64 -- Colin Tuckley <colint@debian.org> Sun, 02 Aug 2009 13:32:30 +0100
70 * The "It took me a long time to get this release out" release.
71 * abcde.1: remove -M in favour of "-a cue" (Closes: #382614, #396505).
72 * Added a check for a DOCUE already set in the command line
74 * Added -q <Q> as a quality option.
75 * PREGAP was not set in some situations (Closes: #390170).
76 * Added -nv to wget for "no verbose" output, to avoid wget complaining it
77 cannot be quiet and verbose at the same time if "verbose = on" is set in
78 ~/.wgetrc (Closes: #388715).
79 * Added XS-Vcs-Svn: field to control file.
80 * Added some hints if we are using Debian for what packages need to be

87 * Corrected man page wrapping. Thanks to Edward J. Shornock
89 * Adds DISCNUMBER to Ogg/Vorbis and FLAC when using -W.
90 * Minor typos (Closes: #458995).
91 * Added AtomicParley for AAC encoding. Thanks to Bill Adams.
92 * Added by Marc Staveley:
94 - track comments if null and present in CDDB.
95 * Corrected copyright information (Closes: #516535).
98 * Added new uploader (Closes: #529695).

111 * Default to UNICODE (UTF8) tags and comments (Closes: #282332).
112 - Added CDDBPROTO option in config file (Closes: #349951)
113 * Added a missing "INDEX 01" entry for CUE sheet creation.
114 * Avoid completing the encoding of files if we aborted previously.
115 * Embed the CUE sheet if we have a cuesheet file and we have a single FLAC
116 file, even if we are not tagging. This way we can use the file as a source
117 even if it is not tagged/named properly.
118 * Fails to quote filenames properly (Closes: #355296)
119 * Introduced VA/ONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT.
120 * Added a missing check for AACENCODER.
121 * Updated config file with some new AAC bits.
122 * Updated FSF address.
123 * Corrected NetBSD options for ftp (Thanks to Marius).
124 * The final 2.4 will have "cuefile" as an action instead of as a flag.
125 * Create the cuefile when extracting from a FLAC file.
126 * Small bugs (Charles Steinkuehler):
127 - Added missing quotes (Closes: #375710)
128 - toolame is included in Debian as default MP3 encoder
129 - Use IFS to preserve spaces when adding metadata to a cuefile
130 * Small documentation changes:
131 - abcde.1 (Closes: #364978)
132 * The following entries have in common that both add an internal cue2discid
133 function. I will evaluate which one is more accurate and decide which one
134 to use. Right now they are not conflicting:
135 - Added internal mkcue and cue2discid functions (Charles Steinkuehler) and
136 add a check for internal abcde.<function> to make sure we are using the
137 correct version (not sure if needed ;)
138 - Added an internal implementation of cue2discid, so there is no need for
139 an external program to do the conversion. Thanks to Michael (sorry, his
140 mail does not have a surname).
141 * cue2discid is now an internal function, so no need for including the
142 python script in the path (Closes: #378407)
143 * cddb-tool.1 typo (Thanks to A. Costa) (Closes: #351775)
144 * abcde.1 typo (Thanks to David L. Anselmi) (Closes: #364978)
145 * Set proper nice values to not separate encoding and reading in the pipes
146 situation, while having a high priority process running in the system.
147 Also, set proper nice values to tagging tasks. Reading should remain as
148 the default higher priority task in the abcde flow (Closes: #359156)
149 * Standards bumped to 3.7.2.1, no changes needed.
151 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 5 Aug 2006 05:26:56 +0300
155 * Repaired multiple CDDB entries when recursive search is active.
156 * Patch from A. Costa to clean some typos (Closes: #351774).
158 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 07 Feb 2006 23:48:00 +0200
162 * Repaired multiple output encoding (Closes: #351362).
163 * Added missing space on a [] test statement.
164 * Added "default" action, so that one can add things on top of what we do
165 regularly, without having to list everything: "-a default,playlist" works.
166 * Restored all the > /dev/null instead of using grep -q, since it is not
168 * Added Solaris OS entry, in case we need to define things for it.
170 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 05 Feb 2006 15:24:00 +0200
174 * The "Mao es nuestro indiscutible lider" release.
175 * Check the CDROMREADER options we have in Debian which we depend on. Thanks
176 to Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo for finding the error.
177 * New recursive option for local CDDB repositories, to cope with other
178 players saving the entries.
179 * Brand new CD backup procedure: rip a CD into a single FLAC trac with an
180 embedded cuesheet using "-1 -M -o flac" and proceed to rip your tracks
181 from the obtained file using "-d file.flac -o <format>". It needs
182 cue2discid script from the examples directory to work. OH! If you manage
183 to get it working with bash, we can get rid of the python dependency...
184 * Initial steps to make abcde working with musicbrainz, although it is not
186 * Added a missing $ in a variable (Closes: #345629).
187 * Added -p to the mkdir's for $ABCDETEMPDIR (Closes: #345630).
188 * Added iconv + converted to utf-8 the charset of a ready-to-send CDDB
189 entry (Closes: #345708).
190 * Added AAC (Mpeg4) support.
191 * Small cd-discid update.
193 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 19 Jan 2006 23:27:40 +0200
197 * Missing bits in the 2.3.99.1 changelog:
198 - Man page: added information about -z (Debug option).
199 - Corrected config file with the BATCHNORM/NOGAP split
201 - Uses /bin/bash for the time being... We need to get some substitution
202 functions/operations for the bashisms we have: Closes: #337139.
203 * Config bits with corrected typos
204 * Adding musicbrainz support. First bits.
205 * Reworked comparison for numerical answer when selecting a CDDB output.
208 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Mon, 12 Dec 2005 23:46:58 +0200
212 * Both -z and -C unset EJECTCD to avoid ejecting the CD when a) we are
213 debuging and b) we are not using the CD.
214 * If we are not reading the CD, set "loud" to see all the output messages
215 (that is, in most of the cases, the first encoding).
216 * Added -f to force some events that otherwise would erase files from our
217 current run. In the standard configuration ("OUTPUT=vorbis") the following
218 actions will need a "-f" to force the last one:
219 abcde -a read,encode -o ogg,flac
220 abcde -a tag,move,clean
221 During the second run abcde should complain that it is trying to erase the
222 working directory while the it has not performed any action on the FLAC
223 files, which we encoded previously.
224 * Convert the old cdparanoia-audio-tracks file into a status entry to avoid
225 eating files from previous rounds using an early version (Closes: #341050)
227 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 29 Nov 2005 23:27:20 +0200
231 * Added diff choice to CDDB entries ("1,4").
232 * Added SHOWCDDBFIELDS to allow the user to show YEAR and GENRE in the
234 * Suggests mkcue, and erase old cdgrab info since sarge is out.
235 * Changed cdparanoia-audio-tracks to use the status file to save the data.
236 * Added the possibility of using a singletrack flac file with an embeded
237 cuesheet as a source of tracks.
238 * Added -z for easy and quick debug.
239 * BATCH has been split into two options: BATCHNORM which allows, by using
240 -b, to use the -a normalize in all the files at once, and NOGAP, that by
241 using -g, introduces the lame's --nogap extension.
242 * Added replygain using the appropiate tags with Ogg/Vorbis and Ogg/FLAC.
243 * Replaygain is an action, not a flag, since it can be performed individualy
244 in the chain of events.
245 * debian/{rules,control}:
246 - Changed the target directory from tmp to abcde, to accomodate to compat
248 - Bump standards to 3.6.2.1. No changes needed.
249 * Added "decho" as a DEBUG output for some specific debug variables.
250 * Added USEPIPES file, with information about how to add Unix pipes support.
251 * Added one more checking for PIPES*_* unset variables (which means support
252 is not added to abcde).
253 * Added toolame as an optional MP3 encoder.
255 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 8 Oct 2005 17:05:32 +0300
259 * Some patches from Tom Spindler <dogcow () babymeat ! com>
260 - Added some quoting to the md5sum checkings, since the variables could be
262 - NetBSD bits to use ftp instead on anything else to fetch stuff.
263 * do_playlist needs to convert the OUTPUT to the CONTAINERS to avoid ending
264 with playlists pointing to .vorbis files (Closes: #326487).
266 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 3 Sep 2005 16:50:07 +0300
270 * Rips done in a single track were getting tagged as Various. Corrected.
271 * Possibly eliminated some bashisms from using a variable as a variable
272 (Closes: #324399). Thanks to A Costa.
274 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 26 Aug 2005 01:36:35 +0300
278 * Too fast... I forgot to make the tarball and change the version strings in
279 several places. Fixed.
281 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 19 Aug 2005 00:44:37 +0300
285 * The new "I knew there were going to be bugs" upstream release!
286 * MKCUE needs to be passed some $CDROM as an option, or otherwise it will
287 not read the CDROM, in case is not /dev/cdrom.
288 * Also, make the CUEREADER a bit more general, since we might be using other
291 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 18 Aug 2005 23:44:20 +0300
295 * New upstream release!
296 * Defining the tracknumber now resets the first track if given a number
297 different than 1 (that is: abcde -T 1 2-10 creates songs 1 to 9).
298 * Modified the FAQ to reflect the changes on Marillat's repo
300 * Should be "space" safe: works properly when the working directory contains
301 a space (Closes: #147493).
302 * Repared the CD query for the discid code. When failing to read a disc,
303 actually report that there might be no disc in the drive.
304 * Right now, walk over the different encoders we Depends: on in Debian and
305 use the one available: if a user has a FLAC encoder, abcde will no install
306 vorbis-tools, so it will fail to run out of the box (Closes: #321216)
307 * Added CUE support. Still experimental...
308 * Added FLAC on Ogg. Still not activated, since we cannot get comments added
309 as a post-process action.
310 * Applied patches from Fedora Core (Credit goes to Nils Philippsen
311 <nphilipp@redhat.com>)
312 * Added a post_read() function to be executed before ejecting the CD.
313 * Typos reported by A Costa corrected (Closes: #311463)
314 * Problem with abcde being run in a directory with files containing only
315 numbers solved (Closes: #313628).
316 * vorbiscomment uses now "-R" (Closes: #303566).
317 * "-t" and "-T" use the first track as a starter for the track list.
319 * Added CDPARANOIACDROMBUS option to define -d in case of using IDE and SCSI
320 in case of using ide-scsi emulation layer (Closes: #290768).
321 * Define metaflac in abcde.conf (Closes: #303555)
322 * Added the default "-f" option to the configuration file, to represent the
323 actual default option.
325 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 11 Aug 2005 00:47:27 +0300
329 * Double quotation added to solve parsing * as a wildcard (Closes: #302904).
330 Thanks to Christian Grigis for the patch. Also (Closes: #268088).
332 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sun, 3 Apr 2005 18:18:03 +0000
336 * CDPARANOIAOUTPUT missed some quotes.
337 * Removed some useless lines.
338 * If BATCH is used with ONETRACK, disable BATCH.
339 * Small typos with CDROM comparisons.
340 * Logic for CDROM variable improved.
341 * Version bumped to 2.2.5 and targeted to Sarge.
343 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 2 Apr 2005 21:05:18 +0300
347 * Changed the way we call flac, to adapt to the new times:
348 --import-vc-from= to --import-tags-from.
349 * DOSPLAYLIST was not included in the list of options.
350 * Options passed to the encoder by using <-o ogg:"-b 192"> are now
351 supported. One can modify the way abcde encodes just for the current CD.
352 * Unfortunatelly I forgot to add the starting number for tags in Ogg. For
353 MP3 is a bit more difficult, since it needs changing the X/YY code.
354 * Also, the order of the tags in metaflac is important for the utf8 names.
355 Thanks to Frederik Juul Christiani (Closes: #297482)
356 * Added CDROMID in the .conf file, for reader programs that need it
358 * Added a check for cdparanoia when encountering data-only CDs.
360 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 1 Mar 2005 15:14:24 +0200
365 - suggest normalize-audio, since it changed its name (Closes: #287674).
366 * Use the default while erasing an existing playlist (Closes: #288835).
367 * Does not destroy track information when a track contains "=" in the name
370 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 22 Jan 2005 15:35:46 +0200
374 * Quotes missing when evaluating a value (Closes: #284018).
376 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 3 Dec 2004 09:20:18 +0200
380 * Spotted and solved a problem with the way the data tracks were detected
383 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Wed, 24 Nov 2004 22:47:54 +0200
387 * New release! Let's see if abcde 2.2 gets into Sarge.
388 * Added support for MPP/MP+(Musepack) encoding. Although I am trying to
389 get 2.2 for Debian Sarge release, mpc seems safe enough to introduce. See
390 corecodec.org for code.
391 * Some POSIX shell corrections (making the code more portable). Thanks to
392 Guillem Jover for pointing the problem out.
393 * CDYEAR is also passed to do_move(), so one can use it for sorting the
395 * Small MacOS X fix, allowing directories with "()" to work. Thanks to Evan
397 - On the MacOS X, I still do not know if abcde works correctly. If does
398 not, please, drop a note. Or else.
399 * DOSPLAYLIST also changes "/" with "\".
400 * DATA tracks are now excluded from the ripping process using internally
401 the cdparanoia "-Q" query option. If using another ripper, it does not
402 work (at least there is no support for them in abcde)
403 (Closes: #112692, #117412).
404 * New "0" choice for "None of the above" has been introduced. If selected, a
405 template is created and the user encouraged to edit it (Closes: #147683).
406 * New options for when the PLAYLIST already exists: erase, append or keep.
407 * Bug fixes along the code:
408 - abcde.1 corrections and additions
409 - abcde corrections and code reorganization. abcde now exits earlier if
410 some of the options are incompatible. Also the actions are set as
411 variables earlier, so we use less calls to external tools.
412 - abcde.conf additions
413 * The GENRE is munged now in its own mungegenre function, so that no more
414 upper-to-lowercase is done (forced) except if the default is used.
415 * Examples added to the tarball and /usr/share/doc/abcde/examples with two
416 scripts to make abcde kind-of-a ripper daemon.
417 * Changed to experimental to have an stable 2.1.x version in Sarge.
418 * Add CDDB information to Ogg/Vorbis and FLAC files (Closes: #265358).
419 * Added INTERACTIVE option. Set it to "n" and there you go, without user
421 * Changes normalize to normalize-audio (Closes: #267053)
422 * Copes with wav files being erased by the ripping tool.
423 * Small patch to support ()'s in the path under MacOSX. Thanks to Evan Jones
424 for noticing and sending the patch.
425 * Added -w for COMMENT seed. Used to give a comment to a given CD.
426 * Option "-t <number>" added to modify the numbering from a starting point
427 (Closes: #95828). Geez! That is low bug number...
428 * Added -T to modify also the tag entries on the songs. Currently available
429 for FLAC and Ogg/Vorbis.
430 * Removes trailing spaces (Closes: #280382).
431 * TRACKNAME now combines multi-lines from long CDDB entries.

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

462 * Do not release in a hurry. The eject program is not needed if CDSPEEDVALUE
463 is not set and no EJECT action is performed (Closes: #242506)

476 * New setting for the CD speed. Some drives have a higher failure ratio when
477 spinning at high speed.
478 * Added a pre-read function for preparations. Uses include closing the CD
479 tray (Closes: #137548).
480 * Added COMMENT part in OggFlac metadata.
481 * Documentation update: README, abcde.1
482 * Do not tag GENRE and DATE in Ogg/Vorbis if CDDB does not provide them
484 * Solved bug with batch encoding, thanks to Travis McKay.
485 * When *DATAPREFIX was set, the playlist creation was made without newline.
486 * Added >&2 redirection to visualize the "Erase playlist" question
488 * Added the option "-m" to modify the resulting playlist, to contain CRLF at
489 the end of every line, letting some hardware players which insist with
490 DOS-style files to use them. Also, added DOSPLAYLIST as a config option.
491 * When using a selected, localy cached CDDB entry, we forgot to show the
492 selection when asking the user for editing the choice. Now we show it.
493 * Improved the logic in the order of events when using a local CDDB repo.
495 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 6 Apr 2004 05:29:38 +0000
499 * EDITOR is called now evaluating the variable, so it works with full path
501 * Patch for making md5sum a variable (since some systems use a different
503 * Correction by "huf" <mihi at mail.eol.hu>. The test code in line 376
505 * The PADDING code and some CDDB funcions were *really* messy. Now it looks
506 cleaner, works faster and some not needed network operations are no
507 longer performed when we are working with local CDDB repositories.
508 * Added "-V" for extra verbosity (on slow networks the user might be waiting
509 and wondering is somethins is happening).
510 * Solved a bug with the non-interactive code.

516 * Missing quotes restored (Closes: #228648).
518 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 20 Jan 2004 06:43:04 +0000
522 * Solved the problem with re-runs of multiple choices not showing all the
523 choices (Closes: #228405) (this was a quick one)
524 * We now show the selected CDDB entry on a second run, instead of all of
525 them (not that one should stop abcde, but just in case). This way
526 consecutive interrupted runs obtain the same results.
528 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sun, 18 Jan 2004 22:42:15 +0000
532 * Check if normalizer is found in the PATH (Closes: #228014)
533 * Added (commented) bits to check if the CD being processed is the CD on the
534 tray, so that if differs we do not eject it.
535 * Store locally the CDDB information, under $HOME/.cddb since it is being
536 used by Grip (at least). PATH is user defined (Closes: #88048)
537 * If you are using cdda2wav and SCSI drives, you can set CDROMID for the
538 SCSI drive, since it differs from the cd-discid CDROM parameter
540 * MacOSX keeps on failing because the OS mounts the CD before we finish
541 ripping it... or something else. Please, test test test the code, and
542 report your findings. Pretty please. I have not been able to make it work
543 with the reports I have received.
545 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 16 Jan 2004 12:06:07 +0000
549 * Urgent fixes for the FreeBSD and MacOSX bits. When using cdda2wav, the
550 CDROM variable must be modified depending on the device interface. By now
551 we will not try to be very smart.
552 * Added a test for HTTPGETOPTS since it cannot be empty for the default
554 * Quick release to fix a problem with the CDROM detection code.
556 * Cleaned a bashism. Thanks to Klaus Ethgen (Closes: #226782).
557 * Rewrote some parts of the cdda2wav code. Since I do not have a machine
558 where cdda2wav works, I cannot test the code. The modifications have been
559 done following user reports. If you use cdda2wav and abcde does not work
560 for you, please, contact me and we will try to sort things out. Thanks.
562 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 8 Jan 2004 21:36:23 +0000
566 * INLINETAG and STARTTRACKNUMBER flags added.
567 * CDROM checking is now done with a bit more wiselly (Closes: #219768)
568 * HTTPGET is only requested is "cddb" action is performed.
569 * Workout the possibility of cdparanoia erasing our wav files
571 * The default answer for editing CDDB data is now "y" if the disk is
572 unknown. If not, the default is "n". Requested by Ricky Buchanan.
573 * Now we do not erase silently any previous $PLAYLISTFILE left behind by a
574 previous CD ripping (Closes: #220753)
575 * Write info file with cdda2wav (Closes: #187702).
576 I do not use cdda2wav myself (me is cd-paranoid) so if anyone using
577 cdda2wav has a problem with this, please, report.
578 * CDROM comes in 1,0,0 kind of format for cdda2wav ripper. Corrected with a
579 quick patch. Kudos go to Mikhail Manuilov <viper5k at pisem dot net> for
581 * Merged bits to make abcde work under MacOSX. Thanks to Evan Jones.
582 * Merged bits to avoid FreeDB people anger and to cut down the "abcde." part
583 of the discid. Now you can set the "-C" command with the directory name.
584 Kudos go to Bart Samwel.
585 * Added some info bits to the config file about normalize, requested by
587 * Added some testing for the wav file before normalizing, to check that the
588 file is actually there.

597 * Stupid use of $OUTPUTTYPE in flac tagging (Closes: #218625)
599 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sun, 2 Nov 2003 09:05:17 +0000
603 * Small typo corrected (Closes: #217149)
604 * KEEPWAVS now sets the "clean" action to "no", so the wavs are kept.
606 * Quick release fixing a couple of bugs introduced by the padding patch
608 * Control: Build-Depends-Indep: moved to Build-Depends:, as per
609 http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-sourcebinarydeps

617 * Patch applied to solve the track submission interface issues. Kudos to
618 Marc HE Brockschmidt, again (Closes: #126289)
619 * Small bug related with DISTMP3NICE solved. Kudos to Wilbert Alberts.
621 * Padding now creates the list with padded numbers. Test patch. This should
622 solve the problem with delayed tagging a single file.
624 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 13 Oct 2003 09:50:09 +0000
628 * Removed a nasty bug where even if the encode failed, the track was marked
629 as successfully encoded (Closes: #208391)
630 * Various Artists has now its own PLAYLIST format (Closes: #137432)
631 * metaflac path corrected (Closes: #206110)
632 * Hopefully this version repairs the comment part for Ogg/Vorbis files.
633 * If nothing breaks, 2.2 will be released as soon as the KNOWNBUG is solved.
634 * Removed all the inline tagging since it breaks the action chain, except
635 in Ogg/Speex. Need to check if "vorbiscomment" can be used for it.
637 * Added DISTMP3NICE variable, to nice the distmp3 program (Closes: #208398)
639 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 4 Sep 2003 10:53:09 +0000
643 * Small fixes and patches.
644 + GENRE can be used for OUTPUTFORMAT and PLAYLISTFORMAT
645 + id3v2 should work now with -c for comments (Closes: #199949)
646 + small bug with batch encoding
647 + Variables are exported before the CDDB functions are called, so they
648 should use the right variables for the HTTPGET command.
649 + Tagging also use TRACKS and CDGENRE for MP3 files (kudos to Dirk
651 + FLAC encoding now uses dismp3 to encode remotelly (kudos to Taylor and
652 Kevin Cramer). HANDLE WITH CARE ;)
653 Also FLAC now uses CDGENRE and CDYEAR for tagging.
654 * tail/head change: -1 has been deprecated. Noted by Stephan Kulow.
655 * Ogg/Speex support added, for speech encoding (Closes #204635)
656 * Documentation update (Closes: #198825)
657 * Patch for "=" in the name applied (Closes: #197199)

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

691 * Documentation updates: Closes: #186230.
692 * Usual set of bug fixes and corrections.
693 * Default behaviour of VAOUTPUTFORMAT output changed to avoid multiple
694 directories for a same album. I think the format is more logical, and you
695 can always split the files once they are created.
696 * Padding track wavs with 0 so if you want to burn those wavs just cdrecord
697 *.wav will do it. Use "-p" to force it when encoding a small (<9) number
698 of files (Closes: #111627).
699 * Added "KEEPWAVS" as a variable to keep those wavs. Default is "no". Can
700 use also "-k" in the command line. (Closes: #160372).
701 This probably should be changed with an option to move the wav files to
702 another directory instead of just keep de abcde.<cdid> directory.
703 * Added documentation comments about OUTPUTTYPE (Closes: #184963).
704 * abcde.conf cleanup: (Closes: #186230, #187400).

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

1087 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 16 Nov 1999
1091 * Removed bashisms (again :)
1093 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 14 Nov 1999
1097 * Fixed some output issues regarding background encoding that cropped up in
1100 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 7 Nov 1999
1104 * New name. A Better CD Encoder. cdgrab was already taken - the original
1105 cdgrab name belongs to a CDDA reading program for DOS dating back to
1106 1993. It's still in use and active development, so I'm changing the
1107 name of cdgrab instead. See this URL for a description of the original
1108 cdgrab: http://www.scn.rain.com/pub/cdrom/cdgrab.txt
1110 Your old /etc/cdgrab.conf and/or ~/.cdgrab.conf can simply be
1111 renamed to /etc/abcde.conf and ~/.abcde.conf.
1113 The program name is now 'abcde'.
1115 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 2 Nov 1999
1119 * cdgrab 0.7 through 0.8.2 would leave around cdgrab.xxxxxx
1120 tempfiles with -j. Fixed that.
1121 * Fixed quoting issues regarding spaces in output files
1123 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 28 Oct 1999
1127 * Supports the 'gogo' mp3 encoder
1128 * cddb-tool escapes double quotes when sourcing its temp files
1129 * Added cddb-tool manpage
1131 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 10 Oct 1999
1135 * Cleared up some bashisms from the patches merged in 0.8
1137 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 19 Sep 1999
1141 * Fixed a bug where if multiple tracks (but not the entire CD) was
1142 specificed explicitly, cdgrab would loop forever after the first track
1143 * Now uses Debian's sensible-editor wrapper if available
1144 * Merged in patches from Nathaniel J Smith that puts cddb lookup
1145 functionality in a separate script, cddb-tool
1146 * Adds WAVOUTPUTDIR environment variable for those running out of space in
1149 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 26 Aug 1999
1153 * Yet another quick fix to finish what 0.7.6 started - cdgrab should now
1154 handle multiple inexact matches as well. (Thanks again to Robert Macaulay)
1156 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 12 Aug 1999
1160 * Another quick bugfix release - hopefully this will handle inexact matches
1161 properly now. (Thank you Robert Macaulay :)
1163 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 9 Aug 1999
1167 * Quick bugfix release - with any luck I can start on 0.8 soon :)
1168 * **** YOU WILL NEED TO EDIT CDGRAB.CONF **** if you use lame as
1169 /usr/bin/lamer. The default program name is now 'lame' as of lame v3.0.
1170 If you don't want to touch your lame installation, put the following in
1171 your cdgrab.conf: "LAME=lamer"
1172 * Omits -w from cdparanoia commands
1173 * Depends on cdparanoia-bin or cdparanoia now - this accomodates the recent
1174 cdparanoia package namechange.
1175 * Fixed a stealth-whitespace typo at line 495. Thanks go to Gregory T.
1176 Norris for tracking this down.
1178 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 13 Jul 1999
1182 * Now only uses the first match from a CDDB datafile for the track
1183 information, this works around a cddb glitch some of you may have
1185 * Default config file now gets version number from program.
1186 * added 'debug' option to CDROMREADERSYNTAX to get cdparanoia to only rip
1187 the first 5 seconds of a track. This is very useful to those debugging
1188 cdgrab, makes things go much faster. This will also prevent me releasing
1190 * Now puts options last on the encoder command line if you are using
1191 bladeenc or l3enc, this should allow the proper use of these encoders
1192 with additional commandline options (thanks to Justin Hugh Daly for
1194 * m3u PLAYLIST SUPPORT! Check out the new -p and -P options!
1196 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 7 Jun 1999
1200 * Fixes wget calling method
1201 * -l/LOWDISK documented
1202 * Fixes the lowdisk #2 option so it exits cleanly
1203 * Lets you enter track info for CDs without CDDB matches now
1205 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 23 May 1999
1209 * Woops, left some debugging code in 0.7.1 - if you have truckloads of 80kb
1212 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 16 May 1999
1216 * LOWDISK/-l option added for those who don't have the disk space to run a
1217 parallelized session.
1218 * MAXPROCS added to config file
1219 * CDDB handling revisited - cdgrab should now properly handle CD's with
1220 multiple or inexact CDDB entries.
1222 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 14 May 1999
1226 * Parallelizes ripping and encoding - this may take substantially more disk
1227 space temporarily (up to 500MB or so depending on how fast your CPU is
1228 compared to your cdrom drive) but cdgrab will be done with your CD
1230 * Allows for SMP optimizations (multiple encoders running at once) with the
1232 * Output fix for TOC printing
1233 * cd-discid split off into it's own package
1235 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 7 May 1999
1239 * Fixes encoder and cdrom reader option-passing bug
1241 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 4 Apr 1999
1245 * Adds the -H option (don't create .inf files) when calling cdda2wav
1246 * Removed a bashism from the usage function
1248 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 29 Mar 1999
1252 * Tacks a .wav extension to the wave data temporary file to make bladeenc
1254 * Munges /'s to _'s now instead of eating them
1255 * Adds command-line option configuration options for backend programs
1256 * Properly zero-pads the TRACKNUM variable
1258 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 28 Mar 1999
1262 * Added support for inexact or multiple CDDB matches
1263 * Properly bombs out if CDDB can't come up with a match
1264 (without CDDB, you might as well use cdparanoia -B)
1266 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 18 Mar 1999
1270 * Added ALBUMFILE, fixed manpage reference to it
1271 * Deletes editor backups from 'cdgrab -e' automagically
1272 (I wish mutt did this :)
1273 * Bombs out if there's no CD in the drive
1274 * Bombs out if any necessary external programs don't exist
1275 * Encourages people to use brackets for OUTPUTFORMAT variables to
1276 handle formats like Artist/TrackName_Number.mp3
1278 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 16 Mar 1999
1282 * Fixed one thinko in user preferences loading and another in the tagger
1283 * New option syntax - if you used to specify a cdrom device through the
1284 command line, use 'cdgrab -d device' now to get the same result.
1285 * Allows you to edit CDDB response data before using it (-e)
1286 * Added support for getting a user-specified selection of tracks
1287 * Added support for user-specified output file formats
