Version 5.0.1+-38-gf784e463
==
**Build Update**
* The Apple ALAC Decoder can no longer be included in an AirPlay 2 build. The reason is that FFmpeg -- used instead -- deals comprehensively with ALAC, AAC, multichannel, mixdown and rate transcoding and is well maintained.
The Apple ALAC Decoder is known to have security issues and is no longer maintained. This update prevents it from being included in Shairport Sync for AirPlay 2.
Version 5.0.1+-36-g6729802d
