NEW features of cdrtools-2.0pre2: 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! ********** IMPORTANT: In order to prepare a new major release, I now declare a code & feature freeze. Only _very_ important Bug Fixes will be applied to the source until the next major release has been published. With 1.11a40 all known problems for cdrtools have been fixed. 1.11a40 is the release candidate for the upcoming next major release. After 1.11a40 only very important and major bugs will be fixed if this is possible in a way that definitely does not introduce new bugs. ********** All: - Support for FreeBSD on Ultrasparc added to the makefile system Libparanoia: Libedc: Libscg: Rscsi: Cdrecord: For Yamaha Disk Tatoo features read README.DiskT@2 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-8859-1 ****************************************************************** NOTE: Read README.cdtext NOTE: Read README.raw ****************************************************************** Cdda2wav (By Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de): Readcd: Scgcheck: Mkisofs (By Jörg Schilling and James Pearson j.pearson@ge.ucl.ac.uk): - Koi8-u added to libunls - Fix a nasty bug in the UDF handling part that caused mkisofs to create completely broken filesystem images if directories have been nested deeper than 8 and -D has not been specified. - Include a new piece of code that causes mkisofs to abort with an error message if it turns out that the block numbers estimated during the sizing phase do not match the block numbers in the write phase. - Enabled a piece of code that has been introduced 2 years ago and that causes mkisofs to prevent deep directory relocation if Rock Ridge has not been spacified. If you like mkisofs not to omit the part of the directory tree that is nested too deep, specify either -R, -r or -D. 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
