First a message about a status change: This is the last release of cdda2wav as a standalone version. There will be further development of cdda2wav, but newer versions are always part of the cdrtools package, which should be found here: ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrtools or ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrtools/alpha (Currently the cdrtools alpha package name is cdrecord-1.8a16, but I will urge Joerg Schilling to change this to a proper name). I decided to merge with Joerg Schillings portable SCSI library and Makefile system in order to achieve better portability and less duplication of code. This makes sense, since both packages are related to CDs. Please update your links, etc. accordingly... Now an incomplete list of changes since version 0.95beta0.8: o improved detection of shared memory methods (from Joerg Schilling) o implements a single process program, if no shared memory or no fork() is available o implements priocntl as an alternative for POSIX realtime scheduling o sync strategy changed o implements dynamic overlap read operation (as does cdparanoia) o adds a dynamic display to monitor minium, maximum and current overlaps, jitter offsets and the percentage work done o changed the default overlap to one except for drives that indicate perfect CDDA reading (can nonetheless be overridden by the user) o changed the name of device setting environment variable from CDR_DEVICE to CDDA_DEVICE o new options -J give information about a cd and exit -P CHANGED!!! Complete user control over overlap sampling -c s now swaps stereo channels (untested) o cd extra song title detection also for non-Linux system o may compile (and run?) on old pre-ANSI-C compilers o made some shell scripts independent from bash (stupid bug of mine) Heiko Eissfeldt
