NEW features of cdrecord-1.8a26:

Warning: the version of libscg from this version of cdrecord has only been tested on 
Solaris and Linux. If you are running other OS, please test and report.

We are now only a few releases away from the final libscg that includes
SCSI low level command transport.

ALL:

-	Added automake features to the makefile system. These features are
	only available with 'smake'

-	Moved auto-generation of the include files align.h and avoffset.h into
	the separate directory 'inc'.

	Now all warnings than may be observed with 'gmake' are caused by bugs
	in gmake.

-	Moved routines from port.c to libschily

-	New function scsi_initiator_id() added to libscg

-	libscg now gives much better error messages for open errors
	This is again a step towards the separate libscg.


cdrecord:

-	Added shared memory support (FIFO) for OS/2

-	Now prints "HOST ADAPTOR" in the -scanbus output if the OS supports
	to retrieve the SCSI initiator ID

-	New cdrecord -scanbus format includes dev= syntax

	        1,4,0   4) 'PLEXTOR ' 'CD-R   PX-W8220T' '1.00' Removable CD-ROM

readcd:

-	Added some binary opens

-	readcd should now compile on OS/2 out of the box

-	Verbose output now goes to stderr to allow readcd | cdrecord

mkisofs:

-	HAVE_READLINK autoconf new

-	mkisofs should now compile on OS/2 out of the box

-	mkisofs now uses comerr() and thus prints error messages in standard
	format including a text string for 'errno'.
	This makes it much easier to understand error messages and to check
	what caused an error.

cdda2wav:

-	cdda2wav should now compile on OS/2 out of the box

-	removed some of the -gui function by demand of Thomas Niederreiter


Linux NOTES:

Better handling for the SCSI status byte is supported with the enhanced Linux sg driver interface.
Look for:
	ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/alpha/SG-2.2.tar.gz (Linux-2.2)
	ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/alpha/SG.patch.tar.gz (Linux-2.0 & 2.1)


CYGWIN NT-4.0 NOTES:

To compile on Cygwin32, get Cygwin32-beta20 and install it.
then create a symlink from /bin to the .../bin directory where bash is located.
Now run 'make' ...

The files are located on:

ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/alpha ...

NOTE:	These tar archives are 100% ansi compatible. Solaris 2.x tar and GNU
	tar may get some minor trouble.

WARNING: Do not use 'mc' to extract the tar file!
	All mc versions before 4.0.14 cannot extract symbolic links correctly.
