NEW features of cdrtools-2.01a20:

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.

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

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

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.

	With cdrecord-2.01a14, CUE Sheet handling has been introduced and
	1200 lines of new code has been integrated.

	Please test.

All:

-	Trying to support DOS with the DJGPP compilation environment
	Thanks to Alex Kopylov <reanimatolog@yandex.ru> for the first version
	of the port and further helping.

	Note that in order to compile cdrtools on DOS/DJGPP you need smake-1.2a20 or newer.
	GNU make does not seem to work for a DOS compilation.

-	New File README.msdos

-	New RULES for DOS/DJGPP

-	Make some vars in align_test.c static because Mac OS X creates unneeded
	name space pollution.

-	DJGPP has no SIGBUS, use #ifdef in avoffset.c and align_test.c

-	Several changes with casting Null pointer constants to Null Pointers
	if they are used as parameters in var arg lists (see below).

-	New gethostname() fallback emulation using uname(2).

-	Better rename(2) emulation for Platforms that don't have rename().

-	niread()/niwrite()/nixread()/nixwrite() in libschily now resets errno
	to the old value in case EINTR did occur.


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

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

Libscg:

-	Librscg now uses correct casting to a Null Pointer for execlp() as
	NULL is a Null Pointer Constant but no Null Pointer. This could
	make problems with some 64 bit architectures.

-	New driver scsi-dos.c acting as 16 bit DOS ASPI interface
	Thanks to Alex Kopylov <reanimatolog@yandex.ru> for the first version
	of the driver.

	Check his Web Page: http://bootcd.narod.ru/index_e.htm
	it contains precompiled DOS binaries.

-	The driver scsi-dos.c has already been verified with 'scgcheck'.

-	scsi-os2.c and scsi-wnt.c now correctly return 0 from scg_send() if
	the target is not valid.

-	scsi-wnt.c does now support multiple SCSI opens.

-	scsi-wnt.c does now correctly return SCG_NO_ERROR in case a SCSI command
	returned CHECK CONDITION.

Rscsi:

Cdrecord:

-	Man page corrected to correctly mention current format for /etc/default/cdrecord

-	call setmode(fileno, O_BINARY) for DOS/DJGPP also

-	Better check if we use the FIFO to avoid core dumps with too small FIFO sizes.

-	Switch off FIFO of fifo size is < 2 * SCSI transferbuffer

-	Fixed a small bug in the man page (..sp instead of .sp). Thanks to Eric Raymond
	for reporting!

-	Work around for a problem in the Plextor 708 firmware (at least 1.01..1.02)
	that caused cdrecord to be unable to recognise that a DVD medium is present instead
	of a CD medium.


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

-	call setmode(fileno, O_BINARY) for DOS/DJGPP also

Readcd:

-	call setmode(fileno, O_BINARY) for DOS/DJGPP also

Scgcheck:

-	Abor further DMA residual tests if a basic DMA residual test fails.

-	Second open test enhanced.

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

-	call setmode(fileno, O_BINARY) for DOS/DJGPP also

TODO:
	-	read Joliet filenames with multi-session if no TRANS.TBL
		or RR is present. I am looking for a volouteer for this task!

		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.


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% POSIX compatible. GNU tar may get some
	minor trouble. If you like a 100% POSIX compliant tar, get star from
	ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/star/

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