NEW features of cdrtools-2.01a23:
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.
With cdrecord-2.01a14, CUE Sheet handling has been introduced and
1200 lines of new code has been integrated.
Please test.
GPL violation hint:
All recent SuSE distributions contain inofficial and modified versions
of cdrecord that are known to contain bugs and open new security holes.
At least SuSE 8.2 (maybe other SuSE releases too) did contain a modified
version of cdrecord that did violate the GPL § 2 Paragraph c) and
GPL Preamble Section 6 by not making clear that they published a
modified
version that differs from the original and thus may have bug not found
in the official version. As the version published by SuSE definitely
has bugs,
it is obvious that this hint is needed.
SuSE 9.0 now seems to honor the GPL but the cdrecord binaries on SuSE
9.0
are definitely defective - please compile cdrecord yourself to get
binaries that work as expected.
Unfortunately, SuSE stopped sending free CD sets to developers about
9 months ago, so it is hard to get hold of these problems....
Hint for interested people: Solaris x86 is free for personal use and
the CD images may even be downloaded for free.
Also note that for the above reasons, it is always a good idea to
compile
cdrtools yourself from official sources in order make sure that you run
an official version.
All:
- Rules extended to support volume management libs
Libparanoia (Ported by Jörg Schilling, originated by Monty [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Libedc (Optimized by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt [EMAIL
PROTECTED]):
Libscg:
- First attempt to support running cdrecord while the volume management is
active.
Rscsi:
Cdrecord:
- Mark all drives that cannot be accessed because the volume management is
running and no media is in the drive with '?' instead of '*', so they
may be distinct from non existing drives.
Read README.volmgt for more infiomation
Cdda2wav (By Heiko Eißfeldt [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
- Made CD-Text handling reentrant to overcome a problem triggered by
XCDRoast
Readcd:
Scgcheck:
Mkisofs (By Jörg Schilling and James Pearson [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
- The file README.sunx86boot has been reworked to make it more correct
and contain less typos.
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.
