- Format:
-
- <string in about requester> = <version string(s)>
- - <List of changes>
-
-
- Release 1.0 = MakeCD 0.26 (23.10.96)
- - unsupported public beta version for Meeting Pearls IV.
- - see note on next release.
-
- Release 1.0 = MakeCD 1.1 (14.11.96)
- - initial non-beta version.
- - yes, the string in the about requester did not change. :-(.
- use "version full MakeCD" to find out the exact version.
-
- Release 1.1 = MakeCD 1.8
- ReadWrite.module 1.9
- SCSISupport.module 3.3
- Yamaha.driver 3.4
- PhilipsCDD2000.driver 3.4
- PhilipsCDD2600.driver 3.4
- CDROM.driver 3.3
- ToshibaCD.driver 3.5
- NecCD.driver 3.4
- SonyCD.driver 3.4
-
- - Rewrote reading/writing (new: ReadWrite.module)
- - ExAll() is used optionally, GUI is updated only every second
- => improved performance
- Scanning source paths is up to eight times faster now (compared
- to V1.0 with enabled GUI display).
- - More detailed error messages (all SCSI errors documented
- for CDD2000 or CDR-102 are explained with texts).
- - Instead of always using parallel IO MakeCD can be forced to
- read and write alternating. Try this if you had performance
- problems.
- - When reading/writing of a track fails, you can choose how
- to continue in a requester.
- - GUI for image creation is independent from reading and writing,
- i.e. opening the window's menu will not stop the image writing.
- - Writing speed can be set seperately for copying of audio
- tracks.
- - In the track list of a CD the start and end block of each
- track are listed => this way you can see if the driver could
- find the real track length. However, this is currently only
- the case with CD-Rs in a CD writer. Usually the tracks are
- listed including the pauses.
- - Mode 2 (XA) tracks are fully supported now.
- - You can set speed for audio reading/copying seperately.
- - You can select all tracks of a source CD at once for copying.
- - The Philips drivers send a RECOVER command as repair action:
- This helps to recover when power down occured while writing.
- The CD-R must not be removed before repairing.
- - Global switch between Motorola and Intel (MSF/LSF) audio format.
- - MakeCD makes sure the PMA (Program Memory Area) is updated when it
- stops writing tracks now. The Yamaha writer has no special command
- for this, so driver ejects the CD-R automatically. This has the same
- effect.
- - minor improvements
- - Bugfix: ISO images created with MakeCD were invalid sometimes:
- Especially large files might have been trashed.
- - Bugfix: Sometimes a wrong table of contents was written to CD-R.
- - Bugfix: A leading underscore in the ISO volume name is allowed.
- - Bugfix: Opening "Target CD-R" window trashed one byte of MakeCD's
- own memory.
- - Bugfix: When using the "Target CD-R" window for fixation, the TOC
- type was fixed to CD-ROM. Now the correct type is always selected
- automatically.
- - Workaround for some CD-ROM drives: TOC is read at once. Fixes
- problem with invalid track type and length.
- - Path prefixes cause invalid images => disabled for 1.1, not fixed yet.

-
- Release 1.2 = MakeCD 1.9 (01.01.97)
- makecdromfs.module 4.0
- ReadWrite.module 1.10
- SCSISupport.module 3.3
- Yamaha.driver 3.4
- PhilipsCDD2000.driver 3.4
- PhilipsCDD2600.driver 3.4
- CDROM.driver 3.3
- ToshibaCD.driver 3.5
- NecCD.driver 3.4
- SonyCD.driver 3.4
-
- - Bugfix (1.1): The volume name was always UNREGISTERED.
- - Bugfix (1.1): SCSI drivers were only found when MakeCD was started with
- the current directory set to its home directory.
- - Bugfix: The installer script didn't copy the ReadWrite.module
- - New: You can choose using an image file instead of the usual source even
- if the sizes differ.
-
- Known Problems:
- - PhilipsCDD2600.driver is beta: reading does not work yet.
- - Path prefixes for source paths had to be disabled.
