NEW features of cdrtools-2.01a03:

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.

***************** Important news ****************************

For the 'Slottable Source Plugin Module' SSPM Features read README.SSPM

***************** Please Test *********************************

All:

-	Allow floating point printing on OS/2. This has been possible
	since 11/2001 but OS/2 has been forgotten.

-	Correct OS/2 ranlib handling

-	New architecture 9000-831-hp

-	Include +DAportable in HP-UX cc options

-	README.hpux enhanced to include hints on how to compile 64 bit
	binaries.

-	Support for NetBSD on PPC (macppc-netbsd-cc)

-	portable getdomainname() replacement now supports to get the domainname
	from /etc/resolv.conf. This allows usage even on OS/2

Libparanoia (Ported by Jörg Schilling, originated by Monty xiphmont@mit.edu):


Libedc (Optimized by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de):


Libscg:

-	Reordered and restructured scsi-remote.c code to allow compilation on OS/2
	and hopefully other OS like BeOS



Rscsi:

Cdrecord:

Cdda2wav (By Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de):


Readcd:


Scgcheck:


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

-	Enhanced the filename length for graft points to 2x PATH_MAX

-	Abort with a warning message if the total size of the image data
	created by mkisofs would differ from the size printed by -print-size

-	udf.c indented acording to hints from the program 'cstyle'

-	UDF now uses the same 'now' timestamp as the ISO-9660 part of the FS.

-	New Stream File feature and new options:

	-stream-file-name
	-stream-media-size

	This feature has been implemented after an idea from M.H. Voase.
	Mkisofs had to be heavily modified to allow this feature.

	A typical usage would look like this:

	star -c . | mkisofs -stream-media-size 333000 | cdrecord dev=b,t,l -dao tsize=333000s -

	The maximum size of the tar archive is 332800 sectors.
	Note that only plain vanilla ISO-9660 is possible in this mode.


-	The final padding that is added by default is now 150 sectors
	which is the required size of the track post gap on a CD.

-	Inter partition paddin is now only choosen to make the next partition
	start on a sector number that is a multiple of 16.

-	isoinfo now also prints root directory extent # in debug mode

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.
