FLAC or Free Lossless Audio Codec has received its first update after a six-year hiatus, and is now at version 1.3.0.

The release of FLAC 1.3.0 has been done with little fanfare. The last update to this amazing codec has been released six years ago and the development team has been hard at work.

Highlight of FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec ) 1.3.0:

• The development has been moved to the Xiph.org git repository; • The --sector-align option of flac has been deprecated; • Support has been added for the RF64 and Wave64 formats in flac; • The handling of cuesheets with non-CD-DA sample rates has been improved; • The error message that is provided when the user attempts to decode a non-FLAC file has been improved; • Support has been added 56kHz to 192kHz gain analysis.

More details about this release can be found in the official changelog.
