NEW features of cdrtools-2.01a26:
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: - The install-sh script not takes care about UNIX variants like SCO UnixWare and SCO OpenServer that allow to give away files via chown. If this works and /tmp has the sticky bit set, the root test was unable to remove the test files later. For this reason, now a subdirectory in /tmp is used. - Support for the special .PHONY: target ---> needs smake-1.2a21 or newer This helps to deal with files like INSTALL operating systems like Win32 and Mac OS that don't honor file name case and prevents the file named INSTALL to get into trouble with 'make install' - 'make install' now works on operating systems that require a '.exe' suffix for executable binaries - Updated the file README.ATAPI Updated information for Linux, SCO-OpenServer, SCO-UnixWare, Win32 and DOS - mconfig.h now supports make COPTX=-DNO_FORK & COPTX=-DNO_VFORK - snprintf() from libschily now correctly follows POSIX.1-2001 for maxlength == 0 Libparanoia (Ported by Jörg Schilling, originated by Monty [EMAIL PROTECTED]): - New indentation is better conforming to 'cstyle' - Fixed a bug in libparanoia that prevented the statistics to show up the number of 'skips' (the number of exhausted read retries) when SKIP verification has been turned off. Libedc (Optimized by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt [EMAIL PROTECTED]): Libscg: - For win32, dev=ASPI:1,0 and dev=SPTI:1,0 work again Rscsi: Cdrecord: - New option -tao is now needed if you like to write in TAO mode. Cdrecord now does no longer writes if no write mode has been specified. - New option -sao as alias for -dao. As the official name for the write mode is SAO, -sao is more correct than -dao. - Fixes for minor typos in cdrecord.1 - Fixed a bug with pad=xxx and pad sizes > 2 GB. Cdda2wav (By Heiko Eißfeldt [EMAIL PROTECTED]): - Fix for a Bug that prevents paranoia statistice from being printed bacause the paranoia statistics for the forked version has not been inside the shared memory. - New paranoia sub option paraopts=overlap=xx This is mainly a bug fix for cdda2wav. Cdda2wav previously _always_ did completely deactivat the dynamic overlapping from libparanoia. Instead, it did set the overlapping to the statical value 0. If you omit paraopts=overlap=xx, cdda2wav will now use dynamic overlaping with -paranoia. If you like the old behavior, use: paraopts=overlap=0 - New paranoia sub option paraopts=minoverlap=xx This sets the minimum dynamic overlap - New paranoia sub option paraopts=maxoverlap=xx This sets the maximum dynamic overlap - Better paranoia statistics output - Fixed a Problem with some Linux sound card drivers that caused cdda2wav to be unable to output to the soundcard. - cdda2wav now checks /etc/default/cdrecord and accepts dev=plextor as cdrecord does. - Trying to add verbose output that estimates the read quality with -paranoia Readcd: Scgcheck: Mkisofs (By Jörg Schilling and James Pearson [EMAIL PROTECTED]): - "Total extents including sparc boot" Message is now correctly "Total extents including %s boot" sparc/sunx86 - mkisofs now checks /etc/default/cdrecord and allows e.g. "mkisofs -C 0,1234 dev=plextor ...." as cdrecord does - Unclean message ....extents written (%d Mb) changed to ....extents written (%d MB) to avois "MegaBit" confision. - Minor change for old UNIX versions like SCO OpenServer to get smooth compilation on system where mode_t is a short. - Fix for a bug in RockRidge name handling for long file names that need to be split into more than one sector. Thanks to Patrick Ohly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Trying to fix a bug in the multi session time stamp comparing functions. CE records have not been handled correctly here. - Support for PowerPC CHRP Boot added, thanks to "Leigh Brown" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Support for -uid/-gid for UDF Filesystems added - isoinfo now is able to list ElTorito Boot information with -d - isoinfo now correctly shows long RR filenames from CE Extension records. 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.
