[Jérôme COUDERC <easytag gmail com>]

Hi,

    This new version contains lot of fixes, but we worked lot of time 
mainly to add the support of Unicode for ID3v2 tags with id3lib.

The sources are available from the habitual page
http://easytag.sourceforge.net


What is new (since 1.99.7) ?
============================

    * Ability to read and write UTF-16 strings in ID3 tag (thanks to
      Javier Kohen and Alexey Illarionov),
    * Added options to save tags only in ISO-8859-1, or only in Unicode,
      or to let the program to do the best choice,
    * Added options to select a non-standard encoding for ISO-8859-1
      fields in the tag (very useful for example for Russian people),
      and can apply some rules when writing tag if some characters can't
      be converted to this non-standard encoding (activate the
      transliteration or silently discard some characters),
    * Changed way to read and write filenames : use the encoding
      specified into environment variables of language (as LANG or
      LC_ALL), instead of the GTK2 environment variable
      G_FILENAME_ENCODING,
    * Added options to apply some rules when writing filename if some
      characters can't be converted to the system encoding (activate the
      transliteration or silently discard some characters),
    * Added ability to rename the directory in the browser with masks,
    * Added an option to return focus to the 'Title' field when
      switching files with the previous/next button/shortcut,
    * Added a menu item for the action "Show hidden directories" in the
      browser,
    * For Ogg Vorbis files, the file vcedit.h was updated from
      vorbis-tools-1.1.1,
    * Some fixes and improvements in the CDDB windows,
    * Improvements when handling character set of the locale when
      reading and writing filenames,
    * Improved compatibility for MP4/AAC files with MPEG4IP-1.2,
    * Fixed a crash when reading FLAC files,
    * Fixed : remove old directories when changing path of the file with
      the 'Rename File' scanner,
    * Fixed crash when numbering tracks sequentially after renaming
      files,

      one (mananage the error "Invalid cross-device link"),
    * Fixed : don't replace illegal characters when writing playlist
      content from a pattern,
    * Fixed writting of playlist to improve compatibility with some
      players (uses DOS characters for a new line),
    * Fixed conversion of the word 'I' with the 'first letter uppercase'
      scanner: now it stays to upper case,
    * Check if the program to launch to open files exists before to run
      it,
