NEW features of cdrtools-2.01a11: 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 ********************************* 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. Please test. All: Libparanoia (Ported by Jörg Schilling, originated by Monty xiphmont@mit.edu): Libedc (Optimized by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de): Libscg: - Extensions to libscg related include files to support DVD+RW formating Rscsi: Cdrecord: - Grace time handling restructured. The grate time waiting is now done even before the forced blanking and it is made sure that the waiting is done only once. - Several changes in the open source part are visible as a result of the new DVD+RW / DVD+R support. - cdrecord-ProDVD now includes first DVD+RW and DVD+R support. Check ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/ on thursday 24.4.2002 for the first binaries - Do not try to lower the possible number of open files in raise_fdlim() anymore. - Check return code of driver's init function. - Better error messages from main write loop. - Write a hint that a user may have used a "preformatted" CD-RW if read_next_writable_address fails for the "invisible" track and tell him to run cdrecord blank=.... - Fixed a bug that caused cdrecord to prevent a 3rd session on a multi session disk. This bug was introduced with the driver restructuring a few releases before. - Better driver text strings for the driver IDs in the CD MMC drivers. - Move Plextor PowerRec speed info completely to the statistics _past_ the recording activities. - Allow more nonstandard Cue sheets to be accepted by the Sony CDU-924 and CDU-948. - Implement MMC-3 DVD+ Drive/Media recognition to avoid that cdrecord starts to treat a DVD+ as a CD-R because the DVD+ drive identifies as CD-R/RW + DVD-ROM with "no DVD media installed" from a MMC-2 viewpoint. - Added a note to the cdrecord man page how to use mkisofs to allow cdrecord to knoe about track sizes in SAO or RAW mode. Cdda2wav (By Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de): Readcd: Scgcheck: Mkisofs (By Jörg Schilling and James Pearson j.pearson@ge.ucl.ac.uk): - Create XA "CD-XA001" signature in PVD with -XA or -xa In the first phase of the implementation you need to specify -R in addition to -XA or -xa or no XA signatures will be written. - Removed a debug statement that has been introduced to implement support for filees >= 2GB. 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 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" 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. Joerg
