NEW features of cdrtools-2.1a01:

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 *********************************

All:

-	Support for the ELF format in BSDi 4.x

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


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


Libscg:


Rscsi:

-	Support for IPv6

-	Correct a debug printing to go to stderr instead of stdout.


Cdda2wav (By Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de):


Readcd:


Scgcheck:


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

-	First attempt to support ISO-9660:1998 (Version 2) via -iso-level 4
	This allows 207 chars in filenames if Rock Ridge is not used
	ans 197 207 chars in filenames if Rock Ridge is used.

	Note that this as an absolutely nontrivial change. Problems may 
	even occur when not using -iso-level 4. Please test and report
	problems.

	It is not clear whether mkisofs should characters in the range
	outside 7-Bit ASCII. Currently, mkisofa allows any 7-Bit ASCII
	character except '\0' and '/'.

TODO:
	-	read Joliet filenames with multi-session if no TRANS.TBL
		or RR is present. I am looking for a volouteer for this task:
		Peter Berendi <berendi2@webdesign.hu> announced that he likes
		to be the volounteer for this task.

		Unfortunately, I did no hear again from him, but I got
		a proposal from
		"Krisztian Gede" <nameless@mail.datanet.hu>
		who also likes to do the job.

		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.

	-	implement Yellow book compliant XA extended dir attributes

	-	add libecc/edc for CDI and similar.
		This may not be needed if we ise VCDimager and recent
		cdrecord versions.


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% ansi compatible. Solaris 2.x tar and GNU
	tar may get some minor trouble.

WARNING: Do not use 'mc' to extract the tar file!
	All mc versions before 4.0.14 cannot extract symbolic links correctly.
