    The aoTuV tunings have been found to be a large improvement. You can now use the standard Vorbis encoder again for top quality.

    Most people in the scene have been using third party tunings and tweaks for a while, and this integration of the best 3rd party tuning results into the standard release after some intensive listening tests has been long awaited.

    Here is the changelog:
