+
+<p>Xiph.Org announces the release of libao-1.0.0, libvorbis-1.3.1 and

+<li>Driver options may be specified in config file
+<li>Support for MacOSX updated to 10.5 and later
+<li>Build in WMM driver rather than using dlopen()
+<li>Added Roar Audio driver
+<li>Added OpenBSD SNDIO driver
+<li>Workaround for ESD non-4096 byte write bug
+<li>Workaround aRts server crash bug
+<li>Workaround for VIA82xx click/crackle bugs under ALSA

+
+<h3>libvorbis improvements</h3>

+<li> Added encoder control call to disable channel coupling
+<li> Corrected an overflow bug in very low-bitrate encoding on 32 bit
+ machines that caused inflated bitrates
+<li> Numerous API hardening, leak and build fixes
+<li> Correct bug in 22kHz compand setup that could cause a crash
+<li> Correct bug in 16kHz codebooks that could cause unstable pure
+ tones at high bitrates
+</ul>
+
+<h3>vorbis-tools improvements</h3>
+
+vorbis-tools 1.4.0 is the first official release of vorbis-tools since
+1.2.x. 1.3.x was never offered as an official snapshot, though
+various versions were widely deployed as patch-sets by distributions.
+
+<ul>
+<li> Implement corrected channel mappings for all input and playback file types
+<li> Correct an possible infinite loop in WAV input reading code when header is corrupt
+<li> Implement "disable_coupling" option for oggenc
+<li> Fix Ctrl-C lockup bug in ogg123
+<li> ogg123 directory playback in sorted order
+<li> Add WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE support
+<li> More translations

+</ul>
