NEW features of cdrtools-2.01.01a59:

*******
NOTE: cdrtools is currently in a state just before a new major release.
        

*******


All:

-       Add -D_GNU_SOURCE to the standard include flags for Linux in order
        to unhide needed extensions.

-       Trying to add support for compilation on WIN64 using cl and gcc

-       Adding support for NT-6.0 (Win Vista) and NT-6.1 (Win 7)

-       Several typo corrections

-       New include file include/schily/wctype.h

-       New autoconf test that checks for the differences between the original
        iconv() implementation from Sun and the deviating POSIX standard.
        This allows to avoid compiler warning messages for mkisofs.

Libschily:

Libparanoia (Ported/enhanced by Jörg Schilling, originated by Monty 
xiphm...@mit.edu):

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

Libcdrdeflt:

Libdeflt:

Libfind:

Libfile:

Libhfs_iso:

Libsiconv:

-       Fixed a copy/paste error from libsiconv. Libsiconv now correctly
        initlizes duplicated data structures to prevent core dumps.
        Thanks to Jörg Sonnenberger for reporting.


Libscg:

Libscgcmd:

Rscsi:

Cdrecord:

-       Better error messages when the media size is unknown

-       Try to work around a firmware bug in the drive:
        'HL-DT-ST' 'DVD-RAM GH22NP20' '1.02'
        that is in effect with DVD+R media.

        ***** ATTENTION *****

        The algorith to fetch the size information from a DVD+R/RW medium was 
changed with this
        release. Please check for and report problems.


-       cdtext.c now checks for empty CD-Text files to prevent a later endless 
loop in cdrecord
        while writing the TOC. Thanks to Sebastian Trüg <tr...@k3b.org> for 
reporting.

-       Man page corrected some problems from hypen -> minus 


Cdda2wav (Maintained/enhanced by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt 
he...@hexco.de):

-       cdda2wav now supports new parameters for the -output-endianess option.
        "host" or "machine" represent the actual byte order of the host CPU in 
the current OS.

-       Fixed a man page bug that did hide some text from the visible result. 
Thanks
        to Michael Prokop

-       Man page corrected some problems from hypen -> minus 

-       Removed some Copyright hints to people who did never really enter code 
into mkisofs

-       Removed a Copyright hint for RSA that is no longer valid.

Readcd:

-       Man page corrected some problems from hypen -> minus 

Scgcheck:

-       Man page corrected some problems from hypen -> minus 

Scgskeleton:

-       Better support for large files (using ftello()/fseeko())

Btcflash:

-       Better support for large files (using ftello()/fseeko())

Mkisofs (Maintained/enhanced by Jörg Schilling since 1997, originated by Eric 
Youngdale):

-       Better error messages in case that a specific charset translation is not
        available.

-       Now using HAVE_ICONV_CONST to avoid iconv() related compiler warnings


        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:
        -       Support correct inode numbers for UDF hardlinks

        -       Support sockets, pipes, char/blk-dev specials with UDF

        -       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:

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.
