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 ********************************* NEW features of cdrtools-2.01.01a76: ******* NOTE: cdrtools is currently in a state of a release candidate for the next major release. ******* ******* All man pages have been rewritten for the upcomming final release ****** ******* Please read the man pages and report hints and proposals ****** All: Libschily: Libparanoia (Ported/enhanced by Jörg Schilling, originated by Monty xiphmont@mit.edu): Libedc (Optimized by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de): Libcdrdeflt: Libdeflt: Libfind: Libfile: Libhfs_iso: Libsiconv: Libscg: Libscgcmd: Libmdigest: Rscsi: Cdrecord: - Added a workaround for a firmware bug in the drive: 'HL-DT-ST' 'BD-RE BH10LS30 ' '1.00' That causes the drive to return zero media size for BluRay media. - cdrecord now aborts if the cuefile= option was specified with a non-CD media in the drive. - CDRWIN CUE files now may refer to several data files where each data file contains less than the whole disk but more than a single track. - The CUE parser now correctly sets the sector size information for the lead-in area. - The CUE parser now by default only accepts CDRWIN CUE compliant files but may be switched into an enhanced mode by introducing a special comment "REM CDRTOOLS" - The CUE parser now supports a FILE command between INDEX 00 and INDEX 01. This is needed in order to write CUE sheets from Exact Audio Copy. Note that cdrecord needs to be switched into the enhanced CUE parser mode by either specifying "REM CDRTOOLS" or by specifying: REM COMMENT "ExactAudioCopy v0.99pb5" Also note that cdrecord currently does not support more than one FILE command per TRACK. For this reason, hidden audio tracks only work if the hidden audio data is in the same file that also contains data for track 1. - New commands "ARRANGER", "COMPOSER" and "MESSAGE" for adding CD-Text information in CUE files. Note that these commands are cdrecord specific extensions that re unknown by CDRWIN and thus need "REM CDRTOOLS" to be enabled. - The CUE file format is now documented in the cdrecord man page. - Fixed a small type bug in cdrecord/fifo.c (introduced a few versions before) that hits if the OS does not support the FIFO. Cdda2wav (Maintained/enhanced by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de): - New cdda2wav option -vaudio-tracks - Make cdda2wav -q silent again (even with CDs with hidden track) to make it compatible again with scripts. - cdda2ogg and cdda2ogg.1 added to standard install The script cdda2ogg was enhanced to work seamlessly. - cdda2mp3 and cdda2mp3.1 added to standard install The script cdda2mp3 was enhanced to work seamlessly. - the scripts cdda2ogg and cdda2mp3 now allow to forward options to cdda2wav. In order to enable "paranoia mode", call: cdda2ogg -paranoia In order to enable the most proof "paranoia mode", call: cdda2ogg -paraopts=proof - The cdda2ogg man page was completely reworked - The SYSvr4 pkg definition now includes cdda2ogg and cdda2mp3 - Added a workaround for a broken ASPI that hangs with odd transfer counts. Readcd: - Added a workaround for a broken ASPI that hangs with odd transfer counts. Scgcheck: Scgskeleton: Btcflash: Mkisofs (Maintained/enhanced by Jörg Schilling since 1997, originated by Eric Youngdale): HELIOS TODO: - Add the HELIOS UNICODE mapping code. This needs to be done at UCS-2 level for Joliet and UDF (instead of UTF-8) and only for Rock Ridge (in case of a UTF-8 based target locale) using UTF-8 based translations. - Make the Apple extensions work again with "mkisofs -find" TODO: - Support correct inode numbers for UDF hardlinks - Support sockets, pipes, char/blk-dev specials with UDF - read Joliet filenames with multi-session if no TRANS.TBL or RR is present. I am looking for a volunteer for this task! 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. - add libecc/edc for CDI and similar. 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% POSIX compatible. GNU tar may get some minor trouble. If you like a 100% POSIX compliant tar, get star from ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/star/ WARNING: Do not use 'winzip' to extract the tar file! Winzip cannot extract symbolic links correctly. Joerg
