NEW features of cdrtools-2.01.01a30:
--------->
******** WARNING! This is a release that introduces _massive_ changes
******** in mkisofs. These changes are not yet and cannot yet be complete
******** and are definitely not tested sufficiently already.
******** If you like to test the recent massive mkisofs enhencements, you
******** are welcome! If you lik a "stable" version, use mkisofs from
******** Cdrtools-2.01.01a27
<--------
All:
- More locale related autoconf tests (see mkisofs)
Libschily:
Libparanoia (Ported/enhanced by Jörg Schilling, originated by Monty xiphmont@mit.edu):
Libedc (Optimized by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de):
Libfind:
Libfile:
Libhfs_iso:
Libsiconv:
Libscg:
- Detect & correctly handle SCSI send permission problems with USCSI and Solaris
Rscsi:
Cdrecord:
- cdrecord -pad cue=file now works as people expect.
Thanks to to Bernd Eggink for reporting
- Workaround for new Solaris behavor for Console users if hald
is active. Give error message and abort instead of useless messages.
- Print Linux 2.6.8 warnings only if there really was a problem.
- Blu Ray driver now supports "cdrecord -atip" to read manufacturer IDs.
- DVD writing works again. Introducing Blu Ray with 2.01.01a29 did cause
problems with DVDs.
- Several MMC-3+ Text strings for profiles and media codes have been added.
Cdda2wav (Maintained/enhanced by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de):
- Workaround for new Solaris behavor for Console users if hald
is active. Give error message and abort instead of useless messages.
Readcd:
Scgcheck:
Scgskeleton:
Btcflash:
- Workaround for new Solaris behavor for Console users if hald
is active. Give error message and abort instead of useless messages.
Mkisofs (Maintained/enhanced by Jörg Schilling since 1997, originated my Eric Youngdale):
- mkisofs now sets up -input-charset to the locale read from the
environment in case that no -input-charset has been specified.
To disable this automatic set up, use -input-charset "".
HELIOS TODO:
- Add better code for ignoring errors. This should be done
using star's error control module, see star/checkerr.c
- Add some code that allows to write media with more than 65535
parent directories, even if this violates ISO-9660 and prevents
DOS from being able to read the resulting FS. This needs to be
done in a way that causes all "overflowing" directories to get
a definitive pointer instead of random values.
- 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.
