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

24 * New setting for the CD speed. Some drives have a higher failure ratio when
25 spinning at high speed.
26 * Added a pre-read function for preparations. Uses include closing the CD
27 tray (Closes: #137548).
28 * Added COMMENT part in OggFlac metadata.
29 * Documentation update: README, abcde.1
30 * Do not tag GENRE and DATE in Ogg/Vorbis if CDDB does not provide them
32 * Solved bug with batch encoding, thanks to Travis McKay.
33 * When *DATAPREFIX was set, the playlist creation was made without newline.
34 * Added >&2 redirection to visualize the "Erase playlist" question
36 * Added the option "-m" to modify the resulting playlist, to contain CRLF at
37 the end of every line, letting some hardware players which insist with
38 DOS-style files to use them. Also, added DOSPLAYLIST as a config option.
39 * When using a selected, localy cached CDDB entry, we forgot to show the
40 selection when asking the user for editing the choice. Now we show it.
41 * Improved the logic in the order of events when using a local CDDB repo.
43 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 6 Apr 2004 05:29:38 +0000
47 * EDITOR is called now evaluating the variable, so it works with full path
49 * Patch for making md5sum a variable (since some systems use a different
51 * Correction by "huf" <mihi at mail.eol.hu>. The test code in line 376
53 * The PADDING code and some CDDB funcions were *really* messy. Now it looks
54 cleaner, works faster and some not needed network operations are no
55 longer performed when we are working with local CDDB repositories.
56 * Added "-V" for extra verbosity (on slow networks the user might be waiting
57 and wondering is somethins is happening).
58 * Solved a bug with the non-interactive code.
60 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Mon, 16 Feb 2004 00:13:12 +0000
64 * Missing quotes restored (Closes: #228648).
66 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Tue, 20 Jan 2004 06:43:04 +0000
70 * Solved the problem with re-runs of multiple choices not showing all the
71 choices (Closes: #228405) (this was a quick one)
72 * We now show the selected CDDB entry on a second run, instead of all of
73 them (not that one should stop abcde, but just in case). This way
74 consecutive interrupted runs obtain the same results.
76 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Sun, 18 Jan 2004 22:42:15 +0000
80 * Check if normalizer is found in the PATH (Closes: #228014)
81 * Added (commented) bits to check if the CD being processed is the CD on the
82 tray, so that if differs we do not eject it.
83 * Store locally the CDDB information, under $HOME/.cddb since it is being
84 used by Grip (at least). PATH is user defined (Closes: #88048)
85 * If you are using cdda2wav and SCSI drives, you can set CDROMID for the
86 SCSI drive, since it differs from the cd-discid CDROM parameter
88 * MacOSX keeps on failing because the OS mounts the CD before we finish
89 ripping it... or something else. Please, test test test the code, and
90 report your findings. Pretty please. I have not been able to make it work
91 with the reports I have received.
93 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 16 Jan 2004 12:06:07 +0000
97 * Urgent fixes for the FreeBSD and MacOSX bits. When using cdda2wav, the
98 CDROM variable must be modified depending on the device interface. By now
99 we will not try to be very smart.
100 * Added a test for HTTPGETOPTS since it cannot be empty for the default
102 * Quick release to fix a problem with the CDROM detection code.
104 * Cleaned a bashism. Thanks to Klaus Ethgen (Closes: #226782).
105 * Rewrote some parts of the cdda2wav code. Since I do not have a machine
106 where cdda2wav works, I cannot test the code. The modifications have been
107 done following user reports. If you use cdda2wav and abcde does not work
108 for you, please, contact me and we will try to sort things out. Thanks.
110 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 8 Jan 2004 21:36:23 +0000
114 * INLINETAG and STARTTRACKNUMBER flags added.
115 * CDROM checking is now done with a bit more wiselly (Closes: #219768)
116 * HTTPGET is only requested is "cddb" action is performed.
117 * Workout the possibility of cdparanoia erasing our wav files
119 * The default answer for editing CDDB data is now "y" if the disk is
120 unknown. If not, the default is "n". Requested by Ricky Buchanan.
121 * Now we do not erase silently any previous $PLAYLISTFILE left behind by a
122 previous CD ripping (Closes: #220753)
123 * Write info file with cdda2wav (Closes: #187702).
124 I do not use cdda2wav myself (me is cd-paranoid) so if anyone using
125 cdda2wav has a problem with this, please, report.
126 * CDROM comes in 1,0,0 kind of format for cdda2wav ripper. Corrected with a
127 quick patch. Kudos go to Mikhail Manuilov <viper5k at pisem dot net> for
129 * Merged bits to make abcde work under MacOSX. Thanks to Evan Jones.
130 * Merged bits to avoid FreeDB people anger and to cut down the "abcde." part
131 of the discid. Now you can set the "-C" command with the directory name.
132 Kudos go to Bart Samwel.
133 * Added some info bits to the config file about normalize, requested by
135 * Added some testing for the wav file before normalizing, to check that the
136 file is actually there.

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

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

164 * The "Engineer" release. Yeah! I graduated!
165 * Patch applied to solve the track submission interface issues. Kudos to
166 Marc HE Brockschmidt, again (Closes: #126289)
167 * Small bug related with DISTMP3NICE solved. Kudos to Wilbert Alberts.
169 * Padding now creates the list with padded numbers. Test patch. This should
170 solve the problem with delayed tagging a single file.
172 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Fri, 13 Oct 2003 09:50:09 +0000
176 * Removed a nasty bug where even if the encode failed, the track was marked
177 as successfully encoded (Closes: #208391)
178 * Various Artists has now its own PLAYLIST format (Closes: #137432)
179 * metaflac path corrected (Closes: #206110)
180 * Hopefully this version repairs the comment part for Ogg/Vorbis files.
181 * If nothing breaks, 2.2 will be released as soon as the KNOWNBUG is solved.
182 * Removed all the inline tagging since it breaks the action chain, except
183 in Ogg/Speex. Need to check if "vorbiscomment" can be used for it.
185 * Added DISTMP3NICE variable, to nice the distmp3 program (Closes: #208398)
187 -- Jesus Climent <jesus.climent@hispalinux.es> Thu, 4 Sep 2003 10:53:09 +0000
191 * Small fixes and patches.
192 + GENRE can be used for OUTPUTFORMAT and PLAYLISTFORMAT
193 + id3v2 should work now with -c for comments (Closes: #199949)
194 + small bug with batch encoding
195 + Variables are exported before the CDDB functions are called, so they
196 should use the right variables for the HTTPGET command.
197 + Tagging also use TRACKS and CDGENRE for MP3 files (kudos to Dirk
199 + FLAC encoding now uses dismp3 to encode remotelly (kudos to Taylor and
200 Kevin Cramer). HANDLE WITH CARE ;)
201 Also FLAC now uses CDGENRE and CDYEAR for tagging.
202 * tail/head change: -1 has been deprecated. Noted by Stephan Kulow.
203 * Ogg/Speex support added, for speech encoding (Closes #204635)
204 * Documentation update (Closes: #198825)
205 * Patch for "=" in the name applied (Closes: #197199)

222 * Makefile was missing cddb-tool.1.
223 * Introduced dagrab as CD ripping utility.
224 * cddb-tool seq calls converted to functions. No more distro dependencies.
225 * WGET* variables converted to HTTPGET* variables. FreeBSD can safelly use
227 * More FreeBSD specific bits: CDROM and EJECT changes.
229 * Added CDDBPROTO for specifying the protocol level of the cddb query.
230 * CDDB protocol upgraded to 5. CDYEAR and CDGENRE are now used for CD
232 * COMMENT is now used for inline tagging with oggenc (my mistake it was
233 missing): Closes: #191475.

239 * Documentation updates: Closes: #186230.
240 * Usual set of bug fixes and corrections.
241 * Default behaviour of VAOUTPUTFORMAT output changed to avoid multiple
242 directories for a same album. I think the format is more logical, and you
243 can always split the files once they are created.
244 * Padding track wavs with 0 so if you want to burn those wavs just cdrecord
245 *.wav will do it. Use "-p" to force it when encoding a small (<9) number
246 of files (Closes: #111627).
247 * Added "KEEPWAVS" as a variable to keep those wavs. Default is "no". Can
248 use also "-k" in the command line. (Closes: #160372).
249 This probably should be changed with an option to move the wav files to
250 another directory instead of just keep de abcde.<cdid> directory.
251 * Added documentation comments about OUTPUTTYPE (Closes: #184963).
252 * abcde.conf cleanup: (Closes: #186230, #187400).

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

599 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 10 Jan 2000
603 * The "Get it Before the World Implodes" Release
604 * Added -D (debugging option, outputs debugging information to stderr).
605 Very useful for submitting bug reports, hint hint hint :)
606 Just do 'abcde -D 2>logfile' and include logfile in your bug report.
607 * Now uses id3's new -T option to embed track numbers in ID3 tags.
608 * Fixed cddb-tool output for FreeDB submissions, closes: #51986.

629 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 28 Nov 1999
633 * Removed parallelization of silent encoder processes
635 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 16 Nov 1999
639 * Removed bashisms (again :)
641 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 14 Nov 1999
645 * Fixed some output issues regarding background encoding that cropped up in
648 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 7 Nov 1999
652 * New name. A Better CD Encoder. cdgrab was already taken - the original
653 cdgrab name belongs to a CDDA reading program for DOS dating back to
654 1993. It's still in use and active development, so I'm changing the
655 name of cdgrab instead. See this URL for a description of the original
656 cdgrab: http://www.scn.rain.com/pub/cdrom/cdgrab.txt
658 Your old /etc/cdgrab.conf and/or ~/.cdgrab.conf can simply be
659 renamed to /etc/abcde.conf and ~/.abcde.conf.
661 The program name is now 'abcde'.
663 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 2 Nov 1999
667 * cdgrab 0.7 through 0.8.2 would leave around cdgrab.xxxxxx
668 tempfiles with -j. Fixed that.
669 * Fixed quoting issues regarding spaces in output files
671 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 28 Oct 1999
675 * Supports the 'gogo' mp3 encoder
676 * cddb-tool escapes double quotes when sourcing its temp files
677 * Added cddb-tool manpage
679 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 10 Oct 1999
683 * Cleared up some bashisms from the patches merged in 0.8
685 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 19 Sep 1999
689 * Fixed a bug where if multiple tracks (but not the entire CD) was
690 specificed explicitly, cdgrab would loop forever after the first track
691 * Now uses Debian's sensible-editor wrapper if available
692 * Merged in patches from Nathaniel J Smith that puts cddb lookup
693 functionality in a separate script, cddb-tool
694 * Adds WAVOUTPUTDIR environment variable for those running out of space in
697 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 26 Aug 1999
701 * Yet another quick fix to finish what 0.7.6 started - cdgrab should now
702 handle multiple inexact matches as well. (Thanks again to Robert Macaulay)
704 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 12 Aug 1999
708 * Another quick bugfix release - hopefully this will handle inexact matches
709 properly now. (Thank you Robert Macaulay :)
711 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 9 Aug 1999
715 * Quick bugfix release - with any luck I can start on 0.8 soon :)
716 * **** YOU WILL NEED TO EDIT CDGRAB.CONF **** if you use lame as
717 /usr/bin/lamer. The default program name is now 'lame' as of lame v3.0.
718 If you don't want to touch your lame installation, put the following in
719 your cdgrab.conf: "LAME=lamer"
720 * Omits -w from cdparanoia commands
721 * Depends on cdparanoia-bin or cdparanoia now - this accomodates the recent
722 cdparanoia package namechange.
723 * Fixed a stealth-whitespace typo at line 495. Thanks go to Gregory T.
724 Norris for tracking this down.
726 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 13 Jul 1999
730 * Now only uses the first match from a CDDB datafile for the track
731 information, this works around a cddb glitch some of you may have
733 * Default config file now gets version number from program.
734 * added 'debug' option to CDROMREADERSYNTAX to get cdparanoia to only rip
735 the first 5 seconds of a track. This is very useful to those debugging
736 cdgrab, makes things go much faster. This will also prevent me releasing
738 * Now puts options last on the encoder command line if you are using
739 bladeenc or l3enc, this should allow the proper use of these encoders
740 with additional commandline options (thanks to Justin Hugh Daly for
742 * m3u PLAYLIST SUPPORT! Check out the new -p and -P options!
744 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 7 Jun 1999
748 * Fixes wget calling method
749 * -l/LOWDISK documented
750 * Fixes the lowdisk #2 option so it exits cleanly
751 * Lets you enter track info for CDs without CDDB matches now
753 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 23 May 1999
757 * Woops, left some debugging code in 0.7.1 - if you have truckloads of 80kb
760 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 16 May 1999
764 * LOWDISK/-l option added for those who don't have the disk space to run a
765 parallelized session.
766 * MAXPROCS added to config file
767 * CDDB handling revisited - cdgrab should now properly handle CD's with
768 multiple or inexact CDDB entries.
770 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 14 May 1999
774 * Parallelizes ripping and encoding - this may take substantially more disk
775 space temporarily (up to 500MB or so depending on how fast your CPU is
776 compared to your cdrom drive) but cdgrab will be done with your CD
778 * Allows for SMP optimizations (multiple encoders running at once) with the
780 * Output fix for TOC printing
781 * cd-discid split off into it's own package
783 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Fri, 7 May 1999
787 * Fixes encoder and cdrom reader option-passing bug
789 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 4 Apr 1999
793 * Adds the -H option (don't create .inf files) when calling cdda2wav
794 * Removed a bashism from the usage function
796 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Mon, 29 Mar 1999
800 * Tacks a .wav extension to the wave data temporary file to make bladeenc
802 * Munges /'s to _'s now instead of eating them
803 * Adds command-line option configuration options for backend programs
804 * Properly zero-pads the TRACKNUM variable
806 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 28 Mar 1999
810 * Added support for inexact or multiple CDDB matches
811 * Properly bombs out if CDDB can't come up with a match
812 (without CDDB, you might as well use cdparanoia -B)
814 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 18 Mar 1999
818 * Added ALBUMFILE, fixed manpage reference to it
819 * Deletes editor backups from 'cdgrab -e' automagically
820 (I wish mutt did this :)
821 * Bombs out if there's no CD in the drive
822 * Bombs out if any necessary external programs don't exist
823 * Encourages people to use brackets for OUTPUTFORMAT variables to
824 handle formats like Artist/TrackName_Number.mp3
826 -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 16 Mar 1999
830 * Fixed one thinko in user preferences loading and another in the tagger
831 * New option syntax - if you used to specify a cdrom device through the
832 command line, use 'cdgrab -d device' now to get the same result.
833 * Allows you to edit CDDB response data before using it (-e)
834 * Added support for getting a user-specified selection of tracks
835 * Added support for user-specified output file formats
