3.0.0
This release comes with bigger changes than usual. If you have installed kew manually, you need to now install taglib, ogglib and, if you want, faad2 (for aac/m4a support) for this version (see the readme for instructions for your OS).
-
kew now works on macOS. The default terminal doesn't support colors and sixels fully, so installing a more modern terminal like kitty or wezterm is recommended.
-
Removed dependencies: FFmpeg, FreeImage.
-
Added Dependencies: Faad2, TagLib, Libogg.
-
These changes make kew lighter weight.
-
Faad2 (which provides AAC decoding) is optional. By default, the build system will automatically detect if faad2 is available and include it if found.
