49 + Add suggested diskutil code to auto-detect the CD on OS X.
51 * Check that we have $CDDBTOOL before we start. (Closes issue 27).
52 * Change the meaning of EXTRAVERBOSE; previously, it was a y/n option
53 to make things more verbose. Add extra levels of verbosity (0, 1, 2 so
54 far) and a new vvecho() function for callers to use.
55 * With EXTRAVERBOSE==2 or more, make run_command() print out each
56 command as it's run. (Closes issue 39).
57 * If we don't find any CDDB or Musicbrainz information for the CD, try
58 to extract CD-Text information to populate the cddbinfo template.
60 * Try to give more helpful error messages when we can't parse the
61 command line, and exit rather than carry on. (Closes issue 51).
64 * replace deprecated egrep with grep -E (Closes issue 24).
65 Thanks to vskytta for the patch.
66 * remove -o 0 options from make install (Closes issue 17).
67 Thanks to vskytta for the patch.

153 * Added -q <Q> as a quality option.
154 * PREGAP was not set in some situations (Closes: #390170).
155 * Added -nv to wget for "no verbose" output, to avoid wget complaining it
156 cannot be quiet and verbose at the same time if "verbose = on" is set in

190 * Default to UNICODE (UTF8) tags and comments (Closes: #282332).
191 - Added CDDBPROTO option in config file (Closes: #349951)
192 * Added a missing "INDEX 01" entry for CUE sheet creation.
193 * Avoid completing the encoding of files if we aborted previously.
194 * Embed the CUE sheet if we have a cuesheet file and we have a single FLAC
195 file, even if we are not tagging. This way we can use the file as a source
196 even if it is not tagged/named properly.
197 * Fails to quote filenames properly (Closes: #355296)
198 * Introduced VA/ONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT.
199 * Added a missing check for AACENCODER.
200 * Updated config file with some new AAC bits.
201 * Updated FSF address.
202 * Corrected NetBSD options for ftp (Thanks to Marius).
203 * The final 2.4 will have "cuefile" as an action instead of as a flag.
204 * Create the cuefile when extracting from a FLAC file.
205 * Small bugs (Charles Steinkuehler):
206 - Added missing quotes (Closes: #375710)
207 - toolame is included in Debian as default MP3 encoder
208 - Use IFS to preserve spaces when adding metadata to a cuefile
209 * Small documentation changes:
210 - abcde.1 (Closes: #364978)
211 * The following entries have in common that both add an internal cue2discid
212 function. I will evaluate which one is more accurate and decide which one
213 to use. Right now they are not conflicting:
214 - Added internal mkcue and cue2discid functions (Charles Steinkuehler) and
215 add a check for internal abcde.<function> to make sure we are using the
216 correct version (not sure if needed ;)
217 - Added an internal implementation of cue2discid, so there is no need for
218 an external program to do the conversion. Thanks to Michael (sorry, his
219 mail does not have a surname).
220 * cue2discid is now an internal function, so no need for including the
221 python script in the path (Closes: #378407)
222 * cddb-tool.1 typo (Thanks to A. Costa) (Closes: #351775)
223 * abcde.1 typo (Thanks to David L. Anselmi) (Closes: #364978)
224 * Set proper nice values to not separate encoding and reading in the pipes
225 situation, while having a high priority process running in the system.
226 Also, set proper nice values to tagging tasks. Reading should remain as
227 the default higher priority task in the abcde flow (Closes: #359156)
228 * Standards bumped to 3.7.2.1, no changes needed.

241 * Repaired multiple output encoding (Closes: #351362).
242 * Added missing space on a [] test statement.
243 * Added "default" action, so that one can add things on top of what we do
244 regularly, without having to list everything: "-a default,playlist" works.
245 * Restored all the > /dev/null instead of using grep -q, since it is not
247 * Added Solaris OS entry, in case we need to define things for it.

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

276 * Missing bits in the 2.3.99.1 changelog:
277 - Man page: added information about -z (Debug option).
278 - Corrected config file with the BATCHNORM/NOGAP split
280 - Uses /bin/bash for the time being... We need to get some substitution
281 functions/operations for the bashisms we have: Closes: #337139.
282 * Config bits with corrected typos
283 * Adding musicbrainz support. First bits.
284 * Reworked comparison for numerical answer when selecting a CDDB output.
287 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Mon, 12 Dec 2005 23:46:58 +0200
291 * Both -z and -C unset EJECTCD to avoid ejecting the CD when a) we are
292 debuging and b) we are not using the CD.
293 * If we are not reading the CD, set "loud" to see all the output messages
294 (that is, in most of the cases, the first encoding).
295 * Added -f to force some events that otherwise would erase files from our
296 current run. In the standard configuration ("OUTPUT=vorbis") the following
297 actions will need a "-f" to force the last one:
298 abcde -a read,encode -o ogg,flac
299 abcde -a tag,move,clean
300 During the second run abcde should complain that it is trying to erase the
301 working directory while the it has not performed any action on the FLAC
302 files, which we encoded previously.
303 * Convert the old cdparanoia-audio-tracks file into a status entry to avoid
304 eating files from previous rounds using an early version (Closes: #341050)
306 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 29 Nov 2005 23:27:20 +0200
310 * Added diff choice to CDDB entries ("1,4").
311 * Added SHOWCDDBFIELDS to allow the user to show YEAR and GENRE in the
313 * Suggests mkcue, and erase old cdgrab info since sarge is out.
314 * Changed cdparanoia-audio-tracks to use the status file to save the data.
315 * Added the possibility of using a singletrack flac file with an embeded
316 cuesheet as a source of tracks.
317 * Added -z for easy and quick debug.
318 * BATCH has been split into two options: BATCHNORM which allows, by using
319 -b, to use the -a normalize in all the files at once, and NOGAP, that by
320 using -g, introduces the lame's --nogap extension.
321 * Added replygain using the appropiate tags with Ogg/Vorbis and Ogg/FLAC.
322 * Replaygain is an action, not a flag, since it can be performed individualy
323 in the chain of events.
324 * debian/{rules,control}:
325 - Changed the target directory from tmp to abcde, to accomodate to compat
327 - Bump standards to 3.6.2.1. No changes needed.
328 * Added "decho" as a DEBUG output for some specific debug variables.
329 * Added USEPIPES file, with information about how to add Unix pipes support.
330 * Added one more checking for PIPES*_* unset variables (which means support
331 is not added to abcde).
332 * Added toolame as an optional MP3 encoder.

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

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

358 several places. Fixed.

365 * MKCUE needs to be passed some $CDROM as an option, or otherwise it will
366 not read the CDROM, in case is not /dev/cdrom.
367 * Also, make the CUEREADER a bit more general, since we might be using other
370 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 18 Aug 2005 23:44:20 +0300
374 * New upstream release!
375 * Defining the tracknumber now resets the first track if given a number
376 different than 1 (that is: abcde -T 1 2-10 creates songs 1 to 9).
377 * Modified the FAQ to reflect the changes on Marillat's repo
379 * Should be "space" safe: works properly when the working directory contains
380 a space (Closes: #147493).
381 * Repared the CD query for the discid code. When failing to read a disc,
382 actually report that there might be no disc in the drive.
383 * Right now, walk over the different encoders we Depends: on in Debian and
384 use the one available: if a user has a FLAC encoder, abcde will no install
385 vorbis-tools, so it will fail to run out of the box (Closes: #321216)
386 * Added CUE support. Still experimental...
387 * Added FLAC on Ogg. Still not activated, since we cannot get comments added
388 as a post-process action.
389 * Applied patches from Fedora Core (Credit goes to Nils Philippsen
390 <nphilipp@redhat.com>)
391 * Added a post_read() function to be executed before ejecting the CD.
392 * Typos reported by A Costa corrected (Closes: #311463)
393 * Problem with abcde being run in a directory with files containing only
394 numbers solved (Closes: #313628).
395 * vorbiscomment uses now "-R" (Closes: #303566).
396 * "-t" and "-T" use the first track as a starter for the track list.
398 * Added CDPARANOIACDROMBUS option to define -d in case of using IDE and SCSI
399 in case of using ide-scsi emulation layer (Closes: #290768).
400 * Define metaflac in abcde.conf (Closes: #303555)
401 * Added the default "-f" option to the configuration file, to represent the
402 actual default option.

415 * CDPARANOIAOUTPUT missed some quotes.
416 * Removed some useless lines.
417 * If BATCH is used with ONETRACK, disable BATCH.
418 * Small typos with CDROM comparisons.
419 * Logic for CDROM variable improved.
420 * Version bumped to 2.2.5 and targeted to Sarge.
422 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 2 Apr 2005 21:05:18 +0300
426 * Changed the way we call flac, to adapt to the new times:
427 --import-vc-from= to --import-tags-from.
428 * DOSPLAYLIST was not included in the list of options.
429 * Options passed to the encoder by using <-o ogg:"-b 192"> are now
430 supported. One can modify the way abcde encodes just for the current CD.
431 * Unfortunatelly I forgot to add the starting number for tags in Ogg. For
432 MP3 is a bit more difficult, since it needs changing the X/YY code.
433 * Also, the order of the tags in metaflac is important for the utf8 names.
434 Thanks to Frederik Juul Christiani (Closes: #297482)
435 * Added CDROMID in the .conf file, for reader programs that need it
437 * Added a check for cdparanoia when encountering data-only CDs.
439 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 1 Mar 2005 15:14:24 +0200
444 - suggest normalize-audio, since it changed its name (Closes: #287674).
445 * Use the default while erasing an existing playlist (Closes: #288835).
446 * Does not destroy track information when a track contains "=" in the name
449 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 22 Jan 2005 15:35:46 +0200

466 * New release! Let's see if abcde 2.2 gets into Sarge.
467 * Added support for MPP/MP+(Musepack) encoding. Although I am trying to
468 get 2.2 for Debian Sarge release, mpc seems safe enough to introduce. See
469 corecodec.org for code.
470 * Some POSIX shell corrections (making the code more portable). Thanks to
471 Guillem Jover for pointing the problem out.
472 * CDYEAR is also passed to do_move(), so one can use it for sorting the
474 * Small MacOS X fix, allowing directories with "()" to work. Thanks to Evan
476 - On the MacOS X, I still do not know if abcde works correctly. If does
477 not, please, drop a note. Or else.
478 * DOSPLAYLIST also changes "/" with "\".
479 * DATA tracks are now excluded from the ripping process using internally
480 the cdparanoia "-Q" query option. If using another ripper, it does not
481 work (at least there is no support for them in abcde)
482 (Closes: #112692, #117412).
483 * New "0" choice for "None of the above" has been introduced. If selected, a
484 template is created and the user encouraged to edit it (Closes: #147683).
485 * New options for when the PLAYLIST already exists: erase, append or keep.
486 * Bug fixes along the code:
487 - abcde.1 corrections and additions
488 - abcde corrections and code reorganization. abcde now exits earlier if
489 some of the options are incompatible. Also the actions are set as
490 variables earlier, so we use less calls to external tools.
491 - abcde.conf additions
492 * The GENRE is munged now in its own mungegenre function, so that no more
493 upper-to-lowercase is done (forced) except if the default is used.
494 * Examples added to the tarball and /usr/share/doc/abcde/examples with two
495 scripts to make abcde kind-of-a ripper daemon.
496 * Changed to experimental to have an stable 2.1.x version in Sarge.
497 * Add CDDB information to Ogg/Vorbis and FLAC files (Closes: #265358).
498 * Added INTERACTIVE option. Set it to "n" and there you go, without user
500 * Changes normalize to normalize-audio (Closes: #267053)
501 * Copes with wav files being erased by the ripping tool.
502 * Small patch to support ()'s in the path under MacOSX. Thanks to Evan Jones
503 for noticing and sending the patch.
504 * Added -w for COMMENT seed. Used to give a comment to a given CD.
505 * Option "-t <number>" added to modify the numbering from a starting point
506 (Closes: #95828). Geez! That is low bug number...
507 * Added -T to modify also the tag entries on the songs. Currently available
508 for FLAC and Ogg/Vorbis.
509 * Removes trailing spaces (Closes: #280382).
510 * TRACKNAME now combines multi-lines from long CDDB entries.

520 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 20 Aug 2004 13:16:46 +0000
524 * The "Let's have a good abcde in Sarge" release.
525 * The mungefile() function changes * with + by default to avoid creating
526 directories with the start expanded to the files found in the current
527 directory. abcde2.2 will most likelly contain a better workaround.
528 * Correct default OUTPUTFORMAT in man page (Closes: #250649)
530 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 30 Jul 2004 10:16:46 +0300
534 * Encoding the whole CD in one file is now possible. Use "-1" as a flag
537 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 9 Apr 2004 17:04:58 +0000
541 * Do not release in a hurry. The eject program is not needed if CDSPEEDVALUE
542 is not set and no EJECT action is performed (Closes: #242506)

551 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Wed, 7 Apr 2004 06:30:31 +0000
555 * New setting for the CD speed. Some drives have a higher failure ratio when
556 spinning at high speed.
557 * Added a pre-read function for preparations. Uses include closing the CD
558 tray (Closes: #137548).
559 * Added COMMENT part in OggFlac metadata.
560 * Documentation update: README, abcde.1
561 * Do not tag GENRE and DATE in Ogg/Vorbis if CDDB does not provide them
563 * Solved bug with batch encoding, thanks to Travis McKay.
564 * When *DATAPREFIX was set, the playlist creation was made without newline.
565 * Added >&2 redirection to visualize the "Erase playlist" question
567 * Added the option "-m" to modify the resulting playlist, to contain CRLF at
568 the end of every line, letting some hardware players which insist with
569 DOS-style files to use them. Also, added DOSPLAYLIST as a config option.
570 * When using a selected, localy cached CDDB entry, we forgot to show the
571 selection when asking the user for editing the choice. Now we show it.
572 * Improved the logic in the order of events when using a local CDDB repo.
574 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 6 Apr 2004 05:29:38 +0000
578 * EDITOR is called now evaluating the variable, so it works with full path
580 * Patch for making md5sum a variable (since some systems use a different
582 * Correction by "huf" <mihi at mail.eol.hu>. The test code in line 376
584 * The PADDING code and some CDDB funcions were *really* messy. Now it looks
585 cleaner, works faster and some not needed network operations are no
586 longer performed when we are working with local CDDB repositories.
587 * Added "-V" for extra verbosity (on slow networks the user might be waiting
588 and wondering is somethins is happening).
589 * Solved a bug with the non-interactive code.
591 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Mon, 16 Feb 2004 00:13:12 +0000
595 * Missing quotes restored (Closes: #228648).
597 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 20 Jan 2004 06:43:04 +0000
601 * Solved the problem with re-runs of multiple choices not showing all the
602 choices (Closes: #228405) (this was a quick one)
603 * We now show the selected CDDB entry on a second run, instead of all of
604 them (not that one should stop abcde, but just in case). This way
605 consecutive interrupted runs obtain the same results.
607 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sun, 18 Jan 2004 22:42:15 +0000
611 * Check if normalizer is found in the PATH (Closes: #228014)
612 * Added (commented) bits to check if the CD being processed is the CD on the
613 tray, so that if differs we do not eject it.
614 * Store locally the CDDB information, under $HOME/.cddb since it is being
615 used by Grip (at least). PATH is user defined (Closes: #88048)
616 * If you are using cdda2wav and SCSI drives, you can set CDROMID for the
617 SCSI drive, since it differs from the cd-discid CDROM parameter
619 * MacOSX keeps on failing because the OS mounts the CD before we finish
620 ripping it... or something else. Please, test test test the code, and
621 report your findings. Pretty please. I have not been able to make it work
622 with the reports I have received.
624 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 16 Jan 2004 12:06:07 +0000
628 * Urgent fixes for the FreeBSD and MacOSX bits. When using cdda2wav, the
629 CDROM variable must be modified depending on the device interface. By now
630 we will not try to be very smart.
631 * Added a test for HTTPGETOPTS since it cannot be empty for the default
633 * Quick release to fix a problem with the CDROM detection code.
635 * Cleaned a bashism. Thanks to Klaus Ethgen (Closes: #226782).
636 * Rewrote some parts of the cdda2wav code. Since I do not have a machine
637 where cdda2wav works, I cannot test the code. The modifications have been
638 done following user reports. If you use cdda2wav and abcde does not work
639 for you, please, contact me and we will try to sort things out. Thanks.
641 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 8 Jan 2004 21:36:23 +0000
645 * INLINETAG and STARTTRACKNUMBER flags added.
646 * CDROM checking is now done with a bit more wiselly (Closes: #219768)
647 * HTTPGET is only requested is "cddb" action is performed.
648 * Workout the possibility of cdparanoia erasing our wav files
650 * The default answer for editing CDDB data is now "y" if the disk is
651 unknown. If not, the default is "n". Requested by Ricky Buchanan.
652 * Now we do not erase silently any previous $PLAYLISTFILE left behind by a
653 previous CD ripping (Closes: #220753)
654 * Write info file with cdda2wav (Closes: #187702).
655 I do not use cdda2wav myself (me is cd-paranoid) so if anyone using
656 cdda2wav has a problem with this, please, report.
657 * CDROM comes in 1,0,0 kind of format for cdda2wav ripper. Corrected with a
658 quick patch. Kudos go to Mikhail Manuilov <viper5k at pisem dot net> for
660 * Merged bits to make abcde work under MacOSX. Thanks to Evan Jones.
661 * Merged bits to avoid FreeDB people anger and to cut down the "abcde." part
662 of the discid. Now you can set the "-C" command with the directory name.
663 Kudos go to Bart Samwel.
664 * Added some info bits to the config file about normalize, requested by
666 * Added some testing for the wav file before normalizing, to check that the
667 file is actually there.

673 * The "First snow in Finland" release.
674 * One head was missing a "-n"
675 * Not use relative links when PLAYLISTDATAPREFIX is set (Closes: #165368)
676 * Stupid use of $OUTPUTTYPE in flac tagging (Closes: #218625)

682 * Small typo corrected (Closes: #217149)
683 * KEEPWAVS now sets the "clean" action to "no", so the wavs are kept.
685 * Quick release fixing a couple of bugs introduced by the padding patch
687 * Control: Build-Depends-Indep: moved to Build-Depends:, as per
688 http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-sourcebinarydeps

695 * The "Engineer" release. Yeah! I graduated!
696 * Patch applied to solve the track submission interface issues. Kudos to
697 Marc HE Brockschmidt, again (Closes: #126289)
698 * Small bug related with DISTMP3NICE solved. Kudos to Wilbert Alberts.
700 * Padding now creates the list with padded numbers. Test patch. This should
701 solve the problem with delayed tagging a single file.
703 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 13 Oct 2003 09:50:09 +0000
707 * Removed a nasty bug where even if the encode failed, the track was marked
708 as successfully encoded (Closes: #208391)
709 * Various Artists has now its own PLAYLIST format (Closes: #137432)
710 * metaflac path corrected (Closes: #206110)
711 * Hopefully this version repairs the comment part for Ogg/Vorbis files.
712 * If nothing breaks, 2.2 will be released as soon as the KNOWNBUG is solved.
713 * Removed all the inline tagging since it breaks the action chain, except
714 in Ogg/Speex. Need to check if "vorbiscomment" can be used for it.
716 * Added DISTMP3NICE variable, to nice the distmp3 program (Closes: #208398)
718 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 4 Sep 2003 10:53:09 +0000
722 * Small fixes and patches.
723 + GENRE can be used for OUTPUTFORMAT and PLAYLISTFORMAT
724 + id3v2 should work now with -c for comments (Closes: #199949)
725 + small bug with batch encoding
726 + Variables are exported before the CDDB functions are called, so they
727 should use the right variables for the HTTPGET command.
728 + Tagging also use TRACKS and CDGENRE for MP3 files (kudos to Dirk
730 + FLAC encoding now uses dismp3 to encode remotelly (kudos to Taylor and
731 Kevin Cramer). HANDLE WITH CARE ;)
732 Also FLAC now uses CDGENRE and CDYEAR for tagging.
733 * tail/head change: -1 has been deprecated. Noted by Stephan Kulow.
734 * Ogg/Speex support added, for speech encoding (Closes #204635)
735 * Documentation update (Closes: #198825)
736 * Patch for "=" in the name applied (Closes: #197199)
738 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 14 Aug 2003 16:45:29 +0000
743 + COMMENT should work now.
744 + Aesthetic padding on the total amount of tracks.
746 + CDROM is now checked after reading the user defined entries.
747 * Remove trailing args from $EDITOR when checking -x: Closes #179222.
749 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sun, 18 May 2003 18:47:36 +0000
753 * Makefile was missing cddb-tool.1.
754 * Introduced dagrab as CD ripping utility.
755 * cddb-tool seq calls converted to functions. No more distro dependencies.
756 * WGET* variables converted to HTTPGET* variables. FreeBSD can safelly use
758 * More FreeBSD specific bits: CDROM and EJECT changes.
760 * Added CDDBPROTO for specifying the protocol level of the cddb query.
761 * CDDB protocol upgraded to 5. CDYEAR and CDGENRE are now used for CD
763 * COMMENT is now used for inline tagging with oggenc (my mistake it was
764 missing): Closes: #191475.
766 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 10 May 2003 07:49:22 +0000
770 * Documentation updates: Closes: #186230.
771 * Usual set of bug fixes and corrections.
772 * Default behaviour of VAOUTPUTFORMAT output changed to avoid multiple
773 directories for a same album. I think the format is more logical, and you
774 can always split the files once they are created.
775 * Padding track wavs with 0 so if you want to burn those wavs just cdrecord
776 *.wav will do it. Use "-p" to force it when encoding a small (<9) number
777 of files (Closes: #111627).
778 * Added "KEEPWAVS" as a variable to keep those wavs. Default is "no". Can
779 use also "-k" in the command line. (Closes: #160372).
780 This probably should be changed with an option to move the wav files to
781 another directory instead of just keep de abcde.<cdid> directory.
782 * Added documentation comments about OUTPUTTYPE (Closes: #184963).
783 * abcde.conf cleanup: (Closes: #186230, #187400).

795 * Since abcde does not depend on eject, an execution test ([-x]) was added,
796 but that means abcde needs a test for eject in the patch if -x is passed:
798 * Merged some more bits from Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt: Closes: #126289.
799 * A bit of more info in abcde.conf: Closes: #184963.
800 * cddb-tool version updated to 0.4.2

830 + multiple output and error checking
831 + multiple lists support

1176 * Fixed some output issues regarding background encoding that cropped up in
1179 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 7 Nov 1999
1183 * New name. A Better CD Encoder. cdgrab was already taken - the original
1184 cdgrab name belongs to a CDDA reading program for DOS dating back to
1185 1993. It's still in use and active development, so I'm changing the
1186 name of cdgrab instead. See this URL for a description of the original
1187 cdgrab: http://www.scn.rain.com/pub/cdrom/cdgrab.txt
1189 Your old /etc/cdgrab.conf and/or ~/.cdgrab.conf can simply be
1190 renamed to /etc/abcde.conf and ~/.abcde.conf.
1192 The program name is now 'abcde'.
1194 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 2 Nov 1999
1198 * cdgrab 0.7 through 0.8.2 would leave around cdgrab.xxxxxx
1199 tempfiles with -j. Fixed that.

1202 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 28 Oct 1999
1206 * Supports the 'gogo' mp3 encoder

1210 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 10 Oct 1999
1214 * Cleared up some bashisms from the patches merged in 0.8
1216 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 19 Sep 1999
1220 * Fixed a bug where if multiple tracks (but not the entire CD) was
1221 specificed explicitly, cdgrab would loop forever after the first track
1222 * Now uses Debian's sensible-editor wrapper if available
1223 * Merged in patches from Nathaniel J Smith that puts cddb lookup
1224 functionality in a separate script, cddb-tool
1225 * Adds WAVOUTPUTDIR environment variable for those running out of space in
1228 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 26 Aug 1999
1232 * Yet another quick fix to finish what 0.7.6 started - cdgrab should now
1233 handle multiple inexact matches as well. (Thanks again to Robert Macaulay)
1235 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 12 Aug 1999
1239 * Another quick bugfix release - hopefully this will handle inexact matches
1240 properly now. (Thank you Robert Macaulay :)
1242 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 9 Aug 1999
1246 * Quick bugfix release - with any luck I can start on 0.8 soon :)
1247 * **** YOU WILL NEED TO EDIT CDGRAB.CONF **** if you use lame as
1248 /usr/bin/lamer. The default program name is now 'lame' as of lame v3.0.
1249 If you don't want to touch your lame installation, put the following in
1250 your cdgrab.conf: "LAME=lamer"
1251 * Omits -w from cdparanoia commands
1252 * Depends on cdparanoia-bin or cdparanoia now - this accomodates the recent
1253 cdparanoia package namechange.
1254 * Fixed a stealth-whitespace typo at line 495. Thanks go to Gregory T.
1255 Norris for tracking this down.
1257 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 13 Jul 1999
1261 * Now only uses the first match from a CDDB datafile for the track
1262 information, this works around a cddb glitch some of you may have
1264 * Default config file now gets version number from program.
1265 * added 'debug' option to CDROMREADERSYNTAX to get cdparanoia to only rip
1266 the first 5 seconds of a track. This is very useful to those debugging
1267 cdgrab, makes things go much faster. This will also prevent me releasing
1269 * Now puts options last on the encoder command line if you are using
1270 bladeenc or l3enc, this should allow the proper use of these encoders
1271 with additional commandline options (thanks to Justin Hugh Daly for
1273 * m3u PLAYLIST SUPPORT! Check out the new -p and -P options!
1275 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 7 Jun 1999

1284 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 23 May 1999
1288 * Woops, left some debugging code in 0.7.1 - if you have truckloads of 80kb
1291 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 16 May 1999
1295 * LOWDISK/-l option added for those who don't have the disk space to run a
1296 parallelized session.
1297 * MAXPROCS added to config file
1298 * CDDB handling revisited - cdgrab should now properly handle CD's with
1299 multiple or inexact CDDB entries.
1301 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 14 May 1999
1305 * Parallelizes ripping and encoding - this may take substantially more disk
1306 space temporarily (up to 500MB or so depending on how fast your CPU is
1307 compared to your cdrom drive) but cdgrab will be done with your CD
1309 * Allows for SMP optimizations (multiple encoders running at once) with the
1311 * Output fix for TOC printing
1312 * cd-discid split off into it's own package
1314 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 7 May 1999
1318 * Fixes encoder and cdrom reader option-passing bug
1320 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 4 Apr 1999

1325 * Removed a bashism from the usage function
1327 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 29 Mar 1999
1331 * Tacks a .wav extension to the wave data temporary file to make bladeenc
1333 * Munges /'s to _'s now instead of eating them
1334 * Adds command-line option configuration options for backend programs
1335 * Properly zero-pads the TRACKNUM variable
1337 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 28 Mar 1999
1341 * Added support for inexact or multiple CDDB matches
1342 * Properly bombs out if CDDB can't come up with a match
1343 (without CDDB, you might as well use cdparanoia -B)
1345 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 18 Mar 1999
1349 * Added ALBUMFILE, fixed manpage reference to it
1350 * Deletes editor backups from 'cdgrab -e' automagically
1351 (I wish mutt did this :)
1352 * Bombs out if there's no CD in the drive
1353 * Bombs out if any necessary external programs don't exist
1354 * Encourages people to use brackets for OUTPUTFORMAT variables to
1355 handle formats like Artist/TrackName_Number.mp3
1357 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 16 Mar 1999
1361 * Fixed one thinko in user preferences loading and another in the tagger
1362 * New option syntax - if you used to specify a cdrom device through the
1363 command line, use 'cdgrab -d device' now to get the same result.
1364 * Allows you to edit CDDB response data before using it (-e)
1365 * Added support for getting a user-specified selection of tracks
1366 * Added support for user-specified output file formats
