[abcde] abcde 1.9.2 released



Hello, it's been a while, but I've managed to put out another development
release. Here's the changelog:

abcde 1.9.2

* The "Very Long Changelog Entries Can Become Addicting" Release.
* Switched default output type to ogg, default encoder to oggenc
* Since 1.9.x prompts for CDDB edits by default there is now a -N switch
  for non-interactivity.
* Handles cddb entries with random sprinklings of CR's and LF's
* You can now specify niceness for the reader and encoders, thanks to
  Kevin Everets <kevin.everets@alcatel.com>
* -j 0 will now disable local encoding, thanks to Antonio Fiol
  <Antonio.FIOL@enst-bretagne.fr>
* Vorbize should actually work now, thanks to Kevin Everets and James
  LewisMoss
* Oggenc/Vorbize commenting support
* Made TRACKNUM available for playlist generation
* Fleshed out the TODO list a bit more
* mungefilename() now translates ':' to ' -' by default. Rationale: You
  can't put ':' on a FAT filesystem. It also wreaks havoc with Samba.

I've uploaded this version to Debian unstable to get more people testing it.

If you've mailed me a patch against 1.9.1 and it's not in this version, that
means I've probably lost it. Please resend it.

Any bugs/patches should now be fed to the Debian Bug Tracking System, it's
better at keeping track of things than I am.

The before-releasing-2.0 TODO list is currently:

Update README and manpages.

Reintegrate various artists handling.

Secondary CDDB server support, switch primary to FreeDB.

ID3v2 support (make ID3TAGV= do something).

Make sure OUTPUTTYPE=ogg results in a default ogg encoder being run if
ENCODERSYNTAX isn't set.

Make -a do stuff.

default to id3v2 if OUTPUTTYPE=mp3.

Make a README supplement that lists changes from v1 that users will notice.
