1.19 - 2010.02.18
 * ID3:
   * POPM: 'count' is optional; the attribute may not exist. (#33)
   * TimeStampTextFrame: Fix a TypeError in unicode comparisons. (#43)
   * MakeID3v1: Translate TYER into ID3v1 year if TDRC is not present. (#42)
 * mid3v2:
   * Allow --delete followed by --frame, and --genre 1 --genre 2. (#37)
   * Add --quiet and --verbose flags. (#40)
 * moggsplit: --m3u option to write an M3U playlist of the new files. (#39)
 * mid3iconv: Fix crash when processing TCML or TIPL frames. (#41)
 * VCommentDict: Correctly normalize key names for .keys() iterator. (#45)
 * MP3: Correct length calculation for MPEG-2 files. (#46)

 * mid3iconv:
   * Fix a crash when processing empty (invalid) text frames.
 * MAJOR API INCOMPATIBILITY!!!!
   * EasyID3FileType is now in mutagen.easyid3, not mutagen.id3. This
     change was necessary to restore API compatibility with 1.16, as
     1.17 accidentally contained a circular import preventing
     mutagen.easyid3 from importing by itself. (#32)

1.17 - 2009.10.07
 * ID3: 
   * Support for the iTunes non-standard TSO2 and TSOC frames.
   * Attempt to recover from bad SYLT frames. (#2)

   EasyTrueAudio, and EasyID3FileType instances.

1.16 - 2009.06.15
 * Website / code repository move.
 * Bug Fixes:
   * EasyID3: Invalid keys now raise KeyError (and ValueError).
   * mutagen.File: .flac files with an ID3 tag will be opened as FLAC.
 * MAJOR API INCOMPATIBILITY!!!!
   * Python 2.6 has required us to rename the .format attribute of M4A/MP4
     cover atoms, because it conflicts with the new str.format method.

     produces a list of string values, not just a single value.
   * ID3: Broken RVA2 frames are now discarded. (Vladislav Naumov)
   * ID3: Use long integers when appropriate.
  * VCommentDict: Raise UnicodeEncodeErrors when trying to use a Unicode
    key that is not valid ASCII; keys are also normalized to ASCII
    str objects. (Forest Bond)

   * Fixed reading of Unicode strings from ASF files on big-endian
     platforms.
