148 + Add suggested diskutil code to auto-detect the CD on OS X.
150 * Check that we have $CDDBTOOL before we start. (Closes issue 27).
151 * Change the meaning of EXTRAVERBOSE; previously, it was a y/n option
152 to make things more verbose. Add extra levels of verbosity (0, 1, 2 so
153 far) and a new vvecho() function for callers to use.
154 * With EXTRAVERBOSE==2 or more, make run_command() print out each
155 command as it's run. (Closes issue 39).
156 * If we don't find any CDDB or Musicbrainz information for the CD, try
157 to extract CD-Text information to populate the cddbinfo template.

252 * Added -q <Q> as a quality option.
253 * PREGAP was not set in some situations (Closes: #390170).

289 * Default to UNICODE (UTF8) tags and comments (Closes: #282332).
290 - Added CDDBPROTO option in config file (Closes: #349951)
291 * Added a missing "INDEX 01" entry for CUE sheet creation.
292 * Avoid completing the encoding of files if we aborted previously.
293 * Embed the CUE sheet if we have a cuesheet file and we have a single FLAC
294 file, even if we are not tagging. This way we can use the file as a source
295 even if it is not tagged/named properly.
296 * Fails to quote filenames properly (Closes: #355296)
297 * Introduced VA/ONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT.
298 * Added a missing check for AACENCODER.
299 * Updated config file with some new AAC bits.
300 * Updated FSF address.
301 * Corrected NetBSD options for ftp (Thanks to Marius).
302 * The final 2.4 will have "cuefile" as an action instead of as a flag.
303 * Create the cuefile when extracting from a FLAC file.
304 * Small bugs (Charles Steinkuehler):
305 - Added missing quotes (Closes: #375710)
306 - toolame is included in Debian as default MP3 encoder
307 - Use IFS to preserve spaces when adding metadata to a cuefile
308 * Small documentation changes:
309 - abcde.1 (Closes: #364978)
310 * The following entries have in common that both add an internal cue2discid
311 function. I will evaluate which one is more accurate and decide which one
312 to use. Right now they are not conflicting:
313 - Added internal mkcue and cue2discid functions (Charles Steinkuehler) and
314 add a check for internal abcde.<function> to make sure we are using the
315 correct version (not sure if needed ;)
316 - Added an internal implementation of cue2discid, so there is no need for
317 an external program to do the conversion. Thanks to Michael (sorry, his
318 mail does not have a surname).
319 * cue2discid is now an internal function, so no need for including the
320 python script in the path (Closes: #378407)
321 * cddb-tool.1 typo (Thanks to A. Costa) (Closes: #351775)
322 * abcde.1 typo (Thanks to David L. Anselmi) (Closes: #364978)
323 * Set proper nice values to not separate encoding and reading in the pipes
324 situation, while having a high priority process running in the system.
325 Also, set proper nice values to tagging tasks. Reading should remain as
326 the default higher priority task in the abcde flow (Closes: #359156)
327 * Standards bumped to 3.7.2.1, no changes needed.

340 * Repaired multiple output encoding (Closes: #351362).
341 * Added missing space on a [] test statement.
342 * Added "default" action, so that one can add things on top of what we do
343 regularly, without having to list everything: "-a default,playlist" works.
344 * Restored all the > /dev/null instead of using grep -q, since it is not

352 * The "Mao es nuestro indiscutible lider" release.
353 * Check the CDROMREADER options we have in Debian which we depend on. Thanks
354 to Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo for finding the error.
355 * New recursive option for local CDDB repositories, to cope with other
356 players saving the entries.
357 * Brand new CD backup procedure: rip a CD into a single FLAC trac with an
358 embedded cuesheet using "-1 -M -o flac" and proceed to rip your tracks
359 from the obtained file using "-d file.flac -o <format>". It needs
360 cue2discid script from the examples directory to work. OH! If you manage
361 to get it working with bash, we can get rid of the python dependency...
362 * Initial steps to make abcde working with musicbrainz, although it is not
364 * Added a missing $ in a variable (Closes: #345629).
365 * Added -p to the mkdir's for $ABCDETEMPDIR (Closes: #345630).
366 * Added iconv + converted to utf-8 the charset of a ready-to-send CDDB
367 entry (Closes: #345708).
368 * Added AAC (Mpeg4) support.
369 * Small cd-discid update.

376 - Man page: added information about -z (Debug option).
377 - Corrected config file with the BATCHNORM/NOGAP split
379 - Uses /bin/bash for the time being... We need to get some substitution
380 functions/operations for the bashisms we have: Closes: #337139.
381 * Config bits with corrected typos
382 * Adding musicbrainz support. First bits.
383 * Reworked comparison for numerical answer when selecting a CDDB output.
386 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Mon, 12 Dec 2005 23:46:58 +0200
390 * Both -z and -C unset EJECTCD to avoid ejecting the CD when a) we are
391 debuging and b) we are not using the CD.
392 * If we are not reading the CD, set "loud" to see all the output messages
393 (that is, in most of the cases, the first encoding).
394 * Added -f to force some events that otherwise would erase files from our
395 current run. In the standard configuration ("OUTPUT=vorbis") the following
396 actions will need a "-f" to force the last one:
397 abcde -a read,encode -o ogg,flac
398 abcde -a tag,move,clean
399 During the second run abcde should complain that it is trying to erase the
400 working directory while the it has not performed any action on the FLAC
401 files, which we encoded previously.
402 * Convert the old cdparanoia-audio-tracks file into a status entry to avoid
403 eating files from previous rounds using an early version (Closes: #341050)
405 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 29 Nov 2005 23:27:20 +0200
409 * Added diff choice to CDDB entries ("1,4").
410 * Added SHOWCDDBFIELDS to allow the user to show YEAR and GENRE in the
412 * Suggests mkcue, and erase old cdgrab info since sarge is out.
413 * Changed cdparanoia-audio-tracks to use the status file to save the data.
414 * Added the possibility of using a singletrack flac file with an embeded
415 cuesheet as a source of tracks.
416 * Added -z for easy and quick debug.
417 * BATCH has been split into two options: BATCHNORM which allows, by using
418 -b, to use the -a normalize in all the files at once, and NOGAP, that by
419 using -g, introduces the lame's --nogap extension.
420 * Added replygain using the appropriate tags with Ogg/Vorbis and Ogg/FLAC.
421 * Replaygain is an action, not a flag, since it can be performed individually
422 in the chain of events.
423 * debian/{rules,control}:
424 - Changed the target directory from tmp to abcde, to accommodate to compat
426 - Bump standards to 3.6.2.1. No changes needed.
427 * Added "decho" as a DEBUG output for some specific debug variables.
428 * Added USEPIPES file, with information about how to add Unix pipes support.
429 * Added one more checking for PIPES*_* unset variables (which means support
430 is not added to abcde).
431 * Added toolame as an optional MP3 encoder.

437 * Some patches from Tom Spindler <dogcow () babymeat ! com>
438 - Added some quoting to the md5sum checkings, since the variables could be
440 - NetBSD bits to use ftp instead on anything else to fetch stuff.
441 * do_playlist needs to convert the OUTPUT to the CONTAINERS to avoid ending
442 with playlists pointing to .vorbis files (Closes: #326487).

473 * New upstream release!
474 * Defining the tracknumber now resets the first track if given a number
475 different than 1 (that is: abcde -T 1 2-10 creates songs 1 to 9).
476 * Modified the FAQ to reflect the changes on Marillat's repo
478 * Should be "space" safe: works properly when the working directory contains
479 a space (Closes: #147493).
480 * Repared the CD query for the discid code. When failing to read a disc,
481 actually report that there might be no disc in the drive.
482 * Right now, walk over the different encoders we Depends: on in Debian and
483 use the one available: if a user has a FLAC encoder, abcde will no install
484 vorbis-tools, so it will fail to run out of the box (Closes: #321216)
485 * Added CUE support. Still experimental...
486 * Added FLAC on Ogg. Still not activated, since we cannot get comments added
487 as a post-process action.
488 * Applied patches from Fedora Core (Credit goes to Nils Philippsen
489 <nphilipp@redhat.com>)
490 * Added a post_read() function to be executed before ejecting the CD.
491 * Typos reported by A Costa corrected (Closes: #311463)
492 * Problem with abcde being run in a directory with files containing only
493 numbers solved (Closes: #313628).
494 * vorbiscomment uses now "-R" (Closes: #303566).
495 * "-t" and "-T" use the first track as a starter for the track list.
497 * Added CDPARANOIACDROMBUS option to define -d in case of using IDE and SCSI
498 in case of using ide-scsi emulation layer (Closes: #290768).
499 * Define metaflac in abcde.conf (Closes: #303555)
500 * Added the default "-f" option to the configuration file, to represent the
501 actual default option.

516 * If BATCH is used with ONETRACK, disable BATCH.
517 * Small typos with CDROM comparisons.
518 * Logic for CDROM variable improved.
519 * Version bumped to 2.2.5 and targeted to Sarge.
521 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 2 Apr 2005 21:05:18 +0300
525 * Changed the way we call flac, to adapt to the new times:
526 --import-vc-from= to --import-tags-from.
527 * DOSPLAYLIST was not included in the list of options.
528 * Options passed to the encoder by using <-o ogg:"-b 192"> are now
529 supported. One can modify the way abcde encodes just for the current CD.
530 * Unfortunatelly I forgot to add the starting number for tags in Ogg. For
531 MP3 is a bit more difficult, since it needs changing the X/YY code.
532 * Also, the order of the tags in metaflac is important for the utf8 names.
533 Thanks to Frederik Juul Christiani (Closes: #297482)
534 * Added CDROMID in the .conf file, for reader programs that need it
536 * Added a check for cdparanoia when encountering data-only CDs.

543 - suggest normalize-audio, since it changed its name (Closes: #287674).
544 * Use the default while erasing an existing playlist (Closes: #288835).
545 * Does not destroy track information when a track contains "=" in the name
548 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 22 Jan 2005 15:35:46 +0200
552 * Quotes missing when evaluating a value (Closes: #284018).
554 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 3 Dec 2004 09:20:18 +0200
558 * Spotted and solved a problem with the way the data tracks were detected
561 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Wed, 24 Nov 2004 22:47:54 +0200
565 * New release! Let's see if abcde 2.2 gets into Sarge.
566 * Added support for MPP/MP+(Musepack) encoding. Although I am trying to
567 get 2.2 for Debian Sarge release, mpc seems safe enough to introduce. See
568 corecodec.org for code.
569 * Some POSIX shell corrections (making the code more portable). Thanks to
570 Guillem Jover for pointing the problem out.
571 * CDYEAR is also passed to do_move(), so one can use it for sorting the
573 * Small MacOS X fix, allowing directories with "()" to work. Thanks to Evan
575 - On the MacOS X, I still do not know if abcde works correctly. If does
576 not, please, drop a note. Or else.
577 * DOSPLAYLIST also changes "/" with "\".
578 * DATA tracks are now excluded from the ripping process using internally
579 the cdparanoia "-Q" query option. If using another ripper, it does not
580 work (at least there is no support for them in abcde)
581 (Closes: #112692, #117412).
582 * New "0" choice for "None of the above" has been introduced. If selected, a
583 template is created and the user encouraged to edit it (Closes: #147683).
584 * New options for when the PLAYLIST already exists: erase, append or keep.
585 * Bug fixes along the code:
586 - abcde.1 corrections and additions
587 - abcde corrections and code reorganization. abcde now exits earlier if
588 some of the options are incompatible. Also the actions are set as
589 variables earlier, so we use less calls to external tools.
590 - abcde.conf additions
591 * The GENRE is munged now in its own mungegenre function, so that no more
592 upper-to-lowercase is done (forced) except if the default is used.
593 * Examples added to the tarball and /usr/share/doc/abcde/examples with two
594 scripts to make abcde kind-of-a ripper daemon.
595 * Changed to experimental to have an stable 2.1.x version in Sarge.
596 * Add CDDB information to Ogg/Vorbis and FLAC files (Closes: #265358).
597 * Added INTERACTIVE option. Set it to "n" and there you go, without user
599 * Changes normalize to normalize-audio (Closes: #267053)
600 * Copes with wav files being erased by the ripping tool.
601 * Small patch to support ()'s in the path under MacOSX. Thanks to Evan Jones
602 for noticing and sending the patch.
603 * Added -w for COMMENT seed. Used to give a comment to a given CD.
604 * Option "-t <number>" added to modify the numbering from a starting point
605 (Closes: #95828). Geez! That is low bug number...
606 * Added -T to modify also the tag entries on the songs. Currently available
607 for FLAC and Ogg/Vorbis.
608 * Removes trailing spaces (Closes: #280382).
609 * TRACKNAME now combines multi-lines from long CDDB entries.

623 * The "Let's have a good abcde in Sarge" release.
624 * The mungefile() function changes * with + by default to avoid creating
625 directories with the start expanded to the files found in the current
626 directory. abcde2.2 will most likelly contain a better workaround.
627 * Correct default OUTPUTFORMAT in man page (Closes: #250649)
629 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 30 Jul 2004 10:16:46 +0300
633 * Encoding the whole CD in one file is now possible. Use "-1" as a flag
636 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 9 Apr 2004 17:04:58 +0000
640 * Do not release in a hurry. The eject program is not needed if CDSPEEDVALUE
641 is not set and no EJECT action is performed (Closes: #242506)

650 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Wed, 7 Apr 2004 06:30:31 +0000
654 * New setting for the CD speed. Some drives have a higher failure ratio when
655 spinning at high speed.
656 * Added a pre-read function for preparations. Uses include closing the CD
657 tray (Closes: #137548).
658 * Added COMMENT part in OggFlac metadata.
659 * Documentation update: README, abcde.1
660 * Do not tag GENRE and DATE in Ogg/Vorbis if CDDB does not provide them
662 * Solved bug with batch encoding, thanks to Travis McKay.
663 * When *DATAPREFIX was set, the playlist creation was made without newline.
664 * Added >&2 redirection to visualize the "Erase playlist" question
666 * Added the option "-m" to modify the resulting playlist, to contain CRLF at
667 the end of every line, letting some hardware players which insist with
668 DOS-style files to use them. Also, added DOSPLAYLIST as a config option.
669 * When using a selected, localy cached CDDB entry, we forgot to show the
670 selection when asking the user for editing the choice. Now we show it.
671 * Improved the logic in the order of events when using a local CDDB repo.
673 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 6 Apr 2004 05:29:38 +0000
677 * EDITOR is called now evaluating the variable, so it works with full path
679 * Patch for making md5sum a variable (since some systems use a different
681 * Correction by "huf" <mihi at mail.eol.hu>. The test code in line 376
683 * The PADDING code and some CDDB funcions were *really* messy. Now it looks
684 cleaner, works faster and some not needed network operations are no
685 longer performed when we are working with local CDDB repositories.
686 * Added "-V" for extra verbosity (on slow networks the user might be waiting
687 and wondering is somethins is happening).
688 * Solved a bug with the non-interactive code.
690 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Mon, 16 Feb 2004 00:13:12 +0000
694 * Missing quotes restored (Closes: #228648).

700 * Solved the problem with re-runs of multiple choices not showing all the
701 choices (Closes: #228405) (this was a quick one)
702 * We now show the selected CDDB entry on a second run, instead of all of
703 them (not that one should stop abcde, but just in case). This way
704 consecutive interrupted runs obtain the same results.
706 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sun, 18 Jan 2004 22:42:15 +0000
710 * Check if normalizer is found in the PATH (Closes: #228014)
711 * Added (commented) bits to check if the CD being processed is the CD on the
712 tray, so that if differs we do not eject it.
713 * Store locally the CDDB information, under $HOME/.cddb since it is being
714 used by Grip (at least). PATH is user defined (Closes: #88048)
715 * If you are using cdda2wav and SCSI drives, you can set CDROMID for the
716 SCSI drive, since it differs from the cd-discid CDROM parameter
718 * MacOSX keeps on failing because the OS mounts the CD before we finish
719 ripping it... or something else. Please, test test test the code, and
720 report your findings. Pretty please. I have not been able to make it work
721 with the reports I have received.
723 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 16 Jan 2004 12:06:07 +0000
727 * Urgent fixes for the FreeBSD and MacOSX bits. When using cdda2wav, the
728 CDROM variable must be modified depending on the device interface. By now
729 we will not try to be very smart.
730 * Added a test for HTTPGETOPTS since it cannot be empty for the default
732 * Quick release to fix a problem with the CDROM detection code.
734 * Cleaned a bashism. Thanks to Klaus Ethgen (Closes: #226782).
735 * Rewrote some parts of the cdda2wav code. Since I do not have a machine
736 where cdda2wav works, I cannot test the code. The modifications have been
737 done following user reports. If you use cdda2wav and abcde does not work
738 for you, please, contact me and we will try to sort things out. Thanks.
740 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 8 Jan 2004 21:36:23 +0000
744 * INLINETAG and STARTTRACKNUMBER flags added.
745 * CDROM checking is now done with a bit more wiselly (Closes: #219768)
746 * HTTPGET is only requested is "cddb" action is performed.
747 * Workout the possibility of cdparanoia erasing our wav files
749 * The default answer for editing CDDB data is now "y" if the disk is
750 unknown. If not, the default is "n". Requested by Ricky Buchanan.
751 * Now we do not erase silently any previous $PLAYLISTFILE left behind by a
752 previous CD ripping (Closes: #220753)
753 * Write info file with cdda2wav (Closes: #187702).
754 I do not use cdda2wav myself (me is cd-paranoid) so if anyone using
755 cdda2wav has a problem with this, please, report.
756 * CDROM comes in 1,0,0 kind of format for cdda2wav ripper. Corrected with a
757 quick patch. Kudos go to Mikhail Manuilov <viper5k at pisem dot net> for
759 * Merged bits to make abcde work under MacOSX. Thanks to Evan Jones.
760 * Merged bits to avoid FreeDB people anger and to cut down the "abcde." part
761 of the discid. Now you can set the "-C" command with the directory name.
762 Kudos go to Bart Samwel.
763 * Added some info bits to the config file about normalize, requested by
765 * Added some testing for the wav file before normalizing, to check that the
766 file is actually there.

796 Marc HE Brockschmidt, again (Closes: #126289)
797 * Small bug related with DISTMP3NICE solved. Kudos to Wilbert Alberts.
799 * Padding now creates the list with padded numbers. Test patch. This should
800 solve the problem with delayed tagging a single file.

806 * Removed a nasty bug where even if the encode failed, the track was marked
807 as successfully encoded (Closes: #208391)
808 * Various Artists has now its own PLAYLIST format (Closes: #137432)
809 * metaflac path corrected (Closes: #206110)
810 * Hopefully this version repairs the comment part for Ogg/Vorbis files.
811 * If nothing breaks, 2.2 will be released as soon as the KNOWNBUG is solved.
812 * Removed all the inline tagging since it breaks the action chain, except
813 in Ogg/Speex. Need to check if "vorbiscomment" can be used for it.
815 * Added DISTMP3NICE variable, to nice the distmp3 program (Closes: #208398)
817 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 4 Sep 2003 10:53:09 +0000
821 * Small fixes and patches.
822 + GENRE can be used for OUTPUTFORMAT and PLAYLISTFORMAT
823 + id3v2 should work now with -c for comments (Closes: #199949)
824 + small bug with batch encoding
825 + Variables are exported before the CDDB functions are called, so they
826 should use the right variables for the HTTPGET command.
827 + Tagging also use TRACKS and CDGENRE for MP3 files (kudos to Dirk
829 + FLAC encoding now uses dismp3 to encode remotelly (kudos to Taylor and
830 Kevin Cramer). HANDLE WITH CARE ;)
831 Also FLAC now uses CDGENRE and CDYEAR for tagging.
832 * tail/head change: -1 has been deprecated. Noted by Stephan Kulow.
833 * Ogg/Speex support added, for speech encoding (Closes #204635)
834 * Documentation update (Closes: #198825)

852 * Makefile was missing cddb-tool.1.
853 * Introduced dagrab as CD ripping utility.
854 * cddb-tool seq calls converted to functions. No more distro dependencies.
855 * WGET* variables converted to HTTPGET* variables. FreeBSD can safelly use
857 * More FreeBSD specific bits: CDROM and EJECT changes.
859 * Added CDDBPROTO for specifying the protocol level of the cddb query.
860 * CDDB protocol upgraded to 5. CDYEAR and CDGENRE are now used for CD

869 * Documentation updates: Closes: #186230.
870 * Usual set of bug fixes and corrections.
871 * Default behaviour of VAOUTPUTFORMAT output changed to avoid multiple
872 directories for a same album. I think the format is more logical, and you
873 can always split the files once they are created.
874 * Padding track wavs with 0 so if you want to burn those wavs just cdrecord
875 *.wav will do it. Use "-p" to force it when encoding a small (<9) number
876 of files (Closes: #111627).
877 * Added "KEEPWAVS" as a variable to keep those wavs. Default is "no". Can
878 use also "-k" in the command line. (Closes: #160372).
879 This probably should be changed with an option to move the wav files to
880 another directory instead of just keep de abcde.<cdid> directory.
881 * Added documentation comments about OUTPUTTYPE (Closes: #184963).
882 * abcde.conf cleanup: (Closes: #186230, #187400).

1083 * The "Run With Scissors" Release
1084 * Various Artists support by Kevin Everets

1135 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 17 Aug 2000

1145 * Removed -e, -v, and -V, since abcde will now prompt you if you want to
1146 edit or otherwise muck with the data after you have a chance to see it.
1148 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 22 Jun 2000
1152 * The "That wasn't chicken" release.
1153 * Remote distributed encoding had a bad bug in 1.1 - work to be done
1154 remotely was duplicated locally (everything still turned out ok - there
1155 was just no speedup). Fixed that.

1229 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 10 Jan 2000
1233 * The "Get it Before the World Implodes" Release
1234 * Added -D (debugging option, outputs debugging information to stderr).
1235 Very useful for submitting bug reports, hint hint hint :)
1236 Just do 'abcde -D 2>logfile' and include logfile in your bug report.

1259 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 28 Nov 1999
1263 * Removed parallelization of silent encoder processes
1265 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 16 Nov 1999

1275 * Fixed some output issues regarding background encoding that cropped up in
1278 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 7 Nov 1999
1282 * New name. A Better CD Encoder. cdgrab was already taken - the original
1283 cdgrab name belongs to a CDDA reading program for DOS dating back to
1284 1993. It's still in use and active development, so I'm changing the
1285 name of cdgrab instead. See this URL for a description of the original
1286 cdgrab: http://www.scn.rain.com/pub/cdrom/cdgrab.txt
1288 Your old /etc/cdgrab.conf and/or ~/.cdgrab.conf can simply be
1289 renamed to /etc/abcde.conf and ~/.abcde.conf.
1291 The program name is now 'abcde'.
1293 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 2 Nov 1999
1297 * cdgrab 0.7 through 0.8.2 would leave around cdgrab.xxxxxx
1298 tempfiles with -j. Fixed that.

1301 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 28 Oct 1999
1305 * Supports the 'gogo' mp3 encoder

1307 * Added cddb-tool manpage
1309 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 10 Oct 1999
1313 * Cleared up some bashisms from the patches merged in 0.8
1315 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 19 Sep 1999
1319 * Fixed a bug where if multiple tracks (but not the entire CD) was
1320 specificed explicitly, cdgrab would loop forever after the first track
1321 * Now uses Debian's sensible-editor wrapper if available
1322 * Merged in patches from Nathaniel J Smith that puts cddb lookup
1323 functionality in a separate script, cddb-tool
1324 * Adds WAVOUTPUTDIR environment variable for those running out of space in
1327 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 26 Aug 1999
1331 * Yet another quick fix to finish what 0.7.6 started - cdgrab should now
1332 handle multiple inexact matches as well. (Thanks again to Robert Macaulay)
1334 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 12 Aug 1999
1338 * Another quick bugfix release - hopefully this will handle inexact matches
1339 properly now. (Thank you Robert Macaulay :)
1341 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 9 Aug 1999
1345 * Quick bugfix release - with any luck I can start on 0.8 soon :)
1346 * **** YOU WILL NEED TO EDIT CDGRAB.CONF **** if you use lame as
1347 /usr/bin/lamer. The default program name is now 'lame' as of lame v3.0.
1348 If you don't want to touch your lame installation, put the following in
1349 your cdgrab.conf: "LAME=lamer"
1350 * Omits -w from cdparanoia commands
1351 * Depends on cdparanoia-bin or cdparanoia now - this accommodates the recent
1352 cdparanoia package namechange.
1353 * Fixed a stealth-whitespace typo at line 495. Thanks go to Gregory T.
1354 Norris for tracking this down.
1356 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 13 Jul 1999
1360 * Now only uses the first match from a CDDB datafile for the track
1361 information, this works around a cddb glitch some of you may have
1363 * Default config file now gets version number from program.
1364 * added 'debug' option to CDROMREADERSYNTAX to get cdparanoia to only rip
1365 the first 5 seconds of a track. This is very useful to those debugging
1366 cdgrab, makes things go much faster. This will also prevent me releasing
1368 * Now puts options last on the encoder command line if you are using
1369 bladeenc or l3enc, this should allow the proper use of these encoders
1370 with additional commandline options (thanks to Justin Hugh Daly for
1372 * m3u PLAYLIST SUPPORT! Check out the new -p and -P options!
1374 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 7 Jun 1999
1378 * Fixes wget calling method
1379 * -l/LOWDISK documented
1380 * Fixes the lowdisk #2 option so it exits cleanly
1381 * Lets you enter track info for CDs without CDDB matches now
1383 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 23 May 1999
1387 * Woops, left some debugging code in 0.7.1 - if you have truckloads of 80kb
1390 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 16 May 1999
1394 * LOWDISK/-l option added for those who don't have the disk space to run a
1395 parallelized session.
1396 * MAXPROCS added to config file
1397 * CDDB handling revisited - cdgrab should now properly handle CD's with
1398 multiple or inexact CDDB entries.
1400 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 14 May 1999
1404 * Parallelizes ripping and encoding - this may take substantially more disk
1405 space temporarily (up to 500MB or so depending on how fast your CPU is
1406 compared to your cdrom drive) but cdgrab will be done with your CD
1408 * Allows for SMP optimizations (multiple encoders running at once) with the
1410 * Output fix for TOC printing
1411 * cd-discid split off into it's own package
1413 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 7 May 1999
1417 * Fixes encoder and cdrom reader option-passing bug
1419 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 4 Apr 1999

1424 * Removed a bashism from the usage function
1426 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 29 Mar 1999
1430 * Tacks a .wav extension to the wave data temporary file to make bladeenc
1432 * Munges /'s to _'s now instead of eating them
1433 * Adds command-line option configuration options for backend programs
1434 * Properly zero-pads the TRACKNUM variable
1436 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 28 Mar 1999
1440 * Added support for inexact or multiple CDDB matches
1441 * Properly bombs out if CDDB can't come up with a match
1442 (without CDDB, you might as well use cdparanoia -B)
1444 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 18 Mar 1999
1448 * Added ALBUMFILE, fixed manpage reference to it
1449 * Deletes editor backups from 'cdgrab -e' automagically
1450 (I wish mutt did this :)
1451 * Bombs out if there's no CD in the drive
1452 * Bombs out if any necessary external programs don't exist
1453 * Encourages people to use brackets for OUTPUTFORMAT variables to
1454 handle formats like Artist/TrackName_Number.mp3
1456 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 16 Mar 1999
1460 * Fixed one thinko in user preferences loading and another in the tagger
1461 * New option syntax - if you used to specify a cdrom device through the
1462 command line, use 'cdgrab -d device' now to get the same result.
1463 * Allows you to edit CDDB response data before using it (-e)
1464 * Added support for getting a user-specified selection of tracks
1465 * Added support for user-specified output file formats
