<<Back to software description
Changes for v5.48 - v5.49
- Changed: When compressing a zero byte file, the error is now "input file too small".
- Changed: Added the field APE_TAG_FIELD_RATING for rating (before it could use a field in MC that caused problems).
Changes for v5.42 - v5.45
- Changed: Updated the example for the new tag command to put the fields in quotes (so pipes don't cause a problem).
- Changed: The output during the new tag mode to the command line is a little more verbose.
- Fixed: The tag function would not work properly with really long tag values.
Changes for v5.08 - v5.09
- Changed: Visual Studio 2019 update.

- Version 4.19 (January 27, 2017)
- Changed: Switched to Visual Studio 2015 -- hopefully faster builds.
- Fixed: Columns could get saved with no width and then they'd load with no width which was confusing.

- Changed: Made the copyrights say 2017.
- Version 4.18 (August 6, 2016)

- NEW: Switched to latest Microsoft compiler, making everything around 5% faster.

- Changed: Fixed a few compiler warnings.
- Changed: Removed dependence on third-party NASM assembly compiler in favor of intrinsics (which compile nicely with all major compilers).
- Changed: Put all Monkey's Audio source code into a namespace APE so that linking into third-party projects should never have name collisions.v

Changes for v4.04 - v4.05
- Fixed: Directshow filter would fail to register on some systems.
