1 Please have a look at the German open Source Center BerliOS at www.berlios.de
2 BerliOS will continue to support free hosting of cryptography projects even
3 when US laws change and don't allow to host cryptography projects in the USA.
4 Also look at sourcewell.berlios.de, the first Open Source announcement service
5 that itself is implemented as Open Source project.

11 ***************** Please Test *********************************
13 NEW features of cdrtools-2.01.01a02:
16 NOTE: this is _not_ a release that starts a new aplha/beta series of dirtibutions.
17 The only reason is to add certain new CD/DVD features that are important.
19 So _please_ do not send any patches except when you like to fix extreme bugs.
20 I am currently mainly working on stable incremental restore featurs for star-1.5-final.
21 Once star-1.5-final is out, cdrtools will start a new developent cycle.
26 - Now using "makefiles-1.5"
28 - Compilation on OS/ should work again (-Zexe -> -o xxx.$(EXEEXT)
30 - Sleeptime to allow reading Gmake warning reduced to 2 seconds.
31 I am still waiting for GNU make to fix the bugs I did report in 1999.
33 - Support for 'make DESTDIR=xxx install' added
35 - Workaround for a Shell Bug on BSDi
37 - Install workaround for the fact that BSDI has chown(1) in /usr/sbin/
39 - cc-config shell script reworked
41 - Better configure tests for procfs include files
43 - Configure tests for fchown, chmod, fchmod, lchmod, futimes, lutimes
45 - Configure tests for fdopendir
47 - Configure tests for broken ext2fs includes files in Linux kernel
49 - Better SRCROOT search function in makefiles shell scripts
53 - New autoconf tests for broken <linux/ext2_fs.h>, <scsi/scsi.h> & <scsi/sg.h>
54 on various Linux systems
57 Libparanoia (Ported by Jörg Schilling, originated by Monty xiphmont@mit.edu):
59 Libedc (Optimized by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de):
63 - Trying to introduce a workaround for broken <scsi/scsi.h> & <scsi/sg.h>
64 on various Linux systems.
66 - Trying to introduce a workaround for the changed SCSI generic Linux
67 Kernel interface from Linux-2.6.8.1 and newer.
69 Be very careful with testing. The Linux adption layer for libscg
70 is already full of workarounds for bugs, unstable interfaces and
71 unwillingness of the Linux Kernel maintainers to give access to the
72 needed information for libscg. I am not sure whether this workaround
73 will not have problems. It has been tested on a Pegasus PPC running
80 - Allow the -shorttrack option for RAW mode, thanks to a report
83 - Enhance the minimal grace time from 2 to 3 seconds to make sure
84 that cdrecord will not get out of sync with locks from the
85 Volume management system.
87 - Better checks and better error messages for /etc/default/cdrecord
89 - Correct verbose print mode for old pre-MMC TEAC drives.
91 - Added support for Ultra speed+ CD-RW media recognition and a check
92 whether the drive supports Ultra speed+ CD-RW media.
93 (Thanks to Alexander Noé).

104 Mkisofs (By Jörg Schilling and James Pearson j.pearson@ge.ucl.ac.uk):
106 - Better error messages with wrong Eltorito boot options
108 - Man page is now more explicit about requirements for DVD-video
111 - Better warning text for missing Rock Ridge in multi.c
113 - Bugs in README.sunx86boot corrected
115 - Multi Volume code for reading old image now gives different
116 error messages on read errors and short reads.
118 - Diagnostic programs isodump, isoinfo, ... no longer dump core
119 when called with dev=<SCSI addr> parameters.
122 - read Joliet filenames with multi-session if no TRANS.TBL
123 or RR is present. I am looking for a volouteer for this task!
125 Note that this can never be 100% correct as there is no relation
126 between the names on the master (UNIX) filesystem, the ISO-9660
127 names and the Joliet names. Only the Rock Ridge names are
128 untranslated with respect to the original files on the
129 master (UNIX) filesystem.
131 - add libecc/edc for CDI and similar.
136 To compile on Cygwin32, get Cygwin and install it.

143 NOTE: These tar archives are 100% POSIX compatible. GNU tar may get some
144 minor trouble. If you like a 100% POSIX compliant tar, get star from
