NEW features of cdrecord-1.8a28:

Warning: the version of libscg from this version of cdrecord has only been tested on 
Solaris, Linux and Win32. 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:

-	Now 2 years after I created it, scsi-next.c is publically available.
	This makes it possible for everyone to compile cdrecord on 

		- NextStep
		- Apple Rhapsody
		- Apple MacOS X

-	fixed a bug in scsi-linux-sg.c that has been introduced with the changes
	in libscg and was not found before due to the ugly /dev/sg programming
	interface that has too many variants.

cdrecord:

-	Now after more then half a year of testing,
	auinfo.c is included with this distribution.
	This allows to create bitwise correct audio copies:

	cdda2wav -B -v255
	cdrecord -v -dao -useinfo *.wav

	When using these commands, the cddb ID is copied, 
	also the start time of the first track, all available
	ISRC ID's, the MCN, the size of all pregaps between
	all tracks and all indices if present.

readcd:


mkisofs:

-	Changed version string to: mkisofs 1.12b5-js-a28
	To make it easier to tell if an unmodified version is still in use.

cdda2wav:

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.

WARNING: Do not use 'winzip' to extract the tar file!
	Winzip cannot extract symbolic links correctly.
