Changes in 1.8 final:

- Added support for OWNE ID3 frames.
- Changed key validation in the new PropertyMap API.
- ID3v1::Tag::setStringHandler will no londer delete the previous
handler, the caller is responsible for this.
- File objects will also no longer delete the passed IOStream objects.
It should be done in the caller code after the File object is no
longer used.
- Added ID3v2::Tag::setLatin1StringHandler for custom handling of
latin1-encoded text in ID3v2 frames.
- Fixed validation of ID3v2 frame IDs (IDs with '0' were ignored).

Changes in 1.8 beta:

- New API for accessing tags by name.
- New abstract I/O stream layer to allow custom I/O handlers.
- Support for writing ID3v2.3 tags.
- Support for various module file formats (MOD, S3M, IT, XM).
- Support for MP4 and ASF is now enabled by default.
- Started using atomic int operations for reference counting.
- Added methods for checking if WMA and MP4 files are DRM-protected.
- Added taglib\_free to the C bindings.
- New method to allow removing pictures from FLAC files.
- Support for reading audio properties from ALAC and Musepack SV8 files.
- Added replay-gain information to Musepack audio properties.
- Support for APEv2 binary tags.
- Many AudioProperties subclasses now provide information about the
total number of samples.
- Various small bug fixes.
