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-2.01.01a15:

*******
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:

-	include file system completely restructured to avoid future name conflicts.
	The include files now have completely moved to include/schily/.
	This also allows to make all include files available in /usr/include/schily/
	in the future. 

-	fixed a type in include/schily/termios.h thanks to Steven M. Schweda for
	reporting.

-	All libraries now include support for compiling the code as shared library.
	The code has been tested on Solaris but should also work in *BSD and Linux.

	In order to compile with shared libraries, either call:

		make LINKMODE=dynamic

	or change the line

		DEFLINKMODE=    static

	to
		DEFLINKMODE=    dynamic

	for your os in DEFAULTS/Defaults.<os_name>

	I am interested in feedback for various OS platforms........


-	The order for compiling the libraries has been changed to make the
	compile process insensitive against old static libraris in the
	library search path.

-	New Schily autoconf text for gettext() and libintl

-	include/schily/nlsdefs.h now also checks for the exstance of HAVE_GETTEXT


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

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

Libfind:

-	libfind no longer uses static global data. This version of libfind
	is the first real library version that even allows to implement
	the find(1) program in less than 200 lines of code.

Libscg:

Rscsi:

Cdrecord:

-	cdrecord now supports to set the layer break for DVD+R/DL.
	This reduces the write time but as there is currently no way
	to specify the layer break by hand, dual layer DVD-Video does
	not yet work.

-	cdrecord -atip now also prints the rzone info for DVD+ media

-	cdrecord -atip now prints more information for DVD-R/DL media

-	cdrecord now also supports to write to DVD-RAM

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

-	Fixed a typo in scsi_cmds.c thanks to Steven M. Schweda for reporting.

Readcd:

Scgcheck:

Scgskeleton:

Btcflash:

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

-	Fixed a buggy error message (a result from the option parser
	rewrite, thanks to Steven M. Schweda for reporting.

-	Makefile now uses $(LIB_INTL) because of gettext() in libfind

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.
