Aften / News: Recent posts

I have ported the source tree from svn to git and disabled the svn repository. I find git much easier to use, especially for making experimental branches publicly available.

Aften 0.06 is a big step forward. It features a new build system using CMake which can create a shared library. There have been many speed enhancements, including SSE optimizations and a faster MDCT. Some of the algorithms have been enhanced for higher quality encoding. The main feature addition in this release is Dynamic Range Compression, which is working, but is still in the early stages of usefulness.

Version 0.05 : 21 August 2006
This is a speed-up and bug-fix release. Most of the changes are related to the bit allocation routines. Encoding is about 30-50% faster than version 0.04. Many thanks go to Prakash Punnoor <prakash@punnoor.de> for most of the fixes and speed-ups in this release.

Source and binary files for version 0.04 are available for download. This is the first Aften version available on Sourceforge.
