release are the preservation of attribute times and ownership of files and
directories and an important fix to filesize related issues making it more
robust. Some important SCSI/ATAPI fixes have been made that greatly
increase drive compatibility.
SCSI layer rewrite, new CD-MRW and DVD+MRW support, new scsi/atapi format
utility, more support for customer DVD (video) recorder DVDs and lots of
bug fixes. Please do test this version and report strange behaviour 0.4.9
didn't show and report any problems!
issues and is now fully read & write compatible with Roxio's
DirectCD/Drag2Disc!
It also adds the modified get and put functionality as well as the new mget
and mput commands. In the run-up for 0.50's recordable support i've taken
the opportunity to clean up loose ends and long standing small issues like
the rm printing bug. Support has also been created for non 2048 bytes media
such as harddiscs and files. Note: UDFclient will automatically set its
sectorsize to the media used, so you have to use the new -b 2048 to be able
to read and write files used for testing and mastering.
UDFclient.0.4.5 : serious cleanup and bugfix release fixing serious `mkdir'
brokenness and introducing a more decent logical volume open/close
behaviour with coupled logical volume integrity sequence support that was
lacking. Discs opened read-only are now really read-only; one could delete
files from a read-only disc that could result in broken discs.
based on insights gained from developing version 0.3. Pitty enough still no
recordable media write support (sorry folks...). Significant speed
improvements have been made in both reading and writing heaps of little
files. Offcource also heaps of bug fixes. Work has also started on an
in-kernel implementation though i decided to get udfclient fully functional
first. New in this version is support for non 2048 byte media using the -b
flag, new `rename' and `free' commands in udfclient and a fixed and
hopefully full working `rm' command. Warning some flags have been changed
meaning so check your scripts!
Benefits are:
- support for FreeBSD's CAM
- various bugfixes
- access rights preservation
- cdrw_format blanking and formatting tool added
- owner-ship of file/directories recording
- fixes in `get/put' so directory trees will be fetched correctly
- minor enhancements
changed scsipi headers and incorporating the submitted patches. It also
gives Linux SCSI access to the SCSI sense code!
Esp. Linux users and NetBSD-current users will benefit.
(reinoud@netbsd.org).
It features a read-only userland implementation for now and is accompanied
by small helper programs that can describe the CD/DVD media into detail.
