+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-2.01.01a06:
+
+*******
+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:
+
+- Better support for BeOS/Zeta in the makefile system
+
+- Support for armv5teb-linux-cc was added to the makefile system
+
+-
+ 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,proc_priocntl,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
+
+ Also edit /etc/security/prof_attr
+
+ CD RW:::CD-R/RW Recording Authorizations:auths=solaris.device.cdrw
+
+ 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)
+

+Libparanoia (Ported by Jörg Schilling, originated by Monty xiphmont@mit.edu):
+
+Libedc (Optimized by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de):
+
+Libscg:
+
+- BeOS/Zeta libscg low level adoption code fixed.
+ The code now is passing a "scgcheck" test.
+
+Rscsi:
+
+Cdrecord:
+
+- Adjust some timeouts to prevent that the drive buffer of
+ newer Pioneer DVD writers empties when writing high speed DVD
+ media.
+
+- Support for BeOS/Zeta shared memory was added
+
+- New tag CDR_MAXFIFOSIZE= in /etc/default/cdrecord allows to
+ limit the size of the FIFO cdrecord is using. This helps the
+ sysadmin to prevent other people from locking up the system.
+
+Cdda2wav (By Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de):
+
+Readcd:
+
+- Support for BeOS/Zeta shared memory was added
+
+- -scanbus behavior corrected
+
+Scgcheck:
+
+- Fixed DMA overrun test. BeOS/Zeta did pass the test but
+ scgcheck did complain before.
+
+Scgskeleton:
+
+- -scanbus behavior corrected
+
+Btcflash:
+
+- -scanbus behavior corrected
+
+- man page added
+
+Mkisofs (By Jörg Schilling and James Pearson j.pearson@ge.ucl.ac.uk):
+
+- try to work around a GCC trigraph problem
+
+- man pages for diag commands added
+
+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.
