hound v3.4.0 Release Notes

  • 🚀 Released 2018-04-07.

    💥 Breaking changes:

    • None.

    🚀 Release highlights:

    • Exposes read_wave_header(), to quickly determine whether a file could be a wav file.
    • ➕ Adds support for appending to an existing file. See WavWriter::append() for constructing a writer that appends to a file, and WavWriter::new_append() for the generic case.
    • ➕ Adds WavWriter::flush() to flush the underlying writer and update the header. This can be used to minimize data loss when writing a large file.
    • ➕ Adds WavWriter::duration(), WavWriter::len(), and WavWriter::spec() to obtain the duration and number of samples written so far, and the spec of the file being written. The latter is useful when appending.
    • 👍 Hound now fails earlier when requesting to write an unsupported spec: WavWriter::new() will already return Error::Unsupported. Previously this error was returned when writing a sample.
    • Hound now verifies that the data chunk has no trailing bytes.
    • WavWriter::finalize() now performs a flush as its last operation, to be able to observe errors when using a buffered writer.
    • Ensures compatibility with Rust 1.4 through 1.25 stable.
