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 *********************************

NEW features of cdrtools-2.01.01a18:

*******
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:

-	Fixed some files that did include <avoffset.h> instead of <schily/avoffset.h>

-	Trying to make the floating point printf() support functions work
	on systems that implement C99 only with no fallback.

	As this change is a result from a report from a person that does not like
	to cooperate, I was not able to test on the reported AIX-5.x platform.
	Also note that this change may result in problems on other platforms.
	Please test and report!


-	The Schily Makefilesystem now includes environment definitions
	for the Microsoft Studio 8 compiler. If you like to edit these
	definitions, check the DEFAULTS directory

-	Next step in supporting Microsoft C-compilers: build in environment
	set up for the MS compilers. To compile with the MS C-Compiler,
	set up a Cygwin environment and compile a Cygwin 'smake'.
	Then use this smake to comile with the MS C-compiler by calling:

	smake CCOM=cl

	This defaults to VC7. If you like to use VC6, call:

	smake CCOM=cl VC=6

	Note that smake itself (if compiled with "cl") will not work, as
	MS does not implement a reliable way to pass a quoted arg vector
	to a new program.

	Note that cdrtools do not yet completely compile with MSVC. This
	is mostly caused by missing standard comliance in the MS C-compilers.

Cdrecord:

-	Fixed a bug introduced with 2.01.01a17 that caused cdrecord to complain about
	an illegal layer breadk value if called with a single layer DVD and another
	driveropts= option. Thanks to Monika Schillling ms@mschilling.com

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

-	Implement a new "correct inode number" algorithm for zero length files.

-	Implement a fingerprint that allows to check whether a ISO-9660 file 
	system image has been created by a new mkisofs and inplements the
	new "correct inode number" algorithm.

-	Implementing the new Rock Ridge (rrip) protocol version 1.12 from 1994.
	Mkisofs before implemented the old rrip version 1.10 from 1993.

-	New option -rrip110 to disable the "new" 1994 Rock Ridge version.

	This option may be needed if you know of a system that does not deal with
	RRip V-1.12. Currently no such system is known.

-	Using better (more portable) values for some special "inode" numbers.

-	Implement correct hard link counts for directories and files with Rock Ridge

-	Mkisofs cannot live without libschily anymore. For this reason, the
	#ifdef USE_LIBSCHILY code has been removed.

-	Better & faster hashing:

	-	Better hach function in hash.c for more balanced hash tree

	-	Number of hash root entries enhanced from 1024 to 16*1024

	-	Avoid string compare in find_file_hash()

-	Corrected check algorithm, for non-zero-length files that are assigned
	to a zero extent

-	Avoid uncached entries to clash with real inode numbers.

-	Print correct number of written extents in multi session mode.

-	All ISO-9660 numbers now correctly use the type UInt32_t 

-	Convert type of all extent number related variables to UInt32_t

-	Use inode caching by default on newer Cygwin releases that use
	64 bit inode numbers.

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.
