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-2.01.01a31:

--------->
******** WARNING! This is a release that introduces _massive_ changes
******** in mkisofs. These changes are not yet and cannot yet be complete
******** and are definitely not tested sufficiently already.
******** If you like to test the recent massive mkisofs enhencements, you
******** are welcome! If you lik a "stable" version, use mkisofs from
******** Cdrtools-2.01.01a27
<--------

*******
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.

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:

Libfile:

Libhfs_iso:

Libsiconv:

Libscg:

Rscsi:

Cdrecord:

-	New code to better print speed performance values
	with cdrecord -prcap
	Note: The 'MATSHITA' 'BD-MLT SW-5582  ' seems for unknown
	reason not to support to retrieve the current read/write speed
	values via get_performance.

-	cdrecord -minfo now prints "Mounted media class" and 
	"Mounted media type" name.

-	Fixed a bug in auto-target mode introduced with 2.01.01a30
	Cdrecord now again is able to work wihtout a dev= parameter.


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

-	Fixed a bug in auto-target mode introduced with 2.01.01a30
	Cdda2wav now again is able to work wihtout a dev= parameter.

Readcd:

-	Fixed a bug in auto-target mode introduced with 2.01.01a30
	Readcd now again is able to work wihtout a dev= parameter.

Scgskeleton:

Btcflash:

Mkisofs (Maintained/enhanced by Jörg Schilling since 1997, originated my Eric Youngdale):

-	New option -no-limit-pathtables allows to create filesystems with
	more than 65535 parent directories. Note that this makes the filesystem
	violating ISO9660 and the filesystem will not be usable on DOS.

-	New option errctl=name or errctl=control-spec similar as in star.

	This option allows e.g. to tell mkisofs not to abort if a file
	did grow or shrink while mkisofs was reading it.

	Currently only OPEN, READ, GROW, SHRINK are implemented more to come
	later...


	HELIOS TODO:

	-	Add the HELIOS UNICODE mapping code. This needs to be done 
		at UCS-2 level for Joliet and UDF (instead of UTF-8) and only
		for Rock Ridge (in case of a UTF-8 based target locale) using
		UTF-8 based translations.

	-	Make the Apple extensions work again with "mkisofs -find"

TODO:
	-	Support correct inode numbers for UDF hardlinks

	-	Support sockets, pipes, char/blk-dev specials with UDF

	-	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!
	Winzip cannot extract symbolic links correctly.
