NEW features of cdrtools-2.01a06:

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.

All:

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


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


Libscg:

-	First attempt to support QNX.
	Note that the sourcecode comes from QNX and it looks as if it 
	is buggy for commands that cause SCSI commands that result in 
	a Check Condition status. From looking at the source, the stack
	gets overwritten in this case.

-	SCSI adaptation layer for SCO UnixWare rewritten to support
	multiple opens and to better follow the libscg interface standard.

Rscsi:

Cdrecord:

-	Trying to catch SIGHUP to aviod hung recorders after people
	close X windows by accident (This in most cases happens because
	some newer GUIs try try copy bad ideas from Microsoft like the 'x'
	button on the top bar in the window.

-	Trying to print hints if the SCSI error core looks like a buffer
	underrun occured.

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

Readcd:


Scgcheck:

-	Trying to check if multiple scg_open() requests result in
	usable interfaces.

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


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.
