NEW features of cdrtools-2.01.01a64:

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

*******


All:

-       The schily makefilesystem now by default sets all locale related 
envronment
        variables to "C" in order to avoid problems.

-       Make the makefile emulation mode for "non-automake aware" make programs
        like SunPro Make and GNU make more immune against oddities in the tr(1)
        program that are seen with a locale that differs from LC_ALL=C
        Another step to prevent some tr(1) oddities was to replace the call to
        tr(1) by a call to sed(1).

-       Added GMAKE_NOWARN=true to allow to disable the gmake warning

-       Enhanced include/schily/priv.h to distinct Solaris and AIX process 
privileges

-       New include file include/schily/math.h

-       Try to workaound a problem with GCC on newer AIX versions. It seems that
        e.g. gcc on AIX is not C99 compliant and does not support isnan().

        Note that the current solution may compile and run on newer AIX versions
        but does not seem to be the optimal solution as it cannot check whether
        a float is a number or not.

        It is unfortunate, that we do not have an AIX login that would allow
        to implement better AIX support.

Libscg:

-       The low level SCSI transport code for Mac OS X has been reworked.

        The code now supports cdrecord -scanbus

        The code now supports cdrecord's autotarget mode

        The code now supports to communicate with BluRay drives

        The code now prints a longer help text that instructs what to do in 
order
        to work against the "diskarbitrationd" program on Mac OS that tries to 
        steal us our hardware. 

        If someone is able and willing to help, please send mail!

        I like to be able to tell "diskarbitrationd" to give up specific drives
        and to set up shared access.

-       The cdrecord man page now mentions that the -clone mode is a bad idea 
to copy
        audio CDs.

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

        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.
