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-2.01.01a02:

*******
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:

-	Now using "makefiles-1.5"

-	Compilation on OS/ should work again (-Zexe -> -o xxx.$(EXEEXT)

-	Sleeptime to allow reading Gmake warning reduced to 2 seconds.
	I am still waiting for GNU make to fix the bugs I did report in 1999.

-	Support for 'make DESTDIR=xxx install' added

-	Workaround for a Shell Bug on BSDi

-	Install workaround for the fact that BSDI has chown(1) in /usr/sbin/

-	cc-config shell script reworked

-	Better configure tests for procfs include files

-	Configure tests for fchown, chmod, fchmod, lchmod, futimes, lutimes

-	Configure tests for fdopendir

-	Configure tests for broken ext2fs includes files in Linux kernel

-	Better SRCROOT search function in makefiles shell scripts

-	libunls reworked

-	New autoconf tests for broken <linux/ext2_fs.h>, <scsi/scsi.h> & <scsi/sg.h>
	on various Linux systems


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

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

Libscg:

-	Trying to introduce a workaround for broken <scsi/scsi.h> & <scsi/sg.h>
	on various Linux systems.

-	Trying to introduce a workaround for the changed SCSI generic Linux
	Kernel interface from Linux-2.6.8.1 and newer.

	Be very careful with testing. The Linux adption layer for libscg
	is already full of workarounds for bugs, unstable interfaces and
	unwillingness of the Linux Kernel maintainers to give access to the
	needed information for libscg. I am not sure whether this workaround
	will not have problems. It has been tested on a Pegasus PPC running
	Linux-2.6.8.1

Rscsi:

Cdrecord:

-	Allow the -shorttrack option for RAW mode, thanks to a report
	from Sebastian Trueg

-	Enhance the minimal grace time from 2 to 3 seconds to make sure
	that cdrecord will not get out of sync with locks from the 
	Volume management system.

-	Better checks and better error messages for /etc/default/cdrecord

-	Correct verbose print mode for old pre-MMC TEAC drives.

-	Added support for Ultra speed+ CD-RW media recognition and a check
	whether the drive supports Ultra speed+ CD-RW media.
	(Thanks to Alexander Noé).

Scgcheck:

Scgskeleton:

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

-	Better error messages with wrong Eltorito boot options

-	Man page is now more explicit about requirements for DVD-video
	directory trees.

-	Better warning text for missing Rock Ridge in multi.c

-	Bugs in README.sunx86boot corrected

-	Multi Volume code for reading old image now gives different
	error messages on read errors and short reads.

-	Diagnostic programs isodump, isoinfo, ... no longer dump core 
	when called with dev=<SCSI addr> parameters.

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.
