NEW features of cdrtools-2.01a07:

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.

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:

-	Second attempt to support QNX.
	Make it compile

Rscsi:

Cdrecord:

-	First (still mostly empty) driver for the Matsushita CW-7501

Cdda2wav (By Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de):

Readcd:

-	First (hacky) implementation of a way to meter the read speed
	as a function of the disk location modeled after a idea from
	Markus Plail <cdrecord@gitteundmarkus.de>

	Call:
		readcd dev=b,t,l meshpoints=1000 > outfile
	then
		gnuplot
		gnuplot> plot "outfile" w l

	or
		
		gnuplot> replot "outfile" w l

	if you like to overlay graphs.



Scgcheck:

-	Send more outout to stdout instead of stderr.

-	More correct test for max sense count.

-	Eject CD _after_ asking for it.


Mkisofs (By Jörg Schilling and James Pearson j.pearson@ge.ucl.ac.uk):

-	Fixed a bug with split symbolic links found by Klaus Kopper
	with the new debug messages introduced with mkisofs-2.01a04


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 <berendi2@webdesign.hu> 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" <nameless@mail.datanet.hu>
		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.
