+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-2.01.01a04:
+
+*******
+NOTE: this is _not_ a release that starts a new aplha/beta series of dirtibutions.
+ The only reason is to add certain new CD/DVD features that are important.
+
+ So _please_ do not send any patches except when you like to fix extreme bugs.
+ I am currently mainly working on stable incremental restore featurs for star-1.5-final.
+ Once star-1.5-final is out, cdrtools will start a new developent cycle.
+*******
+
+All:
+
+- astoull*() new in schily.h
+
+- utypes.h now has MAX_ and MIN_ value definitions for all basic
+ system types.
+
+- Using Makefiles-1.5a02
+
+- Support added to compile in 64 bit mode on Solaris Sparc.
+ Use: smake CCOM=cc64
+
+- Support added to compile shared libraries with version
+ numbers for interface levels and make inofficial "interfaces"
+ static
+
+- Prevent gmake to go into an enless loop on Solaris
+ in case that /usr/ucb/tr is before /usr/bin/tr in PATH
+
+- Better autoconf error message ion case that the expected
+ C-compiler could not be found.
+
+- Mac OS X now installs files as root:wheel
+
+- Supply linker mapfiles for all libraries. This allows cdrtools
+ to be compiles using shared libraries only and to properly
+ hide inofficial interfaces on Solaris (using ls)
+ Note that this feature is not available with GNU ld
+
+
+Libparanoia (Ported by Jörg Schilling, originated by Monty xiphmont@mit.edu):
+
+Libedc (Optimized by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de):
+
+Libscg:
+
+- Autoconf test for broken Linux sg.h headers added
+
+- if libscg is compiles on newer Solaris systems, the warning:
+
+ "Warning: Volume management is running, medialess managed drives are invisible.\n"
+
+ is no longer printed.
+
+ Since Solaris 11 Build 21, vold no longer hides empty drives
+ that are under volume management. This now allows cdrecord to be even
+ used to close the tray while vold is running.
+
+ The criteria used to decide whether Solaris is "recent enough" is
+ #ifndef SEEK_HOLE
+ The definition SEEK_HOLE has been added with Solaris 11 Build 14
+ while the fixed vold appears in Solaris 11 Build 21.
+
+- Support for root-less cdrecord using fine-grained privileges.
+ Remote SCSI not tests for PRIV_NET_PRIVADDR instead of (geteuid() == 0)
+
+ If you like all users to be able to call cdrecord root-less, you need
+ Solaris 10 or newer.
+
+ Edit the file /etc/security/exec_attr and add:
+
+ All:solaris:cmd:::/opt/schily/bin/cdrecord: privs=file_dac_read,sys_devices,proc_lock_memory,proc_priocntl,net_privaddr
+ All:solaris:cmd:::/opt/schily/bin/readcd: privs=file_dac_read,sys_devices,net_privaddr
+ All:solaris:cmd:::/opt/schily/bin/cdda2wav: privs=file_dac_read,sys_devices,net_privaddr
+
+ If you like to allow only specific user to use cdrecord,
+ use something like:
+
+ CD RW:solaris:cmd:::/opt/schily/bin/cdrecord: privs=file_dac_read,sys_devices,proc_lock_memory,proc_priocntl,net_privaddr
+
+ instead and make the users members of the profile "CD RW"
+ by adding a line like:
+
+ joerg::::profiles=CD RW
+
+ into /etc/user_attr
+
+ Note that you either need to call cdrecord via "pfexec cdrecord ....."
+ or by using a profile aware shell (e.g. /usr/bin/pfksh)
+
+Rscsi:
+
+Cdrecord:
+
+- Correctly evaluate the write speeds for Ultra speed+ CD-RW media.
+ This prevents wrong warnings that the "drive does not support Ultra speed+"
+
+- Fixed a typo in the driveropts=help messages
+
+
+Cdda2wav (By Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de):
+
+- Added a workaround for the _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING behavior
+ on MacosX: defined but not supported#
+ Thanks to: Emanuele Giaquinta <e.giaquinta@glauco.it>
+
+- Bugfix: cdda2wav did previously chose to ignore the result of realloc(3)
+ This prevents core-dumps.
+
+Readcd:
+
+Scgcheck:
+
+Scgskeleton:
+
+Mkisofs (By Jörg Schilling and James Pearson j.pearson@ge.ucl.ac.uk):
+
+- mkisofs now detects if a file grows or shrinks while being
+ read by mkisofs.
+
+
+TODO:
+ - read Joliet filenames with multi-session if no TRANS.TBL
+ or RR is present. I am looking for a volouteer 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.
