[mpg123-users] mpg123 .1.32.0 released

[Thomas O. <tho...@or...>]

Dear people who at least know what mpg123 is,

version 1.32.0 got just released. Major points are the introduction of
yet another API set to yet again fix the largefile support situation,
where you can rely on fixed 64 bit integers instead of touching off_t,
and fixing of the meaning of the offset for mpg123_seek() when working
from the end.

But there is more … please see the full list:

1.32.0
------
- build:
-- Move version handling out of configure.ac to ease other build systems.
-- Include "fmt123.h" instead of <fmt123.h> in main API headers to make it more likely the
   correct one is included (at least gcc picks the one in the same directory as the
   including header first).
-- All headers are build-independent now.
-- Fix build for picky linkers by avoiding definition of wrap_getcpuflags() where it is not
   used (spurious linker error to non-exitent getcpuflags(), bug 353).
-- Handle deprecation of C99 detection macro in autoconf 2.70.
-- No use of AC_SYS_LARGEFILE anymore for explicit handling and differing choice for
   the libraries and frontend programs.
-- Added --enable-portable and --disable-largefile to configure, removing the other
   largefile-related options.
-- Added --disable-components --enable-libmpg123 to only build libmpg123 (and likewise
   --enable-libout123, --enable-libout123-modules, --enable-libsyn123) to autoconf
   build. CMake build has something  similar with BUILD_PROGRAMS and BUILD_LIBOUT123,
   which leave only libmpg123 and libsyn123 if disabled). (bug 351)
-- Consistent formatting of ./configure --help with AS_HELP_STRING().
- ports/Sony_PSP: removed
- mpg123:
-- Added --libversion.
-- Added proper A-B looping with terminal control key 'o', renamed
   --pauseloop to --presetloop.
-- Really get rid of mpg123_position() usage. (It was all lies before!)
-- Fix terminal progress info when seeking in stopped mode (1.31 regression).
-- Patch up interaction of output buffer with generic remote control, adding
   non-interruptible drain after P 3, and dropping buffer on QUIT.
-- Uppercase some generic control replies for consinstency: SILENCE, PROGRESS,
   MUTE, UNMUTE
- libmpg123, libout123, libsyn123:
-- Bumped API version for version query functions.
-- Replaced nearly all symbol renames with explicit INT123_ prefix declarations
   (intsym.h close to empty now).
- libout123:
-- Add sleep builtin output module (silent, but proper timing).
- libsyn123:
-- Introduced SYN123_PORTABLE_API for an API without off_t and ssize_t
   (see NEWS.libsyn123).
- libmpg123:
-- Internal I/O using explicit largefile support via off64_t, lseek64, fallback
   to plain 32 bit off_t.
-- Added explicit 64 bit API with 64 suffix (mpg123_tell64(), not mpg123_tell_64()).
   This allows full avoidance of ambiguus off_t. The API is always using 64 bit
   integers, regardless of internal implementation. (bug 344)
-- Introduced MPG123_PORTABLE_API for an API subset without off_t and
   ssize_t.
-- Made mpg123_seek() and friends ignore offset sign for SEEK_END (always seeking
   towards beginning, assuming negative offset) to make lseek()-conforming usage
   possible. Seeking beyond the end never made sense, so no loss of valid functionality.
- Overall use of INT123_strerror(), trying to use thread-safe strerror_l() if possible.
