3 * Replace non-portable sed code for generating offset list with some
4 simple awk instead. Should now work on FreeBSD again.
5 * Deal with bizarre cdda2wav behaviour when doing cdtext lookup - it
6 writes the track information to *stdin*. Closes Issue #89:
7 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=89
11 * Fix up lookup code to deal with spaces etc. in directory names
12 * Cope with "stub" releases in Musicbrainz
13 * Always call glyrc with LC_ALL=C. Thanks to Andreas Vögele for the

16 * Add a link to the CDDB data format in the abcde man page. Closes
17 Issue 81: https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81
18 * More fixups of track number padding. Thanks to John Straw for the
21 -- Steve McIntyre <93sam@debian.org> Thu, 02 Aug 2018 23:07:12 +0800
25 * Merged Debian packaging files updates
26 * Fixups in the new Musicbrainz code:
27 + Cope with not finding an entry for a CD!
28 + Fix (again!) dealing with CDs with no release events
30 -- Steve McIntyre <93sam@debian.org> Fri, 09 Mar 2018 23:01:04 +0000
34 * Add some documentation for the aged CD ripper dagrab. Thanks to
35 Teika Kazura for the notification and suggested documentation. This
36 closes Issue 50: https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50
37 * Work by Matthias Andree <matthias.andree@gmx.de> to address the issue
38 where abcde fails with accented characters from CD-TEXT. The issue and
39 partial fix applied here documented in Issue 53:
40 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53
41 and also in the abcde mailing list:
42 https://lists.einval.com/pipermail/abcde-users/2017-January/000232.html
43 * Allow for embedding of album art downloaded by the getalbumart function.
44 Currently this is available for flac (using metaflac), mp3 (using eyed3),
45 m4a (using AtomicParsley) and WavPack aka wv (using wvtag).
46 This can be invoked in 3 ways:
48 1. Use the commandline '-B' option (this will also call getalbumart)
49 2. Use the commandline '-a embedalbumart' option to add to list of actions
50 3. Use 'embedalbumart' in the 'ACTIONS' list in ~/.abcde.conf
52 Still needs more development but it is perfectly usable at the moment!
53 * Use md5 rather than md5sum under macOS. Thanks to JCount for the bug
54 report and also the fix. This solves Issue 59:
55 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59
56 * Support added for encoding with Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF).
57 Thanks to Massimo Villa for the feature request. FFmpeg is required
58 for the encoding, the container and suffix are 'aiff'.
59 * Allow selection of either cddb or musicbrainz from the command line:
61 -Q Select CDDBMETHOD from the command line. Choice is cddb or musicbrainz.
63 Command line letters are fast running out but the 'Q' option quite neatly
65 * Allow for embedding with do_embedalbumart() for single track encodes when
66 OUTPUTFORMAT and ONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT are different. Thanks to Ashley Gittins
67 for the bug report. This closes Issue 63:
68 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63
69 * Experimental support for embedding albumart with ogg files. The slightly
70 tortuous technique drawn from 2 sources:
72 1. https://github.com/biapy/howto.biapy.com/blob/master/various/mussync-tools
73 2. https://github.com/acabal/scripts/blob/master/ogg-cover-art
75 Testing is strongly encouraged, perhaps the simplest way to test is with:
79 Or the appropriate settings in an ~/.abcde.conf file.
80 * Massive rework of CD lookup code so support multiple sources
81 better. Thanks to Gabriel Rosenkoetter for his initial idea in this
82 area, and to Tomasz Goliński on irc for initial inspiration on how
83 this should work better.
84 There are now 3 different options for CD lookup: cddb, musicbrainz and
85 cdtext. They can all be listed in a comma-separated list for
86 CDDBMETHOD and the code will now call all of them in the sequence
87 listed. All the results will be combined into one list at the end for
88 the user to select, just like would have previously worked for one
89 source only. Closes Issue 42:
90 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42
91 * Fix Musicbrainz ID calculation in makeids()
92 Apply fix suggested by petecollins24@gmail.com; add PREGAP to
93 LEADOUT to correct Musicbrainz ID calculation. Hopefully closes
94 Issue 54: https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54
95 * Fix abcde.mkcue() when handling the --wholedisk option. Thanks to
96 Nino Burini for the patch. Closes Issue 47 and maybe also 45:

102 * Add a more better fix for the year lookup problem in abcde-musicbrainz-tool
103 Thanks to Tom Samstag for the patch. Closes Issue 57:
104 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57
105 * Redirect stderr on "which" calls to clear up error noise on some
106 systems. Closes Issue 56:
107 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56
108 * Add Irix support, based on a patch by abcde@canavan.de. Closes Issue 29:
109 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29
110 * Rework abcde-musicbrainz-tool to work with WebService::MusicBrainz 1.x
111 Thanks to Nicolas Guillaumin for the patch. Closes Issue 60:
112 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60
113 Also added a specific dependency on version 1.0.4 or newer, so
114 abcde-musicbrainz-tool will abort if the version found is too old.
115 Since tweaked to deal with multi-artist albums and tracks more
117 * Add resume support in do_getalbumart()
118 * Fix getopts setup for "P". Thanks to Alan W. Kerr for reporting this.
119 * Major set of code cleanups to fix up lots of warnings found with
120 shellcheck, and a few other style issues:
121 + Lots of quoting fixes
122 + Use $( instead of `
123 + Stop using -o and -a syntax with if [ - use || or && instead
124 + Wrap and shorten some very long lines
125 * Wrap some output messages so they fit on a standard width console
126 * Factor out repeated code and make page() more useful
127 * Add version check before resuming from an old ripping run
129 -- Steve McIntyre <93sam@debian.org> Thu, 08 Mar 2018 00:14:56 +0000
133 * Fix silly error introduced in abcde-musicbrainz-tool when fixing bug
134 30. Thanks to Thomas Klausner for the bug/patch. Closes Issue 52:
135 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52
137 -- Steve McIntyre <93sam@debian.org> Wed, 18 Jan 2017 11:02:38 +0000
141 * Make fdkaac the default for m4a encoding. Faac can still be selected
142 for m4a encding via ~/.abcde.conf file but best not to :).
143 * Split user-definable mungefilename function into mungetrackname,
144 mungeartistname, and mungealbumname, each of which default to
145 mungefilename Thanks to Gerald Turner for the patch and enhancement

156 Gabriel Rosenkoetter for the patch. Closes Issue 42:
157 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42
158 * Add Recommends on glyrc and imagemagick in Debian packaging. Closes
160 * Fix up handling of the first few sectors when reading
161 from a whole-CD flac file or using cdparanoia in one-track
162 mode. Thanks to Matthias König for the patch. Closes Issue 44:
163 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44
164 * Tweak the fix in musicbrainz for handling sketchy returned data
165 some more. Hopefully closes Issue 30:
166 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30
167 * Re-enable some commented out cdparanoia/debug code in do_discid.
169 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14

179 Closes Debian Bug #842178
181 -- Steve McIntyre <93sam@debian.org> Sat, 14 Jan 2017 00:53:48 +0000
185 * When using musicbrainz, don't assume that there will be release
186 events attached to a particular CD release. Bug fix for the addition
187 of year information support in 2.7.1. Thanks to Ed Oehler and Alan W.
188 Kerr for debugging help.
189 * Support for output to the Matroska container (mka). Encoder
190 is FFmpeg (or avconv). Typical conf file syntax would be:
192 MKAENCODERSYNTAX=ffmpeg
194 FFMPEGENCOPTS="-c:a ac3 -b:a 448k"
197 Thanks to Shantiq and Fakeoutdoorsman of the Ubuntu Forums
199 * Add id3tag mp3 tagger as this is the tagger available to
200 OpenBSD users. Thanks to Christopher Zimmermann for the
201 notification and patch.

203 bug report and patch. This closes Issue 26:
204 http://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26
205 * Fix for 'expansion of $REDIR' bug on MacOSX. Thanks to Von Welch
206 for the bug report. This closes Issue 22:

222 McIntyre as well as ReaperX7, bobzilla, 55020, GazL and dugan from
223 the Slackware Forums. This closes Issue 4:
224 http://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4
225 * Fix incorrect use of 'break'. Thanks to Reuben Thomas for the
226 bug report and fix which closes Issue 6:

230 http://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8
231 * Add YEAR and GENRE variables to do_getalbumart(). Thanks to
232 Johannes Gernemann for this patch which closes issue 9:
233 http://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9
234 * Support added for encoding to True Audio using tta while still
235 supporting the older ttaenc. Tagging is with mid3v2.
236 * Support added for encoding to MPEG-1 Audio Layer II (mp2)
237 with either twolame or FFmpeg / avconv. Tagging with mid3v2.
238 * Encoding to WavPack with FFmpeg. Some slight changes to WavPack
239 syntax with backward compatibility built in for abcde 2.7.
240 * Encoding to m4a container with FFmpeg or avconv. This allows
241 for alac encoding with FFmpeg's reverse engineered alac encoder.
242 * AAC encoding with fhgaacenc via Wine. Tagging is provided
243 by AtomicParsley which has been added back to abcde :). This
244 allows encoding with HE-AAC v2, unavailable with qaac.
245 * Support added for AAC encoding with qaac via Wine. This
246 also allows for Apple Lossless Audio Coding (alac) using
247 either qaac or refalac. This closes Issue 142, thanks to
248 Bernd Fischer-Krellenberg for the enhancement request.
249 * Grab year information too when using musicbrainz. Thanks to
250 Marco Hoppstaedter for the patch. Closes issue 10:

258 Andreas Kusalananda Kahari for this and also thanks
259 to Andrew Willis for the report which triggered the
260 rewrite. Thanks also to shughes for an earlier report.
261 This closes Issues 72 and 135.
262 * TRACKTOTAL now written to flac and ogg files. Thanks to
263 monkth for the notification. This resolves Issue 76.
264 * Support added for the downloading of album art. A huge
265 thank you to Johannes Gernemann who came forward with
266 the technique used and also the original patch. An equally
267 huge thanks to Richard who extended and greatly enhanced
268 the original patch. Detailed documentation added to the
269 abcde FAQ document although the sane defaults in place
270 will guarantee a good experience even for those who do
271 not read documentation! This closes Issue 33.
272 * Support added for ripping with the GNU Compact Disc
273 Input and Control library (libcdio) as requested by
274 both gentoo and NixOS. The utility used is cd-paranoia
275 and can best be called from a conf file as follows:
277 CDROMREADERSYNTAX=libcdio
278 CD_PARANOIA=cd-paranoia
279 CDPARANOIAOPTS="--never-skip=40 --verbose"
281 with the CD_PARANOIA variable giving the correct path
282 to cd-paranoia. I believe that cd-paranoia uses the same
283 options as cdparanoia but if I am proven incorrect this
284 will need to be rectified...
285 * Fix for encoding with bladeenc and usepipes.
286 * Fix for broken ripping with dagrab. Closes Issue 140.
287 * Fix for diskutil selecting wrong disk on OS X. Thanks
288 to Richard for this fix which closes Issue 139.

290 the abcde-musicbrainz-tool. Thanks yet again to
291 Matthias Andree for this work! Closes issue 138.
292 * New variables for m4a/aac encoding options to be
293 manipulated in a users ~/.abcde.conf file:
294 1. FAACENCOPTS for faac encoding options
295 2. NEROAACENCOPTS for neroAacEnc options
296 3. FDKAACENCOPTS for fdkaacenc options
297 Note that these options replace the now obsolete AACENCOPTS.
298 * Check added for neroAacTag when encoding with neroAacEnc.
299 * Several additions to usepipes with the following encoders
303 3. mpcenc: Musepack SV8
308 The cd ripper cdda2wav (icedax) has also been added.
309 * Ripping and encoding with 'usepipes' fixed. This fix
311 * Suggested encoding options for mp3enc added to the sample
312 abcde.conf. Last release of mp3enc in 1998 but it still
313 works flawlessly with a modern abcde!
314 * Suggested encoding options for l3enc added to the sample
315 abcde.conf. Congratulations to abcde which in 2015 still
316 works with l3enc which saw its final release in 1997!
317 * Fix for -o option use with options and multiple outputs.
318 This allows for commandline options such as the following:
319 abcde -o 'flac:-8,mp3:-b 320'
320 Thanks to Matthias Andree for yet another quality patch!
321 This closes Issue 136.
322 * Support added for ReplayGain with WavPack encoding.
323 * Fix for MusePack to allow the use of the SV8 ReplayGain
324 application 'mpcgain'.
325 * Monkey's Audio (ape) encoding added. Tagging is with
326 Robert Muth's apetag. Thanks to Shantiq for testing.
327 * Simplify Opus tagging.This closes Issue 133.
328 * Allow 'clean' when OUTPUTTYPE=wav, broken for some time.
329 Thanks to Roger rogerx.oss<at>gmail.com for showing the
330 problem and demonstrating the fix. This closes Issue 94.
331 * Clarification that CDDBLOCALRECURSIVE=y is required for
332 local CDDB search. Thanks to Reuben Thomas for the
333 notification. This partially resolves Issue 121.
334 * AtomicParsley removed from debian/control, WavPack added.
335 * Details of abcde's handling of faac compiled with and
336 without mp4v2 added as a new entry to FAQs.
337 * Fix to allow display of the 'date' meta tag generated
338 by eyeD3 in vlc, Audacious and friends.
339 Thanks to Reuben Thomas. This closes Issue 126.
340 * Fix for flac floating point error. Thanks to rwvtveer
341 for the patch which closes Issue 113.
342 * Formalised 3 methods of mp3 tagging using ID3TAGV:
343 1.id3v2.4 using eyeD3 (set in abcde as the default)
344 2.id3v2.3 using id3v2
346 Thanks to Adriaan for this patch which fixes issue 101.

483 * clean up indentation on older changelog entries
484 * remove tarball target from Makefile since dir structure
485 has changed now that we use subversion.

521 * Fix syntax error in tagged speex command (Closes: #554406)
522 Ubuntu patch by Michael Helmling.

525 -- Colin Tuckley <colint@debian.org> Sun, 14 Feb 2010 13:09:47 +0000
530 * Corrected REDIR redirection, this time with ifs instead of variable
531 substitution, which did not work (Closes: #527191).
532 * Added TPE2 for Various artists definition (Closes: #521669).
533 * Incorporate syntax error fix patch from Andrew Ruder.

558 -- Colin Tuckley <colint@debian.org> Sun, 02 Aug 2009 13:32:30 +0100
564 * The "It took me a long time to get this release out" release.
565 * abcde.1: remove -M in favour of "-a cue" (Closes: #382614, #396505).
566 * Added a check for a DOCUE already set in the command line
568 * Added -q <Q> as a quality option.
569 * PREGAP was not set in some situations (Closes: #390170).
570 * Added -nv to wget for "no verbose" output, to avoid wget complaining it
571 cannot be quiet and verbose at the same time if "verbose = on" is set in
572 ~/.wgetrc (Closes: #388715).
573 * Added XS-Vcs-Svn: field to control file.
574 * Added some hints if we are using Debian for what packages need to be
575 installed if their binaries are not found.
576 * Spelling mistakes corrected (thanks to Ville Skytta).
577 * Unset GREP_OPTIONS to avoid things like printing number in the beginning of

580 Steinkuehler) (Closes: #395108).
581 * Corrected man page wrapping. Thanks to Edward J. Shornock
583 * Adds DISCNUMBER to Ogg/Vorbis and FLAC when using -W.
584 * Minor typos (Closes: #458995).
585 * Added AtomicParley for AAC encoding. Thanks to Bill Adams.
586 * Added by Marc Staveley:
588 - track comments if null and present in CDDB.
589 * Corrected copyright information (Closes: #516535).
592 * Added new uploader (Closes: #529695).

601 -- Colin Tuckley <colint@debian.org> Sat, 25 Jul 2009 09:50:42 +0100
605 * Default to UNICODE (UTF8) tags and comments (Closes: #282332).
606 - Added CDDBPROTO option in config file (Closes: #349951)
607 * Added a missing "INDEX 01" entry for CUE sheet creation.
608 * Avoid completing the encoding of files if we aborted previously.
609 * Embed the CUE sheet if we have a cuesheet file and we have a single FLAC
610 file, even if we are not tagging. This way we can use the file as a source
611 even if it is not tagged/named properly.
612 * Fails to quote filenames properly (Closes: #355296)
613 * Introduced VA/ONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT.
614 * Added a missing check for AACENCODER.
615 * Updated config file with some new AAC bits.
616 * Updated FSF address.
617 * Corrected NetBSD options for ftp (Thanks to Marius).
618 * The final 2.4 will have "cuefile" as an action instead of as a flag.
619 * Create the cuefile when extracting from a FLAC file.
620 * Small bugs (Charles Steinkuehler):
621 - Added missing quotes (Closes: #375710)
622 - toolame is included in Debian as default MP3 encoder
623 - Use IFS to preserve spaces when adding metadata to a cuefile
624 * Small documentation changes:
625 - abcde.1 (Closes: #364978)
626 * The following entries have in common that both add an internal cue2discid
627 function. I will evaluate which one is more accurate and decide which one
628 to use. Right now they are not conflicting:
629 - Added internal mkcue and cue2discid functions (Charles Steinkuehler) and
630 add a check for internal abcde.<function> to make sure we are using the
631 correct version (not sure if needed ;)
632 - Added an internal implementation of cue2discid, so there is no need for
633 an external program to do the conversion. Thanks to Michael (sorry, his
634 mail does not have a surname).
635 * cue2discid is now an internal function, so no need for including the
636 python script in the path (Closes: #378407)
637 * cddb-tool.1 typo (Thanks to A. Costa) (Closes: #351775)
638 * abcde.1 typo (Thanks to David L. Anselmi) (Closes: #364978)
639 * Set proper nice values to not separate encoding and reading in the pipes
640 situation, while having a high priority process running in the system.
641 Also, set proper nice values to tagging tasks. Reading should remain as
642 the default higher priority task in the abcde flow (Closes: #359156)
643 * Standards bumped to 3.7.2.1, no changes needed.

652 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 07 Feb 2006 23:48:00 +0200
656 * Repaired multiple output encoding (Closes: #351362).
657 * Added missing space on a [] test statement.
658 * Added "default" action, so that one can add things on top of what we do
659 regularly, without having to list everything: "-a default,playlist" works.
660 * Restored all the > /dev/null instead of using grep -q, since it is not
662 * Added Solaris OS entry, in case we need to define things for it.
664 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 05 Feb 2006 15:24:00 +0200
668 * The "Mao es nuestro indiscutible lider" release.
669 * Check the CDROMREADER options we have in Debian which we depend on. Thanks
670 to Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo for finding the error.
671 * New recursive option for local CDDB repositories, to cope with other
672 players saving the entries.
673 * Brand new CD backup procedure: rip a CD into a single FLAC trac with an
674 embedded cuesheet using "-1 -M -o flac" and proceed to rip your tracks
675 from the obtained file using "-d file.flac -o <format>". It needs
676 cue2discid script from the examples directory to work. OH! If you manage
677 to get it working with bash, we can get rid of the python dependency...
678 * Initial steps to make abcde working with musicbrainz, although it is not
680 * Added a missing $ in a variable (Closes: #345629).
681 * Added -p to the mkdir's for $ABCDETEMPDIR (Closes: #345630).
682 * Added iconv + converted to utf-8 the charset of a ready-to-send CDDB
683 entry (Closes: #345708).
684 * Added AAC (Mpeg4) support.
685 * Small cd-discid update.
687 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 19 Jan 2006 23:27:40 +0200
691 * Missing bits in the 2.3.99.1 changelog:
692 - Man page: added information about -z (Debug option).
693 - Corrected config file with the BATCHNORM/NOGAP split
695 - Uses /bin/bash for the time being... We need to get some substitution
696 functions/operations for the bashisms we have: Closes: #337139.
697 * Config bits with corrected typos
698 * Adding musicbrainz support. First bits.
699 * Reworked comparison for numerical answer when selecting a CDDB output.
702 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Mon, 12 Dec 2005 23:46:58 +0200
706 * Both -z and -C unset EJECTCD to avoid ejecting the CD when a) we are
707 debuging and b) we are not using the CD.
708 * If we are not reading the CD, set "loud" to see all the output messages
709 (that is, in most of the cases, the first encoding).
710 * Added -f to force some events that otherwise would erase files from our
711 current run. In the standard configuration ("OUTPUT=vorbis") the following
712 actions will need a "-f" to force the last one:
713 abcde -a read,encode -o ogg,flac
714 abcde -a tag,move,clean
715 During the second run abcde should complain that it is trying to erase the
716 working directory while the it has not performed any action on the FLAC
717 files, which we encoded previously.
718 * Convert the old cdparanoia-audio-tracks file into a status entry to avoid
719 eating files from previous rounds using an early version (Closes: #341050)
721 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 29 Nov 2005 23:27:20 +0200
725 * Added diff choice to CDDB entries ("1,4").
726 * Added SHOWCDDBFIELDS to allow the user to show YEAR and GENRE in the
728 * Suggests mkcue, and erase old cdgrab info since sarge is out.
729 * Changed cdparanoia-audio-tracks to use the status file to save the data.
730 * Added the possibility of using a singletrack flac file with an embedded
731 cuesheet as a source of tracks.
732 * Added -z for easy and quick debug.
733 * BATCH has been split into two options: BATCHNORM which allows, by using
734 -b, to use the -a normalize in all the files at once, and NOGAP, that by
735 using -g, introduces the lame's --nogap extension.
736 * Added replygain using the appropriate tags with Ogg/Vorbis and Ogg/FLAC.
737 * Replaygain is an action, not a flag, since it can be performed individually
738 in the chain of events.
739 * debian/{rules,control}:
740 - Changed the target directory from tmp to abcde, to accommodate to compat
742 - Bump standards to 3.6.2.1. No changes needed.
743 * Added "decho" as a DEBUG output for some specific debug variables.
744 * Added USEPIPES file, with information about how to add Unix pipes support.
745 * Added one more checking for PIPES*_* unset variables (which means support
746 is not added to abcde).
747 * Added toolame as an optional MP3 encoder.
749 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 8 Oct 2005 17:05:32 +0300
753 * Some patches from Tom Spindler <dogcow () babymeat ! com>
754 - Added some quoting to the md5sum checkings, since the variables could be
756 - NetBSD bits to use ftp instead on anything else to fetch stuff.
757 * do_playlist needs to convert the OUTPUT to the CONTAINERS to avoid ending
758 with playlists pointing to .vorbis files (Closes: #326487).
760 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 3 Sep 2005 16:50:07 +0300
764 * Rips done in a single track were getting tagged as Various. Corrected.
765 * Possibly eliminated some bashisms from using a variable as a variable
766 (Closes: #324399). Thanks to A Costa.
768 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 26 Aug 2005 01:36:35 +0300
772 * Too fast... I forgot to make the tarball and change the version strings in
773 several places. Fixed.
775 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 19 Aug 2005 00:44:37 +0300
779 * The new "I knew there were going to be bugs" upstream release!
780 * MKCUE needs to be passed some $CDROM as an option, or otherwise it will
781 not read the CDROM, in case is not /dev/cdrom.
782 * Also, make the CUEREADER a bit more general, since we might be using other
785 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 18 Aug 2005 23:44:20 +0300
789 * New upstream release!
790 * Defining the tracknumber now resets the first track if given a number
791 different than 1 (that is: abcde -T 1 2-10 creates songs 1 to 9).
792 * Modified the FAQ to reflect the changes on Marillat's repo
794 * Should be "space" safe: works properly when the working directory contains
795 a space (Closes: #147493).
796 * Repared the CD query for the discid code. When failing to read a disc,
797 actually report that there might be no disc in the drive.
798 * Right now, walk over the different encoders we Depends: on in Debian and
799 use the one available: if a user has a FLAC encoder, abcde will no install
800 vorbis-tools, so it will fail to run out of the box (Closes: #321216)
801 * Added CUE support. Still experimental...
802 * Added FLAC on Ogg. Still not activated, since we cannot get comments added
803 as a post-process action.
804 * Applied patches from Fedora Core (Credit goes to Nils Philippsen
805 <nphilipp@redhat.com>)
806 * Added a post_read() function to be executed before ejecting the CD.
807 * Typos reported by A Costa corrected (Closes: #311463)
808 * Problem with abcde being run in a directory with files containing only
809 numbers solved (Closes: #313628).
810 * vorbiscomment uses now "-R" (Closes: #303566).
811 * "-t" and "-T" use the first track as a starter for the track list.
813 * Added CDPARANOIACDROMBUS option to define -d in case of using IDE and SCSI
814 in case of using ide-scsi emulation layer (Closes: #290768).
815 * Define metaflac in abcde.conf (Closes: #303555)
816 * Added the default "-f" option to the configuration file, to represent the
817 actual default option.
819 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 11 Aug 2005 00:47:27 +0300
823 * Double quotation added to solve parsing * as a wildcard (Closes: #302904).
824 Thanks to Christian Grigis for the patch. Also (Closes: #268088).
826 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sun, 3 Apr 2005 18:18:03 +0000
830 * CDPARANOIAOUTPUT missed some quotes.
831 * Removed some useless lines.
832 * If BATCH is used with ONETRACK, disable BATCH.
833 * Small typos with CDROM comparisons.
834 * Logic for CDROM variable improved.
835 * Version bumped to 2.2.5 and targeted to Sarge.
837 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 2 Apr 2005 21:05:18 +0300
841 * Changed the way we call flac, to adapt to the new times:
842 --import-vc-from= to --import-tags-from.
843 * DOSPLAYLIST was not included in the list of options.
844 * Options passed to the encoder by using <-o ogg:"-b 192"> are now
845 supported. One can modify the way abcde encodes just for the current CD.
846 * Unfortunately I forgot to add the starting number for tags in Ogg. For
847 MP3 is a bit more difficult, since it needs changing the X/YY code.
848 * Also, the order of the tags in metaflac is important for the utf8 names.
849 Thanks to Frederik Juul Christiani (Closes: #297482)
850 * Added CDROMID in the .conf file, for reader programs that need it
852 * Added a check for cdparanoia when encountering data-only CDs.
854 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 1 Mar 2005 15:14:24 +0200
859 - suggest normalize-audio, since it changed its name (Closes: #287674).
860 * Use the default while erasing an existing playlist (Closes: #288835).
861 * Does not destroy track information when a track contains "=" in the name
864 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 22 Jan 2005 15:35:46 +0200
868 * Quotes missing when evaluating a value (Closes: #284018).
870 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 3 Dec 2004 09:20:18 +0200
874 * Spotted and solved a problem with the way the data tracks were detected
877 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Wed, 24 Nov 2004 22:47:54 +0200
881 * New release! Let's see if abcde 2.2 gets into Sarge.
882 * Added support for MPP/MP+(Musepack) encoding. Although I am trying to
883 get 2.2 for Debian Sarge release, mpc seems safe enough to introduce. See
884 corecodec.org for code.
885 * Some POSIX shell corrections (making the code more portable). Thanks to
886 Guillem Jover for pointing the problem out.
887 * CDYEAR is also passed to do_move(), so one can use it for sorting the
889 * Small MacOS X fix, allowing directories with "()" to work. Thanks to Evan
891 - On the MacOS X, I still do not know if abcde works correctly. If does
892 not, please, drop a note. Or else.
893 * DOSPLAYLIST also changes "/" with "\".
894 * DATA tracks are now excluded from the ripping process using internally
895 the cdparanoia "-Q" query option. If using another ripper, it does not
896 work (at least there is no support for them in abcde)
897 (Closes: #112692, #117412).
898 * New "0" choice for "None of the above" has been introduced. If selected, a
899 template is created and the user encouraged to edit it (Closes: #147683).
900 * New options for when the PLAYLIST already exists: erase, append or keep.
901 * Bug fixes along the code:
902 - abcde.1 corrections and additions
903 - abcde corrections and code reorganization. abcde now exits earlier if
904 some of the options are incompatible. Also the actions are set as
905 variables earlier, so we use less calls to external tools.
906 - abcde.conf additions
907 * The GENRE is munged now in its own mungegenre function, so that no more
908 upper-to-lowercase is done (forced) except if the default is used.
909 * Examples added to the tarball and /usr/share/doc/abcde/examples with two
910 scripts to make abcde kind-of-a ripper daemon.
911 * Changed to experimental to have an stable 2.1.x version in Sarge.
912 * Add CDDB information to Ogg/Vorbis and FLAC files (Closes: #265358).
913 * Added INTERACTIVE option. Set it to "n" and there you go, without user
915 * Changes normalize to normalize-audio (Closes: #267053)
916 * Copes with wav files being erased by the ripping tool.
917 * Small patch to support ()'s in the path under MacOSX. Thanks to Evan Jones
918 for noticing and sending the patch.
919 * Added -w for COMMENT seed. Used to give a comment to a given CD.
920 * Option "-t <number>" added to modify the numbering from a starting point
921 (Closes: #95828). Geez! That is low bug number...
922 * Added -T to modify also the tag entries on the songs. Currently available
923 for FLAC and Ogg/Vorbis.
924 * Removes trailing spaces (Closes: #280382).
925 * TRACKNAME now combines multi-lines from long CDDB entries.

939 * The "Let's have a good abcde in Sarge" release.
940 * The mungefile() function changes * with + by default to avoid creating
941 directories with the start expanded to the files found in the current
942 directory. abcde2.2 will most likelly contain a better workaround.
943 * Correct default OUTPUTFORMAT in man page (Closes: #250649)
945 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 30 Jul 2004 10:16:46 +0300
949 * Encoding the whole CD in one file is now possible. Use "-1" as a flag
952 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 9 Apr 2004 17:04:58 +0000
956 * Do not release in a hurry. The eject program is not needed if CDSPEEDVALUE
957 is not set and no EJECT action is performed (Closes: #242506)
959 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 8 Apr 2004 05:18:49 +0000
963 * Dud! Those missing quotes are going to kill me. Quotes restored and
966 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Wed, 7 Apr 2004 06:30:31 +0000
970 * New setting for the CD speed. Some drives have a higher failure ratio when
971 spinning at high speed.
972 * Added a pre-read function for preparations. Uses include closing the CD
973 tray (Closes: #137548).
974 * Added COMMENT part in OggFlac metadata.
975 * Documentation update: README, abcde.1
976 * Do not tag GENRE and DATE in Ogg/Vorbis if CDDB does not provide them
978 * Solved bug with batch encoding, thanks to Travis McKay.
979 * When *DATAPREFIX was set, the playlist creation was made without newline.
980 * Added >&2 redirection to visualize the "Erase playlist" question
982 * Added the option "-m" to modify the resulting playlist, to contain CRLF at
983 the end of every line, letting some hardware players which insist with
984 DOS-style files to use them. Also, added DOSPLAYLIST as a config option.
985 * When using a selected, localy cached CDDB entry, we forgot to show the
986 selection when asking the user for editing the choice. Now we show it.
987 * Improved the logic in the order of events when using a local CDDB repo.

993 * EDITOR is called now evaluating the variable, so it works with full path
995 * Patch for making md5sum a variable (since some systems use a different
997 * Correction by "huf" <mihi at mail.eol.hu>. The test code in line 376
999 * The PADDING code and some CDDB funcions were *really* messy. Now it looks
1000 cleaner, works faster and some not needed network operations are no
1001 longer performed when we are working with local CDDB repositories.
1002 * Added "-V" for extra verbosity (on slow networks the user might be waiting
1003 and wondering is something is happening).
1004 * Solved a bug with the non-interactive code.
1006 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Mon, 16 Feb 2004 00:13:12 +0000
1010 * Missing quotes restored (Closes: #228648).
1012 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 20 Jan 2004 06:43:04 +0000
1016 * Solved the problem with re-runs of multiple choices not showing all the
1017 choices (Closes: #228405) (this was a quick one)
1018 * We now show the selected CDDB entry on a second run, instead of all of
1019 them (not that one should stop abcde, but just in case). This way
1020 consecutive interrupted runs obtain the same results.
1022 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sun, 18 Jan 2004 22:42:15 +0000
1026 * Check if normalizer is found in the PATH (Closes: #228014)
1027 * Added (commented) bits to check if the CD being processed is the CD on the
1028 tray, so that if differs we do not eject it.
1029 * Store locally the CDDB information, under $HOME/.cddb since it is being
1030 used by Grip (at least). PATH is user defined (Closes: #88048)
1031 * If you are using cdda2wav and SCSI drives, you can set CDROMID for the
1032 SCSI drive, since it differs from the cd-discid CDROM parameter
1034 * MacOSX keeps on failing because the OS mounts the CD before we finish
1035 ripping it... or something else. Please, test test test the code, and
1036 report your findings. Pretty please. I have not been able to make it work
1037 with the reports I have received.
1039 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 16 Jan 2004 12:06:07 +0000
1043 * Urgent fixes for the FreeBSD and MacOSX bits. When using cdda2wav, the
1044 CDROM variable must be modified depending on the device interface. By now
1045 we will not try to be very smart.
1046 * Added a test for HTTPGETOPTS since it cannot be empty for the default
1048 * Quick release to fix a problem with the CDROM detection code.
1050 * Cleaned a bashism. Thanks to Klaus Ethgen (Closes: #226782).
1051 * Rewrote some parts of the cdda2wav code. Since I do not have a machine
1052 where cdda2wav works, I cannot test the code. The modifications have been
1053 done following user reports. If you use cdda2wav and abcde does not work
1054 for you, please, contact me and we will try to sort things out. Thanks.
1056 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 8 Jan 2004 21:36:23 +0000
1060 * INLINETAG and STARTTRACKNUMBER flags added.
1061 * CDROM checking is now done with a bit more wiselly (Closes: #219768)
1062 * HTTPGET is only requested is "cddb" action is performed.
1063 * Workout the possibility of cdparanoia erasing our wav files
1065 * The default answer for editing CDDB data is now "y" if the disk is
1066 unknown. If not, the default is "n". Requested by Ricky Buchanan.
1067 * Now we do not erase silently any previous $PLAYLISTFILE left behind by a
1068 previous CD ripping (Closes: #220753)
1069 * Write info file with cdda2wav (Closes: #187702).
1070 I do not use cdda2wav myself (me is cd-paranoid) so if anyone using
1071 cdda2wav has a problem with this, please, report.
1072 * CDROM comes in 1,0,0 kind of format for cdda2wav ripper. Corrected with a
1073 quick patch. Kudos go to Mikhail Manuilov <viper5k at pisem dot net> for
1075 * Merged bits to make abcde work under MacOSX. Thanks to Evan Jones.
1076 * Merged bits to avoid FreeDB people anger and to cut down the "abcde." part
1077 of the discid. Now you can set the "-C" command with the directory name.
1078 Kudos go to Bart Samwel.
1079 * Added some info bits to the config file about normalize, requested by
1081 * Added some testing for the wav file before normalizing, to check that the
1082 file is actually there.

1088 * The "First snow in Finland" release.
1089 * One head was missing a "-n"
1090 * Not use relative links when PLAYLISTDATAPREFIX is set (Closes: #165368)
1091 * Stupid use of $OUTPUTTYPE in flac tagging (Closes: #218625)
1093 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sun, 2 Nov 2003 09:05:17 +0000
1097 * Small typo corrected (Closes: #217149)
1098 * KEEPWAVS now sets the "clean" action to "no", so the wavs are kept.
1100 * Quick release fixing a couple of bugs introduced by the padding patch
1102 * Control: Build-Depends-Indep: moved to Build-Depends:, as per
1103 http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-sourcebinarydeps
1106 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 23 Oct 2003 09:49:01 +0000
1110 * The "Engineer" release. Yeah! I graduated!
1111 * Patch applied to solve the track submission interface issues. Kudos to
1112 Marc HE Brockschmidt, again (Closes: #126289)
1113 * Small bug related with DISTMP3NICE solved. Kudos to Wilbert Alberts.
1115 * Padding now creates the list with padded numbers. Test patch. This should
1116 solve the problem with delayed tagging a single file.
1118 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 13 Oct 2003 09:50:09 +0000
1122 * Removed a nasty bug where even if the encode failed, the track was marked
1123 as successfully encoded (Closes: #208391)
1124 * Various Artists has now its own PLAYLIST format (Closes: #137432)
1125 * metaflac path corrected (Closes: #206110)
1126 * Hopefully this version repairs the comment part for Ogg/Vorbis files.
1127 * If nothing breaks, 2.2 will be released as soon as the KNOWNBUG is solved.
1128 * Removed all the inline tagging since it breaks the action chain, except
1129 in Ogg/Speex. Need to check if "vorbiscomment" can be used for it.
1131 * Added DISTMP3NICE variable, to nice the distmp3 program (Closes: #208398)
1133 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 4 Sep 2003 10:53:09 +0000
1137 * Small fixes and patches.
1138 + GENRE can be used for OUTPUTFORMAT and PLAYLISTFORMAT
1139 + id3v2 should work now with -c for comments (Closes: #199949)
1140 + small bug with batch encoding
1141 + Variables are exported before the CDDB functions are called, so they
1142 should use the right variables for the HTTPGET command.
1143 + Tagging also use TRACKS and CDGENRE for MP3 files (kudos to Dirk
1145 + FLAC encoding now uses dismp3 to encode remotely (kudos to Taylor and
1146 Kevin Cramer). HANDLE WITH CARE ;)
1147 Also FLAC now uses CDGENRE and CDYEAR for tagging.
1148 * tail/head change: -1 has been deprecated. Noted by Stephan Kulow.
1149 * Ogg/Speex support added, for speech encoding (Closes #204635)
1150 * Documentation update (Closes: #198825)
1151 * Patch for "=" in the name applied (Closes: #197199)
1153 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 14 Aug 2003 16:45:29 +0000
1158 + COMMENT should work now.
1159 + Aesthetic padding on the total amount of tracks.
1161 + CDROM is now checked after reading the user defined entries.
1162 * Remove trailing args from $EDITOR when checking -x: Closes #179222.

1168 * Makefile was missing cddb-tool.1.
1169 * Introduced dagrab as CD ripping utility.
1170 * cddb-tool seq calls converted to functions. No more distro dependencies.
1171 * WGET* variables converted to HTTPGET* variables. FreeBSD can safelly use
1173 * More FreeBSD specific bits: CDROM and EJECT changes.
1174 * Typo in abcde.conf
1175 * Added CDDBPROTO for specifying the protocol level of the cddb query.
1176 * CDDB protocol upgraded to 5. CDYEAR and CDGENRE are now used for CD
1178 * COMMENT is now used for inline tagging with oggenc (my mistake it was
1179 missing): Closes: #191475.
1181 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 10 May 2003 07:49:22 +0000
1185 * Documentation updates: Closes: #186230.
1186 * Usual set of bug fixes and corrections.
1187 * Default behaviour of VAOUTPUTFORMAT output changed to avoid multiple
1188 directories for a same album. I think the format is more logical, and you
1189 can always split the files once they are created.
1190 * Padding track wavs with 0 so if you want to burn those wavs just cdrecord
1191 *.wav will do it. Use "-p" to force it when encoding a small (<9) number
1192 of files (Closes: #111627).
1193 * Added "KEEPWAVS" as a variable to keep those wavs. Default is "no". Can
1194 use also "-k" in the command line. (Closes: #160372).
1195 This probably should be changed with an option to move the wav files to
1196 another directory instead of just keep de abcde.<cdid> directory.
1197 * Added documentation comments about OUTPUTTYPE (Closes: #184963).
1198 * abcde.conf cleanup: (Closes: #186230, #187400).

1210 * Since abcde does not depend on eject, an execution test ([-x]) was added,
1211 but that means abcde needs a test for eject in the patch if -x is passed:
1213 * Merged some more bits from Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt: Closes: #126289.
1214 * A bit of more info in abcde.conf: Closes: #184963.

1543 * Added ID3COMMENT config option
1545 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 10 Jan 2000
1549 * The "Get it Before the World Implodes" Release
1550 * Added -D (debugging option, outputs debugging information to stderr).
1551 Very useful for submitting bug reports, hint hint hint :)
1552 Just do 'abcde -D 2>logfile' and include logfile in your bug report.
1553 * Now uses id3's new -T option to embed track numbers in ID3 tags.
1554 * Fixed cddb-tool output for FreeDB submissions, closes: #51986.
1555 Thanks to Clint Adams for spotting the problem
1556 * New -v switch for Various Artist CD's (thanks to Magenta Hari Nezumi)
1558 * Fixed minor cddb-tool manpage buglet
1559 * Fixed cddb-tool output for shell quoting, thanks to Philipp Meier.
1562 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 31 Dec 1999
1566 * Added gogo explainations to manpages and example config file
1567 * Added code by Stuart Ballard <sballard@netreach.net> to intelligently use
1568 relative paths for playlist files
1569 * Added PLAYLISTDATAPREFIX config option for those who wish to prefix their
1570 playlist data with things like URL's
1571 * Fixed bug added in 0.8 where the multiple inexact match choice selection
1572 would be hidden to the user (cddb-tool wasn't sending all user output to
1573 stderr as it should).
1575 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 28 Nov 1999
1579 * Removed parallelization of silent encoder processes
1581 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 16 Nov 1999
1585 * Removed bashisms (again :)
1587 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 14 Nov 1999
1591 * Fixed some output issues regarding background encoding that cropped up in
1594 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 7 Nov 1999
1598 * New name. A Better CD Encoder. cdgrab was already taken - the original
1599 cdgrab name belongs to a CDDA reading program for DOS dating back to
1600 1993. It's still in use and active development, so I'm changing the
1601 name of cdgrab instead. See this URL for a description of the original
1602 cdgrab: http://www.scn.rain.com/pub/cdrom/cdgrab.txt
1604 Your old /etc/cdgrab.conf and/or ~/.cdgrab.conf can simply be
1605 renamed to /etc/abcde.conf and ~/.abcde.conf.
1607 The program name is now 'abcde'.
1609 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 2 Nov 1999
1613 * cdgrab 0.7 through 0.8.2 would leave around cdgrab.xxxxxx
1614 tempfiles with -j. Fixed that.
1615 * Fixed quoting issues regarding spaces in output files
1617 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 28 Oct 1999
1621 * Supports the 'gogo' mp3 encoder
1622 * cddb-tool escapes double quotes when sourcing its temp files
1623 * Added cddb-tool manpage
1625 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 10 Oct 1999
1629 * Cleared up some bashisms from the patches merged in 0.8
1631 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 19 Sep 1999
1635 * Fixed a bug where if multiple tracks (but not the entire CD) was
1636 specificed explicitly, cdgrab would loop forever after the first track
1637 * Now uses Debian's sensible-editor wrapper if available
1638 * Merged in patches from Nathaniel J Smith that puts cddb lookup
1639 functionality in a separate script, cddb-tool
1640 * Adds WAVOUTPUTDIR environment variable for those running out of space in
1643 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 26 Aug 1999
1647 * Yet another quick fix to finish what 0.7.6 started - cdgrab should now
1648 handle multiple inexact matches as well. (Thanks again to Robert Macaulay)
1650 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 12 Aug 1999
1654 * Another quick bugfix release - hopefully this will handle inexact matches
1655 properly now. (Thank you Robert Macaulay :)
1657 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 9 Aug 1999
1661 * Quick bugfix release - with any luck I can start on 0.8 soon :)
1662 * **** YOU WILL NEED TO EDIT CDGRAB.CONF **** if you use lame as
1663 /usr/bin/lamer. The default program name is now 'lame' as of lame v3.0.
1664 If you don't want to touch your lame installation, put the following in
1665 your cdgrab.conf: "LAME=lamer"
1666 * Omits -w from cdparanoia commands
1667 * Depends on cdparanoia-bin or cdparanoia now - this accommodates the recent
1668 cdparanoia package namechange.
1669 * Fixed a stealth-whitespace typo at line 495. Thanks go to Gregory T.
1670 Norris for tracking this down.
1672 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 13 Jul 1999
1676 * Now only uses the first match from a CDDB datafile for the track
1677 information, this works around a cddb glitch some of you may have
1679 * Default config file now gets version number from program.
1680 * added 'debug' option to CDROMREADERSYNTAX to get cdparanoia to only rip
1681 the first 5 seconds of a track. This is very useful to those debugging
1682 cdgrab, makes things go much faster. This will also prevent me releasing
1684 * Now puts options last on the encoder command line if you are using
1685 bladeenc or l3enc, this should allow the proper use of these encoders
1686 with additional commandline options (thanks to Justin Hugh Daly for
1688 * m3u PLAYLIST SUPPORT! Check out the new -p and -P options!
1690 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 7 Jun 1999
1694 * Fixes wget calling method
1695 * -l/LOWDISK documented
1696 * Fixes the lowdisk #2 option so it exits cleanly
1697 * Lets you enter track info for CDs without CDDB matches now
1699 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 23 May 1999
1703 * Woops, left some debugging code in 0.7.1 - if you have truckloads of 80kb
1706 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 16 May 1999
1710 * LOWDISK/-l option added for those who don't have the disk space to run a
1711 parallelized session.
1712 * MAXPROCS added to config file
1713 * CDDB handling revisited - cdgrab should now properly handle CD's with
1714 multiple or inexact CDDB entries.
1716 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 14 May 1999
1720 * Parallelizes ripping and encoding - this may take substantially more disk
1721 space temporarily (up to 500MB or so depending on how fast your CPU is
1722 compared to your cdrom drive) but cdgrab will be done with your CD
1724 * Allows for SMP optimizations (multiple encoders running at once) with the
1726 * Output fix for TOC printing
1727 * cd-discid split off into it's own package
1729 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 7 May 1999
1733 * Fixes encoder and cdrom reader option-passing bug
1735 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 4 Apr 1999
1739 * Adds the -H option (don't create .inf files) when calling cdda2wav
1740 * Removed a bashism from the usage function
1742 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 29 Mar 1999
1746 * Tacks a .wav extension to the wave data temporary file to make bladeenc
1748 * Munges /'s to _'s now instead of eating them
1749 * Adds command-line option configuration options for backend programs
1750 * Properly zero-pads the TRACKNUM variable
1752 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 28 Mar 1999
1756 * Added support for inexact or multiple CDDB matches
1757 * Properly bombs out if CDDB can't come up with a match
1758 (without CDDB, you might as well use cdparanoia -B)
1760 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 18 Mar 1999
1764 * Added ALBUMFILE, fixed manpage reference to it
1765 * Deletes editor backups from 'cdgrab -e' automagically
1766 (I wish mutt did this :)
1767 * Bombs out if there's no CD in the drive
1768 * Bombs out if any necessary external programs don't exist
1769 * Encourages people to use brackets for OUTPUTFORMAT variables to
1770 handle formats like Artist/TrackName_Number.mp3
1772 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 16 Mar 1999
1776 * Fixed one thinko in user preferences loading and another in the tagger
1777 * New option syntax - if you used to specify a cdrom device through the
1778 command line, use 'cdgrab -d device' now to get the same result.
1779 * Allows you to edit CDDB response data before using it (-e)
1780 * Added support for getting a user-specified selection of tracks
1781 * Added support for user-specified output file formats
