cdrtools-2.01.01a66 ready

[Joerg Schilling-3]

NEW features of cdrtools-2.01.01a66:

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

*******


All:

- Added support for 64 bit compilation on HP-HX using "cc".
        Use make CCOM=cc64 as usual to switch to 64 bit compilation.

Libschily:

- libschily/fconv.c reworked to deal with non-C99 compliant systems and to deal
        with the constraints found in HP-UX-11.11.

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 problem in libsiconv in case that the the locale is specified as
        "iconv:name".

Libscg:

- Make libscg deal with the new error code from HP-UX that
        is returned for a non-existing ATAPI slave.

- Some minor changes in libscg to make scgcheck report less problems
        with HP-UX

Libscgcmd:

Libmdigest:

Rscsi:

Cdrecord:

- Better man page with repect to dev=

- The cdrecord man page has been restructured.

- Fixed a bug in the workaround code for a firmware bug for DVD+R
        media in HL-DT-ST drives.

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

- Better man page with repect to dev=

- The cdda2wav man page has been restructured.

Readcd:

- readcd now only send the Plextor specific SCSI commands for the -cxscan
        option in case that the drive identifies as Plextor.

- Better man page with repect to dev=

Scgcheck:

- Better man page with repect to dev=

Scgskeleton:

Btcflash:

- Better man page with repect to dev=

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

- mkisofs man page reworked

- isoinfo man page reworked

- New file mkisofs/rock.h

- isodump now prints more information about Rock Ridge attributes to
        help debugging non-compliant Rock Ridge ISO images.

- isoinfo now correctly identifies ISO images made with the Mac OS X
        program "hdiutil" by e.g. calling:

        hdiutil makehybrid -iso -hfs -verbose -o xxx.iso some_dir

        As filesystems that violate the Rock Ridge standard.

        Check e.g. by "isoinfo -i xxx.iso -d"

        Interpreting Rock Ridge on such images can be enforced by calling:

        "isoinfo -i xxx.iso -lR -debug"

- mkisofs now ignores the broken Rock Ridge attributes that have been
        created by the Mac OS X program "hdiutil".

        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.

You are not currect: I am saying this since three releases as we are currently
getting _very_ close to the mext major release.

There is not much to do except reworking for the man pages.

BTW: since the last major release, more than 30% of the code has been rewritten
or replaced and many new funtions have been added so more than 50% of the code
is new since the last "final" release from september 2004.

There have been 7100 single file edits in 2900 edit groups, resulting in an
average of aprox. 4 file edits per day during this period.

I forgot to mention that this is of course work that is planned for the next
release and not to happen before the recently planned final.
