NEW features of cdrtools-2.01a12:

Please have a look at the German open Source Center BerliOS at www.berlios.de
BerliOS will continue to support free hosting of cryptography projects even
when US laws change and don't allow to host cryptography projects in the USA.
Also look at sourcewell.berlios.de, the first Open Source announcement service
that itself is implemented as Open Source project.

NOTICE: for supporting the CW-7501 and for supporting SAO/DAO with the
	Sony CDU-920, Sony CDU-924, Sony CDU-948, the driver interface has
	been modified.  This change did affect more than 3000 lines of code.
	The new driver interface again is more simple and more extendable than
	the old one, but the change may affect -dummy and -multi writing for
	any other drive. Please test if the change did not introduce new bugs.

	Also the change on the packet writing structures may affect packet writing.

	The changes for the DVD+ drive/media recognition may affect drive or
	media type recognition for any other drive.

	The changes for DVD+RW & DVD+R media support may cause cdrecod to fail 
	in other circumstances.

	Please test.

Cdrecord:

-	Fixed a multi session bug that has been introduced with the DVD+R/RW 
	restructuring with cdrecord-2.01a11. This bug caused cdrecord to be unable
	to start a track from a sector number != 0 in TAO mode.

-	Fixed a poblem with cdrecord -msinfo introduced with the the DVD+R/RW
	restructuring with cdrecord-2.01a11. The unwanted verbose prining has been
	removed with this version.

-	New option -xa to create CD-ROM XA mode 2 form 1 sectors with 2048 bytes
	of user data

-	New option -xamix to create mixed CD-ROM XA mode 2 form 1/2 sectors 
	with 2332 bytes of user supplied data.

-	Restructured sector types to make them usable:

	-mode2         CD-ROM data mode 2	 - 2336 bytes
	-xa            CD-ROM XA mode 2 form 1	 - 2048 bytes
	-xa1           CD-ROM XA mode 2 form 1	 - 2056 bytes
	-xa2           CD-ROM XA mode 2 form 2	 - 2324 bytes
	-xamix         CD-ROM XA mode 2 form 1/2 - 2332 bytes

	To write conforming CD-ROM XA multisession disks use cdrecord -multi -xa1
	together with mkisofs -XA -sectype xa1

-	-cdi is now implemented how it should be: as a flat to change
	the TOC type of a CD and not as a sector mode.

Mkisofs (By Jörg Schilling and James Pearson j.pearson@ge.ucl.ac.uk):

-	This version of mkisofs allows to create sectors with 2056 bytes if the
	option -XA or -xa has been used together with -sectype xa1.
	This is 2048 bytes + sub-header.

-	-apple does no longer include -R or -r.
	If you like to use -apple, you need to use -R/-r or -XA/-xa in addition.

-	New option -sectype SECTYPE / -s SECTYPE

	Possible parameters are:

	data	2048 bytes per sector - the old and current default

	xa1	2056 bytes per sector - this is what you need for a conforming
		CD-ROM XA multi session CD. Use -sectype xa1 together with -XA


TODO:
	-	read Joliet filenames with multi-session if no TRANS.TBL
		or RR is present. I am looking for a volouteer for this task:
		Peter Berendi <berendi2@webdesign.hu> announced that he likes
		to be the volounteer for this task.

		Unfortunately, I did no hear again from him, but I got
		a proposal from
		"Krisztian Gede" <nameless@mail.datanet.hu>
		who also likes to do the job.

		Note that this can never be 100% correct as there is no relation
		between the names on the master (UNIX) filesystem, the ISO-9660
		names and the Joliet names. Only the Rock Ridge names are
		untranslated with respect to the original files on the
		master (UNIX) filesystem.

	-	implement Yellow book compliant XA extended dir attributes

	-	add libecc/edc for CDI and similar.
		This may not be needed if we ise VCDimager and recent
		cdrecord versions.


CYGWIN NT-4.0 NOTES:

To compile on Cygwin32, get Cygwin and install it.
For more information read README.win32

The files are located on:

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha ...

NOTE:	These tar archives are 100% ansi compatible. Solaris 2.x tar and GNU
	tar may get some minor trouble.

WARNING: Do not use 'mc' to extract the tar file!
	All mc versions before 4.0.14 cannot extract symbolic links correctly.

WARNING: Do not use 'winzip' to extract the tar file!
	Winzip cannot extract symbolic links correctly.
