NEW features of cdrtools-2.01a10:

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.

For the 'Slottable Source Plugin Module' SSPM Features read README.SSPM

***************** Please Test *********************************

NOTICE: for supporting the CW-7501, the driver interface has been modified.
	This change did affect ~ 2000 lines of code.
	The new driver interface again is more simple and more extendable than
	the old one, but the change may affect -dummy and -multi writing for
	any other drive. Please test if the change did not introduce new bugs.

	Also the change on the packet writing structures may affect packet writing.

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:

Rscsi:

Cdrecord:

-	Driver interface restructured to support aborting SAO recording
	with the Sony CDU-948

-	"Driver flags" printing corrected

-	Better behavior with CADDY drives and -load option

-	Fixed a bug that caused cdrecord not to abort if Tracks with unknown
	length are present in RAW write mode.

-	Print extended Power Rec Speed information for Plextor drives.

-	CUE Sheet handling generalized to allow to implement SAO writing
	for more drives.

-	Start supporting the Sony CDU-948 in SAO mode. Currently not yet working:

	-	Multi-session

	-	MCN/ISRC


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


Readcd:

Scgcheck:

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

-	New options -XA & -xa

	-XA	Generate XA iso-directory attributes with original owner
		and mode information.

	-xa	Generate XA iso-directory attributes with rationalized owner
		and mode information (user/group == 0).

	In the first phase of the implementation you need to specify -R in
	addition.

-	Try to support files >= 2 GB.
	Note that mkisofs is not yet written cleanly so there may be problems
	if files >= are used. In such a case, please report.


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.
