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-2.01.01a22:

*******
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:

-	Correctly cast all open(name, oflag, 0666) calls to:
	open(name, oflag, (mode_t)0666) as open is a vararg function.

Libschily:

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

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

Libfind:

Libscg:

-	Try to deal with broken Linux distributions that do not provide a "HZ" macro
	in /usr/include/sys/param.h

-	Use USER_HZ in favor of HZ (if available) for computing SCSI timeout values.

-	Disable automatic ATA (dev(hd*) integration and scan on pre-Linux-2.6 systems.

-	Try to skip non-POSIX compliant EROFS error codes when opening /dev/hd*

Rscsi:

Cdrecord:

-	prdiskstatus() which is supporting cdrecord -minfo is now a globally implemented
	function.

-	cdrecord -minfo extended to print TOC related media info.
	The new option -minfo is now almost complete.

-	cdrecord -scanbus now defaults to scan 1024 SCSI busses in case that the "numbus"
	function is not yet available on a remote RSCSI server.

-	Make cdrecord -msinfo print the right values for "multi-session" (multi-border)
	DVD-R and DVD+R.

-	cdrecord -atip output for DVD media enhanced and updated for DVD+R/DL & HD-DVD

Cdda2wav (Maintained/enhanced by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de):

-	cdda2wav -scanbus now defaults to scan 1024 SCSI busses in case that the "numbus"
	function is not yet available on a remote RSCSI server.

Readcd:

-	readcd -scanbus now defaults to scan 1024 SCSI busses in case that the "numbus"
	function is not yet available on a remote RSCSI server.


Scgcheck:

Scgskeleton:

Btcflash:

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

-	New options -posix-H/-posix-L/-posix-P implement the -H/-L/-P options
	defined by POSIX.1-2001 for descending commands like ls/chmod/chown/find/pax/...

	Future versions of mkisofs will implement these options under their original
	names -H/-L/-P. The current version of mkisofs cannot implement them as
	previous versions did implement different functionality with -H and -P.

-	mkisofs called without any parameters or called with an illegal option
	now prints a short overview of the most important options in 80x24 chars.


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.
