NEW features of cdrtools-2.01a12: 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: Rscsi: Cdrecord: - Fixed a multi session bug that has been introduced with the DVD+R/RW restructuring with cdrecord-2.01a11. This bug caused cdrecord to be unable to start a track from a sector number != 0 in TAO mode. - Fixed a poblem with cdrecord -msinfo introduced with the the DVD+R/RW restructuring with cdrecord-2.01a11. The unwanted verbose prining has been removed with this version. - New option -xa to create CD-ROM XA mode 2 form 1 sectors with 2048 bytes of user data - New option -xamix to create mixed CD-ROM XA mode 2 form 1/2 sectors with 2332 bytes of user supplied data. - Restructured sector types to make them usable: -mode2 CD-ROM data mode 2 - 2336 bytes -xa CD-ROM XA mode 2 form 1 - 2048 bytes -xa1 CD-ROM XA mode 2 form 1 - 2056 bytes -xa2 CD-ROM XA mode 2 form 2 - 2324 bytes -xamix CD-ROM XA mode 2 form 1/2 - 2332 bytes To write conforming CD-ROM XA multisession disks use cdrecord -multi -xa1 together with mkisofs -XA -sectype xa1 - -cdi is now implemented how it should be: as a flat to change the TOC type of a CD and not as a sector mode. Cdda2wav (By Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de): Readcd: Scgcheck: Mkisofs (By Jörg Schilling and James Pearson j.pearson@ge.ucl.ac.uk): - This version of mkisofs allows to create sectors with 2056 bytes if the option -XA or -xa has been used together with -sectype xa1. This is 2048 bytes + sub-header. - -apple does no longer include -R or -r. If you like to use -apple, you need to use -R/-r or -XA/-xa in addition. - New option -sectype SECTYPE / -s SECTYPE Possible parameters are: data 2048 bytes per sector - the old and current default xa1 2056 bytes per sector - this is what you need for a conforming CD-ROM XA multi session CD. Use -sectype xa1 together with -XA 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
