- NEW features of cdrecord-1.8a19:
-
- cdrecord:
-
- - New option -force allows to blank defective CD-RW's
- that otherwise would cause cdrecord to complain about
- a media with non recoverable TOC errors.
-
- - Fixed a typo that prevented compilation of cdrecord.c with
- K&R compilers.
-
- - Fixed a bug with ISRC's in DAO mode.
-
- - Fixed a bug with non page aligned buffers if the FIFO was
- present. This caused problems with FreeBSD/current/CAM
- due to the fact that the max. number of DMA pages was
- exceeded.
-
- - 5 new CD blank manufacturers added to the list of the decoder
-
- - Add code to read back the used writing speed from MMC drives.
- This allows to call cdrecord speed=4 on a CD-RW and to read
- Starting to write CD/DVD at speed 2 ....
-
- - Added support for -toc on the Philips CDD-522
-
- readcd:
-
- - New. This is currently a stripped down version of scgskeleton.
- Unlike its brother, it compiles on all OS.
- readcd allows you to read data CD's. Because it ignores the
- CD disk label, it may be used to copy Solaris boot CD's.
-
- Call:
-
- readcd [target] [lun] [scsibusno]
-
- Select function 11 to copy a CD to a file. If you are trying
- to copy a CD-R that has been made in TAO mode, modify the
- value for Number of sectors to copy by subtracting '2' from the
- displayed default value.
-
- mkisofs:
-
- - upgraded to mkisofs-1.12b5 which is not really very different
- from the mkisofd-1.12b4 that was in this package before.
- mkisofs-1.12b5 now includes my patches and offeres some
- new enhancements as shown below:
-
- - mkisofs now is able to create a new session that is not
- related to a startsector '0'. This now makes it easy to
- create a CD+ where the first session contains audio and the second
- session contains a ISO-9660 filesystem.
- Use "mkisofs -C0,xxx ...."
- and ommit -Mdevice to use this new feature.
-
- - Check for overflow in the Joliet directory tables.
-
- - changed UNICODE level for Joliet
- As mkisofs just "expands" 8 bit character codes to 16 bits and does
- nothing special with the Unicode characters, therefore shouldn't mkisofs
- really be stating that it's using UCS-2 Level 1, not Level 3 for
- the Joliet directory tree.
-
-
- cdda2wav:
-
- Features:
- o fixed an ugly bug with premature death of the writer process.
- leading to shortened last tracks.
- o changed the speed default from 0 to 0xffff (for maximum speed)
- o enhanced cd text detection
- o added the creator field for cd text output
- o increased the version number :-)
- o added a new file NEEDED to guide all our sponsors :-)
- o clean ups
-
- Features/Changes compared to cdrtools-1.8a18:
- o bug fix: fixed the premature end bug finally
- o bug fix: endian detection for big endian machines works now
- o bug fix: undid a debugging change in the sectorsize handling
- o treat broken start sector address of first track as zero
- o cd text: fixed crc calculation
- o cd text: better detection
- o cd text: added the creator display (but ugly yet)
- o new default: audio file name for Sun (now .au instead of .sun)
- -Osun works now as well as -Oau, (format is unchanged)
- o new default: plextor drives default to non overlap
- o new default: speed is 0xffff (maximum for mmc drives)
- this might not work with other drives, it seems difficult to default
- to a good value for all drives. Relaxed speed checks.
- The user specified value is used as is.
- o optimisation: use minimum of process communication overhead
- o optimisation: use page aligned transfer buffers (less memcpys)
- o optimisation: now default for 4 buffers instead of 2
- o optimisation: use minimum of endianess changes
- o optimisation: omitted the early sync() call (was a precaution)
- o optimisation: reduced frequency of screen updates
- o misc: minor INF file changes

- CYGWIN NT-4.0 NOTES:
-
- To compile on Cygwin32, get Cygwin32-beta20 and install it.
- then create a symlink from /bin to the .../bin directory where bash is located.
- Now run 'make' ...
-
- The files are located on:
-
- ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/alpha ...
-
- NOTE: These tar archives are 100% ansi compatible. Solaris 2.x tar and GNU
- tar may get some minor trouble.
-
- WARNING: Do not use 'mc' to extract the tar file!
- All mc versions before 4.0.14 cannot extract symbolic links correctly.
