5 * Fix the command line for ID3SYNTAX=eyed3. Thanks to neil.gm.richards
6 for the patch. Closes issue 50.
7 * Switch to eyed3 by default for MP3 tagging, as it looks to do UTF-8
8 tagging better. Closes issue 22 (hopefully)

22 * Add Recommends: atomicparsley in the Debian packaging for Debian/Ubuntu
24 * Remove documentation of the old "-R" option for recursive searching of
25 local CDDB data, it's now enabled always. (Closes issue 57).
26 * Fix use of awk (sub instead of substr) when generating CRLF line endings.
28 * Make sure that ABCDETEMPDIR is quoted so we can deal with spaces in
29 file and directory names. Closes issue 64. Thanks to
30 richard.security.consultant for the patch, adapted slightly.
31 * Tweak do_cdtext() so it works on OS X too. Closes issue 65.
32 Thanks to richard.security.consultant for the patch.
33 * Change cddb-tool to use bash to make sure that echo -n works.
35 * Fixes for lots of spelling mistakes from vskytta. Closes issue 68.
36 * For safety across different systems, avoid using "sed -i".

45 Thanks to vskytta for pointing out the problem - patch not applied
47 * Quickly re-release as 2.5.2
49 -- Steve McIntyre <93sam@debian.org> Sun, 29 Apr 2012 17:17:14 +0100
54 * Several patches for improved Musicbrainz support from Martin Michlmayr:

66 * On OS X, switch from disktool to diskutil. (Closes issue 43).
67 * Updates for CD device detection:
68 + Look for /dev/sr0, in case /dev/cdrom doesn't exist.
70 + Add suggested diskutil code to auto-detect the CD on OS X.
72 * Check that we have $CDDBTOOL before we start. (Closes issue 27).
73 * Change the meaning of EXTRAVERBOSE; previously, it was a y/n option
74 to make things more verbose. Add extra levels of verbosity (0, 1, 2 so
75 far) and a new vvecho() function for callers to use.
76 * With EXTRAVERBOSE==2 or more, make run_command() print out each
77 command as it's run. (Closes issue 39).
78 * If we don't find any CDDB or Musicbrainz information for the CD, try
79 to extract CD-Text information to populate the cddbinfo template.
81 * Try to give more helpful error messages when we can't parse the
82 command line, and exit rather than carry on. (Closes issue 51).
85 * replace deprecated egrep with grep -E (Closes issue 24).
86 Thanks to vskytta for the patch.
87 * remove -o 0 options from make install (Closes issue 17).
88 Thanks to vskytta for the patch.
89 * clean up indentation on older changelog entries

164 -- Colin Tuckley <colint@debian.org> Sun, 02 Aug 2009 13:32:30 +0100
170 * The "It took me a long time to get this release out" release.
171 * abcde.1: remove -M in favour of "-a cue" (Closes: #382614, #396505).
172 * Added a check for a DOCUE already set in the command line
174 * Added -q <Q> as a quality option.
175 * PREGAP was not set in some situations (Closes: #390170).
176 * Added -nv to wget for "no verbose" output, to avoid wget complaining it
177 cannot be quiet and verbose at the same time if "verbose = on" is set in
178 ~/.wgetrc (Closes: #388715).
179 * Added XS-Vcs-Svn: field to control file.
180 * Added some hints if we are using Debian for what packages need to be
181 installed if their binaries are not found.
182 * Spelling mistakes corrected (thanks to Ville Skytta).
183 * Unset GREP_OPTIONS to avoid things like printing number in the beginning of

192 * Added by Marc Staveley:
194 - track comments if null and present in CDDB.

207 -- Colin Tuckley <colint@debian.org> Sat, 25 Jul 2009 09:50:42 +0100
211 * Default to UNICODE (UTF8) tags and comments (Closes: #282332).
212 - Added CDDBPROTO option in config file (Closes: #349951)
213 * Added a missing "INDEX 01" entry for CUE sheet creation.
214 * Avoid completing the encoding of files if we aborted previously.
215 * Embed the CUE sheet if we have a cuesheet file and we have a single FLAC
216 file, even if we are not tagging. This way we can use the file as a source
217 even if it is not tagged/named properly.
218 * Fails to quote filenames properly (Closes: #355296)
219 * Introduced VA/ONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT.
220 * Added a missing check for AACENCODER.
221 * Updated config file with some new AAC bits.
222 * Updated FSF address.
223 * Corrected NetBSD options for ftp (Thanks to Marius).
224 * The final 2.4 will have "cuefile" as an action instead of as a flag.
225 * Create the cuefile when extracting from a FLAC file.
226 * Small bugs (Charles Steinkuehler):
227 - Added missing quotes (Closes: #375710)
228 - toolame is included in Debian as default MP3 encoder
229 - Use IFS to preserve spaces when adding metadata to a cuefile
230 * Small documentation changes:
231 - abcde.1 (Closes: #364978)
232 * The following entries have in common that both add an internal cue2discid
233 function. I will evaluate which one is more accurate and decide which one
234 to use. Right now they are not conflicting:
235 - Added internal mkcue and cue2discid functions (Charles Steinkuehler) and
236 add a check for internal abcde.<function> to make sure we are using the
237 correct version (not sure if needed ;)
238 - Added an internal implementation of cue2discid, so there is no need for
239 an external program to do the conversion. Thanks to Michael (sorry, his
240 mail does not have a surname).
241 * cue2discid is now an internal function, so no need for including the
242 python script in the path (Closes: #378407)
243 * cddb-tool.1 typo (Thanks to A. Costa) (Closes: #351775)
244 * abcde.1 typo (Thanks to David L. Anselmi) (Closes: #364978)
245 * Set proper nice values to not separate encoding and reading in the pipes
246 situation, while having a high priority process running in the system.
247 Also, set proper nice values to tagging tasks. Reading should remain as
248 the default higher priority task in the abcde flow (Closes: #359156)
249 * Standards bumped to 3.7.2.1, no changes needed.

258 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 07 Feb 2006 23:48:00 +0200
262 * Repaired multiple output encoding (Closes: #351362).
263 * Added missing space on a [] test statement.
264 * Added "default" action, so that one can add things on top of what we do
265 regularly, without having to list everything: "-a default,playlist" works.
266 * Restored all the > /dev/null instead of using grep -q, since it is not
268 * Added Solaris OS entry, in case we need to define things for it.
270 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 05 Feb 2006 15:24:00 +0200
274 * The "Mao es nuestro indiscutible lider" release.
275 * Check the CDROMREADER options we have in Debian which we depend on. Thanks
276 to Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo for finding the error.
277 * New recursive option for local CDDB repositories, to cope with other
278 players saving the entries.
279 * Brand new CD backup procedure: rip a CD into a single FLAC trac with an
280 embedded cuesheet using "-1 -M -o flac" and proceed to rip your tracks
281 from the obtained file using "-d file.flac -o <format>". It needs
282 cue2discid script from the examples directory to work. OH! If you manage
283 to get it working with bash, we can get rid of the python dependency...
284 * Initial steps to make abcde working with musicbrainz, although it is not
286 * Added a missing $ in a variable (Closes: #345629).
287 * Added -p to the mkdir's for $ABCDETEMPDIR (Closes: #345630).
288 * Added iconv + converted to utf-8 the charset of a ready-to-send CDDB
289 entry (Closes: #345708).
290 * Added AAC (Mpeg4) support.
291 * Small cd-discid update.

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

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

370 * Rips done in a single track were getting tagged as Various. Corrected.
371 * Possibly eliminated some bashisms from using a variable as a variable
372 (Closes: #324399). Thanks to A Costa.
374 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 26 Aug 2005 01:36:35 +0300
378 * Too fast... I forgot to make the tarball and change the version strings in
379 several places. Fixed.
381 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 19 Aug 2005 00:44:37 +0300
385 * The new "I knew there were going to be bugs" upstream release!
386 * MKCUE needs to be passed some $CDROM as an option, or otherwise it will
387 not read the CDROM, in case is not /dev/cdrom.
388 * Also, make the CUEREADER a bit more general, since we might be using other
391 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 18 Aug 2005 23:44:20 +0300
395 * New upstream release!
396 * Defining the tracknumber now resets the first track if given a number
397 different than 1 (that is: abcde -T 1 2-10 creates songs 1 to 9).
398 * Modified the FAQ to reflect the changes on Marillat's repo
400 * Should be "space" safe: works properly when the working directory contains
401 a space (Closes: #147493).
402 * Repared the CD query for the discid code. When failing to read a disc,
403 actually report that there might be no disc in the drive.
404 * Right now, walk over the different encoders we Depends: on in Debian and
405 use the one available: if a user has a FLAC encoder, abcde will no install
406 vorbis-tools, so it will fail to run out of the box (Closes: #321216)
407 * Added CUE support. Still experimental...
408 * Added FLAC on Ogg. Still not activated, since we cannot get comments added
409 as a post-process action.
410 * Applied patches from Fedora Core (Credit goes to Nils Philippsen
411 <nphilipp@redhat.com>)
412 * Added a post_read() function to be executed before ejecting the CD.
413 * Typos reported by A Costa corrected (Closes: #311463)
414 * Problem with abcde being run in a directory with files containing only
415 numbers solved (Closes: #313628).
416 * vorbiscomment uses now "-R" (Closes: #303566).
417 * "-t" and "-T" use the first track as a starter for the track list.
419 * Added CDPARANOIACDROMBUS option to define -d in case of using IDE and SCSI
420 in case of using ide-scsi emulation layer (Closes: #290768).
421 * Define metaflac in abcde.conf (Closes: #303555)
422 * Added the default "-f" option to the configuration file, to represent the
423 actual default option.
425 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 11 Aug 2005 00:47:27 +0300
429 * Double quotation added to solve parsing * as a wildcard (Closes: #302904).
430 Thanks to Christian Grigis for the patch. Also (Closes: #268088).

436 * CDPARANOIAOUTPUT missed some quotes.
437 * Removed some useless lines.
438 * If BATCH is used with ONETRACK, disable BATCH.
439 * Small typos with CDROM comparisons.
440 * Logic for CDROM variable improved.
441 * Version bumped to 2.2.5 and targeted to Sarge.
443 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 2 Apr 2005 21:05:18 +0300
447 * Changed the way we call flac, to adapt to the new times:
448 --import-vc-from= to --import-tags-from.
449 * DOSPLAYLIST was not included in the list of options.
450 * Options passed to the encoder by using <-o ogg:"-b 192"> are now
451 supported. One can modify the way abcde encodes just for the current CD.
452 * Unfortunatelly I forgot to add the starting number for tags in Ogg. For
453 MP3 is a bit more difficult, since it needs changing the X/YY code.
454 * Also, the order of the tags in metaflac is important for the utf8 names.
455 Thanks to Frederik Juul Christiani (Closes: #297482)
456 * Added CDROMID in the .conf file, for reader programs that need it
458 * Added a check for cdparanoia when encountering data-only CDs.
460 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 1 Mar 2005 15:14:24 +0200
465 - suggest normalize-audio, since it changed its name (Closes: #287674).
466 * Use the default while erasing an existing playlist (Closes: #288835).
467 * Does not destroy track information when a track contains "=" in the name
470 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sat, 22 Jan 2005 15:35:46 +0200
474 * Quotes missing when evaluating a value (Closes: #284018).

480 * Spotted and solved a problem with the way the data tracks were detected
483 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Wed, 24 Nov 2004 22:47:54 +0200
487 * New release! Let's see if abcde 2.2 gets into Sarge.
488 * Added support for MPP/MP+(Musepack) encoding. Although I am trying to
489 get 2.2 for Debian Sarge release, mpc seems safe enough to introduce. See
490 corecodec.org for code.
491 * Some POSIX shell corrections (making the code more portable). Thanks to
492 Guillem Jover for pointing the problem out.
493 * CDYEAR is also passed to do_move(), so one can use it for sorting the
495 * Small MacOS X fix, allowing directories with "()" to work. Thanks to Evan
497 - On the MacOS X, I still do not know if abcde works correctly. If does
498 not, please, drop a note. Or else.
499 * DOSPLAYLIST also changes "/" with "\".
500 * DATA tracks are now excluded from the ripping process using internally
501 the cdparanoia "-Q" query option. If using another ripper, it does not
502 work (at least there is no support for them in abcde)
503 (Closes: #112692, #117412).
504 * New "0" choice for "None of the above" has been introduced. If selected, a
505 template is created and the user encouraged to edit it (Closes: #147683).
506 * New options for when the PLAYLIST already exists: erase, append or keep.
507 * Bug fixes along the code:
508 - abcde.1 corrections and additions
509 - abcde corrections and code reorganization. abcde now exits earlier if
510 some of the options are incompatible. Also the actions are set as
511 variables earlier, so we use less calls to external tools.
512 - abcde.conf additions
513 * The GENRE is munged now in its own mungegenre function, so that no more
514 upper-to-lowercase is done (forced) except if the default is used.
515 * Examples added to the tarball and /usr/share/doc/abcde/examples with two
516 scripts to make abcde kind-of-a ripper daemon.
517 * Changed to experimental to have an stable 2.1.x version in Sarge.
518 * Add CDDB information to Ogg/Vorbis and FLAC files (Closes: #265358).
519 * Added INTERACTIVE option. Set it to "n" and there you go, without user
521 * Changes normalize to normalize-audio (Closes: #267053)
522 * Copes with wav files being erased by the ripping tool.
523 * Small patch to support ()'s in the path under MacOSX. Thanks to Evan Jones
524 for noticing and sending the patch.
525 * Added -w for COMMENT seed. Used to give a comment to a given CD.
526 * Option "-t <number>" added to modify the numbering from a starting point
527 (Closes: #95828). Geez! That is low bug number...
528 * Added -T to modify also the tag entries on the songs. Currently available
529 for FLAC and Ogg/Vorbis.
530 * Removes trailing spaces (Closes: #280382).
531 * TRACKNAME now combines multi-lines from long CDDB entries.

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

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

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

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

716 * The "Engineer" release. Yeah! I graduated!
717 * Patch applied to solve the track submission interface issues. Kudos to
718 Marc HE Brockschmidt, again (Closes: #126289)
719 * Small bug related with DISTMP3NICE solved. Kudos to Wilbert Alberts.
721 * Padding now creates the list with padded numbers. Test patch. This should
722 solve the problem with delayed tagging a single file.
724 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 13 Oct 2003 09:50:09 +0000
728 * Removed a nasty bug where even if the encode failed, the track was marked
729 as successfully encoded (Closes: #208391)
730 * Various Artists has now its own PLAYLIST format (Closes: #137432)
731 * metaflac path corrected (Closes: #206110)
732 * Hopefully this version repairs the comment part for Ogg/Vorbis files.
733 * If nothing breaks, 2.2 will be released as soon as the KNOWNBUG is solved.
734 * Removed all the inline tagging since it breaks the action chain, except
735 in Ogg/Speex. Need to check if "vorbiscomment" can be used for it.
737 * Added DISTMP3NICE variable, to nice the distmp3 program (Closes: #208398)
739 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 4 Sep 2003 10:53:09 +0000
743 * Small fixes and patches.
744 + GENRE can be used for OUTPUTFORMAT and PLAYLISTFORMAT
745 + id3v2 should work now with -c for comments (Closes: #199949)
746 + small bug with batch encoding
747 + Variables are exported before the CDDB functions are called, so they
748 should use the right variables for the HTTPGET command.
749 + Tagging also use TRACKS and CDGENRE for MP3 files (kudos to Dirk
751 + FLAC encoding now uses dismp3 to encode remotelly (kudos to Taylor and
752 Kevin Cramer). HANDLE WITH CARE ;)
753 Also FLAC now uses CDGENRE and CDYEAR for tagging.
754 * tail/head change: -1 has been deprecated. Noted by Stephan Kulow.
755 * Ogg/Speex support added, for speech encoding (Closes #204635)
756 * Documentation update (Closes: #198825)
757 * Patch for "=" in the name applied (Closes: #197199)

764 + COMMENT should work now.
765 + Aesthetic padding on the total amount of tracks.
767 + CDROM is now checked after reading the user defined entries.
768 * Remove trailing args from $EDITOR when checking -x: Closes #179222.

774 * Makefile was missing cddb-tool.1.
775 * Introduced dagrab as CD ripping utility.
776 * cddb-tool seq calls converted to functions. No more distro dependencies.
777 * WGET* variables converted to HTTPGET* variables. FreeBSD can safelly use
779 * More FreeBSD specific bits: CDROM and EJECT changes.
781 * Added CDDBPROTO for specifying the protocol level of the cddb query.
782 * CDDB protocol upgraded to 5. CDYEAR and CDGENRE are now used for CD
784 * COMMENT is now used for inline tagging with oggenc (my mistake it was
785 missing): Closes: #191475.

791 * Documentation updates: Closes: #186230.
792 * Usual set of bug fixes and corrections.
793 * Default behaviour of VAOUTPUTFORMAT output changed to avoid multiple
794 directories for a same album. I think the format is more logical, and you
795 can always split the files once they are created.
796 * Padding track wavs with 0 so if you want to burn those wavs just cdrecord
797 *.wav will do it. Use "-p" to force it when encoding a small (<9) number
798 of files (Closes: #111627).
799 * Added "KEEPWAVS" as a variable to keep those wavs. Default is "no". Can
800 use also "-k" in the command line. (Closes: #160372).
801 This probably should be changed with an option to move the wav files to
802 another directory instead of just keep de abcde.<cdid> directory.
803 * Added documentation comments about OUTPUTTYPE (Closes: #184963).
804 * abcde.conf cleanup: (Closes: #186230, #187400).

816 * Since abcde does not depend on eject, an execution test ([-x]) was added,
817 but that means abcde needs a test for eject in the patch if -x is passed:

1067 * Removed -e, -v, and -V, since abcde will now prompt you if you want to
1068 edit or otherwise muck with the data after you have a chance to see it.
1070 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 22 Jun 2000
1074 * The "That wasn't chicken" release.
1075 * Remote distributed encoding had a bad bug in 1.1 - work to be done
1076 remotely was duplicated locally (everything still turned out ok - there
1077 was just no speedup). Fixed that.
1078 * Restructured encode_and_tag function.
1080 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 07 May 2000

1155 * The "Get it Before the World Implodes" Release
1156 * Added -D (debugging option, outputs debugging information to stderr).
1157 Very useful for submitting bug reports, hint hint hint :)
1158 Just do 'abcde -D 2>logfile' and include logfile in your bug report.

1181 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 28 Nov 1999
1185 * Removed parallelization of silent encoder processes
1187 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 16 Nov 1999
1191 * Removed bashisms (again :)
1193 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 14 Nov 1999
1197 * Fixed some output issues regarding background encoding that cropped up in
1200 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 7 Nov 1999
1204 * New name. A Better CD Encoder. cdgrab was already taken - the original
1205 cdgrab name belongs to a CDDA reading program for DOS dating back to
1206 1993. It's still in use and active development, so I'm changing the
1207 name of cdgrab instead. See this URL for a description of the original
1208 cdgrab: http://www.scn.rain.com/pub/cdrom/cdgrab.txt
1210 Your old /etc/cdgrab.conf and/or ~/.cdgrab.conf can simply be
1211 renamed to /etc/abcde.conf and ~/.abcde.conf.
1213 The program name is now 'abcde'.
1215 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 2 Nov 1999
1219 * cdgrab 0.7 through 0.8.2 would leave around cdgrab.xxxxxx
1220 tempfiles with -j. Fixed that.
1221 * Fixed quoting issues regarding spaces in output files
1223 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 28 Oct 1999
1227 * Supports the 'gogo' mp3 encoder
1228 * cddb-tool escapes double quotes when sourcing its temp files
1229 * Added cddb-tool manpage
1231 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 10 Oct 1999
1235 * Cleared up some bashisms from the patches merged in 0.8
1237 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 19 Sep 1999
1241 * Fixed a bug where if multiple tracks (but not the entire CD) was
1242 specificed explicitly, cdgrab would loop forever after the first track
1243 * Now uses Debian's sensible-editor wrapper if available
1244 * Merged in patches from Nathaniel J Smith that puts cddb lookup
1245 functionality in a separate script, cddb-tool
1246 * Adds WAVOUTPUTDIR environment variable for those running out of space in
1249 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 26 Aug 1999
1253 * Yet another quick fix to finish what 0.7.6 started - cdgrab should now
1254 handle multiple inexact matches as well. (Thanks again to Robert Macaulay)
1256 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 12 Aug 1999
1260 * Another quick bugfix release - hopefully this will handle inexact matches
1261 properly now. (Thank you Robert Macaulay :)
1263 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 9 Aug 1999
1267 * Quick bugfix release - with any luck I can start on 0.8 soon :)
1268 * **** YOU WILL NEED TO EDIT CDGRAB.CONF **** if you use lame as
1269 /usr/bin/lamer. The default program name is now 'lame' as of lame v3.0.
1270 If you don't want to touch your lame installation, put the following in
1271 your cdgrab.conf: "LAME=lamer"
1272 * Omits -w from cdparanoia commands
1273 * Depends on cdparanoia-bin or cdparanoia now - this accommodates the recent
1274 cdparanoia package namechange.
1275 * Fixed a stealth-whitespace typo at line 495. Thanks go to Gregory T.
1276 Norris for tracking this down.
1278 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 13 Jul 1999
1282 * Now only uses the first match from a CDDB datafile for the track
1283 information, this works around a cddb glitch some of you may have
1285 * Default config file now gets version number from program.
1286 * added 'debug' option to CDROMREADERSYNTAX to get cdparanoia to only rip
1287 the first 5 seconds of a track. This is very useful to those debugging
1288 cdgrab, makes things go much faster. This will also prevent me releasing
1290 * Now puts options last on the encoder command line if you are using
1291 bladeenc or l3enc, this should allow the proper use of these encoders
1292 with additional commandline options (thanks to Justin Hugh Daly for
1294 * m3u PLAYLIST SUPPORT! Check out the new -p and -P options!
1296 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 7 Jun 1999
1300 * Fixes wget calling method
1301 * -l/LOWDISK documented
1302 * Fixes the lowdisk #2 option so it exits cleanly
1303 * Lets you enter track info for CDs without CDDB matches now
1305 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 23 May 1999
1309 * Woops, left some debugging code in 0.7.1 - if you have truckloads of 80kb
1312 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 16 May 1999
1316 * LOWDISK/-l option added for those who don't have the disk space to run a
1317 parallelized session.
1318 * MAXPROCS added to config file
1319 * CDDB handling revisited - cdgrab should now properly handle CD's with
1320 multiple or inexact CDDB entries.
1322 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 14 May 1999
1326 * Parallelizes ripping and encoding - this may take substantially more disk
1327 space temporarily (up to 500MB or so depending on how fast your CPU is
1328 compared to your cdrom drive) but cdgrab will be done with your CD
1330 * Allows for SMP optimizations (multiple encoders running at once) with the
1332 * Output fix for TOC printing
1333 * cd-discid split off into it's own package
1335 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 7 May 1999
1339 * Fixes encoder and cdrom reader option-passing bug
1341 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 4 Apr 1999
1345 * Adds the -H option (don't create .inf files) when calling cdda2wav
1346 * Removed a bashism from the usage function
1348 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 29 Mar 1999
1352 * Tacks a .wav extension to the wave data temporary file to make bladeenc
1354 * Munges /'s to _'s now instead of eating them
1355 * Adds command-line option configuration options for backend programs
1356 * Properly zero-pads the TRACKNUM variable
1358 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 28 Mar 1999
1362 * Added support for inexact or multiple CDDB matches
1363 * Properly bombs out if CDDB can't come up with a match
1364 (without CDDB, you might as well use cdparanoia -B)
1366 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 18 Mar 1999
1370 * Added ALBUMFILE, fixed manpage reference to it
1371 * Deletes editor backups from 'cdgrab -e' automagically
1372 (I wish mutt did this :)
1373 * Bombs out if there's no CD in the drive
1374 * Bombs out if any necessary external programs don't exist
1375 * Encourages people to use brackets for OUTPUTFORMAT variables to
1376 handle formats like Artist/TrackName_Number.mp3
1378 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 16 Mar 1999
1382 * Fixed one thinko in user preferences loading and another in the tagger
1383 * New option syntax - if you used to specify a cdrom device through the
1384 command line, use 'cdgrab -d device' now to get the same result.
1385 * Allows you to edit CDDB response data before using it (-e)
1386 * Added support for getting a user-specified selection of tracks
1387 * Added support for user-specified output file formats
