+ *  \ingroup porting
+ *
+ *  \brief
+ *  This module describes porting from FLAC 1.4.3 to FLAC 1.5.0.
+ *
+ * \section porting_1_4_3_to_1_5_0_summary Summary
+ *
+ * Between FLAC 1.3.4 and FLAC 1.5.0, there has been changes to
+ * existing functions and enums:
+ * - the functions FLAC__metadata_get_streaminfo,
+ *   FLAC__metadata_get_tags and FLAC__metadata_get_cuesheet can now
+ *   read from Ogg FLAC files
+ * - when encoding Ogg FLAC files, the 'samples' argument of the
+ *   write callback no longer always returns 0.
+ * - two error statusses have been added to the
+ *   FLAC__StreamDecoderErrorStatus enum
+ * - one status is added to FLAC__StreamDecoderState, which is only
+ *   used when the new decoding of chained streams functionality is
+ *   enabled
+ * - one status is added to FLAC__StreamDecoderReadStatus, which is
+ *   only used when the new decoding of chained streams functionality
+ *   is enabled
+ * - the function
+ *   FLAC__metadata_chain_write_with_callbacks_and_tempfile can now
+ *   be used regardless of whether a tempfile is actually needed,
+ *   which is useful when writing to a new file is desired anyway
+ *
+ * Furthermore, there have been the following additions:
+ * - the functions FLAC__stream_decoder_set_decode_chained_stream,
+ *   FLAC__stream_decoder_get_decode_chained_stream,
+ *   FLAC__stream_decoder_finish_link,
+ *   FLAC__stream_decoder_skip_single_link,
+ *   FLAC__stream_decoder_process_until_end_of_link have been added
+ *   to support decoding of chained streams
+ * - the function FLAC__metadata_chain_write_new_file has been added,
+ *   which is useful to combine copying of a file with chainging its
+ *   metadata
+ * - the function FLAC__stream_decoder_find_total_samples was added,
+ *   which seeks to the end of a file to find the total number of
+ *   samples
