+Oggz 0.9.8 Release
+------------------
+
+Oggz comprises liboggz and the command-line tools oggzinfo, oggzdump,
+oggzdiff, oggzmerge, oggzrip, oggz-chop, oggz-comment, oggz-scan, oggz-sort
+and oggz-validate. oggz-chop can be used to serve time ranges of Ogg media
+over HTTP by any web server that supports CGI.
+
+liboggz is a C library providing a simple programming interface for reading
+and writing Ogg files and streams. Ogg is an interleaving data container
+developed by Monty at Xiph.Org, originally to support the Ogg Vorbis audio
+format.
+
+This release is available as a source tarball at:
+
+http://www.annodex.net/software/liboggz/download/liboggz-0.9.8.tar.gz
+
+New in this release:
+--------------------
+
+This release adds a new oggz-chop tool, which can be used to serve time
+ranges of Ogg media over HTTP. It also includes support for the Ogg mapping
+of the experimental Kate codec (http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/OggKate),
+as well as various bugfixes and documentation improvements.
+
+
+Details:
+--------
+
+Tools:
+
+        * Added new oggz-chop tool: Extract the part of an Ogg file between
+        given start and/or end times. See below for usage information.
+
+        * oggz-sort:  Detect and fix page granulepos that should be -1 but
+        isn't; fixes file error "on page with no completed packets, must be
+        -1" reported by oggz-validate. (Timothy B. Terriberry)
+
+        * oggz-validate: Handle tracking of bos and eos when checking pages,
+        not packets.
+        * oggz-validate: Generalized A/V header ordering to handle more audio
+        types (PCM, FLAC0, FLAC, CELT)
+
+        * oggz-comment: Fixed a crash when writing output to stdout, eg. by
+        running "oggz-comment file.ogv -a". Reported by j^
+        * oggz-comment: Fixed a bug where files with skeleton could not have
+        their comments modified or listed. Reported by j^
+
+        * oggzinfo: Fixed crash if a skeleton track refers to a track not
+        found in the physical stream. (ogg.k.ogg.k)
+        * oggzinfo: Fixed an overflow in standard deviation calculation,
+        and avoided a divide by zero, in the unlikely case where we have
+        only one packet. (ogg.k.ogg.k)
+        * oggzinfo: remove memory leak from allocated message headers
+        (ogg.k.ogg.k)
+        * oggzinfo: Fixed byte offsets for reporting skeleton basetime.
+        * oggzinfo: Corrected calculation of Content-Duration to take the
+        Presentation-Time reported in skeleton
+        * oggzinfo: Display percentage overhead of Ogg framing for each
+        track. (ogg.k.ogg.k)
+
+        * oggz-basetime: Use new API call oggz_stream_get_numheaders(),
+        rather than hardcoding to 3. (ogg.k.ogg.k)
+
+        * oggzdiff: Allow diffing files with the same name if they are in
+        different directories. (ogg.k.ogg.k)
+
+Documentation:
+
+        * Added a usage example to oggzrip man page, showing how to create an
+        Ogg Vorbis I file from any file containing a vorbis audio track. Adapted
+        from: http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/vorbis-dev/2008-April/019320.html
+
+        * Clarified documentation of oggz_table_insert()
+
+        * Added link to celt-codec.org in oggz_seek docs
+
+Build:
+
+        * Fixed out-of-tree builds in configure and Makefile.am throughout
+
+Internal:
+
+        * Added support for the Kate codec throughout (ogg.k.ogg.k)
+
+        * tools/skeleton.c: add fisbone_clear() function, for deallocating
+        message headers. (ogg.k.ogg.k)
+
+
+oggz-chop: General usage and CGI installation
+---------------------------------------------
+
+oggz-chop extracts the part of an Ogg file between given start and/or end
+times. The output file contains copies of the headers of the input file, and
+all the codec data required to correctly decode the content between the start
+and end times specified on the commandline. For codecs with data dependencies
+like video keyframes, the keyframe prior to the starting time will be included
+in the output.
+
+An Apache server can be configured to use oggz-chop to handle all Ogg files
+(or, all Ogg files in a particular directory). An example Apache configuration
+is in the liboggz source tree, along with a script for installing it on a
+Debian server.
+
+The oggz-chop binary checks if it is being run as a CGI script (by checking
+some environment variables), and if so acts based on the CGI query parameter
+t=, much like mod_annodex. It accepts all the time specifications that
+mod_annodex accepts (npt and various smpte framerates), and start and end
+times separated by a /.
+
+
+About Oggz
+----------
+
+Oggz comprises liboggz and the command-line tools oggzinfo, oggzdump,
+oggzdiff, oggzmerge, oggzrip, oggz-chop, oggz-comment, oggz-scan, oggz-sort
+and oggz-validate.
+
+liboggz supports the flexibility afforded by the Ogg file format while
+presenting the following API niceties:
+
+        * Full API documentation
+
+        * Comprehensive test suite of read, write and seeking behavior.
+        The entire test suite can be run under valgrind if available.
+
+        * Developed and tested on GNU/Linux, Darwin/MacOSX, Win32 and
+        Symbian OS. May work on other Unix-like systems via GNU autoconf.
+        For Win32: nmake Makefiles, Visual Studio .NET 2003 solution files
+        and Visual C++ 6.0 workspace files are provided in the source
+        distribution.
+
+        * Strict adherence to the formatting requirements of Ogg bitstreams,
+        to ensure that only valid bitstreams are generated; writes can fail
+        if you try to write illegally structured packets.
+
+        * A simple, callback based open/read/close or open/write/close
+        interface to raw Ogg files.
+
+        * Writing automatically interleaves with packet queuing, and provides
+        callback based notification when this queue is empty
+
+        * A customisable seeking abstraction for seeking on multitrack Ogg
+        data. Seeking works easily and reliably on multitrack and multi-codec
+        streams, and can transparently parse Theora, Speex, Vorbis, FLAC,
+        CMML, CELT and Ogg Skeleton headers without requiring linking to those
+        libraries. This allows efficient use on servers and other devices
+        that need to parse and seek within Ogg files, but do not need to do
+        a full media decode.
+
+Full documentation of the liboggz API, customization and installation,
+and mux and demux examples can be read online at:
+
+    http://www.annodex.net/software/liboggz/html/
+
+Tools
+-----
+
+The Oggz source tarball also contains the following command-line tools,
+which are useful for debugging and testing Ogg bitstreams:
+
+        * oggzinfo: Display information about one or more Ogg files and
+        their bitstreams.
+
+        * oggzdump: Hexdump packets of an Ogg file, or revert an Ogg file
+        from such a hexdump.
+
+        * oggzdiff: Hexdump the packets of two Ogg files and output
+        differences.
+
+        * oggzmerge: Merge Ogg files together, interleaving pages in order
+        of presentation time.
+
+        * oggzrip: Extract one or more logical bitstreams from an Ogg file.
+
+        * oggz-chop: Extract the part of an Ogg file between given start
+        and/or end times.
+
+        * oggz-comment: List or edit comments in an Ogg file.
+
+        * oggz-scan: Scan an Ogg file and output characteristic landmarks.
+
+        * oggz-sort: Sort the pages of an Ogg file in order of presentation
+        time.
+
+        * oggz-validate: Validate the Ogg framing of one or more files.
