NEW features of cdrtools-1.11a40: 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 ********************************* There will soon be a new final release for cdrtools. Please do not send new patches for new features before the final is out. Please note that the DVD-Video patch was a big modification (it took a week for only cleanly integrating the patch) so please test! ********** IMPORTANT: In order to prepare a new major release, I now declare a code & feature freeze. Only _very_ important Bug Fixes will be applied to the source until the next major release has been published. With 1.11a40 all known problems for cdrtools have been fixed. 1.11a40 is the release candidate for the upcoming next major release. After 1.11a40 only very important and major bugs will be fixed if this is possible in a way that definitely does not introduce new bugs. ********** All: - Correct autoconf test for broken OS like MAC OS X that do not allow local malloc() implementations due to linker bugs. - Add autoconf test for strange clock_t definition method on Linux - README.ATAPI enhanced for all platforms - README.ATAPI now contains a hint on how to use ATAPI drives on HP-UX-11.x - *roff'd man pages in .../doc dir re-created Libparanoia: Libedc: Libscg: - Fiex a bug in scsiopen.c that caused cdrecord to dump core when SCSI device specifiers from BSDI were used - Support for non-root rcmd(3) and ssh(1) taken from star(1) librmt Use env RSH=ssh cdrecord ..... To use ssh(1) for a remote SCSI connection. Note that using ssh(1) makes RSCSI much slower than via a root initiated rcmd(3) connection. Note that non-root initiated rcmd(3) connections will be slow too! Rscsi: - Return "PIPE" for hostname comparison if called from e.g. 'sshd'. Cdrecord: - #ifdef _POSIX_MEMLOCK/_POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING Tests now POSIX 2001 compliant - Do not try to close fd if running on an OS that does not use an fd to mmap() chared memory from anonymous pages. - Print Orange Forum embargo warning only if ATIP minutes == 97 because some DVD writer return junk with read ATIP - New option minbuf= to choose the mininum drive buffer fill ratio for the ATAPI wait option that is intended to forcibly free the IDE bus to avoid buffer underruns with bad HW configurations. The permitted range is 25..95 for 25%..95% buffer fill ratio. - minbuf= may switch on the ATAPI wait option without enabling the SCSI Immed option. - Forcibly switch on -v for now if the ATAPI wait option has been selected. This is needed because due to a bug, this option will not work without -v - Make FIFO code work on AmigaOS For Yamaha Disk Tatoo features read README.DiskT@2 For CD-text Autoring support read README.cdtext CD-text TODO: - Check whether the *.inf files are all from the same CD and clear some CD-text fields that are only valid if they relate to one CD only. - Add some more fields (mainly a deficiency of cdda2wav) - Support multi language text - Support character coding other than ISO-8859-1 ****************************************************************** NOTE: Read README.cdtext NOTE: Read README.raw ****************************************************************** Cdda2wav (By Heiko Eißfeldt [EMAIL PROTECTED]): - Man page fixed - Fix for an uninitialized variable - New exit codes for xcdroast - Fix for a CDDB bug: need to use lead out start for play time - Fix for a CDDB bug: Allow whitepsace in Genre - Fix for a CDDB bug: need to count data tracks too Readcd: - Cleaned up code for -overhead option Scgcheck: Mkisofs (By Jörg Schilling and James Pearson [EMAIL PROTECTED]): - Make "HFS_TYPE" and "HFS_CREATOR" work as documented in ~/.mkisofsrc - Fixed a small typo in isofinfo.c - As mkisofs -f has bugs that cannot be fixed for this release, I decided to mark the '-f' Option as non-functional. People who use it will be warned that it does not work correctly. - Sort VIDEO_TS.IFO to be the first entry in VIDEO_TS/ woth -dvd-video - Disable Joliet if -dvd-video has been specified. This needs to be done to allow the change above. - Correctly handle files > 1GB on the UDF filesystem. Thanks to Wei DING <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for the patch. 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 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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.
