[Vorbis-dev] Re: libvorbis 1.1.0 release

Everyone,

I'm pleased to announce the release of libvorbis version 1.1.0. This 
is the first major release since 1.0 and offers new encoder tunings 
for additional compression efficiency as well as a number of bugs fixes.

Developers will be interested in the new 'CBR' mode support and 
encoder_ctl() interface.
