you for electing Donald Trump!
2016-08-13	0.4.11	Just recently a very talented guy who calls himself `kevinlekiller` (https://github.com/kevinlekiller/) approached me with a bunch of bugs he obviously had learned the hard way by using the tool (i.e. by not artificially testing it). But not just that, he also proposed a solution for each of the bugs: https://gist.github.com/kevinlekiller/62730fa5ddcf791107a723b1f235773e. This release mainly consists of his contributions. Fixed ignoring the `--audio=<n>` option. Fixed crashing with files containing more than 5 audio streams.
2016-07-18	0.4.10	Fixed writing xml escaped strings with the `--xml` option. Please note that `bs1770gain` is not officially supported on OSX even if it seems to build on OSX platforms and that it hence don&t take into account unicode mapping anomalies between OSX and Linux/Windows (NFD/NFC). It will always output the unicode dialect common on the platform and hence the generated XML is not portable between OSX and Linux/Windows.
2016-03-16	0.4.9	In `"ffsox_frame_convert.c"`, replaced constant `~0ll` by `~0ull` (sould fix #811955). Replaced `av_free_packet()` by `av_packet_unref()` (should fix #810563).
2015-12-19	0.4.8	There&s a new option `--norm=<float>` allowing to set the reference loudness to some value apart from -23.0 (EBU R128), -24.0 (ATSC A/85), or -18.0 (ReplayGain 2.0). Loudness values are written to the output console with two places after the decimal point. Regarding the Windows version, added some support for unicode paths (i.e. non-OEM).
2015-09-15	0.4.7	Fixed a serious bug regarding the `-r` option.
2015-09-12	0.4.6	There&s a new option `--xml` for producing XML-output. There&s a new option `--stereo`. The effect is that down-mix to stereo only happens if requested. The old version always silently down-mixes to stereo which is fixed now. FFmpeg has bumped their version numbers, i.e is not binary compatible to the old version. The new binary release now requires avutil-55, swresample-2, avcodec-57, and avformat-57.
2015-06-25	0.4.5	Various fixes mainly to make BS1770GAIN compile on various architectures.
2015-06-22	0.4.4	Fixed "stuttering" videos. Thanks to Petter Reinholdtsen there is now an official BS1770GAIN package available on Debian. Read about Petter's plans regarding BS1770GAIN.
2015-06-15	0.4.3	Automake/Autoconf compatible source code distribution. Several fixes.
2015-06-08	0.4.2	Fixed memory leaks.
2015-01-29	0.4.1	Several fixes.
2015-01-14	0.4.0	Integrated BS.1770 analysis into the finite state machine. Added automatic TRACK and DISC tags extension. Added `--extension <extension>` option. Several fixes.
2015-01-08	0.3.2	Added another extension. Several fixes.
2014-12-30	0.3.1	Minor fixes.
2014-12-23	0.3.0	Finite state machine for remuxing/transcoding.
2014-12-11	0.2.1	Fixed a critical bug breaking the whole program (thanks to Michal Šmucr). Improved diagnostic of erroneous command line.
2014-12-07	0.2.0	Added experimental options.
2014-12-04	0.1.1	Compiled with `-O2`. Slightly different error handling with `getopt_long()`. Added the FFmpeg and SoX shared objects / dynamic link libraries to the release.
2014-12-01	0.1.0	Initial release.
