cdrtools/AN-3.02a04

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

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

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

NEW features of cdrtools-3.02a04:

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:

-	Added new files RULES/os-mingw32_nt-6.*.id

-	include/schily/stdint.h Better comment on how to set up an unsigned
	with the positive value of TYPE_MINVAL(type).


Libschily:

-	libschily: New file astoul.c

-	libschily: astoi.c now supports ERANGE and parsing TYPE_MINVAL(long)

-	libschily: astoll.c now supports ERANGE and parsing TYPE_MINVAL(long long)

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

-	mkisofs/diag/isoinfo.c: fixed directory loop recognition.

-	mkisofs/diag/isoinfo.c: now adds write permission to directories only
	temporarily.

-	mkisofs/diag/isovfy.c add a directory loop recognition to avoid
	endless loops that eat up all memory with file system images that
	contain loops.

-	mkisofs: make sure that the stream media filename honors the
	-omit-version-number option

-	mkisofs: use the correct directory size for the stream media filename.
	mkisofs did write 1 Byte too few data in case of an odd file name length.

-	mkisofs/diag all diagnostic helper programs had a typo in the usage()
	speficied instead of specified

-	mkisofs + diag all diagnostic helper programs have been vulnerable
	to endless loops when a defective iso image with Rock Ridge was read.
	Thanks to Heiko Ei<45>feldt for running related automated tests.

-	mkisofs: avoid an endless loop in multi session mode and with certain
	defective ISO filesystem images.

-	mkisofs now includes DVD-Audio support. To impelemt this, the automated
	sort routine for DVD/audio/video has been replaced. If there are any
	problems, please recompile with "smake COPTX=-DOLD_DVD_WEIGHTS" test
	and report.

	IMPORTANT: This modification may affect the rare but exitent problem
	with DVD-Video that aborts with:

		"Implementation botch. Video pad for file %s is %d\n"

	because of a negative patch value. It may be that the old weighting
	algorith let some files slip through the mesh and did not sort them
	so such a file could appear on a wrong position on the medium. Please
	test and report.



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.
