 <h3><br><b>Known Issues with This Release</b></h3>
 <h3>&nbsp; &nbsp;If you notice an issue with this release <b>not</b> mentioned below, please contact ecodis or a contributor with the details (configuration, input file) needed to reproduce the issue.</h3>
 <ul>
- <li><h3>exhaleLib: Coding of stereo or multichannel input yields suboptimal audio quality because the joint-channel coding functionality provided by the ISO/IEC <a href="https://www.iso.org/standard/76385.html">23003-3</a> standard has not been implemented so far. See the functionality roadmap below.</h3></li>

See the functionality roadmap below.</h3></li>
  <li><h3>exhaleApp: Only basic WAVE input file reading functionality has been implemen&shy;ted. Specifically, 8-bit WAVE input is assumed to contain an even number of audio samples, and the Broadcast and Extensible WAVE file formats are not supported.</h3></li>
