TAK - author burnt out or too busy? 2016-02-22 09:11:01 Hi,Several months ago, I'm asking the same question.Wish Tom still want to develop TAK, as the compression rate and speed really good.
Re: TAK - author burnt out or too busy? Reply #1 – 2016-02-22 16:26:39 I'm not aware he has given up development. If he ever does, I would hope he would open the code so the work he has done can be continued and implemented on other platforms.
Re: TAK - author burnt out or too busy? Reply #2 – 2016-04-01 01:25:35 Must we really open another TAK thread? Or maybe it would be better to remove this topic and refer to already existing one(hint hint)?

Re: TAK - author burnt out or too busy? Reply #4 – 2017-01-27 05:28:48 I hope a new version is still on the works.Probably one of the greatest lossless codecs out there. Too important piece of software to be neglected.Would very much like a full Unicode support, and 64-Bit support as well. (And it might be good idea to add 32-bit audio compatibility, just because WavPack has one.)
Re: TAK - author burnt out or too busy? Reply #5 – 2017-03-19 10:02:28 Unlikely. Theres nothing stopping other people making another codec, this time using ANS instead of Rice coding >_>. Last I seen, the Flake FLAC encoder is pretty easy to follow in terms of code, so understanding a lossless codec's function shouldn't be hard, plus FLAC has extensive docs.
