NEW features of cdrtools-2.01a13:

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.

	With cdrecord-2.01a13, the track parsing has been completely rearranged
	in order to support new features in the future. This causes a high risk
	for bugs.

	Please test.

All:

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

-	Included a bug fix from the libparanoia Author.
	Correctly allocate some arrays. Note: on 32 Bit machines, this patch does
	not result in a different binary but the code is now really corret.

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

Libscg:

-	Make libscg work on SCO UnixWare if an application like cdrecord
	has been installed suid root.

	Before, the called adninistration programs did not work if euid!=uid

Rscsi:

Cdrecord:

-	Track parsing completely restructured to allow new features.
	One of the features is to write audio CDs from a pipe,
	other features will follow.

-	Cdrecord now resets euid to the uid of the caller (if called suid root)
	before it opens data files.

-	Fixed a bug that caused cdrecord to insert two grace wait periods
	if a disk was blanked and rewritten in one call.

-	Allow cdrecord to copy audio CDs from a pipe from cdda2wav
	without using an intermediate file on disk.

       To copy an audio CD  from  a  pipe  (without  intermediate
       files), first run

           cdda2wav dev=1,0 -vall cddb=0 -info-only

       and then run

           cdda2wav dev=1,0 -no-infofile -B -Oraw - | \
           cdrecord dev=2,0 -v -dao -audio -useinfo -text *.inf

       This  will get all information (including track size info)
       from the *.inf files and then read  the  audio  data  from
       stdin.

       If  you  like to write from stdin, make sure that cdrecord
       is called with a large enough fifo size  (e.g.   fs=128m),
       reduce  the write speed to a value below the read speed of
       the source drive (e.g.  speed=12), and  switch  the  burn-
       free   option   for  the  recording  drive  on  by  adding
       driveropts=burnfree.

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.

	-	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.
