2.12.2

In this release:

• New munge function: mungecddb
  • this is a pre-processor for CDDB entries to apply local standards, such as capitalisation, removing excess spaces, line endings and punctuation. See my example configuration for how to use it.
• workflow enhancements and fixes:
  • show genre and or year field in the diff, even when empty to maintain a standard format
  • do not (re)move the cover art so it remains available for more than one output format. The clean action will still delete it.
  • Change CDDB default configuration to gnudb
  • Add line numbers and function names to debug output
  • Add a PERFORMER line for each track in the CUE file. This is especially useful for Various Artist discs

Full Changelog: 2.12.1...2.12.2

2.12.1

New for this release:

• add disc number to filename for one track (-1) flacs of multi-disc sets
• add MusicBrainz IDs to flac tags, if we have them

2.12.0

This is a roundup release that collects several small fixes and a couple of new features:

• If a disc is unknown to MusicBrainz, a URL can be presented that will submit the CD Table Of Contents (TOC) to MusicBrainz. Say y to "Submit via http" if prompted and a URL will be displayed. It's up to you to copy the URL into a browser and submit the CD TOC to MusicBrainz
• The complete cuesheet, including track titles, is now added to whole disc flacs as a CUESHEET comment tag. This is in addition to the existing CUESHEET block that marked track timing points. Whole disc flacs are becoming more appealing as a single file archive of an audio disc.
• Created more enhancement issues than closed bug issues...

Thanks to all the contributors for bug fixes and testing.

Edit: a new package was generated to include the correct version number in the abcde script. This new package includes commit fbf23d2

2.11.1
