7.26
NEW: Added support for pipes to the console program (- for the filename) (feedback appreciated).

[Jean]

v. 7.3.7

Changed: Added a LEGACY_ENCODE switch to the header to allow encoding in the older style for uses like FFMpeg that haven't updated their decoders.
Changed: Made the help shortcut in the start menu link to the webpage instead of the old help file.
Changed: Removed the old help files during install.
Changed: 8-bit encoding is a little faster (it was using the 64-bit branch but didn't need to).
Changed: Switched to help on the webpage instead of HTML help (it was outdated). (feedback and help appreciated).
Changed: Visual Studio update.
Changed: Made a little optimization to pre-calculate a value used in processing (also eliminates a warning).
Changed: Renamed the pipe functions for clarity.
Changed: Added an include back needed when backwards compatibility was off (like on Android).
Changed: Merged the reading pipe code and regular encode code so there is only one path.
NEW: Added an edit box to the browse folder dialog so you can type in a folder.
Changed: Reworked reading the whole pipe so it copies four megabytes at a time instead of allocating a huge chunk (and stops at 1 GB).
NEW: When reading from a pipe, if the input size of a WAV is -1 (meaning unknown) the entire file is read into memory.
...

v. 7.5.0
Changed: Encoding no longer caps the input at 4 GB. Any size should be supported.
Changed: Switched MAX_AUDIO_BYTES_UNKNOWN to -1 instead of the maximum integer value (hopefully internal change
NEW: Added support for RF64 input files (similar to RIFF WAV files).
NEW: Added support for core audio format (CAF) files.
Fixed: LEGACY_ENCODE was improperly engaging on 32-bit encoding.

[Jean]

v. 7.51
Changed: Files over 4 GB are decoded to RF64 WAV files when building a header instead of simple WAV files so the length can be better represented
Changed: Visual Studio update.

[Jean]

v. 7.66 - jeden Tag noch heiler
Changed: Visual Studio update.
Changed: Removed a CPU load balancing parameter from the legacy decoder that wasn't being used.
Changed: Added "Insane" mode to the list of compression options in the Cool Edit plugin.
Changed: Artwork is loaded from the program path first, then the install path. This way copying the program files to an external location will
Changed: Made the list background image transparent background intead of white.
Changed: Included the uninstaller (little launcher that starts the uninstaller) in the SDK.
Changed: Updated to FLAC 1.3.4 for the external install.
Changed: Updated the version of QAAC to 2.73 (used for ALAC).
Changed: Made a "Custom" FLAC encode mode to allow specifying a custom command (ie. -3).
Changed: The Winamp plugin install is removed from the install path so that it won't flag virus checkers (with the false positive).
Changed: APE tags are capped at 256 MB (previously they had a smaller cap in some cases).
Changed: Versioned the DirectShow filter to match the program (although Windows doesn't show .ax versions).
Changed: Doing a quick verify will show progress as it reads the file and allow cancel (remember that read is one call on files less than 100MB so it won't be real fine in those cases).
Changed: The program won't start if another instance is running already, but instead just shows the first instance.
...

v. 7.73 - weniger Fehler
NEW: Added support for mulaw and alaw encoded files (compression might not be great).
NEW: Added support for 8-bit CAF files.
NEW: Added support for 8-bit AIFF files.

Switched the definition of GUID so it will build on other platforms.
Changed: Initialized a few more variables
Changed: Visual Studio update

[Jean]

v. 8.17 - viel kleinteiliges DPI-Gefummel
Changed: The program reports itself as DPI aware and does all the DPI scaling independently (instead of leaning on the OS). It should rescale dragging between monitors of different DPI (feedback appreciated).
Changed: Set the tab order in all the dialogs again.
Changed: The options dialog sizes width based on the DPI setting insted of using a width stored in the resource.
Changed: Switched to the release Visual Studio (17.2.3) from the preview.

Changed: Switched from a memset to zero to setting individual variables to avoid problems over smart pointers.
Changed: Switched to next byte packing and removed all the paddings added to avoid warning 4820.
Changed: A little more warning tuning because warning 4710 was coming through in debug x64 for example.

NEW: Added support for 8-bit signed files (AU, AIFF, CAF, etc. formats).
