112 * Check that we have $CDDBTOOL before we start. (Closes issue 27).
113 * Change the meaning of EXTRAVERBOSE; previously, it was a y/n option
114 to make things more verbose. Add extra levels of verbosity (0, 1, 2 so
115 far) and a new vvecho() function for callers to use.
116 * With EXTRAVERBOSE==2 or more, make run_command() print out each
117 command as it's run. (Closes issue 39).
118 * If we don't find any CDDB or Musicbrainz information for the CD, try
119 to extract CD-Text information to populate the cddbinfo template.

251 * Default to UNICODE (UTF8) tags and comments (Closes: #282332).
252 - Added CDDBPROTO option in config file (Closes: #349951)
253 * Added a missing "INDEX 01" entry for CUE sheet creation.
254 * Avoid completing the encoding of files if we aborted previously.
255 * Embed the CUE sheet if we have a cuesheet file and we have a single FLAC
256 file, even if we are not tagging. This way we can use the file as a source
257 even if it is not tagged/named properly.
258 * Fails to quote filenames properly (Closes: #355296)
259 * Introduced VA/ONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT.
260 * Added a missing check for AACENCODER.
261 * Updated config file with some new AAC bits.

265 * Create the cuefile when extracting from a FLAC file.
266 * Small bugs (Charles Steinkuehler):
267 - Added missing quotes (Closes: #375710)
268 - toolame is included in Debian as default MP3 encoder
269 - Use IFS to preserve spaces when adding metadata to a cuefile
270 * Small documentation changes:
271 - abcde.1 (Closes: #364978)
272 * The following entries have in common that both add an internal cue2discid
273 function. I will evaluate which one is more accurate and decide which one
274 to use. Right now they are not conflicting:
275 - Added internal mkcue and cue2discid functions (Charles Steinkuehler) and
276 add a check for internal abcde.<function> to make sure we are using the
277 correct version (not sure if needed ;)
278 - Added an internal implementation of cue2discid, so there is no need for
279 an external program to do the conversion. Thanks to Michael (sorry, his
280 mail does not have a surname).
281 * cue2discid is now an internal function, so no need for including the
282 python script in the path (Closes: #378407)
283 * cddb-tool.1 typo (Thanks to A. Costa) (Closes: #351775)
284 * abcde.1 typo (Thanks to David L. Anselmi) (Closes: #364978)
285 * Set proper nice values to not separate encoding and reading in the pipes
286 situation, while having a high priority process running in the system.
287 Also, set proper nice values to tagging tasks. Reading should remain as
288 the default higher priority task in the abcde flow (Closes: #359156)
289 * Standards bumped to 3.7.2.1, no changes needed.

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

314 * The "Mao es nuestro indiscutible lider" release.
315 * Check the CDROMREADER options we have in Debian which we depend on. Thanks
316 to Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo for finding the error.
317 * New recursive option for local CDDB repositories, to cope with other
318 players saving the entries.
319 * Brand new CD backup procedure: rip a CD into a single FLAC trac with an
320 embedded cuesheet using "-1 -M -o flac" and proceed to rip your tracks
321 from the obtained file using "-d file.flac -o <format>". It needs
322 cue2discid script from the examples directory to work. OH! If you manage
323 to get it working with bash, we can get rid of the python dependency...
324 * Initial steps to make abcde working with musicbrainz, although it is not
326 * Added a missing $ in a variable (Closes: #345629).
327 * Added -p to the mkdir's for $ABCDETEMPDIR (Closes: #345630).
328 * Added iconv + converted to utf-8 the charset of a ready-to-send CDDB
329 entry (Closes: #345708).
330 * Added AAC (Mpeg4) support.

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

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

427 not read the CDROM, in case is not /dev/cdrom.
428 * Also, make the CUEREADER a bit more general, since we might be using other
431 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 18 Aug 2005 23:44:20 +0300
435 * New upstream release!
436 * Defining the tracknumber now resets the first track if given a number
437 different than 1 (that is: abcde -T 1 2-10 creates songs 1 to 9).
438 * Modified the FAQ to reflect the changes on Marillat's repo
440 * Should be "space" safe: works properly when the working directory contains
441 a space (Closes: #147493).
442 * Repared the CD query for the discid code. When failing to read a disc,
443 actually report that there might be no disc in the drive.
444 * Right now, walk over the different encoders we Depends: on in Debian and
445 use the one available: if a user has a FLAC encoder, abcde will no install
446 vorbis-tools, so it will fail to run out of the box (Closes: #321216)
447 * Added CUE support. Still experimental...
448 * Added FLAC on Ogg. Still not activated, since we cannot get comments added
449 as a post-process action.
450 * Applied patches from Fedora Core (Credit goes to Nils Philippsen
451 <nphilipp@redhat.com>)
452 * Added a post_read() function to be executed before ejecting the CD.
453 * Typos reported by A Costa corrected (Closes: #311463)
454 * Problem with abcde being run in a directory with files containing only
455 numbers solved (Closes: #313628).
456 * vorbiscomment uses now "-R" (Closes: #303566).
457 * "-t" and "-T" use the first track as a starter for the track list.
459 * Added CDPARANOIACDROMBUS option to define -d in case of using IDE and SCSI
460 in case of using ide-scsi emulation layer (Closes: #290768).
461 * Define metaflac in abcde.conf (Closes: #303555)
462 * Added the default "-f" option to the configuration file, to represent the
463 actual default option.

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

520 * Spotted and solved a problem with the way the data tracks were detected
523 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Wed, 24 Nov 2004 22:47:54 +0200
527 * New release! Let's see if abcde 2.2 gets into Sarge.
528 * Added support for MPP/MP+(Musepack) encoding. Although I am trying to
529 get 2.2 for Debian Sarge release, mpc seems safe enough to introduce. See
530 corecodec.org for code.
531 * Some POSIX shell corrections (making the code more portable). Thanks to
532 Guillem Jover for pointing the problem out.
533 * CDYEAR is also passed to do_move(), so one can use it for sorting the
535 * Small MacOS X fix, allowing directories with "()" to work. Thanks to Evan
537 - On the MacOS X, I still do not know if abcde works correctly. If does
538 not, please, drop a note. Or else.
539 * DOSPLAYLIST also changes "/" with "\".
540 * DATA tracks are now excluded from the ripping process using internally
541 the cdparanoia "-Q" query option. If using another ripper, it does not
542 work (at least there is no support for them in abcde)
543 (Closes: #112692, #117412).
544 * New "0" choice for "None of the above" has been introduced. If selected, a
545 template is created and the user encouraged to edit it (Closes: #147683).
546 * New options for when the PLAYLIST already exists: erase, append or keep.
547 * Bug fixes along the code:
548 - abcde.1 corrections and additions
549 - abcde corrections and code reorganization. abcde now exits earlier if
550 some of the options are incompatible. Also the actions are set as
551 variables earlier, so we use less calls to external tools.
552 - abcde.conf additions
553 * The GENRE is munged now in its own mungegenre function, so that no more
554 upper-to-lowercase is done (forced) except if the default is used.
555 * Examples added to the tarball and /usr/share/doc/abcde/examples with two
556 scripts to make abcde kind-of-a ripper daemon.
557 * Changed to experimental to have an stable 2.1.x version in Sarge.
558 * Add CDDB information to Ogg/Vorbis and FLAC files (Closes: #265358).
559 * Added INTERACTIVE option. Set it to "n" and there you go, without user
561 * Changes normalize to normalize-audio (Closes: #267053)
562 * Copes with wav files being erased by the ripping tool.
563 * Small patch to support ()'s in the path under MacOSX. Thanks to Evan Jones
564 for noticing and sending the patch.
565 * Added -w for COMMENT seed. Used to give a comment to a given CD.
566 * Option "-t <number>" added to modify the numbering from a starting point
567 (Closes: #95828). Geez! That is low bug number...
568 * Added -T to modify also the tag entries on the songs. Currently available
569 for FLAC and Ogg/Vorbis.
570 * Removes trailing spaces (Closes: #280382).
571 * TRACKNAME now combines multi-lines from long CDDB entries.

585 * The "Let's have a good abcde in Sarge" release.
586 * The mungefile() function changes * with + by default to avoid creating
587 directories with the start expanded to the files found in the current
588 directory. abcde2.2 will most likelly contain a better workaround.
589 * Correct default OUTPUTFORMAT in man page (Closes: #250649)
591 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 30 Jul 2004 10:16:46 +0300
595 * Encoding the whole CD in one file is now possible. Use "-1" as a flag

603 is not set and no EJECT action is performed (Closes: #242506)

612 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Wed, 7 Apr 2004 06:30:31 +0000
616 * New setting for the CD speed. Some drives have a higher failure ratio when
617 spinning at high speed.
618 * Added a pre-read function for preparations. Uses include closing the CD
619 tray (Closes: #137548).
620 * Added COMMENT part in OggFlac metadata.
621 * Documentation update: README, abcde.1
622 * Do not tag GENRE and DATE in Ogg/Vorbis if CDDB does not provide them
624 * Solved bug with batch encoding, thanks to Travis McKay.
625 * When *DATAPREFIX was set, the playlist creation was made without newline.
626 * Added >&2 redirection to visualize the "Erase playlist" question
628 * Added the option "-m" to modify the resulting playlist, to contain CRLF at
629 the end of every line, letting some hardware players which insist with
630 DOS-style files to use them. Also, added DOSPLAYLIST as a config option.
631 * When using a selected, localy cached CDDB entry, we forgot to show the
632 selection when asking the user for editing the choice. Now we show it.
633 * Improved the logic in the order of events when using a local CDDB repo.
635 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 6 Apr 2004 05:29:38 +0000
639 * EDITOR is called now evaluating the variable, so it works with full path
641 * Patch for making md5sum a variable (since some systems use a different
643 * Correction by "huf" <mihi at mail.eol.hu>. The test code in line 376
645 * The PADDING code and some CDDB funcions were *really* messy. Now it looks
646 cleaner, works faster and some not needed network operations are no
647 longer performed when we are working with local CDDB repositories.
648 * Added "-V" for extra verbosity (on slow networks the user might be waiting
649 and wondering is somethins is happening).
650 * Solved a bug with the non-interactive code.
652 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Mon, 16 Feb 2004 00:13:12 +0000
656 * Missing quotes restored (Closes: #228648).
658 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 20 Jan 2004 06:43:04 +0000
662 * Solved the problem with re-runs of multiple choices not showing all the
663 choices (Closes: #228405) (this was a quick one)
664 * We now show the selected CDDB entry on a second run, instead of all of
665 them (not that one should stop abcde, but just in case). This way
666 consecutive interrupted runs obtain the same results.
668 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sun, 18 Jan 2004 22:42:15 +0000
672 * Check if normalizer is found in the PATH (Closes: #228014)
673 * Added (commented) bits to check if the CD being processed is the CD on the
674 tray, so that if differs we do not eject it.
675 * Store locally the CDDB information, under $HOME/.cddb since it is being
676 used by Grip (at least). PATH is user defined (Closes: #88048)
677 * If you are using cdda2wav and SCSI drives, you can set CDROMID for the
678 SCSI drive, since it differs from the cd-discid CDROM parameter
680 * MacOSX keeps on failing because the OS mounts the CD before we finish
681 ripping it... or something else. Please, test test test the code, and
682 report your findings. Pretty please. I have not been able to make it work
683 with the reports I have received.
685 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 16 Jan 2004 12:06:07 +0000
689 * Urgent fixes for the FreeBSD and MacOSX bits. When using cdda2wav, the
690 CDROM variable must be modified depending on the device interface. By now
691 we will not try to be very smart.
692 * Added a test for HTTPGETOPTS since it cannot be empty for the default
694 * Quick release to fix a problem with the CDROM detection code.
696 * Cleaned a bashism. Thanks to Klaus Ethgen (Closes: #226782).
697 * Rewrote some parts of the cdda2wav code. Since I do not have a machine
698 where cdda2wav works, I cannot test the code. The modifications have been
699 done following user reports. If you use cdda2wav and abcde does not work
700 for you, please, contact me and we will try to sort things out. Thanks.

706 * INLINETAG and STARTTRACKNUMBER flags added.
707 * CDROM checking is now done with a bit more wiselly (Closes: #219768)
708 * HTTPGET is only requested is "cddb" action is performed.
709 * Workout the possibility of cdparanoia erasing our wav files
711 * The default answer for editing CDDB data is now "y" if the disk is
712 unknown. If not, the default is "n". Requested by Ricky Buchanan.
713 * Now we do not erase silently any previous $PLAYLISTFILE left behind by a
714 previous CD ripping (Closes: #220753)
715 * Write info file with cdda2wav (Closes: #187702).
716 I do not use cdda2wav myself (me is cd-paranoid) so if anyone using
717 cdda2wav has a problem with this, please, report.
718 * CDROM comes in 1,0,0 kind of format for cdda2wav ripper. Corrected with a
719 quick patch. Kudos go to Mikhail Manuilov <viper5k at pisem dot net> for
721 * Merged bits to make abcde work under MacOSX. Thanks to Evan Jones.
722 * Merged bits to avoid FreeDB people anger and to cut down the "abcde." part
723 of the discid. Now you can set the "-C" command with the directory name.
724 Kudos go to Bart Samwel.
725 * Added some info bits to the config file about normalize, requested by
727 * Added some testing for the wav file before normalizing, to check that the
728 file is actually there.

757 * Patch applied to solve the track submission interface issues. Kudos to
758 Marc HE Brockschmidt, again (Closes: #126289)
759 * Small bug related with DISTMP3NICE solved. Kudos to Wilbert Alberts.
761 * Padding now creates the list with padded numbers. Test patch. This should
762 solve the problem with delayed tagging a single file.

768 * Removed a nasty bug where even if the encode failed, the track was marked
769 as successfully encoded (Closes: #208391)
770 * Various Artists has now its own PLAYLIST format (Closes: #137432)
771 * metaflac path corrected (Closes: #206110)
772 * Hopefully this version repairs the comment part for Ogg/Vorbis files.
773 * If nothing breaks, 2.2 will be released as soon as the KNOWNBUG is solved.
774 * Removed all the inline tagging since it breaks the action chain, except
775 in Ogg/Speex. Need to check if "vorbiscomment" can be used for it.
777 * Added DISTMP3NICE variable, to nice the distmp3 program (Closes: #208398)
779 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 4 Sep 2003 10:53:09 +0000
783 * Small fixes and patches.
784 + GENRE can be used for OUTPUTFORMAT and PLAYLISTFORMAT
785 + id3v2 should work now with -c for comments (Closes: #199949)
786 + small bug with batch encoding
787 + Variables are exported before the CDDB functions are called, so they
788 should use the right variables for the HTTPGET command.
789 + Tagging also use TRACKS and CDGENRE for MP3 files (kudos to Dirk
791 + FLAC encoding now uses dismp3 to encode remotelly (kudos to Taylor and
792 Kevin Cramer). HANDLE WITH CARE ;)
793 Also FLAC now uses CDGENRE and CDYEAR for tagging.
794 * tail/head change: -1 has been deprecated. Noted by Stephan Kulow.
795 * Ogg/Speex support added, for speech encoding (Closes #204635)
796 * Documentation update (Closes: #198825)

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

831 * Documentation updates: Closes: #186230.
832 * Usual set of bug fixes and corrections.
833 * Default behaviour of VAOUTPUTFORMAT output changed to avoid multiple
834 directories for a same album. I think the format is more logical, and you
835 can always split the files once they are created.
836 * Padding track wavs with 0 so if you want to burn those wavs just cdrecord
837 *.wav will do it. Use "-p" to force it when encoding a small (<9) number
838 of files (Closes: #111627).
839 * Added "KEEPWAVS" as a variable to keep those wavs. Default is "no". Can
840 use also "-k" in the command line. (Closes: #160372).
841 This probably should be changed with an option to move the wav files to
842 another directory instead of just keep de abcde.<cdid> directory.
843 * Added documentation comments about OUTPUTTYPE (Closes: #184963).
844 * abcde.conf cleanup: (Closes: #186230, #187400).

1065 * The "Very Long Changelog Entries Can Become Addicting" Release.
1066 * Switched default output type to ogg, default encoder to oggenc
1067 * Since 1.9.x prompts for CDDB edits by default there is now a -N switch
1068 for non-interactivity.
1069 * Handles cddb entries with random sprinklings of CR's and LF's
1070 * You can now specify niceness for the reader and encoders, thanks to
1071 Kevin Everets <kevin.everets@alcatel.com>
1072 * -j 0 will now disable local encoding, thanks to Antonio Fiol
1073 <Antonio.FIOL@enst-bretagne.fr>
1074 * Vorbize should actually work now, thanks to Kevin Everets and James
1076 * Oggenc/Vorbize commenting support
1077 * Made TRACKNUM available for playlist generation
1078 * Fleshed out the TODO list a bit more
1079 * mungefilename() now translates ':' to ' -' by default. Rationale: You
1080 can't put ':' on a FAT filesystem. It also wreaks havoc with Samba.
1082 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 25 Sep 2000
1086 * The "Don't Fraun" Release.

1092 overridden the OUTPUTFORMAT default, change the ".mp3" to
1094 * Beginnings of Ogg Vorbis support (vorbize and oggenc) - warning:
1097 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 17 Aug 2000

1104 * Restructured program execution scheduling around central status file
1105 * Moved cddb-tool interactivity to abcde, 'cddb-tool get' no longer exists,
1106 it is now 'cddb-tool query' and 'cddb-tool read'.
1107 * Removed -e, -v, and -V, since abcde will now prompt you if you want to
1108 edit or otherwise muck with the data after you have a chance to see it.
1110 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 22 Jun 2000
1114 * The "That wasn't chicken" release.
1115 * Remote distributed encoding had a bad bug in 1.1 - work to be done
1116 remotely was duplicated locally (everything still turned out ok - there
1117 was just no speedup). Fixed that.
1118 * Restructured encode_and_tag function.
1120 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 07 May 2000

1189 * Added ID3COMMENT config option
1191 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 10 Jan 2000
1195 * The "Get it Before the World Implodes" Release
1196 * Added -D (debugging option, outputs debugging information to stderr).
1197 Very useful for submitting bug reports, hint hint hint :)
1198 Just do 'abcde -D 2>logfile' and include logfile in your bug report.
1199 * Now uses id3's new -T option to embed track numbers in ID3 tags.

1221 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 28 Nov 1999
1225 * Removed parallelization of silent encoder processes
1227 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 16 Nov 1999
1231 * Removed bashisms (again :)
1233 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 14 Nov 1999
1237 * Fixed some output issues regarding background encoding that cropped up in
1240 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 7 Nov 1999
1244 * New name. A Better CD Encoder. cdgrab was already taken - the original
1245 cdgrab name belongs to a CDDA reading program for DOS dating back to
1246 1993. It's still in use and active development, so I'm changing the
1247 name of cdgrab instead. See this URL for a description of the original
1248 cdgrab: http://www.scn.rain.com/pub/cdrom/cdgrab.txt
1250 Your old /etc/cdgrab.conf and/or ~/.cdgrab.conf can simply be
1251 renamed to /etc/abcde.conf and ~/.abcde.conf.
1253 The program name is now 'abcde'.
1255 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 2 Nov 1999
1259 * cdgrab 0.7 through 0.8.2 would leave around cdgrab.xxxxxx
1260 tempfiles with -j. Fixed that.
1261 * Fixed quoting issues regarding spaces in output files
1263 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 28 Oct 1999
1267 * Supports the 'gogo' mp3 encoder
1268 * cddb-tool escapes double quotes when sourcing its temp files
1269 * Added cddb-tool manpage
1271 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 10 Oct 1999
1275 * Cleared up some bashisms from the patches merged in 0.8
1277 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 19 Sep 1999
1281 * Fixed a bug where if multiple tracks (but not the entire CD) was
1282 specificed explicitly, cdgrab would loop forever after the first track
1283 * Now uses Debian's sensible-editor wrapper if available
1284 * Merged in patches from Nathaniel J Smith that puts cddb lookup
1285 functionality in a separate script, cddb-tool
1286 * Adds WAVOUTPUTDIR environment variable for those running out of space in
1289 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 26 Aug 1999
1293 * Yet another quick fix to finish what 0.7.6 started - cdgrab should now
1294 handle multiple inexact matches as well. (Thanks again to Robert Macaulay)
1296 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 12 Aug 1999
1300 * Another quick bugfix release - hopefully this will handle inexact matches
1301 properly now. (Thank you Robert Macaulay :)
1303 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 9 Aug 1999
1307 * Quick bugfix release - with any luck I can start on 0.8 soon :)
1308 * **** YOU WILL NEED TO EDIT CDGRAB.CONF **** if you use lame as
1309 /usr/bin/lamer. The default program name is now 'lame' as of lame v3.0.
1310 If you don't want to touch your lame installation, put the following in
1311 your cdgrab.conf: "LAME=lamer"
1312 * Omits -w from cdparanoia commands
1313 * Depends on cdparanoia-bin or cdparanoia now - this accommodates the recent
1314 cdparanoia package namechange.
1315 * Fixed a stealth-whitespace typo at line 495. Thanks go to Gregory T.
1316 Norris for tracking this down.
1318 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 13 Jul 1999
1322 * Now only uses the first match from a CDDB datafile for the track
1323 information, this works around a cddb glitch some of you may have
1325 * Default config file now gets version number from program.
1326 * added 'debug' option to CDROMREADERSYNTAX to get cdparanoia to only rip
1327 the first 5 seconds of a track. This is very useful to those debugging
1328 cdgrab, makes things go much faster. This will also prevent me releasing
1330 * Now puts options last on the encoder command line if you are using
1331 bladeenc or l3enc, this should allow the proper use of these encoders
1332 with additional commandline options (thanks to Justin Hugh Daly for
1334 * m3u PLAYLIST SUPPORT! Check out the new -p and -P options!
1336 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 7 Jun 1999
1340 * Fixes wget calling method
1341 * -l/LOWDISK documented
1342 * Fixes the lowdisk #2 option so it exits cleanly
1343 * Lets you enter track info for CDs without CDDB matches now
1345 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 23 May 1999
1349 * Woops, left some debugging code in 0.7.1 - if you have truckloads of 80kb
1352 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 16 May 1999
1356 * LOWDISK/-l option added for those who don't have the disk space to run a
1357 parallelized session.
1358 * MAXPROCS added to config file
1359 * CDDB handling revisited - cdgrab should now properly handle CD's with
1360 multiple or inexact CDDB entries.
1362 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 14 May 1999
1366 * Parallelizes ripping and encoding - this may take substantially more disk
1367 space temporarily (up to 500MB or so depending on how fast your CPU is
1368 compared to your cdrom drive) but cdgrab will be done with your CD
1370 * Allows for SMP optimizations (multiple encoders running at once) with the
1372 * Output fix for TOC printing
1373 * cd-discid split off into it's own package
1375 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 7 May 1999
1379 * Fixes encoder and cdrom reader option-passing bug
1381 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 4 Apr 1999

1386 * Removed a bashism from the usage function
1388 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 29 Mar 1999
1392 * Tacks a .wav extension to the wave data temporary file to make bladeenc
1394 * Munges /'s to _'s now instead of eating them
1395 * Adds command-line option configuration options for backend programs
1396 * Properly zero-pads the TRACKNUM variable
1398 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 28 Mar 1999
1402 * Added support for inexact or multiple CDDB matches
1403 * Properly bombs out if CDDB can't come up with a match
1404 (without CDDB, you might as well use cdparanoia -B)
1406 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 18 Mar 1999
1410 * Added ALBUMFILE, fixed manpage reference to it
1411 * Deletes editor backups from 'cdgrab -e' automagically
1412 (I wish mutt did this :)
1413 * Bombs out if there's no CD in the drive
1414 * Bombs out if any necessary external programs don't exist
1415 * Encourages people to use brackets for OUTPUTFORMAT variables to
1416 handle formats like Artist/TrackName_Number.mp3
1418 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 16 Mar 1999
1422 * Fixed one thinko in user preferences loading and another in the tagger
1423 * New option syntax - if you used to specify a cdrom device through the
1424 command line, use 'cdgrab -d device' now to get the same result.
1425 * Allows you to edit CDDB response data before using it (-e)
1426 * Added support for getting a user-specified selection of tracks
1427 * Added support for user-specified output file formats
