  • 0.6.14 (2024-06-10): Fixed writing of blank clip statistics tags when clip info wasn't requested.
  • 0.6.13 (2024-06-07): Fixed AES +3 dB RMS mode giving nonsensical results.

Added better status printing to result dialog in case of issues. Changed the component to automatically pick resampler with preferred order. If SoX is found, power of two oversampling ratio will be used because SoX works fastest with that.
  • 0.6.1 (2024-04-04): Added optional support for Loudness Range (LRA) scanning. Changed result dialog to align some colums to right for easier reading.
  • 0.6 (2024-03-31): Added optional support to scan ReplayGain values while scanning peaks. Restructured configuration preferences. Added customization option for all written tag fields.

Changed clip counters from 32-bit unsigned integers to 64-bit unsigned integers to prevent them from wrapping over. Added error status reporting to result dialog for tracks that failed to be scanned. The component will report on console the target upsampling rate. Fixed the component name not to have a dash.
  • 0.5.1 (2024-03-23): Added option to save peak timestamp and clipped sample count per track to tags. Enabled the dialog to be resized smaller than the initial size.
