- NEW features of cdrecord-1.8a22:
-
- ALL:
-
- - README.ATAPI changed to reflect actual Linux versions.
-
- - Use Bit field order definitions from previous autoconf run
- rather than using static definitions.
-
- - Added a new type __SBOOL to be able to deal with BOOL definition
- from Windows.h
-
- - Added support for compiling cdrecord on SCO Openserver.
- Using usleep() from libc would kill the process with SIGALRM.
- We now simulate usleep() with select().
-
- - This is the first release of cdrtools that support SCO Openserver
- without manual intervention to the source.
-
- - This is the first source release of cdrtools that support
- WNT / W98 / W95.
-
- Cdrtools has no known limitations on Win32.
-
- The FIFO code from cdrecord and cdda2wav is fully supported,
- even 'mkisofs | cdrecord' works. If you want to make multi-session
- CD's on WIn32, you need to use the SCSI code os the mkisofs
- from the cdrtools package. Use mkisofs -M 0,6,0 to access
- a drive on target 6.
-
- cdrecord:
-
- - New option -atip will print ATIP as a stand alone task.
-
- - pr_manufacturer()/disk_rcap() now uses rw and audio parameter
- to distinguish between metal and organic dye
-
- - Old Philips driver now prints Restricted/Unrestricted ATIP info too.
-
- - Trying to clear MMC drive status after a possible -dummy run.
- This helps to avoid reloading the media after a -dummy run.
- But it does not work with all drives.
-
- - Index handling for MMC DAO - not yet fully activated for end users ;-)
-
- - Philips CDD-2xxx driver now distinguishes between audio and data disks
-
- - Better Priority handling for OS/2
-
- - Added wildcart expansion for EMX on OS/2 and non POSIX shells
-
- - Now setting STDIN to O_BINARY if reading from stdin.
- This allows
- mkisofs | cdrecord
-
- to work correctly on WNT and OS/2
-
- - For DAO, fixed pregap handling for mixed mode CD's where the
- first track is a data track.
-
- - Help Adrian Schroeter <krabber@gmx.de> http://members.tripod.com/~fehlfarben
- by adding inquiry code for thr Ricoh RO-1060C
-
-
-
- readcd:
-
-
- mkisofs:
-
- - SCSI read function now checks for drive's sector size and
- recalculates the number of sectors to transfer.
-
- - SCSI read function now checks if the amount of sectors to be
- transferred exceed the maximum transfer size for SCSI requests
- on the actual system.
-
- This could happen when doing multi-session in filesystems
- that have really big directories.
-
- - Fixed a bug with filename handling that was only present with
- IRIX (unsigned char) and character code >= 0x80
-
- cdda2wav:
-
- o bugfix: -w (wait) should work now with the -B (Bulkcopy) option.
- o workaround: modified all floating point printing formats to integer (glibc/joerglib collision)
- o porting: introduced O_BINARY for Win-NT, Win95/98, DOS, OS/2 platforms for binary writes
- o workaround: swapped parent/child tasks to get SCSI access working (cygwin/ASPI)
- o cdda2wav is now working under WIN-NT with FIFO (probably under Win95/98 too)
- checked with ASPI32 and ATAPI and SCSI drives.
- o Beginnings of a web page (with a hyperlinked FAQ)
- www.escape.de/users/colossus/cdda2wav.html
-
- Linux NOTES:
-
- Better handling for the SCSI status byte is supported with the enhanced Linux sg driver interface.
- Look for:
- ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/alpha/SG-2.2.tar.gz (Linux-2.2)
- ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/alpha/SG.patch.tar.gz (Linux-2.0 & 2.1)
-
-
- 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.
