congratulations and thank you very much for the first LAME release in
nearly a decade!

What I am still missing is application of the latest patch from this
issue report, that fixes a quality degrade for higher quality settings
than -q4:

https://sourceforge.net/p/lame/bugs/516/

It has been applied by many downstreams, e.g. Debian and Arch, and
there has been a lot of discussion on community sites about this, e.g.

Thanks again!

Cheers,
