NEW features of cdrecord-1.8a35: Please test mkisofs. I hope that this version will be the last before a final mkisofs-1.12 may be released. I am preparing a NON BETA version of all programs in cdrtools to be ready soon. We are now only a few releases away from the final libscg that includes SCSI low level command transport. Cdrtools now is in alpha for more than a year. It seems to be a good idea to create final versions of all tools that are inside the cdrtools package. ALL: cdrecord: readcd: mkisofs: - Now it is safe to install mkisofs suid root. This is needed to allow XCD-Roast to create multi-session CD's without the need for xcdroast run as root. - New funtion open_merge() now tests if a possible argument to the -M option is a filename before using it as SCSI dev spec. - New option -sparc-boot to create bootable CD's for Sun sparc systems. - New option -generic-boot to add generic boot code that is located on sectors 0..15 on the CD. - The -a option is now obsolete. Now all files are put on CD by default. To suppress backup files use the new option -nobak - -nobak option new to exlude files that contain a '~' or a '#' or end in '.bak' - Be more careful when freeing data in write.c. cdda2wav: Linux NOTES: Better handling for the SCSI status byte is supported with the enhanced Linux sg driver interface.
