cdrtools/AN-3.02a01

***************** Important news ****************************

For the 'Slottable Source Plugin Module' SSPM Features read README.SSPM

***************** Please Test *********************************

NEW features of cdrtools-3.02a01:

This is the first localization step for cdrtools. All programs now (hopefully)
call gettext() for all strings that need localization.

-	The next step will include dgettext() calls for the libraries.

-	The following step will include the extracted strings

-	The last step will include German translations and install support
	for the resulting binary message object files.

----------> Please test and report compilation problems! <---------

***** NOTE: As mentioned since 2004, frontends to cdrtools should *****
*****		call all programs from cdrtools in the "C" locale *****
*****		by e.g. calling: LC_ALL=C cdrecord ....		  *****
*****		unless these frontends support localized strings  *****
*****		used by the cdrtools with NLS support.		  *****

This version compiles on Win-DOS using the Microsoft compiler cl.exe but
warning: due to missing POSIX compliance with basic features (e.g. stat()
does not return inode numbers), there are many problems with the resulting
code and thus it is recommended to better use a POSIX layer on top of 
WIN-DOS.

		*** WARNING        ***
		*** Need new smake ***

	*** Due to the fact that schily-2014-04-03 introduced to use new macro
	*** expansions and a related bug fix in smake, you need a new smake
	*** to compile this source. To ensure this, get a recent "schily"
	*** tarball from http://sourceforge.net/projects/schilytools/files/
	*** and call:

	cd ./psmake
	./MAKE-all
	cd ..
	psmake/smake
	psmake/smake install

	The new smake version mentioned above is smake-1.2.4.
	Note that smake-1.2.5 exists and is preferrable.

	Now you have a new smake that is able to compile this source.

	Note that the major makefile restructuring introduced in
	schily-2014-04-03 is now more than one month ago and thus seems
	to work without problems.

	WARNING: the new version of the isoinfo program makes use of the 
		*at() series of functions that have been introduced by Sun
		in August 2001 and added to POSIX.1-2008. For older platforms,
		libschily now includes emulations for these functions but
		these emulations have not yet been tested thoroughly.
		Please report problems!


All:

-	As the defective typedef for idtype_t is already in NetBSD-5,
	we added a workaround based on a new related autoconf test.
	Thanks to Heiko Ei<45>feldt for reporting.

-	Added support to compile on "Bitrig", an OpenBSD fork for non
	automake aware make implementations like gmake.
	Thanks to Heiko Ei<45>feldt for reporting.

-	Added an autoconf test for tcgetsid()

Libschily:

Libcdrdeflt:

Libdeflt:

Libedc (Optimized by J<>rg Schilling, originated by Heiko Ei<45>feldt heiko@hexco.de):

Libfile:

Libfind:

-	libfind: a final workaround for the problems with vfork() in the linux
	system include files has been introduced and a variable has been declared
	volatile.

-	libfind no longer uses gettext() but dgettext() and thus no longer
	destroys the message binding from the Bourne Shell

-	libfind: find -mtime +2s -mtime +20s now works, as file timestamps
	are now compared to the current time. Before, the current time +60s
	was used - a timestamp that is needed for switching between both 
	time stamp variants for -ls.

Libhfs_iso:

Libmdigest:

Libparanoia (Ported/enhanced by J<>rg Schilling, originated by Monty xiphmont@mit.edu):

-	libparanoia: Make abs() a self defined macro as ISO-C defines abs()
	to be a function with int parameter.
	Thanks to Heiko Ei<45>feldt for reporting.

-	libparanoia: work around a bug that resulted from uninitalized 
	statistics data for C2 checks in case that C2 checking was disabled.
	Thanks to Heiko Ei<45>feldt for reporting.

Libscg:

-	libscg: added a new error code to make search for the right
	device node work again with newer OpenBSD versions.
	Thanks to Heiko Ei<45>feldt.

Libscgcmd:

Libsiconv:

Rscsi:

Cdrecord:

-	The man page now mentions that root-less operation is possible with
	Solaris fine grained privileges or Linux capabilties.

-	The man page now mentions the SCSI CAM standard for dev=

Cdda2wav (Maintained/enhanced by J<>rg Schilling, originated by Heiko Ei<45>feldt heiko@hexco.de):

-	cdda2wav: Comparison of function name with NULL replaced with
	comparison of function pointer with NULL.
	Thanks to Heiko Ei<45>feldt for reporting.

-	cdda2wav: Do no longer initialize the sound card from the main process
	as pulseaudio does not follow UNIX rules for forked processes.
	Thanks to Heiko Ei<45>feldt.

-	cdda2wav: Fixed a bug in the DMA residual computation for the C2 read
	functions where a wrong divisor (2353 instead of 2646) was used.
	Thanks to Heiko Ei<45>feldt for reporting.

-	cdda2wav: Heiko make the audio output work on OpenBSD

-	cdda2wav: Heiko added code for pulseaudio support in Linux

-	cdda2wav: Fixed a typo ("KHz" -> "kHz")

-	cdda2wav: fixed a problem related to position differences between
	the CD extract part and the filesystemwrite part.

-	cdda2wav: We now include "c2check" in the paranoia mode "proof"
	again and fallback to a non-C2 mode in case the drive does not
	support C2checks.

-	The man page now mentions the SCSI CAM standard for dev=

Readcd:

-	The man page now mentions the SCSI CAM standard for dev=

Scgcheck:

Scgskeleton:

Btcflash:

Mkisofs (Maintained/enhanced by J<>rg Schilling since 1997, originated by Eric Youngdale):

-	mkisofs: HFS creation: fixed comparison of array with 0 to become
	comparison of array value with 0.

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:

	-	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:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdrtools/files/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
	http://sourceforge.net/projects/s-tar/files/ of from the schily-*
	tarball at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/schilytools/files/

WARNING: Do not use 'winzip' to extract the tar file!
	Winzip cannot extract symbolic links correctly.
