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-2.01.01a04:
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 - astoull*() new in schily.h
28 - utypes.h now has MAX_ and MIN_ value definitions for all basic
31 - Using Makefiles-1.5a02
33 - Support added to compile in 64 bit mode on Solaris Sparc.
36 - Support added to compile shared libraries with version
37 numbers for interface levels and make inofficial "interfaces"
40 - Prevent gmake to go into an enless loop on Solaris
41 in case that /usr/ucb/tr is before /usr/bin/tr in PATH
43 - Better autoconf error message ion case that the expected
44 C-compiler could not be found.
46 - Mac OS X now installs files as root:wheel
48 - Supply linker mapfiles for all libraries. This allows cdrtools
49 to be compiles using shared libraries only and to properly
50 hide inofficial interfaces on Solaris (using ls)
51 Note that this feature is not available with GNU ld
54 Libparanoia (Ported by Jörg Schilling, originated by Monty xiphmont@mit.edu):
56 Libedc (Optimized by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de):
60 - Autoconf test for broken Linux sg.h headers added
62 - if libscg is compiles on newer Solaris systems, the warning:
64 "Warning: Volume management is running, medialess managed drives are invisible.\n"
68 Since Solaris 11 Build 21, vold no longer hides empty drives
69 that are under volume management. This now allows cdrecord to be even
70 used to close the tray while vold is running.
72 The criteria used to decide whether Solaris is "recent enough" is
74 The definition SEEK_HOLE has been added with Solaris 11 Build 14
75 while the fixed vold appears in Solaris 11 Build 21.
77 - Support for root-less cdrecord using fine-grained privileges.
78 Remote SCSI not tests for PRIV_NET_PRIVADDR instead of (geteuid() == 0)
80 If you like all users to be able to call cdrecord root-less, you need
83 Edit the file /etc/security/exec_attr and add:
85 All:solaris:cmd:::/opt/schily/bin/cdrecord: privs=file_dac_read,sys_devices,proc_lock_memory,proc_priocntl,net_privaddr
86 All:solaris:cmd:::/opt/schily/bin/readcd: privs=file_dac_read,sys_devices,net_privaddr
87 All:solaris:cmd:::/opt/schily/bin/cdda2wav: privs=file_dac_read,sys_devices,net_privaddr
89 If you like to allow only specific user to use cdrecord,
92 CD RW:solaris:cmd:::/opt/schily/bin/cdrecord: privs=file_dac_read,sys_devices,proc_lock_memory,proc_priocntl,net_privaddr
94 instead and make the users members of the profile "CD RW"
95 by adding a line like:
97 joerg::::profiles=CD RW
101 Note that you either need to call cdrecord via "pfexec cdrecord ....."
102 or by using a profile aware shell (e.g. /usr/bin/pfksh)
108 - Correctly evaluate the write speeds for Ultra speed+ CD-RW media.
109 This prevents wrong warnings that the "drive does not support Ultra speed+"
111 - Fixed a typo in the driveropts=help messages
114 Cdda2wav (By Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de):
116 - Added a workaround for the _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING behavior
117 on MacosX: defined but not supported#
118 Thanks to: Emanuele Giaquinta <e.giaquinta@glauco.it>
120 - Bugfix: cdda2wav did previously chose to ignore the result of realloc(3)
121 This prevents core-dumps.
129 Mkisofs (By Jörg Schilling and James Pearson j.pearson@ge.ucl.ac.uk):
131 - mkisofs now detects if a file grows or shrinks while being
136 - read Joliet filenames with multi-session if no TRANS.TBL
137 or RR is present. I am looking for a volouteer for this task!
139 Note that this can never be 100% correct as there is no relation
140 between the names on the master (UNIX) filesystem, the ISO-9660
141 names and the Joliet names. Only the Rock Ridge names are
142 untranslated with respect to the original files on the
143 master (UNIX) filesystem.
145 - add libecc/edc for CDI and similar.
150 To compile on Cygwin32, get Cygwin and install it.
151 For more information read README.win32
153 The files are located on:
155 ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha ...
157 NOTE: These tar archives are 100% POSIX compatible. GNU tar may get some
158 minor trouble. If you like a 100% POSIX compliant tar, get star from
159 ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/star/
161 WARNING: Do not use 'winzip' to extract the tar file!
162 Winzip cannot extract symbolic links correctly.
