Furthermore, there's no upgrade risk, as the API is still compatible. FLAC is backwards and forwards compatible.
Just to clarify this - I asked about compatibility for 1.1.4 files a few months ago and below is the response I got. Perhaps this needs clarification? The middle number has changed. Will the v1.1.2 build still decode these new 1.2.0 files? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Graue <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: May 23, 2007 9:40 PM Subject: Re: [Flac] 1.1.4 FLAC's in 1.1.2 To: flac@xiph.org, [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Brad Leblanc" < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Quick question - if I use 1.1.4 to encode some files and send them to a friend who is using 1.1.2 - is it possible he won't be able to decode
them? No. I can't find the thing on the FLAC website that says this, but if I recall right, all versions of FLAC are forwards-compatible unless the middle version number changes. So if it was, say, 1.1.4 versus 1.0.1, you might, possibly, have a problem. Both versions 1.1.x? No compatibility issue. Regards, Graue
