0.72 04-07-2009
- Igor Gorbounov completed the Russian translation
- fixed lockups in the spiral under Mac OS X
- fixed crash when calling dvdisaster on command line without
specifying a file name on Mac OS X
0.72 (rc-1) 11-04-2009
- Documentation and locale cleanup for en, de
- added app bundle creation for Mac OS X
- Graphical bug: red/green sector markings were incorrect when doing
linear reading with high sector skip numbers. Fixed.
Speed curve will no longer travel below the x axis.
- fixed rare crash while linear reading due to a race condition
by improper ClearCrcCache() usage.
- fixed bogus dead sector warning in the linear reader
after encountering unreadable sectors
- made adaptive reading pursue raw reading more aggressively;
effectively trading in place re-reads for seeks over
the medium.
- --help output for --defective-dump was complete nonsense. Fixed.
- detection of read errors at the end of track at once disks
would sometimes cut off too many sectors when doing multiple
reading passes and a carefully crafted number of extra read
errors occurred. Fixed.
- fixed crash in command line mode when doing multiple
reading passes.
------ 0.72 released ------
0.71 (devel-28) 08-03-2009
- changed SSE2 handling; now only the interesting part of
dvdisaster are compiled with -msse2 and selection between
normal and SSE2 code versions are done at run time.
(Don't waste your time searching for SSE2 code in 0.7x -
there is none; but we need the option to configure for it
in preparation of 0.80)
Thanks to Karsten H., Nathan S. and Tobias G. for bringing
this issue to my attention!
- changed treatment of CRC failures: old behaviour was to
store a defective sector marker; now the actual sector
contents are written to the image file.
- starting a scan/after automatically loading a medium
would not always work. Fixed.
- command line mode will no longer scan for available
devices when one is already given via -d.
Thanks to Raphael M. for noting this.
- fixed build failure on FreeBSD; updated atapicam loading
instructions.
- opening the preferences dialog produced a GTK warning. Fixed.

under Windows.
0.71 (devel-27) 18-01-2009

on empty drive. Will now report missing media correctly.
- fixed infinite loop on disk full state
- fixed failure on writing ecc files with now possible larger
cache settings in command line mode
- increased encoder cache size to 8GB for RS01 and RS02

bad sectors whose data portion is actually good; added
trivial correction by resetting the sync pattern

- Phew. English and German documentation finished.
- fixed crash when using ancient CD-ROM drives.
Thanks to mschaeff to bringing this to my attention!
- more robust handling for incomplete/unfinalized media; should produce
less dreaded "couldn't query [several possiblilities] length"
errors now ;-)
- added on-the-fly checkum verification for RS02
- skipped color glitch in the GUI; skipped sectors would not always be marked
blue in the spiral

race condition on very fast systems; fixed.
- started support for a new missing sector marker
0.71 (devel-26) 30-03-2008

- CRC information is calculated and cached when reading the image
so that we do not need to re-read the image in a subsequent create operation.
- tinkered with speed curve algorithm to get smoother lines
- made sector color markers during linear read more understandable (hopefully)
- configure will now correctly honor $LDFLAGS from the user environment
- added Gtk+ library localization files to Windows distribution
(thanks to J. Meyer for reporting this problem!)
- fixed bug in the Errors/Ecc block graph which would make it scale incorrectly
if uncorrectable errors are encountered (this was just a rendering problem
with no influence on the actual error correction)

- fixed crash at startup when linked against Gtk+ 2.6
(Thanks to Radu M. and Richard B. for noting this!)
0.64: 18-10-2005
- reworked console and logging output:
Got rid of \b usage in locale files,
making gawk filtering of diagnostic warning obsolete.
More removal of read and CRC error reporting in GUI mode as buffering
them may result in going out of memory in worst case situations.
Use the program in command line mode and apply file
redirection if you still wish to see these messages.
- fixed a glitch in the linear read/scanning GUI
which prevented small unreadable areas to stay
marked red in the spiral
- fixed bug which did not install the CREDITS.* files
- fixed configure to use the --prefix settings properly
(thanks to Daniel Baumann for pointing this out)
- added de/en/it man pages supplied by Daniel Baumann
- fixed non-working --spinup-delay command line arg
- added configurable --docsubdir at request of Daniel
- Changed linear reading strategy
. Sector skipping after a read error is now done in all passes,
not just the first one (the previous behaviour turned out as
an arbitrary design decision which did not really make sense)
. Re-reading passes are carried out in 16 sector chunks, too
- provided workaround for detecting CD media on Teac slimline
drives (and possibly others) caused by silly firmware answers
- provided workaround for read errors which are reported
as something else by sloppy firmware
- added debugging functions --random-image and --random-seed for creating
images with "random" numbers. Images created with --random-seed n are
bitwise mirrors of those created with --random-seed -n.
- hunted down some memory leaks
- turned warning dialogs into modal dialogs
- fixed some minor redraw flaws in adaptive read mode
- fixed automatic file removal bug when in FAT32 mode
(thanks to Peter H., Walter G and Stephan J. for noting this)

it would not bring up the intended error dialog, but either
continue quietly or terminate the whole program.

or sharing a dvdisaster installation between different Windows installations
- started support for parsing ISO file system structures
- added some recent drives to the drive data base

0.63: 01-08-2005
- added adaptive read strategy (thanks to Harald Bögeholz
for the suggestion; see also the CREDITS file)
- added --fill-unreadble option for better compatibility with
other tools (e.g. h2cdimage from c't magazine)
- cut down information written to the log window in GUI mode
as that could use up significant amounts of memory in worst
case scenarios. Use command line mode if you are still interested
in these messages.
- fixed code for clean compile with gcc 4.0.1
- added auto-suffix option for automatically adding .img/.ecc to files
given without an extension (thanks to Marcus for the suggestion!)
- changed function test prototype in bash based configure from
char* to char to work around misdetection of gcc's builtin gettext()
(thanks to Heinz R. for pointing this out)

for pointing this out)
- relaxed handling of image size mismatches
0.61: 24-04-2005
- added preferences dialog

- added --spinup-delay option
- removed startup-related downspike in the speed graph
0.60: 09-04-2005
- first release with graphical user interface
- tinkered again with image size detection
- added debugging function for zeroing out the "unreadable sector"
markers (thanks to Marcus J. for the suggestion!)
- made configure more compatible with autoconf behaviour
(thanks to Andreas for pointing out the differences!)
0.55: 20-02-2005
- added Italian translation from Andrea Polverini (polve@polve.com)
- improved media type detection
- upward compatibility with the improved media footprint calculation
from upcoming version 0.60
0.54: 01-01-2005
- Switched from Cygwin/cygwin1.dll to Mingw/msvcrt.dll,
with some additional functionality taken over by glib2.
This may cause some short-time inconvenience (please report
all different behaviour relative to 0.53.1!),
but will pay off in later versions.
- Some code reorganization.
- Shortened the version number scheme to major.minor
- Removed visualization via gnuplot. Visualization will be
re-introduced in version 0.60; please use version 0.53.1
for visualization if needed.
- Reworked compilation instructions in documentation.
0.53.1: 27-12-2004
- encrypted discs will be rejected before any actual reading
is attempted (avoids confusing error messages when running into
the encrypted area).
0.53.0: 23-12-2004
- introduction of GNU gettext
- German localization
- Makefile will automatically collect .c files
- Preparation for multiple codecs
- fixed incorrect media size calculation for +RW images
- fixed installation procedure (thanks to Kay D. !)
0.52.1: 04-12-2004
- Fixed the handling of truncated image files (thanks to Harald B.!)
- Better diagnosis of images which are longer than supposed
(should never happen, but one never knows)
0.52.0: 28-11-2004
- codec speedups and user selectable redundancy settings
0.51.1: 13-11-2004
- fixed bug which prevented dvdisaster from working
under Windows XP without Cygwin being installed
(thanks to Andrea and Harald B. for reporting this!)
- removed unnecessary open with write permission
within --test action
- Besides bringing scanning speed to a screeching halt on
slow systems, calculation of the image md5sum during
the --scan option wasn't very useful -- removed it.
- repaired a glitch which would derail the codec when
fixing a truncated image
- added --dao option
- added a test predicting a TAO medium when fixing a
damaged image
0.51.0: 06-11-2004
- added experimental ASPI support for Cygwin version
- added alternative "-end" syntax for specifying the sector range
- added -j/--jump option
- fixed minor bug which made -t option fail reading the CRC data
on very small media images
0.50.0: 01-10-2004
- Experimental Cygwin support.
- Rewrote SCSI layer for portability.
- Introduced ./configure mechanism.
- Dropped --direct option for portability reasons.
- Changed behaviour of continuing the reading of incomplete images;
if the image size is smaller than the medium size, reading will
now continue at the last read sector. Previous versions would have
tried all unread sectors before.
- Fixed a bug which would not fill in the missing sector markers
on a sequence of non overlapping read intervals (such as doing
-r0-100000; -r110000-media_end; the range 100001-109999 would
have been simply zeroed out in previous versions).
0.42.2: 23-09-2004
- changed the --fix semantics so that sectors with wrong CRC sums
will automatically be fixed (previous versions would just report
them as bad when using the -t option)
- made --fix more verbose about CRC errors
0.42.1: 11-09-2004
- unrolled the inner codec loop; optimized some C expressions within
- code cleanup in the encoder
0.42.0: (no public release)
- changed the caching and code generation strategy in the RS encoder
- added program version information in the ecc file header
- updated the --print option to show the new header information
- made --fix option reject .ecc files from future program versions
0.41.2: 05-09-2004
- some speed optimizations in the encoder
- the --direct option now actually works
- removed the #ifdef DEBUG clutter in ecc-rs01.c
- added the --byteset debugging function
NOTE: Debugging functions are intentionally undocumented and unsupported.
0.41.1: 31-08-2004
- added CRC32 checksum for each image block in the .ecc file
0.41.0: 28-08-2004 (no public release)
- Replaced the matrix-based codec with one using polynomials.
0.40.8: 24-08-2004 (no public release)
- removed unused div_tab[] from ecc-rs01.c (which was incorrectly initialized anyways)
- fixed md5sum miscompare in print.c
- added the --random-errors debugging function
NOTE: Debugging functions are intentionally undocumented and unsupported.
0.40.7: 22-08-2004
First public release
