Changes:
* Thu Feb 02 2006 - Release of a GPL compliant 2.01.01a05-ossdvd
patch. This patch is for cdrtools-2.01.01a05.tar.bz2 and is adjusted
to work with linux kernel 2.6.12 or higher and can be compiled with
gcc-4.0.x. The rawio patch using libcap has been migrated to
cdrtools-2.01.01a05-rawio.patch.bz2 . The patch called
cdrtools-2.01.01-scsibuf.patch.bz has become redundant, as this has
been integrated inside cdrtools-2.01.01a05.tar.bz2 . RPMS and SRPMS
have been updated for mandriva 2006.0. The order of applying patches
is now :
1. cdrtools-2.01.01a05-ossdvd.patch.bz2 .ossdvd
2. cdrtools-2.01.01a01-DVD-speed.patch.bz2 .dvd-speed
3. cdrtools-2.01.01a05-rawio.patch.bz2 .rawio
4. cdrtools-2.01.01a01-scanbus.patch.bz2 .scanbus

ossdvd specific changes:
* Mon Nov 28 2005 - Release of a GPL compliant 2.01.01a03-ossdvd
patch. The patch is for cdrtools-2.01.01a03.tar.bz2 and is adjusted
to work with linux kernel 2.6.12 or higher and can be compiled with
gcc-4.0.x. It also solves this bug : "cdrecord: Cannot get disk type."
* Mon Nov 28 2005 - Release of a adjusted GPL compliant patch,
called 2.01.01a01-2ossdvd. The patch is for
cdrtools-2.01.01a01.tar.bz2 and is adjusted to work with linux
kernel 2.6.12 or higher and can be compiled with gcc-4.0.x. It
also solves this bug : "cdrecord: Cannot get disk type."
* Tue Oct 25 2005 - a patch that fixes speed display when burning
DVDs. The first is quite obvious - I cannot understand why nobody
has done this fix. The second provides additional speed info because
the speed values in cdrecord are stored in integer variable which
truncates a speed, say, of 2.4 to 2.0. The patch is called
cdrtools-2.01.01a01-DVD-speed.patch.bz2 and should be applied
right after cdrtools-2.01.01a01-ossdvd.patch.bz2
- John Witford
Excerpt of cdrtools changes:
All:
- Support for 'make DESTDIR=xxx install' added
- Better configure tests for procfs include files
- libunls reworked
Cdrecord:
- Allow the -shorttrack option for RAW mode, thanks to a report
from Sebastian Trueg

that cdrecord will not get out of sync with locks from the
Volume management system.
- Better checks and better error messages for /etc/default/cdrecord
- Correct verbose print mode for old pre-MMC TEAC drives.
- Added support for Ultra speed+ CD-RW media recognition and a check
whether the drive supports Ultra speed+ CD-RW media.
(Thanks to Alexander Noé).
Mkisofs (By Jörg Schilling and James Pearson j.pearson@ge.ucl.ac.uk):
- Better error messages with wrong Eltorito boot options
- Man page is now more explicit about requirements for DVD-video
directory trees.
- Better warning text for missing Rock Ridge in multi.c
- Bugs in README.sunx86boot corrected
- Multi Volume code for reading old image now gives different
error messages on read errors and short reads.
- Diagnostic programs isodump, isoinfo, ... no longer dump core
when called with dev=<SCSI addr> parameters.
* Thu Jun 16 2004 - Release of a GPL compliant 2.01.01a01-ossdvd patch.
The ossdvd patch is migrated to work with cdrtools-2.01.01a01.tar.bz2,
and is cdrtools-2.01.01a01-ossdvd.patch. The latest efforts from Warly
at http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~warly/files/cdrtools/ have been
merged. Quite of number of unnecessary CDB: error messages have been
removed. Functionality of this release covers : DVD-R, DVD-RW,
DVD+RW and DVD+R DL. DVD+R burns ok, but lead-in and/or lead-out is not
ok. This release should work with any 2.6.x kernel.
The ossdvd patch is migrated to work with cdrtools-2.01a32.tar.bz2, and is
called cdrtools-2.01a32-ossdvd.patch. In addition the speed selection
routine speed_select_mdvd() has been merged from Warly's efforts at
http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~warly/files/cdrtools/ . The speed=2
speed selection now works for burning DVD's, but fails when reading.
For mandrake 10.0 new RPMS and SRPM are created.
- New option -tao is now needed if you like to write in TAO
mode. Cdrecord now does no longer writes if no write mode
has been specified.
- New option -sao as alias for -dao. As the official name
for the write mo de is SAO, -sao is more correct than -dao.
- New paranoia sub option paraopts=overlap=xx
This is mainly a bug fix for cdda2wav. Cdda2wav previously
_always_ did completely deactivat the dynamic overlapping
from libparanoia. Instead, it did set the overlapping to
the statical value 0.
If you omit paraopts=overlap=xx, cdda2wav will now use
dynamic overlaping with -paranoia.
If you like the old behavior, use: paraopts=overlap=0
- New paranoia sub option paraopts=minoverlap=xx
This sets the minimum dynamic overlap
- New paranoia sub option paraopts=maxoverlap=xx
This sets the maximum dynamic overlap
- Better paranoia statistics output
- Fixed a Problem with some Linux sound card drivers that
caused cdda2wav to be unable to output to the soundcard.
- Trying to add verbose output that estimates the read quality
with -paranoia
- Support for PowerPC CHRP Boot added
- Support for -uid/-gid for UDF Filesystems added
- isoinfo now is able to list ElTorito Boot information with -d
- isoinfo now correctly shows long RR filenames from CE
Extension records.
- New options -root & -old-root from Patrik Ohly
This allows mkisofs to be used for "incremental backups" where
each backup is put into a separate directory tree on the CD.
And some bug fixes.
