 # autocue changelog
 
+### 2024-07-02 – v4.0.5
+
+- Fixed a situation where `cue_file` would read a string duration from ffprobe for audio stream \#0, which led to an error in the AzuraCast log like this:
+  ```
+  2024/07/02 16:03:27 [autocue:2] Error while processing autocue: error(kind="json",message="Parsing error: json value cannot be parsed as type {duration: float, _}",positions="at autocue.liq, line 814 char 6 - line 826 char 10")
+  ```
+- `cue_file` now outputs the same duration for both tag reading and full analysis mode.
+- `cue_file` will not anymore write a `duration` tag to files. That was a newly introduced bug in v4.0.4.
+
+
 ### 2024-07-01 – v4.0.4
 
 - Allow to override results via JSON even _after_ having done a fresh analysis (automatic or forced), for ultimate flexibility when using `cue_file` for pre-processing. You can now add fades, ramp or hook points, or do other calculations and feed the results into `cue_file` for tagging. **Use with care**, because some values are dependent on others. In any case, `cue_file` will ever _only_ write tags beginning with `liq_` and (if requested) `replaygain_`.
 - Prevent some strange errors that could happen when piping something into `cue_file` and JSON input was not `stdin`. We now use `ffmpeg -nostdin` to prevent it reading input that was meant for `cue_file`.
 - Don’t write _all_ `liq_*` tags (could have side effects), but only those _known_ (see `cue_file --help` for current list).
 - Streamlined tag conversion code a little.
 
+
 ### 2024-06-18 – v4.0.3
 
 - Changed default of `-x`/`--extra` and `settings.autocue.cue_file.overlay_longtail` from `-15.0` LU to `-12.0` LU, requested by @RM-FM and the community. Together with the `-d`/`--drop` default change from `60.0` to `40.0`, this makes for a "tighter" playout and doesn’t lose too much of long or sustained endings.
