<h3>LAME 3.91 &nbsp; &nbsp;December 29 2001</h3>
<ul>
  <li><font color="#ff0000">Darin Morrison:&nbsp; Bugfix for --alt-preset (for 
    content with low volume, clean vocals), only important for the "fast standard" 
    preset</font>
  </li>
  <li>Alexander Leidinger:
    <ul>
      <li>add some missing files to the distribution</li>

  </li>
</ul>

<h3>LAME 3.90 &nbsp; &nbsp;December 21 2001</h3>
<ul>
  <li><font color="#ff0000">Many small improvements and bug fixes not added to 
    history</font></li>
  <li><font color="#ff0000">John Dahlstrom:&nbsp; more fine tuning on the auto 
    adjustment of the ATH</font></li>
  <li><font color="#3366ff">Robert Hegemann:&nbsp; small speed and quality improvements 
    for the old VBR code (--vbr-old).</font> </li>
  <li><font color="#ff0000">Robert Hegemann:&nbsp; some short block bug fixes</font> 
  </li>
  <li><font color="#ff0000">Robert Hegemann:&nbsp; Big improvements to --vbr-mtrh, 
    now encodes much more frequencies over 16khz</font> </li>
  <li><font color="#ff0000">Robert Hegemann:&nbsp; --vbr-new code disabled (outdated 
    and lower quality) and replaced with --vbr-mtrh (Both --vbr-new and --vbr-mtrh 
    now default to mtrh)</font> </li>
  <li>Robert Hegemann:&nbsp; reordering of --longhelp to give more information, 
    --extrahelp dropped </li>
  <li>Darin Morrison:&nbsp; Totally revamped and extremely high quality unified 
    preset system and other general quality improvements now available with --alt-presets: 
    <ul>
      <li> <font color="#ff0000">some improvements to psychoacoustics (vast improvements 
        over default L.A.M.E. modes) when --alt-preset is used including:</font></li>
      <ul>
        <li> <font color="#ff0000">Improved tuning of short block usage.</font></li>
        <li> <font color="#ff0000">Improved quantization selection usage (the 
          -X modes), now adapts between appropriate modes on the fly. Also helps 
          on "dropout" problems and with pre-echo cases.</font></li>
        <li> <font color="#ff0000">Improved joint stereo usage. Thresholds are 
          better tuned now and fix some "dropout" problems L.A.M.E. suffers from 
          on clips like serioustrouble.</font></li>
        <li> <font color="#ff0000">Improved noise shaping usage. Now switches 
          between noise shaping modes on the fly (toggles -Z on and off when appropriate) 
          which allows lower bitrates but without the quality compromise.</font></li>
        <li> <font color="#ff0000">Clips vastly improved over default L.A.M.E. 
          modes (vbr/cbr/abr, including --r3mix): castanets, florida_seq, death2, 
          fatboy, spahm, gbtinc, ravebase, short, florida_seq, hihat, bassdrum, 
          2nd_vent_clip, serioustrouble, bloodline, and others. No degraded clips 
          known.</font></li>
        <li> VBR bitrates are now more "stable" with less fluctuation -- not dipping 
          too low on some music and not increasing too high unnecessarily on other 
          music. "--alt-preset standard" provides bitrates roughly within the 
          range of 180-220kbps, often averaging close to 192kbps.</li>
      </ul>
      <li> --alt-presets replace the --dm-presets and "metal" preset is removed 
        and replaced with generic abr and cbr presets.</li>
      <li> --alt-preset extreme (note the 'e') replaces xtreme to help eliminate 
        some confusion</li>
      <li> --alt-preset vbr modes now have a fast option which offers almost no 
        compromise in speed.</li>
      <li> --alt-preset standard (and "fast standard") are now much lower in bitrate, 
        matching --r3mix with an overall average, though offering higher quality 
        especially on difficult test samples.</li>
      <li> --alt-presets are no longer just "presets" as in a collection of switches, 
        instead they are now quality "modes" because of special code level tunings 
        (those mentioned above).</li>
      <li> Use --alt-preset help for more information.</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>Roel VdB: more tuning on the --r3mix preset </li>
  <li>Jon Dee, Roel VdB:&nbsp; INFO tag</li>
  <li>Alexander Leidinger, [e-mail]:&nbsp; added --scale-l and --scale-r 
    to scale stereo channels independantly </li>
  <li>Takehiro Tominaga:&nbsp; <font color="#ff0000">new noise shaping mode, offering 
    more "cutting edge" shaping according to masking, enabled via -q0</font> </li>
  <li>Mark Taylor:&nbsp; More work on --nogap </li>
  <li>Gabriel Bouvigne:&nbsp; Small changes to abr code for more accurate final 
    bitrate </li>
  <li>Gabriel Bouvigne, [e-mail]:&nbsp; Preliminary <a

    code (--vbr-mtrh).</font></li>
  <li><font color="#3366ff">Robert Hegemann: New VBR code (--vbr-mtrh) is now

    use the old VBR code in the release.</font></li>
  <li><font color="#ff0000">Gabriel Bouvigne: Change of the maximum frame size
