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-3.01a22: This is the first localization step for cdrtools. All programs now (hopefully) call gettext() for all strings that need localization. - The next step will include dgettext() calls for the libraries. - The following step will include the extracted strings - The last step will include German translations and install support for the resulting binary message object files. ----------> Please test and report compilation problems! <--------- ***** NOTE: As mentioned since 2004, frontends to cdrtools should ***** ***** call all programs from cdrtools in the "C" locale ***** ***** by e.g. calling: LC_ALL=C cdrecord .... ***** ***** unless these frontends support localized strings ***** ***** used by the cdrtools with NLS support. ***** This version compiles on Win-DOS using the Microsoft compiler cl.exe but warning: due to missing POSIX compliance with basic features (e.g. stat() does not return inode numbers), there are many problems with the resulting code and thus it is recommended to better use a POSIX layer on top of WIN-DOS. All: - include/schily/varargs.h now includes a new type va_lists_t that is a structure that covers va_list. - include/schily/getargs.h now has comment for the arguments and return code of the getargs() callback functions. - The schily makefilesystem now includes a new symlink ppc64le-linux-cc.rul for non-automake aware make implementations such as gmake. - New autoconf tests for strspn() strcspn() wcsspn() wcscspn() Libschily: - libschily now implements strspn() strcspn() wcsspn() wcscspn() - libschily/format.c (the low level printf() implementation) now implements support for %n$ argument repositioning for the case that "n" is 1..30, or if larger points to an int type arg. - libschily/fprformat.c fixed a bug that would prevent to use stdio macros with newer OpenSolaris versions, making printf() not as fast as expected.

Thanks to a report from Vladimir Marek Libscg: Libscgcmd: Libmdigest: Rscsi: Cdrecord: Cdda2wav (Maintained/enhanced by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de): Readcd: Scgcheck: Scgskeleton: Btcflash: Mkisofs (Maintained/enhanced by Jörg Schilling since 1997, originated by Eric Youngdale): - Better error messages in mkisofs/apple.c - mkisofs now inplements a new option -legacy that allows to get back the options -H/-L/-P that have been deprecated in 2002 and disabled in 2006 in the definition from the 1990s. If you like to use this feature, write a wrapper shell script that calls: mkisofs -legacy "$@" Note that -H/-L/-P have been disabled in 2006 and mkisofs will soon introduce -H/-L/-P with a POSIX compatible definition as announced since 2002. So take care to convert your scripts to call: -map for the old definition of -H (valid between 2000 and 2002) -allow-leading-dots for the old definition of -L (valid between 1995 and 2002) -publisher for the old definition of -P (valid between 1993 and 2002) - The mkisofs now correctly documents the new behavior from libsiconv 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: - 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
