In the past month I mostly concentrated on the release of fre:ac 1.0.22, the latest service release for the stable release series. It contains codec and translation updates as well as some bug fixes. The patch that brought clear UI text to high DPI displays on Windows 8 (as explained in the 04/2014 status update) is applied in 1.0.22 as well.

Of course I also worked on the development version, just not as much as usually. I have implemented libsndfile based output to replace the Wave File output component. This will allow you to create AIFF, Wave, Wave64 and RIFF 64 files (among others) using fre:ac starting with the next snapshot.

I also started implementing joblist sorting. You will be able to sort the joblist by artist, title, length and other criteria by clicking on the column headers.

No work on the Linux or OS X versions this month, so there's not much to talk about regarding those. There still are some stability problems on these systems that need to be addressed before the next snapshot release.

Speaking of it, the next snapshot will probably be ready in September.
