50 is FFmpeg (or avconv). Typical conf file syntax would be:
52 MKAENCODERSYNTAX=ffmpeg
54 FFMPEGENCOPTS="-c:a ac3 -b:a 448k"
57 Thanks to Shantiq and Fakeoutdoorsman of the Ubuntu Forums

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

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

150 the abcde-musicbrainz-tool. Thanks yet again to
151 Matthias Andree for this work! Closes issue 138.
152 * New variables for m4a/aac encoding options to be
153 manipulated in a users ~/.abcde.conf file:
154 1. FAACENCOPTS for faac encoding options
155 2. NEROAACENCOPTS for neroAacEnc options
156 3. FDKAACENCOPTS for fdkaacenc options
157 Note that these options replace the now obsolete AACENCOPTS.
158 * Check added for neroAacTag when encoding with neroAacEnc.
159 * Several additions to usepipes with the following encoders
163 3. mpcenc: Musepack SV8
168 The cd ripper cdda2wav (icedax) has also been added.
169 * Ripping and encoding with 'usepipes' fixed. This fix
171 * Suggested encoding options for mp3enc added to the sample
172 abcde.conf. Last release of mp3enc in 1998 but it still
173 works flawlessly with a modern abcde!
174 * Suggested encoding options for l3enc added to the sample
175 abcde.conf. Congratulations to abcde which in 2015 still
176 works with l3enc which saw its final release in 1997!
177 * Fix for -o option use with options and multiple outputs.
178 This allows for commandline options such as the following:
179 abcde -o 'flac:-8,mp3:-b 320'
180 Thanks to Matthias Andree for yet another quality patch!
181 This closes Issue 136.
182 * Support added for ReplayGain with WavPack encoding.
183 * Fix for MusePack to allow the use of the SV8 ReplayGain
184 application 'mpcgain'.
185 * Monkey's Audio (ape) encoding added. Tagging is with

192 local CDDB search. Thanks to Reuben Thomas for the
193 notification. This partially resolves Issue 121.

195 * Details of abcde's handling of faac compiled with and
196 without mp4v2 added as a new entry to FAQs.
197 * Fix to allow display of the 'date' meta tag generated
198 by eyeD3 in vlc, Audacious and friends.
199 Thanks to Reuben Thomas. This closes Issue 126.
200 * Fix for flac floating point error. Thanks to rwvtveer
201 for the patch which closes Issue 113.
202 * Formalised 3 methods of mp3 tagging using ID3TAGV:
203 1.id3v2.4 using eyeD3 (set in abcde as the default)
204 2.id3v2.3 using id3v2
206 Thanks to Adriaan for this patch which fixes issue 101.

324 + Add suggested diskutil code to auto-detect the CD on OS X.
326 * Check that we have $CDDBTOOL before we start. (Closes issue 27).
327 * Change the meaning of EXTRAVERBOSE; previously, it was a y/n option
328 to make things more verbose. Add extra levels of verbosity (0, 1, 2 so
329 far) and a new vvecho() function for callers to use.
330 * With EXTRAVERBOSE==2 or more, make run_command() print out each
331 command as it's run. (Closes issue 39).

482 - toolame is included in Debian as default MP3 encoder
483 - Use IFS to preserve spaces when adding metadata to a cuefile
484 * Small documentation changes:
485 - abcde.1 (Closes: #364978)
486 * The following entries have in common that both add an internal cue2discid
487 function. I will evaluate which one is more accurate and decide which one
488 to use. Right now they are not conflicting:
489 - Added internal mkcue and cue2discid functions (Charles Steinkuehler) and
490 add a check for internal abcde.<function> to make sure we are using the
491 correct version (not sure if needed ;)
492 - Added an internal implementation of cue2discid, so there is no need for
493 an external program to do the conversion. Thanks to Michael (sorry, his
494 mail does not have a surname).
495 * cue2discid is now an internal function, so no need for including the
496 python script in the path (Closes: #378407)
497 * cddb-tool.1 typo (Thanks to A. Costa) (Closes: #351775)
498 * abcde.1 typo (Thanks to David L. Anselmi) (Closes: #364978)

500 situation, while having a high priority process running in the system.
501 Also, set proper nice values to tagging tasks. Reading should remain as
502 the default higher priority task in the abcde flow (Closes: #359156)
503 * Standards bumped to 3.7.2.1, no changes needed.

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

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

624 * Rips done in a single track were getting tagged as Various. Corrected.
625 * Possibly eliminated some bashisms from using a variable as a variable
626 (Closes: #324399). Thanks to A Costa.

632 * Too fast... I forgot to make the tarball and change the version strings in
633 several places. Fixed.

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

690 * CDPARANOIAOUTPUT missed some quotes.
691 * Removed some useless lines.
692 * If BATCH is used with ONETRACK, disable BATCH.
693 * Small typos with CDROM comparisons.
694 * Logic for CDROM variable improved.
695 * Version bumped to 2.2.5 and targeted to Sarge.
697 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 2 Apr 2005 21:05:18 +0300
701 * Changed the way we call flac, to adapt to the new times:
702 --import-vc-from= to --import-tags-from.
703 * DOSPLAYLIST was not included in the list of options.
704 * Options passed to the encoder by using <-o ogg:"-b 192"> are now
705 supported. One can modify the way abcde encodes just for the current CD.
706 * Unfortunatelly I forgot to add the starting number for tags in Ogg. For
707 MP3 is a bit more difficult, since it needs changing the X/YY code.
708 * Also, the order of the tags in metaflac is important for the utf8 names.
709 Thanks to Frederik Juul Christiani (Closes: #297482)
710 * Added CDROMID in the .conf file, for reader programs that need it
712 * Added a check for cdparanoia when encountering data-only CDs.
714 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 1 Mar 2005 15:14:24 +0200
719 - suggest normalize-audio, since it changed its name (Closes: #287674).
720 * Use the default while erasing an existing playlist (Closes: #288835).
721 * Does not destroy track information when a track contains "=" in the name
724 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 22 Jan 2005 15:35:46 +0200
728 * Quotes missing when evaluating a value (Closes: #284018).

734 * Spotted and solved a problem with the way the data tracks were detected
737 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Wed, 24 Nov 2004 22:47:54 +0200
741 * New release! Let's see if abcde 2.2 gets into Sarge.
742 * Added support for MPP/MP+(Musepack) encoding. Although I am trying to
743 get 2.2 for Debian Sarge release, mpc seems safe enough to introduce. See
744 corecodec.org for code.
745 * Some POSIX shell corrections (making the code more portable). Thanks to
746 Guillem Jover for pointing the problem out.
747 * CDYEAR is also passed to do_move(), so one can use it for sorting the
749 * Small MacOS X fix, allowing directories with "()" to work. Thanks to Evan
751 - On the MacOS X, I still do not know if abcde works correctly. If does
752 not, please, drop a note. Or else.
753 * DOSPLAYLIST also changes "/" with "\".
754 * DATA tracks are now excluded from the ripping process using internally
755 the cdparanoia "-Q" query option. If using another ripper, it does not
756 work (at least there is no support for them in abcde)
757 (Closes: #112692, #117412).
758 * New "0" choice for "None of the above" has been introduced. If selected, a
759 template is created and the user encouraged to edit it (Closes: #147683).
760 * New options for when the PLAYLIST already exists: erase, append or keep.
761 * Bug fixes along the code:
762 - abcde.1 corrections and additions
763 - abcde corrections and code reorganization. abcde now exits earlier if
764 some of the options are incompatible. Also the actions are set as
765 variables earlier, so we use less calls to external tools.
766 - abcde.conf additions
767 * The GENRE is munged now in its own mungegenre function, so that no more
768 upper-to-lowercase is done (forced) except if the default is used.
769 * Examples added to the tarball and /usr/share/doc/abcde/examples with two
770 scripts to make abcde kind-of-a ripper daemon.
771 * Changed to experimental to have an stable 2.1.x version in Sarge.
772 * Add CDDB information to Ogg/Vorbis and FLAC files (Closes: #265358).
773 * Added INTERACTIVE option. Set it to "n" and there you go, without user
775 * Changes normalize to normalize-audio (Closes: #267053)
776 * Copes with wav files being erased by the ripping tool.
777 * Small patch to support ()'s in the path under MacOSX. Thanks to Evan Jones
778 for noticing and sending the patch.
779 * Added -w for COMMENT seed. Used to give a comment to a given CD.
780 * Option "-t <number>" added to modify the numbering from a starting point
781 (Closes: #95828). Geez! That is low bug number...
782 * Added -T to modify also the tag entries on the songs. Currently available
783 for FLAC and Ogg/Vorbis.
784 * Removes trailing spaces (Closes: #280382).
785 * TRACKNAME now combines multi-lines from long CDDB entries.

799 * The "Let's have a good abcde in Sarge" release.
800 * The mungefile() function changes * with + by default to avoid creating
801 directories with the start expanded to the files found in the current
802 directory. abcde2.2 will most likelly contain a better workaround.
803 * Correct default OUTPUTFORMAT in man page (Closes: #250649)
805 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 30 Jul 2004 10:16:46 +0300

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

853 * EDITOR is called now evaluating the variable, so it works with full path
855 * Patch for making md5sum a variable (since some systems use a different
857 * Correction by "huf" <mihi at mail.eol.hu>. The test code in line 376
859 * The PADDING code and some CDDB funcions were *really* messy. Now it looks
860 cleaner, works faster and some not needed network operations are no
861 longer performed when we are working with local CDDB repositories.
862 * Added "-V" for extra verbosity (on slow networks the user might be waiting
863 and wondering is somethins is happening).
864 * Solved a bug with the non-interactive code.
866 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Mon, 16 Feb 2004 00:13:12 +0000

876 * Solved the problem with re-runs of multiple choices not showing all the
877 choices (Closes: #228405) (this was a quick one)
878 * We now show the selected CDDB entry on a second run, instead of all of
879 them (not that one should stop abcde, but just in case). This way
880 consecutive interrupted runs obtain the same results.
882 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sun, 18 Jan 2004 22:42:15 +0000
886 * Check if normalizer is found in the PATH (Closes: #228014)
887 * Added (commented) bits to check if the CD being processed is the CD on the
888 tray, so that if differs we do not eject it.
889 * Store locally the CDDB information, under $HOME/.cddb since it is being
890 used by Grip (at least). PATH is user defined (Closes: #88048)
891 * If you are using cdda2wav and SCSI drives, you can set CDROMID for the
892 SCSI drive, since it differs from the cd-discid CDROM parameter
894 * MacOSX keeps on failing because the OS mounts the CD before we finish
895 ripping it... or something else. Please, test test test the code, and
896 report your findings. Pretty please. I have not been able to make it work
897 with the reports I have received.
899 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 16 Jan 2004 12:06:07 +0000
903 * Urgent fixes for the FreeBSD and MacOSX bits. When using cdda2wav, the
904 CDROM variable must be modified depending on the device interface. By now
905 we will not try to be very smart.
906 * Added a test for HTTPGETOPTS since it cannot be empty for the default
908 * Quick release to fix a problem with the CDROM detection code.
910 * Cleaned a bashism. Thanks to Klaus Ethgen (Closes: #226782).
911 * Rewrote some parts of the cdda2wav code. Since I do not have a machine
912 where cdda2wav works, I cannot test the code. The modifications have been
913 done following user reports. If you use cdda2wav and abcde does not work
914 for you, please, contact me and we will try to sort things out. Thanks.

922 * HTTPGET is only requested is "cddb" action is performed.
923 * Workout the possibility of cdparanoia erasing our wav files
925 * The default answer for editing CDDB data is now "y" if the disk is
926 unknown. If not, the default is "n". Requested by Ricky Buchanan.
927 * Now we do not erase silently any previous $PLAYLISTFILE left behind by a
928 previous CD ripping (Closes: #220753)
929 * Write info file with cdda2wav (Closes: #187702).
930 I do not use cdda2wav myself (me is cd-paranoid) so if anyone using
931 cdda2wav has a problem with this, please, report.
932 * CDROM comes in 1,0,0 kind of format for cdda2wav ripper. Corrected with a
933 quick patch. Kudos go to Mikhail Manuilov <viper5k at pisem dot net> for
935 * Merged bits to make abcde work under MacOSX. Thanks to Evan Jones.
936 * Merged bits to avoid FreeDB people anger and to cut down the "abcde." part
937 of the discid. Now you can set the "-C" command with the directory name.
938 Kudos go to Bart Samwel.
939 * Added some info bits to the config file about normalize, requested by

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

985 * metaflac path corrected (Closes: #206110)
986 * Hopefully this version repairs the comment part for Ogg/Vorbis files.
987 * If nothing breaks, 2.2 will be released as soon as the KNOWNBUG is solved.
988 * Removed all the inline tagging since it breaks the action chain, except
989 in Ogg/Speex. Need to check if "vorbiscomment" can be used for it.
991 * Added DISTMP3NICE variable, to nice the distmp3 program (Closes: #208398)
993 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 4 Sep 2003 10:53:09 +0000
997 * Small fixes and patches.
998 + GENRE can be used for OUTPUTFORMAT and PLAYLISTFORMAT
999 + id3v2 should work now with -c for comments (Closes: #199949)
1000 + small bug with batch encoding
1001 + Variables are exported before the CDDB functions are called, so they
1002 should use the right variables for the HTTPGET command.
1003 + Tagging also use TRACKS and CDGENRE for MP3 files (kudos to Dirk
1005 + FLAC encoding now uses dismp3 to encode remotelly (kudos to Taylor and
1006 Kevin Cramer). HANDLE WITH CARE ;)
1007 Also FLAC now uses CDGENRE and CDYEAR for tagging.
1008 * tail/head change: -1 has been deprecated. Noted by Stephan Kulow.

1018 + COMMENT should work now.
1019 + Aesthetic padding on the total amount of tracks.
1021 + CDROM is now checked after reading the user defined entries.
1022 * Remove trailing args from $EDITOR when checking -x: Closes #179222.
1024 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sun, 18 May 2003 18:47:36 +0000
1028 * Makefile was missing cddb-tool.1.
1029 * Introduced dagrab as CD ripping utility.
1030 * cddb-tool seq calls converted to functions. No more distro dependencies.
1031 * WGET* variables converted to HTTPGET* variables. FreeBSD can safelly use
1033 * More FreeBSD specific bits: CDROM and EJECT changes.
1034 * Typo in abcde.conf
1035 * Added CDDBPROTO for specifying the protocol level of the cddb query.
1036 * CDDB protocol upgraded to 5. CDYEAR and CDGENRE are now used for CD
1038 * COMMENT is now used for inline tagging with oggenc (my mistake it was
1039 missing): Closes: #191475.

1045 * Documentation updates: Closes: #186230.
1046 * Usual set of bug fixes and corrections.
1047 * Default behaviour of VAOUTPUTFORMAT output changed to avoid multiple
1048 directories for a same album. I think the format is more logical, and you
1049 can always split the files once they are created.
1050 * Padding track wavs with 0 so if you want to burn those wavs just cdrecord
1051 *.wav will do it. Use "-p" to force it when encoding a small (<9) number
1052 of files (Closes: #111627).
1053 * Added "KEEPWAVS" as a variable to keep those wavs. Default is "no". Can
1054 use also "-k" in the command line. (Closes: #160372).
1055 This probably should be changed with an option to move the wav files to
1056 another directory instead of just keep de abcde.<cdid> directory.
1057 * Added documentation comments about OUTPUTTYPE (Closes: #184963).
1058 * abcde.conf cleanup: (Closes: #186230, #187400).

1070 * Since abcde does not depend on eject, an execution test ([-x]) was added,
1071 but that means abcde needs a test for eject in the patch if -x is passed:
1073 * Merged some more bits from Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt: Closes: #126289.
1074 * A bit of more info in abcde.conf: Closes: #184963.

1328 * The "That wasn't chicken" release.
1329 * Remote distributed encoding had a bad bug in 1.1 - work to be done
1330 remotely was duplicated locally (everything still turned out ok - there
1331 was just no speedup). Fixed that.

1409 * The "Get it Before the World Implodes" Release
1410 * Added -D (debugging option, outputs debugging information to stderr).
1411 Very useful for submitting bug reports, hint hint hint :)

1430 playlist data with things like URL's
1431 * Fixed bug added in 0.8 where the multiple inexact match choice selection
1432 would be hidden to the user (cddb-tool wasn't sending all user output to
1433 stderr as it should).
1435 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 28 Nov 1999

1451 * Fixed some output issues regarding background encoding that cropped up in
1454 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 7 Nov 1999
1458 * New name. A Better CD Encoder. cdgrab was already taken - the original
1459 cdgrab name belongs to a CDDA reading program for DOS dating back to
1460 1993. It's still in use and active development, so I'm changing the
1461 name of cdgrab instead. See this URL for a description of the original
1462 cdgrab: http://www.scn.rain.com/pub/cdrom/cdgrab.txt
1464 Your old /etc/cdgrab.conf and/or ~/.cdgrab.conf can simply be
1465 renamed to /etc/abcde.conf and ~/.abcde.conf.
1467 The program name is now 'abcde'.
1469 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 2 Nov 1999
1473 * cdgrab 0.7 through 0.8.2 would leave around cdgrab.xxxxxx
1474 tempfiles with -j. Fixed that.

1489 * Cleared up some bashisms from the patches merged in 0.8
1491 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 19 Sep 1999
1495 * Fixed a bug where if multiple tracks (but not the entire CD) was
1496 specificed explicitly, cdgrab would loop forever after the first track
1497 * Now uses Debian's sensible-editor wrapper if available
1498 * Merged in patches from Nathaniel J Smith that puts cddb lookup
1499 functionality in a separate script, cddb-tool
1500 * Adds WAVOUTPUTDIR environment variable for those running out of space in
1503 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 26 Aug 1999
1507 * Yet another quick fix to finish what 0.7.6 started - cdgrab should now
1508 handle multiple inexact matches as well. (Thanks again to Robert Macaulay)
1510 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 12 Aug 1999
1514 * Another quick bugfix release - hopefully this will handle inexact matches
1515 properly now. (Thank you Robert Macaulay :)
1517 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 9 Aug 1999
1521 * Quick bugfix release - with any luck I can start on 0.8 soon :)
1522 * **** YOU WILL NEED TO EDIT CDGRAB.CONF **** if you use lame as
1523 /usr/bin/lamer. The default program name is now 'lame' as of lame v3.0.
1524 If you don't want to touch your lame installation, put the following in
1525 your cdgrab.conf: "LAME=lamer"
1526 * Omits -w from cdparanoia commands
1527 * Depends on cdparanoia-bin or cdparanoia now - this accommodates the recent
1528 cdparanoia package namechange.
1529 * Fixed a stealth-whitespace typo at line 495. Thanks go to Gregory T.
1530 Norris for tracking this down.
1532 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 13 Jul 1999
1536 * Now only uses the first match from a CDDB datafile for the track
1537 information, this works around a cddb glitch some of you may have
1539 * Default config file now gets version number from program.
1540 * added 'debug' option to CDROMREADERSYNTAX to get cdparanoia to only rip
1541 the first 5 seconds of a track. This is very useful to those debugging
1542 cdgrab, makes things go much faster. This will also prevent me releasing
1544 * Now puts options last on the encoder command line if you are using
1545 bladeenc or l3enc, this should allow the proper use of these encoders
1546 with additional commandline options (thanks to Justin Hugh Daly for
1548 * m3u PLAYLIST SUPPORT! Check out the new -p and -P options!

1566 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 16 May 1999
1570 * LOWDISK/-l option added for those who don't have the disk space to run a
1571 parallelized session.
1572 * MAXPROCS added to config file
1573 * CDDB handling revisited - cdgrab should now properly handle CD's with
1574 multiple or inexact CDDB entries.
1576 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 14 May 1999
1580 * Parallelizes ripping and encoding - this may take substantially more disk
1581 space temporarily (up to 500MB or so depending on how fast your CPU is
1582 compared to your cdrom drive) but cdgrab will be done with your CD
1584 * Allows for SMP optimizations (multiple encoders running at once) with the
1586 * Output fix for TOC printing

1600 * Removed a bashism from the usage function
1602 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 29 Mar 1999
1606 * Tacks a .wav extension to the wave data temporary file to make bladeenc
1608 * Munges /'s to _'s now instead of eating them
1609 * Adds command-line option configuration options for backend programs
1610 * Properly zero-pads the TRACKNUM variable
