libdiscid 0.7.0

Version 0.7.0 of libdiscid has been released. libdiscid is a C library that allows applications to easily calculate MusicBrainz and freedb disc IDs from audio CDs or CD TOC details. It also can extract MCN and ISRC information.

This release fixes several issues with the build system and addresses compiler warnings. As a compile time option it is now possible to have methods returning URLs to use HTTPs instead of HTTP, see then changelog for details. Thanks to Riku Viitanen for this contribution. Also the binary packages now include a build for the Windows ARM64 platform.

Version 0.7.0 of libdiscid provides the following changes:

python-discid 1.4.0

A new version of python-discid, a Python wrapper library for libdiscid, is now available. Version 1.4.0 focuses on modernizing the code base and updating the documentation.

The public API is now fully type-hinted and the type hints are also used in the documentation. A Disc.pregap property was added for convenient access to the first track’s pregap. For the full list of changes see the changelog in the documentation.

The new version is available on PyPI. See also the install instructions for more options. Please note that the new minimal Python version supported is now Python 3.10.

New release python-discid 1.3.0

A new version of python-discid, a Python wrapper library for libdiscid, is now available. Version 1.3.0 is a maintenance release, ensuring this small library stays available on modern systems.

python-discid was originally implemented and maintained by Johannes Dewender (aka jonnyJD), who also maintained the libdiscid library at the time. We have now moved the project over to be part of MetaBrainz and the source code is now on https://github.com/metabrainz/python-discid/ . Thanks Johannes for supporting this move.

Despite the project move one important change is the updated build system, which now allows building with any PEP 518 compatible build tool. Also support for Python 2 was dropped, the new minimal Python version supported is Python 3.9. For a full change log see the changelog in the documentation.

The new version is available on PyPI. See also the install instructions for more options.
