Please have a look at the German open Source Center BerliOS at www.berlios.de BerliOS will continue to support free hosting of cryptography projects even when US laws change and don't allow to host cryptography projects in the USA. Also look at sourcewell.berlios.de, the first Open Source announcement service that itself is implemented as Open Source project. ***************** Important news **************************** For the 'Slottable Source Plugin Module' SSPM Features read README.SSPM ***************** Please Test ********************************* NEW features of cdrtools-3.01a23: This is the first localization step for cdrtools. All programs now (hopefully) call gettext() for all strings that need localization. - The next step will include dgettext() calls for the libraries. - The following step will include the extracted strings - The last step will include German translations and install support for the resulting binary message object files. ----------> Please test and report compilation problems! <--------- ***** NOTE: As mentioned since 2004, frontends to cdrtools should ***** ***** call all programs from cdrtools in the "C" locale ***** ***** by e.g. calling: LC_ALL=C cdrecord .... ***** ***** unless these frontends support localized strings ***** ***** used by the cdrtools with NLS support. ***** This version compiles on Win-DOS using the Microsoft compiler cl.exe but warning: due to missing POSIX compliance with basic features (e.g. stat() does not return inode numbers), there are many problems with the resulting code and thus it is recommended to better use a POSIX layer on top of WIN-DOS. All: - Typo fix in README.compile for the mail address. Thanks to Dennis Clarke for the catch! Libschily: - libschily/sleep.c and libschily/usleep.c have been modified to work with MinGW. Libparanoia (Ported/enhanced by Jörg Schilling, originated by Monty xiphmont@mit.edu): Libedc (Optimized by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de): Libcdrdeflt: Libdeflt: Libfind: Libfile: Libhfs_iso: Libmdigest: Libsiconv: Libscg: Libscgcmd: Libmdigest: Rscsi: Cdrecord: - The timediff function now in addition prints the time diff in hours : minutes : seconds . thausands of a second. Thanks to a hint from Donald R Laster Jr from Slackware. Cdda2wav (Maintained/enhanced by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de): - Cdda2wav no longer includes the new paranoia mode "c2check" in the macro "proof". This has been done because of a report from Géraud Meyer that gives hints that the drive: Type: ROM, Vendor 'TSSTcorp' Model 'CDDVDW SH-222AB ' Revision 'SB00' MMC+CDDA does not handle hidden tracks when "c2check" is active. Readcd: Scgcheck: Scgskeleton: Btcflash: Mkisofs (Maintained/enhanced by Jörg Schilling since 1997, originated by Eric Youngdale): - mkisofs was slightly modified to reduce CPU time requirements. It now reads/writes in 64kBytes chunks instead of stdio buffer size which is typically 8 kB. - Fixed a typo in the mkisofs man page. Thanks to a hint from Donald R Laster Jr from Slackware. - Mkisofs now in addition prints "-iso-level 3 or more required" in case that a large file was skipped because of the current mkisofs settings. Thanks to a hint from Donald R Laster Jr from Slackware. - A problem in isoinfo has been fixed. This problem caused "isoinfo -R -find -ls" to print Jan 1 1970 timestamps in case that Rock Ridge was not present. 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: - 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. Joerg
