* OggOpus support. :bug:`115` (Christoph Reiter)
* Musepack:

  * Fix SV7 bitrate calculation :bug:`7` (Christoph Reiter)
  * Support SV8 :bug:`7` (Christoph Reiter)

-----------------

* ASF: Don't store blocks over 64K in the MetadataObject block;
  use the MetadataLibraryBlock instead. :bug:`60` (Lukáš Lalinský)
* ID3: Faster parsing of files with lots of padding. :bug:`65`
  (Christoph Reiter)
* FLAC: Correct check for audio data start. :bug:`67`

* 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. :bug:`32`
