3 * Add some documentation for the aged CD ripper dagrab. Thanks to
4 Teika Kazura for the notification and suggested documentation. This
5 closes Issue 50: https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50
6 * Work by Matthias Andree <matthias.andree@gmx.de> to address the issue
7 where abcde fails with accented characters from CD-TEXT. The issue and
8 partial fix applied here documented in Issue 53:
9 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53
10 and also in the abcde mailing list:
11 https://lists.einval.com/pipermail/abcde-users/2017-January/000232.html
12 * Allow for embedding of album art downloaded by the getalbumart fuction.
13 Currently this is available for flac (using metaflac), mp3 (using eyed3),
14 m4a (using AtomicParsley) and WavPack aka wv (using wvtag).
15 This can be invoked in 3 ways:
17 1. Use the commandline '-B' option (this will also call getalbumart)
18 2. Use the commandline '-a embedalbumart' option to add to list of actions
19 3. Use 'embedalbumart' in the 'ACTIONS' list in ~/.abcde.conf
21 Still needs more development but it is perfectly usable at the moment!
22 * Use md5 rather than md5sum under macOS. Thanks to JCount for the bug
23 report and also the fix. This solves Issue 59:
24 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59
25 * Support added for encoding with Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF).
26 Thanks to Massimo Villa for the feature request. FFmpeg is required
27 for the encoding, the container and suffix are 'aiff'.
28 * Allow selection of either cddb or musicbrainz from the command line:
30 -Q Select CDDBMETHOD from the command line. Choice is cddb or musicbrainz.
32 Command line letters are fast running out but the 'Q' option quite neatly
34 * Allow for embedding with do_embedalbumart() for single track encodes when
35 OUTPUTFORMAT and ONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT are different. Thanks to Ashley Gittins
36 for the bug report. This closes Issue 63:
37 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63
38 * Experimental support for embedding albumart with ogg files. The slightly
39 tortuous technique drawn from 2 sources:
41 1. https://github.com/biapy/howto.biapy.com/blob/master/various/mussync-tools
42 2. https://github.com/acabal/scripts/blob/master/ogg-cover-art
44 Testing is strongly encouraged, perhaps the simplest way to test is with:
48 Or the appropriate settings in an ~/.abcde.conf file.
49 * Massive rework of CD lookup code so support multiple sources
50 better. Thanks to Gabriel Rosenkoetter for his initial idea in this
51 area, and to Tomasz Goliński on irc for initial inspiration on how
52 this should work better.
53 There are now 3 different options for CD lookup: cddb, musicbrainz and
54 cdtext. They can all be listed in a comma-separated list for
55 CDDBMETHOD and the code will now call all of them in the sequence
56 listed. All the results will be combined into one list at the end for
57 the user to select, just like would have previously worked for one
58 source only. Closes Issue 42:
59 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42
60 * Fix Musicbrainz ID calculation in makeids()
61 Apply fix suggested by petecollins24@gmail.com; add PREGAP to
62 LEADOUT to correct Musicbrainz ID calculation. Hopefully closes
63 Issue 54: https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54
64 * Fix abcde.mkcue() when handling the --wholedisk option. Thanks to
65 Nino Burini for the patch. Closes Issue 47 and maybe also 45:
66 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=47
67 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45
68 * Add more comprehensive examples for filename munging in the example
69 config file. Closes Issue 49:
70 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49
71 * Add a more better fix for the year lookup problem in abcde-musicbrainz-tool
72 Thanks to Tom Samstag for the patch. Closes Issue 57:
73 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57
77 * Fix silly error introduced in abcde-musicbrainz-tool when fixing bug
78 30. Thanks to Thomas Klausner for the bug/patch. Closes Issue 52:
79 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52
81 -- Steve McIntyre <93sam@debian.org> Wed, 18 Jan 2017 11:02:38 +0000
85 * Make fdkaac the default for m4a encoding. Faac can still be selected
86 for m4a encding via ~/.abcde.conf file but best not to :).
87 * Split user-definable mungefilename function into mungetrackname,
88 mungeartistname, and mungealbumname, each of which default to

100 Gabriel Rosenkoetter for the patch. Closes Issue 42:
101 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42
102 * Add Recommends on glyrc and imagemagick in Debian packaging. Closes
104 * Fix up handling of the first few sectors when reading
105 from a whole-CD flac file or using cdparanoia in one-track
106 mode. Thanks to Matthias König for the patch. Closes Issue 44:
107 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44
108 * Tweak the fix in musicbrainz for handling sketchy returned data
109 some more. Hopefully closes Issue 30:
110 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30
111 * Re-enable some commented out cdparanoia/debug code in do_discid.
113 https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14
114 * Add "-a" to lots of grep calls in case of "binary" looking data,
115 e.g. non-ascii text in track titles!

123 Closes Debian Bug #842178
125 -- Steve McIntyre <93sam@debian.org> Sat, 14 Jan 2017 00:53:48 +0000
129 * When using musicbrainz, don't assume that there will be release
130 events attached to a particular CD release. Bug fix for the addition
131 of year information support in 2.7.1. Thanks to Ed Oehler and Alan W.
132 Kerr for debugging help.
133 * Support for output to the Matroska container (mka). Encoder
134 is FFmpeg (or avconv). Typical conf file syntax would be:
136 MKAENCODERSYNTAX=ffmpeg
138 FFMPEGENCOPTS="-c:a ac3 -b:a 448k"
141 Thanks to Shantiq and Fakeoutdoorsman of the Ubuntu Forums
143 * Add id3tag mp3 tagger as this is the tagger available to
144 OpenBSD users. Thanks to Christopher Zimmermann for the
145 notification and patch.
146 * Allow for cddb response 500. Thanks again to Von Welch for the
147 bug report and patch. This closes Issue 26:
148 http://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26
149 * Fix for 'expansion of $REDIR' bug on MacOSX. Thanks to Von Welch
150 for the bug report. This closes Issue 22:

152 * Makefile adjusted to allow the sample abcde.conf file to be
153 installed by default to /etc rather than $(prefix)/etc.
154 Thanks to Volker Schmidt from archlinux for the bug report:
155 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/46671

174 http://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8
175 * Add YEAR and GENRE variables to do_getalbumart(). Thanks to
176 Johannes Gernemann for this patch which closes issue 9:
177 http://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9
178 * Support added for encoding to True Audio using tta while still
179 supporting the older ttaenc. Tagging is with mid3v2.
180 * Support added for encoding to MPEG-1 Audio Layer II (mp2)
181 with either twolame or FFmpeg / avconv. Tagging with mid3v2.
182 * Encoding to WavPack with FFmpeg. Some slight changes to WavPack
183 syntax with backward compatibility built in for abcde 2.7.
184 * Encoding to m4a container with FFmpeg or avconv. This allows
185 for alac encoding with FFmpeg's reverse engineered alac encoder.
186 * AAC encoding with fhgaacenc via Wine. Tagging is provided
187 by AtomicParsley which has been added back to abcde :). This
188 allows encoding with HE-AAC v2, unavailable with qaac.
189 * Support added for AAC encoding with qaac via Wine. This
190 also allows for Apple Lossless Audio Coding (alac) using
191 either qaac or refalac. This closes Issue 142, thanks to
192 Bernd Fischer-Krellenberg for the enhancement request.
193 * Grab year information too when using musicbrainz. Thanks to
194 Marco Hoppstaedter for the patch. Closes issue 10:
195 http://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10
197 -- Andrew Strong <andrew.david.strong@gmail.com> Sun, 4 Oct 2015 09:31:07 +0000
201 * Rewrite of abcde's mungefilename function. Thanks to
202 Andreas Kusalananda Kahari for this and also thanks
203 to Andrew Willis for the report which triggered the
204 rewrite. Thanks also to shughes for an earlier report.
205 This closes Issues 72 and 135.
206 * TRACKTOTAL now written to flac and ogg files. Thanks to
207 monkth for the notification. This resolves Issue 76.
208 * Support added for the downloading of album art. A huge
209 thank you to Johannes Gernemann who came forward with
210 the technique used and also the original patch. An equally
211 huge thanks to Richard who extended and greatly enhanced
212 the original patch. Detailed documentation added to the
213 abcde FAQ document although the sane defaults in place
214 will guarantee a good experience even for those who do
215 not read documentation! This closes Issue 33.
216 * Support added for ripping with the GNU Compact Disc
217 Input and Control library (libcdio) as requested by
218 both gentoo and NixOS. The utility used is cd-paranoia
219 and can best be called from a conf file as follows:
221 CDROMREADERSYNTAX=libcdio
222 CD_PARANOIA=cd-paranoia
223 CDPARANOIAOPTS="--never-skip=40 --verbose"
225 with the CD_PARANOIA variable giving the correct path
226 to cd-paranoia. I believe that cd-paranoia uses the same
227 options as cdparanoia but if I am proven incorrect this
228 will need to be rectified...
229 * Fix for encoding with bladeenc and usepipes.
230 * Fix for broken ripping with dagrab. Closes Issue 140.
231 * Fix for diskutil selecting wrong disk on OS X. Thanks
232 to Richard for this fix which closes Issue 139.

235 Matthias Andree for this work! Closes issue 138.
236 * New variables for m4a/aac encoding options to be
237 manipulated in a users ~/.abcde.conf file:
238 1. FAACENCOPTS for faac encoding options
239 2. NEROAACENCOPTS for neroAacEnc options
240 3. FDKAACENCOPTS for fdkaacenc options
241 Note that these options replace the now obsolete AACENCOPTS.
242 * Check added for neroAacTag when encoding with neroAacEnc.
243 * Several additions to usepipes with the following encoders
247 3. mpcenc: Musepack SV8
252 The cd ripper cdda2wav (icedax) has also been added.
253 * Ripping and encoding with 'usepipes' fixed. This fix
255 * Suggested encoding options for mp3enc added to the sample
256 abcde.conf. Last release of mp3enc in 1998 but it still
257 works flawlessly with a modern abcde!
258 * Suggested encoding options for l3enc added to the sample
259 abcde.conf. Congratulations to abcde which in 2015 still
260 works with l3enc which saw its final release in 1997!
261 * Fix for -o option use with options and multiple outputs.
262 This allows for commandline options such as the following:
263 abcde -o 'flac:-8,mp3:-b 320'
264 Thanks to Matthias Andree for yet another quality patch!
265 This closes Issue 136.
266 * Support added for ReplayGain with WavPack encoding.
267 * Fix for MusePack to allow the use of the SV8 ReplayGain
268 application 'mpcgain'.
269 * Monkey's Audio (ape) encoding added. Tagging is with
270 Robert Muth's apetag. Thanks to Shantiq for testing.
271 * Simplify Opus tagging.This closes Issue 133.
272 * Allow 'clean' when OUTPUTTYPE=wav, broken for some time.
273 Thanks to Roger rogerx.oss<at>gmail.com for showing the
274 problem and demonstrating the fix. This closes Issue 94.
275 * Clarification that CDDBLOCALRECURSIVE=y is required for
276 local CDDB search. Thanks to Reuben Thomas for the
277 notification. This partially resolves Issue 121.
278 * AtomicParsley removed from debian/control, WavPack added.
279 * Details of abcde's handling of faac compiled with and
280 without mp4v2 added as a new entry to FAQs.
281 * Fix to allow display of the 'date' meta tag generated
282 by eyeD3 in vlc, Audacious and friends.
283 Thanks to Reuben Thomas. This closes Issue 126.
284 * Fix for flac floating point error. Thanks to rwvtveer
285 for the patch which closes Issue 113.
286 * Formalised 3 methods of mp3 tagging using ID3TAGV:
287 1.id3v2.4 using eyeD3 (set in abcde as the default)
288 2.id3v2.3 using id3v2
290 Thanks to Adriaan for this patch which fixes issue 101.
291 * Support for WavPack added. Closes issue 123.

498 * Add a recommends for vorbis-tools (Closes: #392843).
499 * Update standards version to 3.8.2 (no changes required).
500 * Fix debian/preinst not to ignore errors.
502 -- Colin Tuckley <colint@debian.org> Sun, 02 Aug 2009 13:32:30 +0100
508 * The "It took me a long time to get this release out" release.
509 * abcde.1: remove -M in favour of "-a cue" (Closes: #382614, #396505).
510 * Added a check for a DOCUE already set in the command line
512 * Added -q <Q> as a quality option.
513 * PREGAP was not set in some situations (Closes: #390170).
514 * Added -nv to wget for "no verbose" output, to avoid wget complaining it
515 cannot be quiet and verbose at the same time if "verbose = on" is set in
516 ~/.wgetrc (Closes: #388715).
517 * Added XS-Vcs-Svn: field to control file.
518 * Added some hints if we are using Debian for what packages need to be
519 installed if their binaries are not found.
520 * Spelling mistakes corrected (thanks to Ville Skytta).
521 * Unset GREP_OPTIONS to avoid things like printing number in the beginning of
522 the line (Closes: #383771).
523 * Default answer to erase a playlist was not working (thanks to Charles
524 Steinkuehler) (Closes: #395108).
525 * Corrected man page wrapping. Thanks to Edward J. Shornock
527 * Adds DISCNUMBER to Ogg/Vorbis and FLAC when using -W.
528 * Minor typos (Closes: #458995).
529 * Added AtomicParley for AAC encoding. Thanks to Bill Adams.
530 * Added by Marc Staveley:
532 - track comments if null and present in CDDB.
533 * Corrected copyright information (Closes: #516535).
536 * Added new uploader (Closes: #529695).
537 * Fix Lintian warning for make-clean-error.
538 * Fix FSF address in debian/copyright.
539 * Fix binary-arch-rules-but-pkg-is-arch-indep lintian warning.
540 * Add homepage: field to debian/control
541 * Update standards version to 3.8.0
542 * Remove debian/conffiles (it is not needed).
543 * Fix syntax error in abcde (missing fi).
545 -- Colin Tuckley <colint@debian.org> Sat, 25 Jul 2009 09:50:42 +0100
549 * Default to UNICODE (UTF8) tags and comments (Closes: #282332).
550 - Added CDDBPROTO option in config file (Closes: #349951)
551 * Added a missing "INDEX 01" entry for CUE sheet creation.
552 * Avoid completing the encoding of files if we aborted previously.
553 * Embed the CUE sheet if we have a cuesheet file and we have a single FLAC
554 file, even if we are not tagging. This way we can use the file as a source
555 even if it is not tagged/named properly.
556 * Fails to quote filenames properly (Closes: #355296)
557 * Introduced VA/ONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT.
558 * Added a missing check for AACENCODER.
559 * Updated config file with some new AAC bits.
560 * Updated FSF address.
561 * Corrected NetBSD options for ftp (Thanks to Marius).
562 * The final 2.4 will have "cuefile" as an action instead of as a flag.
563 * Create the cuefile when extracting from a FLAC file.
564 * Small bugs (Charles Steinkuehler):
565 - Added missing quotes (Closes: #375710)
566 - toolame is included in Debian as default MP3 encoder
567 - Use IFS to preserve spaces when adding metadata to a cuefile
568 * Small documentation changes:
569 - abcde.1 (Closes: #364978)
570 * The following entries have in common that both add an internal cue2discid
571 function. I will evaluate which one is more accurate and decide which one
572 to use. Right now they are not conflicting:
573 - Added internal mkcue and cue2discid functions (Charles Steinkuehler) and
574 add a check for internal abcde.<function> to make sure we are using the
575 correct version (not sure if needed ;)
576 - Added an internal implementation of cue2discid, so there is no need for
577 an external program to do the conversion. Thanks to Michael (sorry, his
578 mail does not have a surname).
579 * cue2discid is now an internal function, so no need for including the
580 python script in the path (Closes: #378407)
581 * cddb-tool.1 typo (Thanks to A. Costa) (Closes: #351775)
582 * abcde.1 typo (Thanks to David L. Anselmi) (Closes: #364978)
583 * Set proper nice values to not separate encoding and reading in the pipes
584 situation, while having a high priority process running in the system.
585 Also, set proper nice values to tagging tasks. Reading should remain as
586 the default higher priority task in the abcde flow (Closes: #359156)
587 * Standards bumped to 3.7.2.1, no changes needed.

593 * Repaired multiple CDDB entries when recursive search is active.
594 * Patch from A. Costa to clean some typos (Closes: #351774).
596 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 07 Feb 2006 23:48:00 +0200
600 * Repaired multiple output encoding (Closes: #351362).
601 * Added missing space on a [] test statement.
602 * Added "default" action, so that one can add things on top of what we do
603 regularly, without having to list everything: "-a default,playlist" works.
604 * Restored all the > /dev/null instead of using grep -q, since it is not
606 * Added Solaris OS entry, in case we need to define things for it.
608 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 05 Feb 2006 15:24:00 +0200
612 * The "Mao es nuestro indiscutible lider" release.
613 * Check the CDROMREADER options we have in Debian which we depend on. Thanks
614 to Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo for finding the error.
615 * New recursive option for local CDDB repositories, to cope with other
616 players saving the entries.
617 * Brand new CD backup procedure: rip a CD into a single FLAC trac with an
618 embedded cuesheet using "-1 -M -o flac" and proceed to rip your tracks
619 from the obtained file using "-d file.flac -o <format>". It needs
620 cue2discid script from the examples directory to work. OH! If you manage
621 to get it working with bash, we can get rid of the python dependency...
622 * Initial steps to make abcde working with musicbrainz, although it is not
624 * Added a missing $ in a variable (Closes: #345629).
625 * Added -p to the mkdir's for $ABCDETEMPDIR (Closes: #345630).
626 * Added iconv + converted to utf-8 the charset of a ready-to-send CDDB
627 entry (Closes: #345708).
628 * Added AAC (Mpeg4) support.
629 * Small cd-discid update.
631 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 19 Jan 2006 23:27:40 +0200
635 * Missing bits in the 2.3.99.1 changelog:
636 - Man page: added information about -z (Debug option).
637 - Corrected config file with the BATCHNORM/NOGAP split
639 - Uses /bin/bash for the time being... We need to get some substitution
640 functions/operations for the bashisms we have: Closes: #337139.
641 * Config bits with corrected typos
642 * Adding musicbrainz support. First bits.
643 * Reworked comparison for numerical answer when selecting a CDDB output.
646 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Mon, 12 Dec 2005 23:46:58 +0200
650 * Both -z and -C unset EJECTCD to avoid ejecting the CD when a) we are
651 debuging and b) we are not using the CD.
652 * If we are not reading the CD, set "loud" to see all the output messages
653 (that is, in most of the cases, the first encoding).
654 * Added -f to force some events that otherwise would erase files from our
655 current run. In the standard configuration ("OUTPUT=vorbis") the following
656 actions will need a "-f" to force the last one:
657 abcde -a read,encode -o ogg,flac
658 abcde -a tag,move,clean
659 During the second run abcde should complain that it is trying to erase the
660 working directory while the it has not performed any action on the FLAC
661 files, which we encoded previously.
662 * Convert the old cdparanoia-audio-tracks file into a status entry to avoid
663 eating files from previous rounds using an early version (Closes: #341050)
665 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 29 Nov 2005 23:27:20 +0200
669 * Added diff choice to CDDB entries ("1,4").
670 * Added SHOWCDDBFIELDS to allow the user to show YEAR and GENRE in the
672 * Suggests mkcue, and erase old cdgrab info since sarge is out.
673 * Changed cdparanoia-audio-tracks to use the status file to save the data.
674 * Added the possibility of using a singletrack flac file with an embedded
675 cuesheet as a source of tracks.
676 * Added -z for easy and quick debug.
677 * BATCH has been split into two options: BATCHNORM which allows, by using
678 -b, to use the -a normalize in all the files at once, and NOGAP, that by
679 using -g, introduces the lame's --nogap extension.
680 * Added replygain using the appropriate tags with Ogg/Vorbis and Ogg/FLAC.
681 * Replaygain is an action, not a flag, since it can be performed individually
682 in the chain of events.
683 * debian/{rules,control}:
684 - Changed the target directory from tmp to abcde, to accommodate to compat
686 - Bump standards to 3.6.2.1. No changes needed.
687 * Added "decho" as a DEBUG output for some specific debug variables.
688 * Added USEPIPES file, with information about how to add Unix pipes support.
689 * Added one more checking for PIPES*_* unset variables (which means support
690 is not added to abcde).
691 * Added toolame as an optional MP3 encoder.

697 * Some patches from Tom Spindler <dogcow () babymeat ! com>
698 - Added some quoting to the md5sum checkings, since the variables could be
700 - NetBSD bits to use ftp instead on anything else to fetch stuff.
701 * do_playlist needs to convert the OUTPUT to the CONTAINERS to avoid ending
702 with playlists pointing to .vorbis files (Closes: #326487).
704 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 3 Sep 2005 16:50:07 +0300
708 * Rips done in a single track were getting tagged as Various. Corrected.
709 * Possibly eliminated some bashisms from using a variable as a variable
710 (Closes: #324399). Thanks to A Costa.
712 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 26 Aug 2005 01:36:35 +0300
716 * Too fast... I forgot to make the tarball and change the version strings in
717 several places. Fixed.
719 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 19 Aug 2005 00:44:37 +0300
723 * The new "I knew there were going to be bugs" upstream release!
724 * MKCUE needs to be passed some $CDROM as an option, or otherwise it will
725 not read the CDROM, in case is not /dev/cdrom.
726 * Also, make the CUEREADER a bit more general, since we might be using other
729 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 18 Aug 2005 23:44:20 +0300
733 * New upstream release!
734 * Defining the tracknumber now resets the first track if given a number
735 different than 1 (that is: abcde -T 1 2-10 creates songs 1 to 9).
736 * Modified the FAQ to reflect the changes on Marillat's repo
738 * Should be "space" safe: works properly when the working directory contains
739 a space (Closes: #147493).
740 * Repared the CD query for the discid code. When failing to read a disc,
741 actually report that there might be no disc in the drive.
742 * Right now, walk over the different encoders we Depends: on in Debian and
743 use the one available: if a user has a FLAC encoder, abcde will no install
744 vorbis-tools, so it will fail to run out of the box (Closes: #321216)
745 * Added CUE support. Still experimental...
746 * Added FLAC on Ogg. Still not activated, since we cannot get comments added
747 as a post-process action.
748 * Applied patches from Fedora Core (Credit goes to Nils Philippsen
749 <nphilipp@redhat.com>)
750 * Added a post_read() function to be executed before ejecting the CD.
751 * Typos reported by A Costa corrected (Closes: #311463)
752 * Problem with abcde being run in a directory with files containing only
753 numbers solved (Closes: #313628).
754 * vorbiscomment uses now "-R" (Closes: #303566).
755 * "-t" and "-T" use the first track as a starter for the track list.
757 * Added CDPARANOIACDROMBUS option to define -d in case of using IDE and SCSI
758 in case of using ide-scsi emulation layer (Closes: #290768).
759 * Define metaflac in abcde.conf (Closes: #303555)
760 * Added the default "-f" option to the configuration file, to represent the
761 actual default option.
763 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 11 Aug 2005 00:47:27 +0300
767 * Double quotation added to solve parsing * as a wildcard (Closes: #302904).
768 Thanks to Christian Grigis for the patch. Also (Closes: #268088).

774 * CDPARANOIAOUTPUT missed some quotes.
775 * Removed some useless lines.
776 * If BATCH is used with ONETRACK, disable BATCH.
777 * Small typos with CDROM comparisons.
778 * Logic for CDROM variable improved.
779 * Version bumped to 2.2.5 and targeted to Sarge.
781 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 2 Apr 2005 21:05:18 +0300
785 * Changed the way we call flac, to adapt to the new times:
786 --import-vc-from= to --import-tags-from.
787 * DOSPLAYLIST was not included in the list of options.
788 * Options passed to the encoder by using <-o ogg:"-b 192"> are now
789 supported. One can modify the way abcde encodes just for the current CD.
790 * Unfortunately I forgot to add the starting number for tags in Ogg. For
791 MP3 is a bit more difficult, since it needs changing the X/YY code.
792 * Also, the order of the tags in metaflac is important for the utf8 names.
793 Thanks to Frederik Juul Christiani (Closes: #297482)
794 * Added CDROMID in the .conf file, for reader programs that need it
796 * Added a check for cdparanoia when encountering data-only CDs.
798 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 1 Mar 2005 15:14:24 +0200
803 - suggest normalize-audio, since it changed its name (Closes: #287674).
804 * Use the default while erasing an existing playlist (Closes: #288835).
805 * Does not destroy track information when a track contains "=" in the name
808 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 22 Jan 2005 15:35:46 +0200
812 * Quotes missing when evaluating a value (Closes: #284018).
814 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 3 Dec 2004 09:20:18 +0200
818 * Spotted and solved a problem with the way the data tracks were detected
821 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Wed, 24 Nov 2004 22:47:54 +0200
825 * New release! Let's see if abcde 2.2 gets into Sarge.
826 * Added support for MPP/MP+(Musepack) encoding. Although I am trying to
827 get 2.2 for Debian Sarge release, mpc seems safe enough to introduce. See
828 corecodec.org for code.
829 * Some POSIX shell corrections (making the code more portable). Thanks to
830 Guillem Jover for pointing the problem out.
831 * CDYEAR is also passed to do_move(), so one can use it for sorting the
833 * Small MacOS X fix, allowing directories with "()" to work. Thanks to Evan
835 - On the MacOS X, I still do not know if abcde works correctly. If does
836 not, please, drop a note. Or else.
837 * DOSPLAYLIST also changes "/" with "\".
838 * DATA tracks are now excluded from the ripping process using internally
839 the cdparanoia "-Q" query option. If using another ripper, it does not
840 work (at least there is no support for them in abcde)
841 (Closes: #112692, #117412).
842 * New "0" choice for "None of the above" has been introduced. If selected, a
843 template is created and the user encouraged to edit it (Closes: #147683).
844 * New options for when the PLAYLIST already exists: erase, append or keep.
845 * Bug fixes along the code:
846 - abcde.1 corrections and additions
847 - abcde corrections and code reorganization. abcde now exits earlier if
848 some of the options are incompatible. Also the actions are set as
849 variables earlier, so we use less calls to external tools.
850 - abcde.conf additions
851 * The GENRE is munged now in its own mungegenre function, so that no more
852 upper-to-lowercase is done (forced) except if the default is used.
853 * Examples added to the tarball and /usr/share/doc/abcde/examples with two
854 scripts to make abcde kind-of-a ripper daemon.
855 * Changed to experimental to have an stable 2.1.x version in Sarge.
856 * Add CDDB information to Ogg/Vorbis and FLAC files (Closes: #265358).
857 * Added INTERACTIVE option. Set it to "n" and there you go, without user
859 * Changes normalize to normalize-audio (Closes: #267053)
860 * Copes with wav files being erased by the ripping tool.
861 * Small patch to support ()'s in the path under MacOSX. Thanks to Evan Jones
862 for noticing and sending the patch.
863 * Added -w for COMMENT seed. Used to give a comment to a given CD.
864 * Option "-t <number>" added to modify the numbering from a starting point
865 (Closes: #95828). Geez! That is low bug number...
866 * Added -T to modify also the tag entries on the songs. Currently available
867 for FLAC and Ogg/Vorbis.
868 * Removes trailing spaces (Closes: #280382).
869 * TRACKNAME now combines multi-lines from long CDDB entries.

877 * Changed normalize with normalize-audio (Closes: #267053).
879 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 20 Aug 2004 13:16:46 +0000
883 * The "Let's have a good abcde in Sarge" release.
884 * The mungefile() function changes * with + by default to avoid creating
885 directories with the start expanded to the files found in the current
886 directory. abcde2.2 will most likelly contain a better workaround.
887 * Correct default OUTPUTFORMAT in man page (Closes: #250649)
889 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 30 Jul 2004 10:16:46 +0300
893 * Encoding the whole CD in one file is now possible. Use "-1" as a flag
896 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 9 Apr 2004 17:04:58 +0000
900 * Do not release in a hurry. The eject program is not needed if CDSPEEDVALUE
901 is not set and no EJECT action is performed (Closes: #242506)
903 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 8 Apr 2004 05:18:49 +0000
907 * Dud! Those missing quotes are going to kill me. Quotes restored and
910 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Wed, 7 Apr 2004 06:30:31 +0000
914 * New setting for the CD speed. Some drives have a higher failure ratio when
915 spinning at high speed.
916 * Added a pre-read function for preparations. Uses include closing the CD
917 tray (Closes: #137548).
918 * Added COMMENT part in OggFlac metadata.
919 * Documentation update: README, abcde.1
920 * Do not tag GENRE and DATE in Ogg/Vorbis if CDDB does not provide them
922 * Solved bug with batch encoding, thanks to Travis McKay.
923 * When *DATAPREFIX was set, the playlist creation was made without newline.
924 * Added >&2 redirection to visualize the "Erase playlist" question
926 * Added the option "-m" to modify the resulting playlist, to contain CRLF at
927 the end of every line, letting some hardware players which insist with
928 DOS-style files to use them. Also, added DOSPLAYLIST as a config option.
929 * When using a selected, localy cached CDDB entry, we forgot to show the
930 selection when asking the user for editing the choice. Now we show it.
931 * Improved the logic in the order of events when using a local CDDB repo.
933 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 6 Apr 2004 05:29:38 +0000
937 * EDITOR is called now evaluating the variable, so it works with full path
939 * Patch for making md5sum a variable (since some systems use a different
941 * Correction by "huf" <mihi at mail.eol.hu>. The test code in line 376
943 * The PADDING code and some CDDB funcions were *really* messy. Now it looks
944 cleaner, works faster and some not needed network operations are no
945 longer performed when we are working with local CDDB repositories.
946 * Added "-V" for extra verbosity (on slow networks the user might be waiting
947 and wondering is something is happening).
948 * Solved a bug with the non-interactive code.
950 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Mon, 16 Feb 2004 00:13:12 +0000
954 * Missing quotes restored (Closes: #228648).
956 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 20 Jan 2004 06:43:04 +0000
960 * Solved the problem with re-runs of multiple choices not showing all the
961 choices (Closes: #228405) (this was a quick one)
962 * We now show the selected CDDB entry on a second run, instead of all of
963 them (not that one should stop abcde, but just in case). This way
964 consecutive interrupted runs obtain the same results.
966 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sun, 18 Jan 2004 22:42:15 +0000
970 * Check if normalizer is found in the PATH (Closes: #228014)
971 * Added (commented) bits to check if the CD being processed is the CD on the
972 tray, so that if differs we do not eject it.
973 * Store locally the CDDB information, under $HOME/.cddb since it is being
974 used by Grip (at least). PATH is user defined (Closes: #88048)
975 * If you are using cdda2wav and SCSI drives, you can set CDROMID for the
976 SCSI drive, since it differs from the cd-discid CDROM parameter
978 * MacOSX keeps on failing because the OS mounts the CD before we finish
979 ripping it... or something else. Please, test test test the code, and
980 report your findings. Pretty please. I have not been able to make it work
981 with the reports I have received.
983 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 16 Jan 2004 12:06:07 +0000
987 * Urgent fixes for the FreeBSD and MacOSX bits. When using cdda2wav, the
988 CDROM variable must be modified depending on the device interface. By now
989 we will not try to be very smart.
990 * Added a test for HTTPGETOPTS since it cannot be empty for the default
992 * Quick release to fix a problem with the CDROM detection code.
994 * Cleaned a bashism. Thanks to Klaus Ethgen (Closes: #226782).
995 * Rewrote some parts of the cdda2wav code. Since I do not have a machine
996 where cdda2wav works, I cannot test the code. The modifications have been

1004 * INLINETAG and STARTTRACKNUMBER flags added.
1005 * CDROM checking is now done with a bit more wiselly (Closes: #219768)
1006 * HTTPGET is only requested is "cddb" action is performed.
1007 * Workout the possibility of cdparanoia erasing our wav files
1009 * The default answer for editing CDDB data is now "y" if the disk is
1010 unknown. If not, the default is "n". Requested by Ricky Buchanan.
1011 * Now we do not erase silently any previous $PLAYLISTFILE left behind by a
1012 previous CD ripping (Closes: #220753)
1013 * Write info file with cdda2wav (Closes: #187702).
1014 I do not use cdda2wav myself (me is cd-paranoid) so if anyone using
1015 cdda2wav has a problem with this, please, report.
1016 * CDROM comes in 1,0,0 kind of format for cdda2wav ripper. Corrected with a
1017 quick patch. Kudos go to Mikhail Manuilov <viper5k at pisem dot net> for
1019 * Merged bits to make abcde work under MacOSX. Thanks to Evan Jones.
1020 * Merged bits to avoid FreeDB people anger and to cut down the "abcde." part
1021 of the discid. Now you can set the "-C" command with the directory name.
1022 Kudos go to Bart Samwel.
1023 * Added some info bits to the config file about normalize, requested by
1025 * Added some testing for the wav file before normalizing, to check that the
1026 file is actually there.

1033 * One head was missing a "-n"
1034 * Not use relative links when PLAYLISTDATAPREFIX is set (Closes: #165368)
1035 * Stupid use of $OUTPUTTYPE in flac tagging (Closes: #218625)

1044 * Quick release fixing a couple of bugs introduced by the padding patch
1046 * Control: Build-Depends-Indep: moved to Build-Depends:, as per
1047 http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-sourcebinarydeps

1054 * The "Engineer" release. Yeah! I graduated!
1055 * Patch applied to solve the track submission interface issues. Kudos to
1056 Marc HE Brockschmidt, again (Closes: #126289)
1057 * Small bug related with DISTMP3NICE solved. Kudos to Wilbert Alberts.
1059 * Padding now creates the list with padded numbers. Test patch. This should

1068 * Various Artists has now its own PLAYLIST format (Closes: #137432)
1069 * metaflac path corrected (Closes: #206110)
1070 * Hopefully this version repairs the comment part for Ogg/Vorbis files.
1071 * If nothing breaks, 2.2 will be released as soon as the KNOWNBUG is solved.
1072 * Removed all the inline tagging since it breaks the action chain, except
1073 in Ogg/Speex. Need to check if "vorbiscomment" can be used for it.
1075 * Added DISTMP3NICE variable, to nice the distmp3 program (Closes: #208398)
1077 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 4 Sep 2003 10:53:09 +0000
1081 * Small fixes and patches.
1082 + GENRE can be used for OUTPUTFORMAT and PLAYLISTFORMAT
1083 + id3v2 should work now with -c for comments (Closes: #199949)
1084 + small bug with batch encoding
1085 + Variables are exported before the CDDB functions are called, so they
1086 should use the right variables for the HTTPGET command.
1087 + Tagging also use TRACKS and CDGENRE for MP3 files (kudos to Dirk
1089 + FLAC encoding now uses dismp3 to encode remotely (kudos to Taylor and
1090 Kevin Cramer). HANDLE WITH CARE ;)
1091 Also FLAC now uses CDGENRE and CDYEAR for tagging.
1092 * tail/head change: -1 has been deprecated. Noted by Stephan Kulow.
1093 * Ogg/Speex support added, for speech encoding (Closes #204635)
1094 * Documentation update (Closes: #198825)

1105 + CDROM is now checked after reading the user defined entries.
1106 * Remove trailing args from $EDITOR when checking -x: Closes #179222.

1112 * Makefile was missing cddb-tool.1.
1113 * Introduced dagrab as CD ripping utility.
1114 * cddb-tool seq calls converted to functions. No more distro dependencies.
1115 * WGET* variables converted to HTTPGET* variables. FreeBSD can safelly use
1117 * More FreeBSD specific bits: CDROM and EJECT changes.
1118 * Typo in abcde.conf
1119 * Added CDDBPROTO for specifying the protocol level of the cddb query.
1120 * CDDB protocol upgraded to 5. CDYEAR and CDGENRE are now used for CD

1129 * Documentation updates: Closes: #186230.
1130 * Usual set of bug fixes and corrections.
1131 * Default behaviour of VAOUTPUTFORMAT output changed to avoid multiple
1132 directories for a same album. I think the format is more logical, and you
1133 can always split the files once they are created.
1134 * Padding track wavs with 0 so if you want to burn those wavs just cdrecord
1135 *.wav will do it. Use "-p" to force it when encoding a small (<9) number
1136 of files (Closes: #111627).
1137 * Added "KEEPWAVS" as a variable to keep those wavs. Default is "no". Can
1138 use also "-k" in the command line. (Closes: #160372).
1139 This probably should be changed with an option to move the wav files to
1140 another directory instead of just keep de abcde.<cdid> directory.
1141 * Added documentation comments about OUTPUTTYPE (Closes: #184963).
1142 * abcde.conf cleanup: (Closes: #186230, #187400).

1154 * Since abcde does not depend on eject, an execution test ([-x]) was added,
1155 but that means abcde needs a test for eject in the patch if -x is passed:
1157 * Merged some more bits from Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt: Closes: #126289.
1158 * A bit of more info in abcde.conf: Closes: #184963.

1538 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 7 Nov 1999
1542 * New name. A Better CD Encoder. cdgrab was already taken - the original
1543 cdgrab name belongs to a CDDA reading program for DOS dating back to
1544 1993. It's still in use and active development, so I'm changing the
1545 name of cdgrab instead. See this URL for a description of the original
1546 cdgrab: http://www.scn.rain.com/pub/cdrom/cdgrab.txt
1548 Your old /etc/cdgrab.conf and/or ~/.cdgrab.conf can simply be
1549 renamed to /etc/abcde.conf and ~/.abcde.conf.

1567 * Added cddb-tool manpage
1569 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 10 Oct 1999
1573 * Cleared up some bashisms from the patches merged in 0.8
1575 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 19 Sep 1999
1579 * Fixed a bug where if multiple tracks (but not the entire CD) was
1580 specificed explicitly, cdgrab would loop forever after the first track
1581 * Now uses Debian's sensible-editor wrapper if available
1582 * Merged in patches from Nathaniel J Smith that puts cddb lookup
1583 functionality in a separate script, cddb-tool
1584 * Adds WAVOUTPUTDIR environment variable for those running out of space in
1587 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 26 Aug 1999
1591 * Yet another quick fix to finish what 0.7.6 started - cdgrab should now
1592 handle multiple inexact matches as well. (Thanks again to Robert Macaulay)
1594 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 12 Aug 1999
1598 * Another quick bugfix release - hopefully this will handle inexact matches
1599 properly now. (Thank you Robert Macaulay :)
1601 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 9 Aug 1999
1605 * Quick bugfix release - with any luck I can start on 0.8 soon :)
1606 * **** YOU WILL NEED TO EDIT CDGRAB.CONF **** if you use lame as
1607 /usr/bin/lamer. The default program name is now 'lame' as of lame v3.0.
1608 If you don't want to touch your lame installation, put the following in
1609 your cdgrab.conf: "LAME=lamer"
1610 * Omits -w from cdparanoia commands
1611 * Depends on cdparanoia-bin or cdparanoia now - this accommodates the recent
1612 cdparanoia package namechange.
1613 * Fixed a stealth-whitespace typo at line 495. Thanks go to Gregory T.
1614 Norris for tracking this down.
1616 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 13 Jul 1999
1620 * Now only uses the first match from a CDDB datafile for the track
1621 information, this works around a cddb glitch some of you may have
1623 * Default config file now gets version number from program.
1624 * added 'debug' option to CDROMREADERSYNTAX to get cdparanoia to only rip
1625 the first 5 seconds of a track. This is very useful to those debugging
1626 cdgrab, makes things go much faster. This will also prevent me releasing
1628 * Now puts options last on the encoder command line if you are using
1629 bladeenc or l3enc, this should allow the proper use of these encoders
1630 with additional commandline options (thanks to Justin Hugh Daly for
1632 * m3u PLAYLIST SUPPORT! Check out the new -p and -P options!
1634 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 7 Jun 1999
1638 * Fixes wget calling method
1639 * -l/LOWDISK documented
1640 * Fixes the lowdisk #2 option so it exits cleanly
1641 * Lets you enter track info for CDs without CDDB matches now
1643 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 23 May 1999
1647 * Woops, left some debugging code in 0.7.1 - if you have truckloads of 80kb
1650 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 16 May 1999
1654 * LOWDISK/-l option added for those who don't have the disk space to run a
1655 parallelized session.
1656 * MAXPROCS added to config file
1657 * CDDB handling revisited - cdgrab should now properly handle CD's with
1658 multiple or inexact CDDB entries.
1660 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 14 May 1999
1664 * Parallelizes ripping and encoding - this may take substantially more disk
1665 space temporarily (up to 500MB or so depending on how fast your CPU is
1666 compared to your cdrom drive) but cdgrab will be done with your CD
1668 * Allows for SMP optimizations (multiple encoders running at once) with the
1670 * Output fix for TOC printing
1671 * cd-discid split off into it's own package
1673 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 7 May 1999
1677 * Fixes encoder and cdrom reader option-passing bug
1679 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 4 Apr 1999
1683 * Adds the -H option (don't create .inf files) when calling cdda2wav
1684 * Removed a bashism from the usage function
1686 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 29 Mar 1999
1690 * Tacks a .wav extension to the wave data temporary file to make bladeenc
1692 * Munges /'s to _'s now instead of eating them
1693 * Adds command-line option configuration options for backend programs
1694 * Properly zero-pads the TRACKNUM variable
1696 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 28 Mar 1999
1700 * Added support for inexact or multiple CDDB matches
1701 * Properly bombs out if CDDB can't come up with a match
1702 (without CDDB, you might as well use cdparanoia -B)
1704 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 18 Mar 1999
1708 * Added ALBUMFILE, fixed manpage reference to it
1709 * Deletes editor backups from 'cdgrab -e' automagically
1710 (I wish mutt did this :)
1711 * Bombs out if there's no CD in the drive
1712 * Bombs out if any necessary external programs don't exist
1713 * Encourages people to use brackets for OUTPUTFORMAT variables to
1714 handle formats like Artist/TrackName_Number.mp3
1716 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 16 Mar 1999
1720 * Fixed one thinko in user preferences loading and another in the tagger
1721 * New option syntax - if you used to specify a cdrom device through the
1722 command line, use 'cdgrab -d device' now to get the same result.
1723 * Allows you to edit CDDB response data before using it (-e)
1724 * Added support for getting a user-specified selection of tracks
1725 * Added support for user-specified output file formats
