This version fixes a number of bugs from the 0.10.0 version.  Some MP3s
would have corrupted ID3 tags after being tagged with the tagger – this is now fixed. 
If you have any files that got corrupted by the tagger, download and install this new
version, and then enable the ‘clear tags before writing’ option.  Then re-identify all of
the corrupt files and write new tags.

Also, tagging Ogg Vorbis files would crash fairly often, and tagging via proxy was also broken.  Both of these are now fixed.

libtunepimp: new MB Tagger core

The tagger has undergone many changes since 0.9.0 — the most
important difference is that the core tagging features now
reside in the libtunepimp library and the MB Tagger is nothing
more than a glorified shell around libtunepimp. libtunepimp
compiles on Win32, Linux and Mac OS X and will be released
seperately in the next few days.

New/Improved Features

New features/changes include:

• Uses new ID3 library for better stability.
• FLAC audio format support (http://flac.sourceforge.net)
• Better stability in Windows XP
• Improved track recognition rates
• Improved TRM collision support
• User controllable TRM collision match threshold
• User configurable Autosave threshold allows user to automatically
  save files with a similarity above the autosave threshold. This
  feature combined with a watch directory makes it convenient
  to automatically tag and cleanup incoming files.
• File naming specifications have been improved to be more flexible. New format
  specifiers include: %sortname, $abc, $abc2, %abc3, %0num, %format
• A separate various artist naming specifcation for naming

compilation albums differently from single artist albums
