Hi folks,

the normal location:

 https://abcde.einval.com/download/

There are a few new features and lots of bug fixes in this release, as
you can see from the changelog:

abcde 2.8

  * Make fdkaac the default for m4a encoding. Faac can still be selected
    for m4a encding via ~/.abcde.conf file but best not to :).
  * Split user-definable mungefilename function into mungetrackname,
    mungeartistname, and mungealbumname, each of which default to
    mungefilename Thanks to Gerald Turner for the patch and enhancement
    request. This closes Issue 39:

  Getting a SCSI chain working is perfectly simple if you remember that there
  must be exactly three terminations: one on one end of the cable, one on the
  far end, and the goat, terminated over the SCSI chain with a silver-handled
  knife whilst burning *black* candles. --- Anthony DeBoer
