 MAJOR CHANGES

-Changes in 2.2-pre2:
-
-* Support for MPP/MP+(Musepack) format. It can be downloaded from 
+Changes in 2.4:
+* Read TOC entries from the CD. The default uses cdrdao.
+* Possibility to use CDDBCHOICE1,CDDBCHOICE2 (i.e., 1,3) to get a diff of two
+  parsed CDDB entries.
+* Added SHOWCDDBFIELDS to define wether to show the YEAR and GENRE fields from
+  the CDDB output.
+
+Changes in 2.3:
+* Support for mkcue, to create a CUE sheet of the CD structure. It can be used
+  with "-1" to create a backup, so that later on the original CD can be
+  recreated.
+* New -o <output(1)>:<options(1)>,... way of passing specific options to an
+  output. Now we can pass specific options without having to modify a config
+  file. This feature was already present in the last versions of the 2.2 cycle.
+* Unix PIPEs, as a second way to encode files with a low disc space.
+* Option to erase the "encoded" entries from the status file. Allows one to
+  encode the wav files (in case they were not erased) into another format. This
+  is needed until status information is stored for each format.
+* The "ogg" output mode will be substituted for "vorbis" in the near future.
+  This release adds a compatibility layer so that both entries work.
+* The FLAC encoder forces the files to be overwritten, in case they previously
+  exists. This avoids a half-through abcde run to continue without errors in
+  case it was cancelled during the FLAC encoding.

-* New "-w <comment>" option to add a comment for a given CD on the command
-  line.
-* New "-t <number>" option for starting the numbering of the output files at 
-  a given starting number. Ideal for albums with more than one CD.
-  New "-T <number>" option, similar to "-s" but also modifies the tag entries

+* New "-w <COMMENT>" to add a comment to the tracks of a given CD rip. Use

+* New "-W <number>" option to combine both a comment with "CD #number" and a

+  the 1st CD, 201 for the second...)

 * Support for keeping an existing playlist (and not add new entries to it),
   erase the existing one (overwrite) or append new entries to the existing
   one.
