This isn't really an update. The program has been crippled out of fear
of legal issues. Looks like older versions available for download from
the site have been altered in a similar manner. I'd keep 0.95b3
around. I doubt if any bug fixes are worth the step backwards, as
development of EAC has seemingly all but stopped.
>From the included "Whatsnew.txt":
Code:
--------------------
Whats New
The german magazin c't published an article whether
EAC is or is not violating a german law against
circumvention of copy protections on audio CDs. Some
of the experts they asked had the opinion that the
function of retrieving the native TOC is at best
working at the limit of legality. Due to that article
and to eliminate any possibility of legal problems,
I decided to remove that function (although I am pretty
sure that it is absolutely legal). I always try to make
21-Feb-06 sure to be fully compliant with german law, even if
I would interpret the law absolutely differently.
Anyway, there are at least some few bug-fixes in this
update, e.g. creating an image having the artist and CD
title as filename will now show the file dialog
properly when special characters are used.
For the next version it is still planned to add
test & copy of CD images and for the version after that
I will try to implement Unicode support for freedb
queries and main window display and edit.
I am sorry about all this, but please understand
my point of view.
