cdrtools-2.01.01a59 ready

[Joerg Schilling-3]

NEW features of cdrtools-2.01.01a59:

*******
NOTE: cdrtools is currently in a state just before a new major release.
       

*******


All:

- Add -D_GNU_SOURCE to the standard include flags for Linux in order
        to unhide needed extensions.

- Trying to add support for compilation on WIN64 using cl and gcc

- Adding support for NT-6.0 (Win Vista) and NT-6.1 (Win 7)

- Several typo corrections

- New include file include/schily/wctype.h

- New autoconf test that checks for the differences between the original
        iconv() implementation from Sun and the deviating POSIX standard.
        This allows to avoid compiler warning messages for mkisofs.

Libschily:

Libparanoia (Ported/enhanced by Jörg Schilling, originated by Monty xiphmont@...):

Libedc (Optimized by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@...):

Libcdrdeflt:

Libdeflt:

Libfind:

Libfile:

Libhfs_iso:

Libsiconv:

- Fixed a copy/paste error from libsiconv. Libsiconv now correctly
        initlizes duplicated data structures to prevent core dumps.
        Thanks to Jörg Sonnenberger for reporting.


Libscg:

Libscgcmd:

Rscsi:

Cdrecord:

- Better error messages when the media size is unknown

- Try to work around a firmware bug in the drive:
        'HL-DT-ST' 'DVD-RAM GH22NP20' '1.02'
        that is in effect with DVD+R media.

        ***** ATTENTION *****

        The algorith to fetch the size information from a DVD+R/RW medium was changed with this
        release. Please check for and report problems.


- cdtext.c now checks for empty CD-Text files to prevent a later endless loop in cdrecord
        while writing the TOC. Thanks to Sebastian Trüg <trueg@...> for reporting.

- Man page corrected some problems from hypen -> minus


Cdda2wav (Maintained/enhanced by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@...):

- cdda2wav now supports new parameters for the -output-endianess option.
        "host" or "machine" represent the actual byte order of the host CPU in the current OS.

- Fixed a man page bug that did hide some text from the visible result. Thanks
        to Michael Prokop

- Man page corrected some problems from hypen -> minus

- Removed some Copyright hints to people who did never really enter code into mkisofs

- Removed a Copyright hint for RSA that is no longer valid.

Readcd:

- Man page corrected some problems from hypen -> minus

Scgcheck:

- Man page corrected some problems from hypen -> minus

Scgskeleton:

- Better support for large files (using ftello()/fseeko())

Btcflash:

- Better support for large files (using ftello()/fseeko())

Mkisofs (Maintained/enhanced by Jörg Schilling since 1997, originated by Eric Youngdale):

- Better error messages in case that a specific charset translation is not
        available.

- Now using HAVE_ICONV_CONST to avoid iconv() related compiler warnings


        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:
        - 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.
