58 Kerr for debugging help.
59 * Support for output to the Matroska container (mka). Encoder
60 is FFmpeg (or avconv). Typical conf file syntax would be:
62 MKAENCODERSYNTAX=ffmpeg
64 FFMPEGENCOPTS="-c:a ac3 -b:a 448k"

103 http://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9
104 * Support added for encoding to True Audio using tta while still
105 supporting the older ttaenc. Tagging is with mid3v2.
106 * Support added for encoding to MPEG-1 Audio Layer II (mp2)
107 with either twolame or FFmpeg / avconv. Tagging with mid3v2.
108 * Encoding to WavPack with FFmpeg. Some slight changes to WavPack
109 syntax with backward compatibility built in for abcde 2.7.
110 * Encoding to m4a container with FFmpeg or avconv. This allows
111 for alac encoding with FFmpeg's reverse engineered alac encoder.
112 * AAC encoding with fhgaacenc via Wine. Tagging is provided
113 by AtomicParsley which has been added back to abcde :). This
114 allows encoding with HE-AAC v2, unavailable with qaac.
115 * Support added for AAC encoding with qaac via Wine. This
116 also allows for Apple Lossless Audio Coding (alac) using
117 either qaac or refalac. This closes Issue 142, thanks to
118 Bernd Fischer-Krellenberg for the enhancement request.
119 * Grab year information too when using musicbrainz. Thanks to

127 * Rewrite of abcde's mungefilename function. Thanks to
128 Andreas Kusalananda Kahari for this and also thanks
129 to Andrew Willis for the report which triggered the
130 rewrite. Thanks also to shughes for an earlier report.
131 This closes Issues 72 and 135.
132 * TRACKTOTAL now written to flac and ogg files. Thanks to
133 monkth for the notification. This resolves Issue 76.
134 * Support added for the downloading of album art. A huge
135 thank you to Johannes Gernemann who came forward with
136 the technique used and also the original patch. An equally
137 huge thanks to Richard who extended and greatly enhanced
138 the original patch. Detailed documentation added to the
139 abcde FAQ document although the sane defaults in place
140 will guarantee a good experience even for those who do
141 not read documentation! This closes Issue 33.
142 * Support added for ripping with the GNU Compact Disc
143 Input and Control library (libcdio) as requested by
144 both gentoo and NixOS. The utility used is cd-paranoia
145 and can best be called from a conf file as follows:
147 CDROMREADERSYNTAX=libcdio
148 CD_PARANOIA=cd-paranoia
149 CDPARANOIAOPTS="--never-skip=40 --verbose"
151 with the CD_PARANOIA variable giving the correct path
152 to cd-paranoia. I believe that cd-paranoia uses the same
153 options as cdparanoia but if I am proven incorrect this
154 will need to be rectified...
155 * Fix for encoding with bladeenc and usepipes.
156 * Fix for broken ripping with dagrab. Closes Issue 140.
157 * Fix for diskutil selecting wrong disk on OS X. Thanks
158 to Richard for this fix which closes Issue 139.

163 manipulated in a users ~/.abcde.conf file:
164 1. FAACENCOPTS for faac encoding options
165 2. NEROAACENCOPTS for neroAacEnc options
166 3. FDKAACENCOPTS for fdkaacenc options
167 Note that these options replace the now obsolete AACENCOPTS.
168 * Check added for neroAacTag when encoding with neroAacEnc.
169 * Several additions to usepipes with the following encoders
173 3. mpcenc: Musepack SV8
178 The cd ripper cdda2wav (icedax) has also been added.
179 * Ripping and encoding with 'usepipes' fixed. This fix
181 * Suggested encoding options for mp3enc added to the sample
182 abcde.conf. Last release of mp3enc in 1998 but it still
183 works flawlessly with a modern abcde!
184 * Suggested encoding options for l3enc added to the sample
185 abcde.conf. Congratulations to abcde which in 2015 still
186 works with l3enc which saw its final release in 1997!
187 * Fix for -o option use with options and multiple outputs.
188 This allows for commandline options such as the following:
189 abcde -o 'flac:-8,mp3:-b 320'
190 Thanks to Matthias Andree for yet another quality patch!
191 This closes Issue 136.
192 * Support added for ReplayGain with WavPack encoding.
193 * Fix for MusePack to allow the use of the SV8 ReplayGain
194 application 'mpcgain'.
195 * Monkey's Audio (ape) encoding added. Tagging is with

205 * Details of abcde's handling of faac compiled with and
206 without mp4v2 added as a new entry to FAQs.
207 * Fix to allow display of the 'date' meta tag generated
208 by eyeD3 in vlc, Audacious and friends.
209 Thanks to Reuben Thomas. This closes Issue 126.
210 * Fix for flac floating point error. Thanks to rwvtveer
211 for the patch which closes Issue 113.
212 * Formalised 3 methods of mp3 tagging using ID3TAGV:
213 1.id3v2.4 using eyeD3 (set in abcde as the default)
214 2.id3v2.3 using id3v2

334 + Add suggested diskutil code to auto-detect the CD on OS X.
336 * Check that we have $CDDBTOOL before we start. (Closes issue 27).
337 * Change the meaning of EXTRAVERBOSE; previously, it was a y/n option
338 to make things more verbose. Add extra levels of verbosity (0, 1, 2 so
339 far) and a new vvecho() function for callers to use.

478 * Avoid completing the encoding of files if we aborted previously.
479 * Embed the CUE sheet if we have a cuesheet file and we have a single FLAC

492 - toolame is included in Debian as default MP3 encoder
493 - Use IFS to preserve spaces when adding metadata to a cuefile
494 * Small documentation changes:
495 - abcde.1 (Closes: #364978)
496 * The following entries have in common that both add an internal cue2discid
497 function. I will evaluate which one is more accurate and decide which one
498 to use. Right now they are not conflicting:
499 - Added internal mkcue and cue2discid functions (Charles Steinkuehler) and
500 add a check for internal abcde.<function> to make sure we are using the
501 correct version (not sure if needed ;)
502 - Added an internal implementation of cue2discid, so there is no need for
503 an external program to do the conversion. Thanks to Michael (sorry, his
504 mail does not have a surname).
505 * cue2discid is now an internal function, so no need for including the
506 python script in the path (Closes: #378407)
507 * cddb-tool.1 typo (Thanks to A. Costa) (Closes: #351775)
508 * abcde.1 typo (Thanks to David L. Anselmi) (Closes: #364978)
509 * Set proper nice values to not separate encoding and reading in the pipes
510 situation, while having a high priority process running in the system.
511 Also, set proper nice values to tagging tasks. Reading should remain as
512 the default higher priority task in the abcde flow (Closes: #359156)
513 * Standards bumped to 3.7.2.1, no changes needed.

519 * Repaired multiple CDDB entries when recursive search is active.
520 * Patch from A. Costa to clean some typos (Closes: #351774).
522 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 07 Feb 2006 23:48:00 +0200
526 * Repaired multiple output encoding (Closes: #351362).
527 * Added missing space on a [] test statement.
528 * Added "default" action, so that one can add things on top of what we do
529 regularly, without having to list everything: "-a default,playlist" works.
530 * Restored all the > /dev/null instead of using grep -q, since it is not
532 * Added Solaris OS entry, in case we need to define things for it.
534 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 05 Feb 2006 15:24:00 +0200
538 * The "Mao es nuestro indiscutible lider" release.
539 * Check the CDROMREADER options we have in Debian which we depend on. Thanks
540 to Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo for finding the error.
541 * New recursive option for local CDDB repositories, to cope with other
542 players saving the entries.
543 * Brand new CD backup procedure: rip a CD into a single FLAC trac with an
544 embedded cuesheet using "-1 -M -o flac" and proceed to rip your tracks
545 from the obtained file using "-d file.flac -o <format>". It needs
546 cue2discid script from the examples directory to work. OH! If you manage
547 to get it working with bash, we can get rid of the python dependency...
548 * Initial steps to make abcde working with musicbrainz, although it is not
550 * Added a missing $ in a variable (Closes: #345629).
551 * Added -p to the mkdir's for $ABCDETEMPDIR (Closes: #345630).
552 * Added iconv + converted to utf-8 the charset of a ready-to-send CDDB
553 entry (Closes: #345708).
554 * Added AAC (Mpeg4) support.
555 * Small cd-discid update.

561 * Missing bits in the 2.3.99.1 changelog:
562 - Man page: added information about -z (Debug option).
563 - Corrected config file with the BATCHNORM/NOGAP split
565 - Uses /bin/bash for the time being... We need to get some substitution
566 functions/operations for the bashisms we have: Closes: #337139.
567 * Config bits with corrected typos
568 * Adding musicbrainz support. First bits.
569 * Reworked comparison for numerical answer when selecting a CDDB output.
572 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Mon, 12 Dec 2005 23:46:58 +0200
576 * Both -z and -C unset EJECTCD to avoid ejecting the CD when a) we are
577 debuging and b) we are not using the CD.
578 * If we are not reading the CD, set "loud" to see all the output messages
579 (that is, in most of the cases, the first encoding).
580 * Added -f to force some events that otherwise would erase files from our
581 current run. In the standard configuration ("OUTPUT=vorbis") the following
582 actions will need a "-f" to force the last one:
583 abcde -a read,encode -o ogg,flac
584 abcde -a tag,move,clean
585 During the second run abcde should complain that it is trying to erase the
586 working directory while the it has not performed any action on the FLAC
587 files, which we encoded previously.
588 * Convert the old cdparanoia-audio-tracks file into a status entry to avoid
589 eating files from previous rounds using an early version (Closes: #341050)
591 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 29 Nov 2005 23:27:20 +0200
595 * Added diff choice to CDDB entries ("1,4").
596 * Added SHOWCDDBFIELDS to allow the user to show YEAR and GENRE in the
598 * Suggests mkcue, and erase old cdgrab info since sarge is out.
599 * Changed cdparanoia-audio-tracks to use the status file to save the data.
600 * Added the possibility of using a singletrack flac file with an embeded
601 cuesheet as a source of tracks.
602 * Added -z for easy and quick debug.
603 * BATCH has been split into two options: BATCHNORM which allows, by using
604 -b, to use the -a normalize in all the files at once, and NOGAP, that by
605 using -g, introduces the lame's --nogap extension.
606 * Added replygain using the appropriate tags with Ogg/Vorbis and Ogg/FLAC.
607 * Replaygain is an action, not a flag, since it can be performed individually
608 in the chain of events.
609 * debian/{rules,control}:
610 - Changed the target directory from tmp to abcde, to accommodate to compat
612 - Bump standards to 3.6.2.1. No changes needed.
613 * Added "decho" as a DEBUG output for some specific debug variables.
614 * Added USEPIPES file, with information about how to add Unix pipes support.
615 * Added one more checking for PIPES*_* unset variables (which means support
616 is not added to abcde).
617 * Added toolame as an optional MP3 encoder.
619 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 8 Oct 2005 17:05:32 +0300
623 * Some patches from Tom Spindler <dogcow () babymeat ! com>
624 - Added some quoting to the md5sum checkings, since the variables could be
626 - NetBSD bits to use ftp instead on anything else to fetch stuff.
627 * do_playlist needs to convert the OUTPUT to the CONTAINERS to avoid ending
628 with playlists pointing to .vorbis files (Closes: #326487).
630 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 3 Sep 2005 16:50:07 +0300
634 * Rips done in a single track were getting tagged as Various. Corrected.
635 * Possibly eliminated some bashisms from using a variable as a variable
636 (Closes: #324399). Thanks to A Costa.
638 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 26 Aug 2005 01:36:35 +0300
642 * Too fast... I forgot to make the tarball and change the version strings in
643 several places. Fixed.

649 * The new "I knew there were going to be bugs" upstream release!
650 * MKCUE needs to be passed some $CDROM as an option, or otherwise it will
651 not read the CDROM, in case is not /dev/cdrom.
652 * Also, make the CUEREADER a bit more general, since we might be using other
655 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 18 Aug 2005 23:44:20 +0300
659 * New upstream release!
660 * Defining the tracknumber now resets the first track if given a number
661 different than 1 (that is: abcde -T 1 2-10 creates songs 1 to 9).
662 * Modified the FAQ to reflect the changes on Marillat's repo
664 * Should be "space" safe: works properly when the working directory contains
665 a space (Closes: #147493).
666 * Repared the CD query for the discid code. When failing to read a disc,
667 actually report that there might be no disc in the drive.
668 * Right now, walk over the different encoders we Depends: on in Debian and
669 use the one available: if a user has a FLAC encoder, abcde will no install
670 vorbis-tools, so it will fail to run out of the box (Closes: #321216)
671 * Added CUE support. Still experimental...
672 * Added FLAC on Ogg. Still not activated, since we cannot get comments added
673 as a post-process action.
674 * Applied patches from Fedora Core (Credit goes to Nils Philippsen
675 <nphilipp@redhat.com>)
676 * Added a post_read() function to be executed before ejecting the CD.
677 * Typos reported by A Costa corrected (Closes: #311463)
678 * Problem with abcde being run in a directory with files containing only
679 numbers solved (Closes: #313628).
680 * vorbiscomment uses now "-R" (Closes: #303566).
681 * "-t" and "-T" use the first track as a starter for the track list.
683 * Added CDPARANOIACDROMBUS option to define -d in case of using IDE and SCSI
684 in case of using ide-scsi emulation layer (Closes: #290768).
685 * Define metaflac in abcde.conf (Closes: #303555)
686 * Added the default "-f" option to the configuration file, to represent the
687 actual default option.
689 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 11 Aug 2005 00:47:27 +0300
693 * Double quotation added to solve parsing * as a wildcard (Closes: #302904).

700 * CDPARANOIAOUTPUT missed some quotes.
701 * Removed some useless lines.
702 * If BATCH is used with ONETRACK, disable BATCH.
703 * Small typos with CDROM comparisons.
704 * Logic for CDROM variable improved.
705 * Version bumped to 2.2.5 and targeted to Sarge.
707 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 2 Apr 2005 21:05:18 +0300
711 * Changed the way we call flac, to adapt to the new times:
712 --import-vc-from= to --import-tags-from.
713 * DOSPLAYLIST was not included in the list of options.
714 * Options passed to the encoder by using <-o ogg:"-b 192"> are now
715 supported. One can modify the way abcde encodes just for the current CD.
716 * Unfortunatelly I forgot to add the starting number for tags in Ogg. For
717 MP3 is a bit more difficult, since it needs changing the X/YY code.
718 * Also, the order of the tags in metaflac is important for the utf8 names.
719 Thanks to Frederik Juul Christiani (Closes: #297482)
720 * Added CDROMID in the .conf file, for reader programs that need it
722 * Added a check for cdparanoia when encountering data-only CDs.

729 - suggest normalize-audio, since it changed its name (Closes: #287674).
730 * Use the default while erasing an existing playlist (Closes: #288835).
731 * Does not destroy track information when a track contains "=" in the name

751 * New release! Let's see if abcde 2.2 gets into Sarge.
752 * Added support for MPP/MP+(Musepack) encoding. Although I am trying to
753 get 2.2 for Debian Sarge release, mpc seems safe enough to introduce. See
754 corecodec.org for code.
755 * Some POSIX shell corrections (making the code more portable). Thanks to
756 Guillem Jover for pointing the problem out.
757 * CDYEAR is also passed to do_move(), so one can use it for sorting the
759 * Small MacOS X fix, allowing directories with "()" to work. Thanks to Evan
761 - On the MacOS X, I still do not know if abcde works correctly. If does
762 not, please, drop a note. Or else.
763 * DOSPLAYLIST also changes "/" with "\".
764 * DATA tracks are now excluded from the ripping process using internally
765 the cdparanoia "-Q" query option. If using another ripper, it does not
766 work (at least there is no support for them in abcde)
767 (Closes: #112692, #117412).
768 * New "0" choice for "None of the above" has been introduced. If selected, a
769 template is created and the user encouraged to edit it (Closes: #147683).
770 * New options for when the PLAYLIST already exists: erase, append or keep.
771 * Bug fixes along the code:
772 - abcde.1 corrections and additions
773 - abcde corrections and code reorganization. abcde now exits earlier if
774 some of the options are incompatible. Also the actions are set as
775 variables earlier, so we use less calls to external tools.
776 - abcde.conf additions
777 * The GENRE is munged now in its own mungegenre function, so that no more
778 upper-to-lowercase is done (forced) except if the default is used.
779 * Examples added to the tarball and /usr/share/doc/abcde/examples with two
780 scripts to make abcde kind-of-a ripper daemon.
781 * Changed to experimental to have an stable 2.1.x version in Sarge.
782 * Add CDDB information to Ogg/Vorbis and FLAC files (Closes: #265358).
783 * Added INTERACTIVE option. Set it to "n" and there you go, without user
785 * Changes normalize to normalize-audio (Closes: #267053)
786 * Copes with wav files being erased by the ripping tool.
787 * Small patch to support ()'s in the path under MacOSX. Thanks to Evan Jones
788 for noticing and sending the patch.
789 * Added -w for COMMENT seed. Used to give a comment to a given CD.
790 * Option "-t <number>" added to modify the numbering from a starting point
791 (Closes: #95828). Geez! That is low bug number...
792 * Added -T to modify also the tag entries on the songs. Currently available
793 for FLAC and Ogg/Vorbis.
794 * Removes trailing spaces (Closes: #280382).
795 * TRACKNAME now combines multi-lines from long CDDB entries.

809 * The "Let's have a good abcde in Sarge" release.
810 * The mungefile() function changes * with + by default to avoid creating
811 directories with the start expanded to the files found in the current

840 * New setting for the CD speed. Some drives have a higher failure ratio when
841 spinning at high speed.
842 * Added a pre-read function for preparations. Uses include closing the CD
843 tray (Closes: #137548).
844 * Added COMMENT part in OggFlac metadata.
845 * Documentation update: README, abcde.1
846 * Do not tag GENRE and DATE in Ogg/Vorbis if CDDB does not provide them
848 * Solved bug with batch encoding, thanks to Travis McKay.
849 * When *DATAPREFIX was set, the playlist creation was made without newline.
850 * Added >&2 redirection to visualize the "Erase playlist" question
852 * Added the option "-m" to modify the resulting playlist, to contain CRLF at
853 the end of every line, letting some hardware players which insist with
854 DOS-style files to use them. Also, added DOSPLAYLIST as a config option.
855 * When using a selected, localy cached CDDB entry, we forgot to show the
856 selection when asking the user for editing the choice. Now we show it.
857 * Improved the logic in the order of events when using a local CDDB repo.

869 * The PADDING code and some CDDB funcions were *really* messy. Now it looks
870 cleaner, works faster and some not needed network operations are no
871 longer performed when we are working with local CDDB repositories.
872 * Added "-V" for extra verbosity (on slow networks the user might be waiting
873 and wondering is somethins is happening).
874 * Solved a bug with the non-interactive code.

886 * Solved the problem with re-runs of multiple choices not showing all the
887 choices (Closes: #228405) (this was a quick one)
888 * We now show the selected CDDB entry on a second run, instead of all of
889 them (not that one should stop abcde, but just in case). This way
890 consecutive interrupted runs obtain the same results.

896 * Check if normalizer is found in the PATH (Closes: #228014)
897 * Added (commented) bits to check if the CD being processed is the CD on the
898 tray, so that if differs we do not eject it.
899 * Store locally the CDDB information, under $HOME/.cddb since it is being
900 used by Grip (at least). PATH is user defined (Closes: #88048)
901 * If you are using cdda2wav and SCSI drives, you can set CDROMID for the
902 SCSI drive, since it differs from the cd-discid CDROM parameter
904 * MacOSX keeps on failing because the OS mounts the CD before we finish
905 ripping it... or something else. Please, test test test the code, and
906 report your findings. Pretty please. I have not been able to make it work
907 with the reports I have received.

913 * Urgent fixes for the FreeBSD and MacOSX bits. When using cdda2wav, the
914 CDROM variable must be modified depending on the device interface. By now
915 we will not try to be very smart.
916 * Added a test for HTTPGETOPTS since it cannot be empty for the default
918 * Quick release to fix a problem with the CDROM detection code.
920 * Cleaned a bashism. Thanks to Klaus Ethgen (Closes: #226782).
921 * Rewrote some parts of the cdda2wav code. Since I do not have a machine
922 where cdda2wav works, I cannot test the code. The modifications have been
923 done following user reports. If you use cdda2wav and abcde does not work

933 * Workout the possibility of cdparanoia erasing our wav files
935 * The default answer for editing CDDB data is now "y" if the disk is
936 unknown. If not, the default is "n". Requested by Ricky Buchanan.
937 * Now we do not erase silently any previous $PLAYLISTFILE left behind by a
938 previous CD ripping (Closes: #220753)
939 * Write info file with cdda2wav (Closes: #187702).
940 I do not use cdda2wav myself (me is cd-paranoid) so if anyone using
941 cdda2wav has a problem with this, please, report.

947 of the discid. Now you can set the "-C" command with the directory name.
948 Kudos go to Bart Samwel.

1011 + Variables are exported before the CDDB functions are called, so they
1012 should use the right variables for the HTTPGET command.
1013 + Tagging also use TRACKS and CDGENRE for MP3 files (kudos to Dirk
1015 + FLAC encoding now uses dismp3 to encode remotelly (kudos to Taylor and
1016 Kevin Cramer). HANDLE WITH CARE ;)
1017 Also FLAC now uses CDGENRE and CDYEAR for tagging.
1018 * tail/head change: -1 has been deprecated. Noted by Stephan Kulow.
1019 * Ogg/Speex support added, for speech encoding (Closes #204635)
1020 * Documentation update (Closes: #198825)

1028 + COMMENT should work now.
1029 + Aesthetic padding on the total amount of tracks.
1031 + CDROM is now checked after reading the user defined entries.
1032 * Remove trailing args from $EDITOR when checking -x: Closes #179222.
1034 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sun, 18 May 2003 18:47:36 +0000
1038 * Makefile was missing cddb-tool.1.
1039 * Introduced dagrab as CD ripping utility.
1040 * cddb-tool seq calls converted to functions. No more distro dependencies.
1041 * WGET* variables converted to HTTPGET* variables. FreeBSD can safelly use
1043 * More FreeBSD specific bits: CDROM and EJECT changes.
1044 * Typo in abcde.conf
1045 * Added CDDBPROTO for specifying the protocol level of the cddb query.
1046 * CDDB protocol upgraded to 5. CDYEAR and CDGENRE are now used for CD
1048 * COMMENT is now used for inline tagging with oggenc (my mistake it was
1049 missing): Closes: #191475.

1055 * Documentation updates: Closes: #186230.
1056 * Usual set of bug fixes and corrections.
1057 * Default behaviour of VAOUTPUTFORMAT output changed to avoid multiple
1058 directories for a same album. I think the format is more logical, and you
1059 can always split the files once they are created.
1060 * Padding track wavs with 0 so if you want to burn those wavs just cdrecord
1061 *.wav will do it. Use "-p" to force it when encoding a small (<9) number
1062 of files (Closes: #111627).
1063 * Added "KEEPWAVS" as a variable to keep those wavs. Default is "no". Can
1064 use also "-k" in the command line. (Closes: #160372).
1065 This probably should be changed with an option to move the wav files to
1066 another directory instead of just keep de abcde.<cdid> directory.
1067 * Added documentation comments about OUTPUTTYPE (Closes: #184963).
1068 * abcde.conf cleanup: (Closes: #186230, #187400).

1080 * Since abcde does not depend on eject, an execution test ([-x]) was added,
1081 but that means abcde needs a test for eject in the patch if -x is passed:
1083 * Merged some more bits from Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt: Closes: #126289.
1084 * A bit of more info in abcde.conf: Closes: #184963.

1338 * The "That wasn't chicken" release.
1339 * Remote distributed encoding had a bad bug in 1.1 - work to be done
1340 remotely was duplicated locally (everything still turned out ok - there

1440 playlist data with things like URL's
1441 * Fixed bug added in 0.8 where the multiple inexact match choice selection
1442 would be hidden to the user (cddb-tool wasn't sending all user output to
1443 stderr as it should).
1445 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 28 Nov 1999

1461 * Fixed some output issues regarding background encoding that cropped up in
1464 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 7 Nov 1999
1468 * New name. A Better CD Encoder. cdgrab was already taken - the original
1469 cdgrab name belongs to a CDDA reading program for DOS dating back to
1470 1993. It's still in use and active development, so I'm changing the
1471 name of cdgrab instead. See this URL for a description of the original
1472 cdgrab: http://www.scn.rain.com/pub/cdrom/cdgrab.txt
1474 Your old /etc/cdgrab.conf and/or ~/.cdgrab.conf can simply be
1475 renamed to /etc/abcde.conf and ~/.abcde.conf.
1477 The program name is now 'abcde'.
1479 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 2 Nov 1999
1483 * cdgrab 0.7 through 0.8.2 would leave around cdgrab.xxxxxx

1499 * Cleared up some bashisms from the patches merged in 0.8
1501 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 19 Sep 1999
1505 * Fixed a bug where if multiple tracks (but not the entire CD) was
1506 specificed explicitly, cdgrab would loop forever after the first track
1507 * Now uses Debian's sensible-editor wrapper if available
1508 * Merged in patches from Nathaniel J Smith that puts cddb lookup
1509 functionality in a separate script, cddb-tool
1510 * Adds WAVOUTPUTDIR environment variable for those running out of space in
1513 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 26 Aug 1999
1517 * Yet another quick fix to finish what 0.7.6 started - cdgrab should now
1518 handle multiple inexact matches as well. (Thanks again to Robert Macaulay)
1520 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 12 Aug 1999
1524 * Another quick bugfix release - hopefully this will handle inexact matches
1525 properly now. (Thank you Robert Macaulay :)
1527 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 9 Aug 1999
1531 * Quick bugfix release - with any luck I can start on 0.8 soon :)
1532 * **** YOU WILL NEED TO EDIT CDGRAB.CONF **** if you use lame as
1533 /usr/bin/lamer. The default program name is now 'lame' as of lame v3.0.
1534 If you don't want to touch your lame installation, put the following in
1535 your cdgrab.conf: "LAME=lamer"
1536 * Omits -w from cdparanoia commands
1537 * Depends on cdparanoia-bin or cdparanoia now - this accommodates the recent
1538 cdparanoia package namechange.
1539 * Fixed a stealth-whitespace typo at line 495. Thanks go to Gregory T.
1540 Norris for tracking this down.
1542 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 13 Jul 1999
1546 * Now only uses the first match from a CDDB datafile for the track
1547 information, this works around a cddb glitch some of you may have
1549 * Default config file now gets version number from program.
1550 * added 'debug' option to CDROMREADERSYNTAX to get cdparanoia to only rip
1551 the first 5 seconds of a track. This is very useful to those debugging
1552 cdgrab, makes things go much faster. This will also prevent me releasing
1554 * Now puts options last on the encoder command line if you are using
1555 bladeenc or l3enc, this should allow the proper use of these encoders
1556 with additional commandline options (thanks to Justin Hugh Daly for
1558 * m3u PLAYLIST SUPPORT! Check out the new -p and -P options!

1576 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 16 May 1999
1580 * LOWDISK/-l option added for those who don't have the disk space to run a
1581 parallelized session.
1582 * MAXPROCS added to config file
1583 * CDDB handling revisited - cdgrab should now properly handle CD's with
1584 multiple or inexact CDDB entries.
1586 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 14 May 1999
1590 * Parallelizes ripping and encoding - this may take substantially more disk
1591 space temporarily (up to 500MB or so depending on how fast your CPU is
1592 compared to your cdrom drive) but cdgrab will be done with your CD
1594 * Allows for SMP optimizations (multiple encoders running at once) with the
1596 * Output fix for TOC printing
1597 * cd-discid split off into it's own package
1599 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 7 May 1999
