NEW features of cdrtools-1.11a27: 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 ********************************* There will soon be a new final release for cdrtools. Please do not send new patches for new features before the final is out. Please note that the DVD-Video patch was a big modification (it took a week for only cleanly integrating the patch) so please test! Goal for the next weeks: only bug fixes if possible. All: Libparanoia: Libscg: Rscsi: Cdrecord: - Again: Data structures modified to allow new features in the future. - Better bessages for CD-RW where the speed ofthe media does not match the properties of the writer. - Avoid to reload media in -dummy RAW mode. - Correctly abort if there was a problem when writing CD-Text in the LEAD-IN. For CD-text Autoring support read README.cdtext CD-text TODO: - Check whether the *.inf files are all from the same CD and clear some CD-text fields that are only valid if they relate to one CD only. - Add some more fields (mainly a deficiency of cdda2wav) - Support multi language text - Support character coding other than ISO-9959-1 ****************************************************************** NOTE: Read README.cdtext NOTE: Read README.raw ****************************************************************** Cdda2wav (By Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de): - Remove old unused getopt() code. - Check DMA residual count - FreeBSD cooked ioctl() Byte swapping now finally OK? Note: there may be more changes, ask Heiko. Readcd: Scgcheck: Mkisofs (By Jörg Schilling and James Pearson j.pearson@ge.ucl.ac.uk): - Support for Apple HFS on Mac OS X Thanks to James Pearson. - Support for more then 65535 directories as only the parent entries need to fit into the path tables. - Full DVD-Video support thanks to Olaf Beck - olaf_sc@yahoo.com 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
