NEW features of cdrtools-2.01a21:

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:

-	README.msdos has been corrected acording to a hint from Alex Kopylov

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

Libscg:

-	scg__open() now prints a warning if it has not compiled with the results
	from a certified autoconf environment.

-	Introdiced a fix to avoid the need for a #define ident prod_ident
	for SCSI Inquiry data. This #define did cause problems with the
	latest Sun Studio 8, C compilers


Rscsi:

Cdrecord:

-	Changed the GPL clarifications text in a way so Debian people still
	agree with me that cdrecord is free software. The clarifications are
	needed in order to tell people/companies (like Mr. Rosenkranzer,
	RedHat & SuSE) who create broken branches from cdrecord that they are
	not legally publishing their branches because they violate the
	GPL § 2 Paragraph c) and GPL Preamble Section 6).

	If would be better if the named persons/companies would rather stay
	in contact to the Authors, discuss things and contribute to the
	community instead of creating useless/broken changes and in case
	of SuSE Linux even creating hacks that introduce security risks.

	Note that now, RedHat Linux (enterprise server) or the SuSE Linux
	are even more expensive than e.g. Solaris x86, see:

	http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=5416&page=5
	Small Correction to this web page: Solaris x86 is free again for
	personal use.

-	Extended the man page to make it more clear that all CD/DVD-writers
	ever made use only SCSI commands.

-	Another change to the man page according to a hint from
	Eric Raimond in order to get better compliance for troff -> "*ml"
	converters.

-	Allow people who cannot provide an e-mail address or who
	don't like to support their modifications to modify cdrecord

-	Some CUE sheet modifications in drv_mmc.c now made it into
	the official SCCS history file.

-	Several fixes to avoid the need for a #define ident prod_ident
	for SCSI Inquiry data. This #define did cause problems with the
	latest Sun Studio 8, C compilers

-	Hack to work around a POSIX real time priotity design bug that
	causes us to become root again on e.g. Linux in order to be able
	to lower the priority of the FIFO background process.

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!

		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.
