7 -- Steve McIntyre <93sam@debian.org> Wed, 18 Jan 2017 11:02:38 +0000
11 * Make fdkaac the default for m4a encoding. Faac can still be selected
12 for m4a encding via ~/.abcde.conf file but best not to :).

55 of year information support in 2.7.1. Thanks to Ed Oehler and Alan W.
56 Kerr for debugging help.
57 * Support for output to the Matroska container (mka). Encoder
58 is FFmpeg (or avconv). Typical conf file syntax would be:
60 MKAENCODERSYNTAX=ffmpeg
62 FFMPEGENCOPTS="-c:a ac3 -b:a 448k"
65 Thanks to Shantiq and Fakeoutdoorsman of the Ubuntu Forums
67 * Add id3tag mp3 tagger as this is the tagger available to

101 http://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9
102 * Support added for encoding to True Audio using tta while still
103 supporting the older ttaenc. Tagging is with mid3v2.
104 * Support added for encoding to MPEG-1 Audio Layer II (mp2)
105 with either twolame or FFmpeg / avconv. Tagging with mid3v2.
106 * Encoding to WavPack with FFmpeg. Some slight changes to WavPack
107 syntax with backward compatibility built in for abcde 2.7.
108 * Encoding to m4a container with FFmpeg or avconv. This allows
109 for alac encoding with FFmpeg's reverse engineered alac encoder.
110 * AAC encoding with fhgaacenc via Wine. Tagging is provided
111 by AtomicParsley which has been added back to abcde :). This
112 allows encoding with HE-AAC v2, unavailable with qaac.
113 * Support added for AAC encoding with qaac via Wine. This
114 also allows for Apple Lossless Audio Coding (alac) using
115 either qaac or refalac. This closes Issue 142, thanks to
116 Bernd Fischer-Krellenberg for the enhancement request.
117 * Grab year information too when using musicbrainz. Thanks to
118 Marco Hoppstaedter for the patch. Closes issue 10:

121 -- Andrew Strong <andrew.david.strong@gmail.com> Sun, 4 Oct 2015 09:31:07 +0000
125 * Rewrite of abcde's mungefilename function. Thanks to
126 Andreas Kusalananda Kahari for this and also thanks
127 to Andrew Willis for the report which triggered the
128 rewrite. Thanks also to shughes for an earlier report.
129 This closes Issues 72 and 135.
130 * TRACKTOTAL now written to flac and ogg files. Thanks to
131 monkth for the notification. This resolves Issue 76.
132 * Support added for the downloading of album art. A huge
133 thank you to Johannes Gernemann who came forward with
134 the technique used and also the original patch. An equally
135 huge thanks to Richard who extended and greatly enhanced
136 the original patch. Detailed documentation added to the
137 abcde FAQ document although the sane defaults in place
138 will guarantee a good experience even for those who do
139 not read documentation! This closes Issue 33.
140 * Support added for ripping with the GNU Compact Disc
141 Input and Control library (libcdio) as requested by
142 both gentoo and NixOS. The utility used is cd-paranoia
143 and can best be called from a conf file as follows:
145 CDROMREADERSYNTAX=libcdio
146 CD_PARANOIA=cd-paranoia
147 CDPARANOIAOPTS="--never-skip=40 --verbose"
149 with the CD_PARANOIA variable giving the correct path
150 to cd-paranoia. I believe that cd-paranoia uses the same
151 options as cdparanoia but if I am proven incorrect this
152 will need to be rectified...
153 * Fix for encoding with bladeenc and usepipes.
154 * Fix for broken ripping with dagrab. Closes Issue 140.
155 * Fix for diskutil selecting wrong disk on OS X. Thanks
156 to Richard for this fix which closes Issue 139.

158 the abcde-musicbrainz-tool. Thanks yet again to
159 Matthias Andree for this work! Closes issue 138.
160 * New variables for m4a/aac encoding options to be
161 manipulated in a users ~/.abcde.conf file:
162 1. FAACENCOPTS for faac encoding options
163 2. NEROAACENCOPTS for neroAacEnc options
164 3. FDKAACENCOPTS for fdkaacenc options
165 Note that these options replace the now obsolete AACENCOPTS.
166 * Check added for neroAacTag when encoding with neroAacEnc.
167 * Several additions to usepipes with the following encoders
171 3. mpcenc: Musepack SV8
176 The cd ripper cdda2wav (icedax) has also been added.
177 * Ripping and encoding with 'usepipes' fixed. This fix
179 * Suggested encoding options for mp3enc added to the sample
180 abcde.conf. Last release of mp3enc in 1998 but it still
181 works flawlessly with a modern abcde!
182 * Suggested encoding options for l3enc added to the sample
183 abcde.conf. Congratulations to abcde which in 2015 still
184 works with l3enc which saw its final release in 1997!
185 * Fix for -o option use with options and multiple outputs.
186 This allows for commandline options such as the following:
187 abcde -o 'flac:-8,mp3:-b 320'
188 Thanks to Matthias Andree for yet another quality patch!
189 This closes Issue 136.
190 * Support added for ReplayGain with WavPack encoding.
191 * Fix for MusePack to allow the use of the SV8 ReplayGain
192 application 'mpcgain'.
193 * Monkey's Audio (ape) encoding added. Tagging is with
194 Robert Muth's apetag. Thanks to Shantiq for testing.
195 * Simplify Opus tagging.This closes Issue 133.
196 * Allow 'clean' when OUTPUTTYPE=wav, broken for some time.

200 local CDDB search. Thanks to Reuben Thomas for the
201 notification. This partially resolves Issue 121.
202 * AtomicParsley removed from debian/control, WavPack added.
203 * Details of abcde's handling of faac compiled with and
204 without mp4v2 added as a new entry to FAQs.
205 * Fix to allow display of the 'date' meta tag generated
206 by eyeD3 in vlc, Audacious and friends.
207 Thanks to Reuben Thomas. This closes Issue 126.
208 * Fix for flac floating point error. Thanks to rwvtveer
209 for the patch which closes Issue 113.
210 * Formalised 3 methods of mp3 tagging using ID3TAGV:
211 1.id3v2.4 using eyeD3 (set in abcde as the default)
212 2.id3v2.3 using id3v2
214 Thanks to Adriaan for this patch which fixes issue 101.

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

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

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

517 * Repaired multiple CDDB entries when recursive search is active.
518 * Patch from A. Costa to clean some typos (Closes: #351774).
520 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 07 Feb 2006 23:48:00 +0200
524 * Repaired multiple output encoding (Closes: #351362).
525 * Added missing space on a [] test statement.
526 * Added "default" action, so that one can add things on top of what we do
527 regularly, without having to list everything: "-a default,playlist" works.
528 * Restored all the > /dev/null instead of using grep -q, since it is not
530 * Added Solaris OS entry, in case we need to define things for it.

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

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

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

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

641 several places. Fixed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

868 cleaner, works faster and some not needed network operations are no
869 longer performed when we are working with local CDDB repositories.
870 * Added "-V" for extra verbosity (on slow networks the user might be waiting
871 and wondering is somethins is happening).

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

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

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

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

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

1006 + GENRE can be used for OUTPUTFORMAT and PLAYLISTFORMAT
1007 + id3v2 should work now with -c for comments (Closes: #199949)
1008 + small bug with batch encoding
1009 + Variables are exported before the CDDB functions are called, so they
1010 should use the right variables for the HTTPGET command.
1011 + Tagging also use TRACKS and CDGENRE for MP3 files (kudos to Dirk
1013 + FLAC encoding now uses dismp3 to encode remotelly (kudos to Taylor and
1014 Kevin Cramer). HANDLE WITH CARE ;)
1015 Also FLAC now uses CDGENRE and CDYEAR for tagging.
1016 * tail/head change: -1 has been deprecated. Noted by Stephan Kulow.
1017 * Ogg/Speex support added, for speech encoding (Closes #204635)
1018 * Documentation update (Closes: #198825)
1019 * Patch for "=" in the name applied (Closes: #197199)

1026 + COMMENT should work now.
1027 + Aesthetic padding on the total amount of tracks.
1029 + CDROM is now checked after reading the user defined entries.
1030 * Remove trailing args from $EDITOR when checking -x: Closes #179222.
1032 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sun, 18 May 2003 18:47:36 +0000
1036 * Makefile was missing cddb-tool.1.
1037 * Introduced dagrab as CD ripping utility.
1038 * cddb-tool seq calls converted to functions. No more distro dependencies.
1039 * WGET* variables converted to HTTPGET* variables. FreeBSD can safelly use
1041 * More FreeBSD specific bits: CDROM and EJECT changes.
1042 * Typo in abcde.conf
1043 * Added CDDBPROTO for specifying the protocol level of the cddb query.
1044 * CDDB protocol upgraded to 5. CDYEAR and CDGENRE are now used for CD
1046 * COMMENT is now used for inline tagging with oggenc (my mistake it was
1047 missing): Closes: #191475.

1053 * Documentation updates: Closes: #186230.
1054 * Usual set of bug fixes and corrections.
1055 * Default behaviour of VAOUTPUTFORMAT output changed to avoid multiple
1056 directories for a same album. I think the format is more logical, and you
1057 can always split the files once they are created.
1058 * Padding track wavs with 0 so if you want to burn those wavs just cdrecord
1059 *.wav will do it. Use "-p" to force it when encoding a small (<9) number
1060 of files (Closes: #111627).
1061 * Added "KEEPWAVS" as a variable to keep those wavs. Default is "no". Can
1062 use also "-k" in the command line. (Closes: #160372).
1063 This probably should be changed with an option to move the wav files to
1064 another directory instead of just keep de abcde.<cdid> directory.
1065 * Added documentation comments about OUTPUTTYPE (Closes: #184963).
1066 * abcde.conf cleanup: (Closes: #186230, #187400).

1078 * Since abcde does not depend on eject, an execution test ([-x]) was added,
1079 but that means abcde needs a test for eject in the patch if -x is passed:
1081 * Merged some more bits from Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt: Closes: #126289.
1082 * A bit of more info in abcde.conf: Closes: #184963.

1336 * The "That wasn't chicken" release.
1337 * Remote distributed encoding had a bad bug in 1.1 - work to be done
1338 remotely was duplicated locally (everything still turned out ok - there

1439 * Fixed bug added in 0.8 where the multiple inexact match choice selection
1440 would be hidden to the user (cddb-tool wasn't sending all user output to
1441 stderr as it should).

1459 * Fixed some output issues regarding background encoding that cropped up in
1462 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 7 Nov 1999
1466 * New name. A Better CD Encoder. cdgrab was already taken - the original
1467 cdgrab name belongs to a CDDA reading program for DOS dating back to
1468 1993. It's still in use and active development, so I'm changing the
1469 name of cdgrab instead. See this URL for a description of the original
1470 cdgrab: http://www.scn.rain.com/pub/cdrom/cdgrab.txt
1472 Your old /etc/cdgrab.conf and/or ~/.cdgrab.conf can simply be
1473 renamed to /etc/abcde.conf and ~/.abcde.conf.
1475 The program name is now 'abcde'.
1477 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 2 Nov 1999
1481 * cdgrab 0.7 through 0.8.2 would leave around cdgrab.xxxxxx

1497 * Cleared up some bashisms from the patches merged in 0.8
1499 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 19 Sep 1999
1503 * Fixed a bug where if multiple tracks (but not the entire CD) was
1504 specificed explicitly, cdgrab would loop forever after the first track
1505 * Now uses Debian's sensible-editor wrapper if available
1506 * Merged in patches from Nathaniel J Smith that puts cddb lookup
1507 functionality in a separate script, cddb-tool
1508 * Adds WAVOUTPUTDIR environment variable for those running out of space in
1511 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 26 Aug 1999
1515 * Yet another quick fix to finish what 0.7.6 started - cdgrab should now
1516 handle multiple inexact matches as well. (Thanks again to Robert Macaulay)
1518 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 12 Aug 1999
1522 * Another quick bugfix release - hopefully this will handle inexact matches
1523 properly now. (Thank you Robert Macaulay :)
1525 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 9 Aug 1999
1529 * Quick bugfix release - with any luck I can start on 0.8 soon :)
1530 * **** YOU WILL NEED TO EDIT CDGRAB.CONF **** if you use lame as
1531 /usr/bin/lamer. The default program name is now 'lame' as of lame v3.0.
1532 If you don't want to touch your lame installation, put the following in
1533 your cdgrab.conf: "LAME=lamer"
1534 * Omits -w from cdparanoia commands
1535 * Depends on cdparanoia-bin or cdparanoia now - this accommodates the recent
1536 cdparanoia package namechange.
1537 * Fixed a stealth-whitespace typo at line 495. Thanks go to Gregory T.
1538 Norris for tracking this down.
1540 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 13 Jul 1999
1544 * Now only uses the first match from a CDDB datafile for the track
1545 information, this works around a cddb glitch some of you may have
1547 * Default config file now gets version number from program.
1548 * added 'debug' option to CDROMREADERSYNTAX to get cdparanoia to only rip
1549 the first 5 seconds of a track. This is very useful to those debugging
1550 cdgrab, makes things go much faster. This will also prevent me releasing
1552 * Now puts options last on the encoder command line if you are using
1553 bladeenc or l3enc, this should allow the proper use of these encoders
1554 with additional commandline options (thanks to Justin Hugh Daly for
1556 * m3u PLAYLIST SUPPORT! Check out the new -p and -P options!

1574 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 16 May 1999
1578 * LOWDISK/-l option added for those who don't have the disk space to run a
1579 parallelized session.
1580 * MAXPROCS added to config file
1581 * CDDB handling revisited - cdgrab should now properly handle CD's with
1582 multiple or inexact CDDB entries.
1584 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 14 May 1999
1588 * Parallelizes ripping and encoding - this may take substantially more disk
1589 space temporarily (up to 500MB or so depending on how fast your CPU is
1590 compared to your cdrom drive) but cdgrab will be done with your CD
1592 * Allows for SMP optimizations (multiple encoders running at once) with the
1594 * Output fix for TOC printing
1595 * cd-discid split off into it's own package
1597 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 7 May 1999
