[cdrecord-1.9-1]
- Updated to version 1.9 final. See AN-1.9 for complete changes from 1.8.

[cdrecord-1.9a05-1]
- All:
- scsi_raisedma() disabled on pre-2.2.10 kernels

- Cdrecord:
- Fix for a problem with 99 minute CD\'s that was present because
cdrecord was too Read Book compliant.
- Force the user to use -ignsize to allow >= 90 Minutes on CD even
when the current CD is not in the blank capacity database.

[cdrecord-1.9a04-1]
- All:
- README.macosX added (needed to know how to compile).
As Apple deliveres an inconsistent OS, you need to follow the
instuctions in this README file before you may compile
cdrtools on Mac OS X.
- libscg restructured
- libscg now handles a problem hat arises on Linux-2.2.10 ??? and newer
(newer releases before Linux-2.4) where it is already possible to
raise the DMA limit for the sg driver but there is no SCSI ioctl command.

[cdrecord-1.9a03-1]
- All:
- scsitransp.c split into scsitransp.c and scsi-sun.c
- Fallback code to use the USCSI interface on Solaris
This should add ATAPI support on Solaris 8 sparc.
Solaris 8 x86 does support ATAPI with the scg driver
as Sun fixed the structural bug for thw Intel version.
Warning: The USCI interface has several drawbacks:
- Only finds disk type devices with -scanbus
- Cannot open devices that are currently attached
to the volume management system
- The Goldstar ATAPI CD-ROM in a U-10 transfers data
but the DMA residual count shows that there has
been no transfer at all.
Facit: Test by your own if this interface is usable.
Please report problems!
- Better error mesages for SCSI open in libscg
- Linux code in libscg now tries to use new features of the
Linus sg driver:
- Trying to use more then 32 kB for DMA
The interface for raising the DMA limit from 32 kB
is a real pain. It needs a lot of code to adopt
the interface to libscg.
- Trying to use the new ioctl() interface if present.
This interface now supports:
- SCSI CDB sizes for vendor unique commands
- SCSI status byte
- SCSI command transport status
- More than 16 bytes of sense data (not yet working!)
- DMA residual count (not yet working!)
- Arbitrary DMA address pointers !!!
- Trying to use the new RESET ioctl() (not yet working!)
All items marked (not yet working!) will turn funtional
after the Linux kernel starts to support them.

It seems that my shouting for a better SCSI interface succeeded.
Linux-2.4 supports or at least includes an interface that may support
the needed things in future.

As from now it is unclear whether the code will expose
any portability problems, please test on different Linux
versions from 2.0 ... 2.4 if available and report problems.

- Cdrecord:
- New manufacturer \"Bestdisc Technology Corporation\"
in disk decoder.
- ATIP Decoder now decodes disk sub type for High speed CD-RW
- Firt support for 99 minute CD\'s.

- Cdda2wav:
- more diagnostics for illegal ISRCs
- use setpriority in favor of nice
- updated cdda2mp3 script for lame usage (alpha)

- Readcd:
- restructured to be more flexible
- Support for C2 error pointer scan with MMC drives &
the Plextor U-Plex 40 CD-ROM

- Mkisofs:
- Allow printing of percentage ready without floatingpoint code in printf.
- apple_driver now compiles, but need to call
make -f apple_driver.mk by hand
- graft pointers are now really usable:
- Graft points are now disabled by default
- To enable, specify the -graft-point option
- Now there is no more a need to specify a command line arg
if -path-list has been specified.

[cdrecord-1.9a02-1]
- All:
- Many README\'s udated
- Many typo\'s corrected in README files.
- portability include files restructured
- new VMS integration update
- Use of SCANSTACK disabled by default
- Now compiles again on MacOS X (the version currently sold)
- New autoconf test for nonstandard sys/select.h include
that is needed on AIX to use select()

- Cdrecord:
- include sys/select.h if needed (AIX)
- Support for Ricoh 9060 CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive
- Support for Plextor PX-W1210TA (with BURN-Proof)
- Printing of new features added to -prcap function
- New Disk manufacturers:
\"WEALTH FAIR INVESTMENT LIMITE\"
\"General Magnetics Ld\"
\"MPO\"
- Manufacturer decoder simplyfied and unified.
- DAO now should work with pregapsize == 0 when
using Sony or Goldstar drives.
Cdrecord retries with pregaps set to 1
- New options -shorttrack & -noshorttrack
will allow to copy CD\'s with supershort tracks
in DAO mode if the drive supports it.
- Fix for a buffer overflow with cdrecord dev=
This problem did not exist on sparc systems,
for this reason it has not been detected before.

- Cdda2wav:
- support for cds with illegal leadout (like HIM-CD)
- bugfix for cd-text detection with plextor/Sony command sets
- should compile and run under Mac-OS-X now
- bugfix with the -q (quiet) option
- bugfix use extra libs (like lossaudio for NetBSD)
- bugfix use the correct sound device for Solaris
- hardened cdda2wav against illegal ISRC codes

- Readcd:
- minor bugfixes with timing
- New options -noerror & retries=#

- Mkisofs:
- Now mkhybrid code is completely integrated into mkisofs.
There is only one binary. To help users of mkhybrid,
make install creates a hard link from mkhybroid to mkisofs.
- man page cleaned up.
- New Option -eltorito-alt-boot allows to specify more
than one Al Torito boot image (up to 63).
Thanks to Egor Duda (deoAATTlogos-m.ru).
- fixed a core dump problem in multi.c
- write.c now uses static buffer to circumvent a problem
with the stone age Metrowerks C found on BeOS/PPC
