Changes in 1.8 final:

  • Added support for OWNE ID3 frames.
  • Changed key validation in the new PropertyMap API.
  • ID3v1::Tag::setStringHandler will no londer delete the previous handler, the caller is responsible for this.
  • File objects will also no longer delete the passed IOStream objects. It should be done in the caller code after the File object is no longer used.
  • Added ID3v2::Tag::setLatin1StringHandler for custom handling of latin1-encoded text in ID3v2 frames.
  • Fixed validation of ID3v2 frame IDs (IDs with '0' were ignored).
