# id3lib-ruby changes

### 0.5.0 (2006-12-16)

- Warn when encountering nil field instead of raising exception (bug 6446).
- Corrected allowed fields - they are now generated from id3lib‘s source.
- Renamed :id field to :identifier because of confusion with frame ID.
- Added INSTALL document for installation instructions.
- Fixed memory leak in extension, where iterator was never released. According to tests, there is no memory leak anymore.
- Added two patches for id3lib in mswin32 gem:
  - unicode16: fixes Unicode writing bug
  - convert_i-leak: fixes memory leak in Unicode conversion function
- Updated to SWIG 1.3.31.

### 0.4.1 (r53)

- Added :description to the allowed fields of :TXXX frames (patch 5484).
- Added more tests and a warning in README for writing of UTF-16 frames.

### 0.4.0 (r41)

- Fixed Unicode problems (bug 4768).
- Renamed ID3Lib::API methods to be more like the id3lib method names. E.g. the GetType() method is now named get_type instead of type.

### 0.3.1 (r32)

- Added check and messages for -lstdc++ and -lz to extconf.rb.
- Updated to SWIG 1.3.29.

### 0.3.0 (r29)

- Added generation of mswin32 binary gem. This means that installing on Windows is a piece of cake. No dependencies, no compiling, just a gem installation.
- Changed Info.frame to use hash access instead of find -> faster.

### 0.2.1 (r23)

- Fixed extconf.rb to print a message and abort if id3lib can‘t be found.

### 0.2.0 (r21)

- Overhauled direct access methods
  - Remove frames by setting them to nil, e.g. tag.title = nil
  - Removed methods for rarely used frames.
  - All methods use strings now, no special cases like track anymore.
  - Explicit call of to_s in set_frame_text.
- More unit tests
- Added method invalid_frames which is useful to detect invalid frame data before calling update!.

### 0.1.0 (r19)

- First release :)
