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-2.01.01a26:

*******
NOTE: this is _not_ a release that starts a new aplha/beta series of
	distibutions. 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:

-	Now using cdrecord/version.h for the global version number

-	New autoconf test for struct timeval in sys/time.h

-	New autoconf test for struct timezone in sys/time.h

-	Changed include/schily/time.h to depend on the 
	new autoconf #defines HAVE_STRUCT_TIMEVAL and
	HAVE_STRUCT_TIMEZONE

-	The Schily makefile system is now also passing OS
	specific #defines to "configure".

-	New Schily makefile system Target shell allows to
	call "make shell" in order to get a shell with exactly
	the same environment as the compilers will see from
	the makefile system. This helps testing.

-	New autoconf test checks whether we need to call
	"xx.exe" on a plaform. This is needed in order to
	be able to call the Microsoft compiler from the
	SFU (Services for UNIX) environment.

-	It is now possible to call the Microsoft compiler
	from SFU. In order to do this, call "smake CCOM=cl"

	If this does not work, you may need to change the
	file DEFAULTS/vc7-interix-setup

Libschily:


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

-	Fixed a typo in paranoia_init() that gas been introduced with 2.01.01a24
	This bug did cause a core dump.
	Thanks to Robert Grimm <rob@news.robgri.de> for reporting.


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

Libfind:

-	Fixed a bug in names.c that caused nameinit() to go into an endless
	recursion and dump core if there is no "nobody" in /etc/passwd.
	This bug has been introduced recently.


Libfile:

Libhfs_iso:

Libscg:

Rscsi:

Cdrecord:

-	Trying to work around a Pioneer firmware bug that causes cdrecord to write
	DVDs at lowest speed.

-	Reset SCSI silent mode after cdrecord did use the auto-mode (no dev= parameter)
	to find the drive. This again gives visible error messages.


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

Readcd:

Scgcheck:

Scgskeleton:

Btcflash:

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

-	added a better error message from Helios in volume.c

-	The timezone bug (first fixed in 2.01.01a24 has now been fixed 
	correctly and works even if the timezone is located east to GMT.


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