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.

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

NEW features of cdrtools-2.01.01a10:

*******
NOTE: this is _not_ a release that starts a new aplha/beta series of dirtibutions.
	The only reason is to add certain new CD/DVD features that are important.

	So _please_ do not send any patches except when you like to fix extreme bugs.
	I am currently mainly working on stable incremental restore featurs for star-1.5-final.
	Once star-1.5-final is out, cdrtools will start a new developent cycle.

All:

-	The file "CONTRIBUTING" has been updated.

Libparanoia (Ported by Jörg Schilling, originated by Monty xiphmont@mit.edu):

Libedc (Optimized by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de):

Libscg:

-	scsi-apollo.c & scsi-hpux.c indented properly to follow Cstyle

-	scsi-linux-ata.c cast added to avoid strange warning from GCC
	caused by bad coding style in the Linux kernel.

-	scsi-linux-ata.c trying again to add workarounds for new Linux
	Kernel self-incompatibilities: Adding the same uid workaround
	as for scsi-linux-sg.c. Note that I am not sure if this is the
	only incompatibility that has been added with Linux-2.6.16, it may
	be that they did also break the behavior of seteuid().
	Please help me with further testing and debugging.

	I am however short before giving up completely with Linux.


Rscsi:

Cdrecord:

-	Fixed a typo in defaults.c & scsimmc.h

-	Fixed a bug (ignoring DVD+R/DL media) that has been introduced
	with cdrecord-2.01.01a09 when trying to work around a Pioneer
	firmware problem.

-	Introduced a better DMA speed test that now hopefully notices
	all cases when the SCSI read buffer command does not work.

-	Print the physical drive buffer size in addition to the logical 
	drive buffer size when both differ.

-	Added a workaround for a NEC DVD firmwarebug that caused cdrecord
	to use the CD write speed instead of the DVD write speed.

-	Added a workaround for the fact that some NEC writers return a too
	small size for half written DVD+RW (use end_lba from GET PERFORMANCE
	in this case).

-	Better error messages in case of no track options that are called
	together with file type arguments.

-	Added new Mt.Fuji6 profile texts for HD-DVD and Blu ray writers.


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

-	Fixed several typos that have been introduced with 2.01.01a09 and that
	did prevent compilation on Linux, FreeBSD and Cygwin.

Readcd:

-	New experimental option -edc-corr. This has already been added with
	2.01.01a09 but forgotten to list here.

Scgcheck:

Scgskeleton:

Btcflash:


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

TODO:
	-	read Joliet filenames with multi-session if no TRANS.TBL
		or RR is present. I am looking for a volouteer 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.
