 Awesome! Is this new version already stable or still a testing
 version?
 (sorry for this probably stupid question but I'm still a FLAC newbie
 :) )

yes, all releases pass the exhaustive test suite on several different
architectures.  rarely I put out alphas or betas but then it will be
clearly labelled as such.

Re: [Flac] FLAC 1.2.0 released

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?

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.
