I noticed there hasn't been a release since 2015...

Wondering the same myself. Please start maintaining SoX again.

@mansr have been doing some work on his fork of this repository. https://github.com/mansr/sox

The official repo (https://sourceforge.net/p/sox/code/ci/master/tree/) is the most up to date. Although there is no recent tagged release, the master branch should be stable.

@mansr Thanks for the reply/input. Is the work you have done on your fork repository added to the SoX official repo or?

Would it be possible for you to compile a new set of SoX Win Binaries from the master branch? Building/compiling binaries is out of my knowledge.

It's possible to produce cross compiled mingw binaries on Fedora but looking at the spec file it's already a big mess and I'm not sure I have time to figure it out. Plus I would also have to produce mingw libraries for any dependencies. It's likely we already have some but not all of them.

Both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows binaries can be cross-compiled on Linux using the mingw-w64 toolchain.

Just hoping that someone can help out with a new set of SoX Windows binaries.......

Asked a dude if he could compile a set and he grabbed the source-code to have a look and ran into issues at once. No Windows-based build system included in the source. He's on a Windows OS.
