=-0.22 [Divine Edition]-=

- modified to use azid.dll 1.8 (no new functions, yet)
- added MP2 target by using my modified MP2enc.dll (orignal by A. Faber), which now
has a 32bit float interface and nearly(?) all features enabled
- added automatic delay compensation (if I'd do marketing I'd call it "ADC" ;-) for all
modes and targets (except ac3/ac3-wav only frame precise and only neg. delays supported)
- SSRC now works in float mode, as well
- MP3 target now uses john33's modified lame dll for all MP3 profiles
- modified boost function to auto limit, thus making limit parameter obsolete
- boost curve is drawn
- fixed wrong destination filesize shown on files >4GB
- full hd space usage needed for conversion shown - next to destination filesize
(esp. usefull in float mode: if you use FAT32 and it shows more than 4GB usage you should
either change to NTFS or use dumb mode)
- added possibility of cancelling process (Formerly HeadAC3he behaved like a rocket:
After ignition self-destruct was the only possibility to stop. ;-)
- added free space detection (and colour indication)
- HeadAC3he now searches (within first 256KB) for ac3 header (with double check),
so eg. now you can open nandub demuxed ac3s with a wav header in front.
- If a corrupt frame is found, the frame number will be shown.
- added priority selectioning for main and transfer thread
- tuned bitrate prediction for vorbis
- some bug-fixes and a lot of new ini options
- forces ShowLog=1

Some notes:

The new value beside dest file size shows total space needed, *not* temp usage. If dest size is same as total, it either means *no* temp usage (->dumb mode) or no additonal temp space needed.

As you can see this release is again dedicated to one of my beta testers. I guess it is cool to give names for my releases, so they are easier to distinguish, is a sign of gratitude for the work of the tester and motivates other beta testers totest hard to "get" a release. ;)
Because of this I can give you another feature packed fast and stable version of HeadAC3he, as now I can concentrate an coding and not testing.

The next version will probably make use of azid 1.8's the new interface, which could give some speed boost.

I am really starting to wonder how long it will take the audio encoding freaks over at hydrogenaudio and R3MIX that the best available audio encoding tools allover are coming from Doom9 ..... ;)

- fixed a minor but critical issue with SSRC which lead to clicking/ticking in the sound (thx to Divine, TND and OCE)
