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.

NEW features of cdrtools-2.01.01a21:

*******
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 makefile system now supports the Winsock library

Libschily:

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

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

Libfind:

-	Is now quiet on NFSv4 ACLs (ZFS) although it still does not support them.

Libscg:

-	Bumped libscg version to 0.9

-	Trying to support FreeBSD Kernel under non-FreeBSD (GNU) userland

-	New interface function scg_numbus() returns the number of SCSI busses.

-	Trying to work around a Linux design problem that has been introduced
	about 3 years ago when Linux stopped to support an orthogonal SCSI
	Kernel transport for all SCSI devices. Since then, ATAPI drives are
	handled different from other SCSI devices. The problem is that
	the linux maintainers intentionally reduce the information that
	is available in the kernel and this way prevent to allow libscg to
	only show only unique drives.

	libscg now tries to map ATAPI drives to SCSI bus numbers >= 1000.
	cdrecord -scanbus should now show even ATAPI drives. This allows
	cdrecord/readcd/cdda2wav to implement the auto-target feature even
	on Linux.
	

Rscsi:

-	New interface function scg_numbus() returns the number of SCSI busses.
	This is implemented via the new emote function "N".

Cdrecord:

-	The messages for the auto-target function are now printed on stderr
	to avoid problems with merged output from stdout.

-	The atip information now includes enhanced rzone information
	with dual layer values.

-	struct rzone_info now includes the DVD/DL enhancements from MMC

-	print_diskinfo() enhanced for DVD support

-	New option -minfo/-media-info to print Media information/status


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

-	Trying to support FreeBSD Kernel under non-FreeBSD (GNU) userland

-	The messages for the auto-target function are now printed on stderr
	to avoid problems with merged output from stdout.

Readcd:

-	The messages for the auto-target function are now printed on stderr
	to avoid problems with merged output from stdout.

Scgcheck:

Scgskeleton:

Btcflash:

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

-	Trying to support FreeBSD Kernel under non-FreeBSD (GNU) userland

-	Now correctly default to "mac-roman" coding with Apple HFS.

-	Trying to better support correct graft-point handling after 
	2.01.01a20 is the first release that correctly handles the vanilla case
	Thanks to a hint from Udo Büdel

-	Trying to better handle overlapping directory names.
	Thanks to a hint from Thomas Flock

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.
