Many thanks to (in alphabetical order): Pablo Almeida (pabloalmeidaff9@gmail.com) provides and maintains the Portuguese translation. Harald Bögeholz (hwb@heise.de) provided a lot of insightful discussions on CD/DVD data recovery and Reed-Solomon error correction. The "adaptive read strategy" in dvdisaster is based upon his suggestions and ideas; he had implemented a similar strategy before and published in issue 16/2005 of the german periodical "c't". Jesus Cea for keeping the project alive and providing hosting for the project Paul Dicker (@pitdicker on GitHub) for porting the codebase from GTK2 to GTK3. Julian Einwag (julian@einwag.de). provides and maintains the Mac OS X / Darwin port. Igor Gorbounov (igorbounov@topazelectro.ru) provides and maintains the Russian translation. Andrei Grecu (andrei.grecu@aon.at) provided an algorithm for recovering defective CD sectors from multiple incomplete RAW reading attempts. Phil Karn wrote an excellent library for creating and decoding Reed-Solomon codes. This project draws a lot of inspiration - and even code - from his library which can be found at http://www.ka9q.net/code/fec/ Since the code was optimized and trimmed down for dvdisaster´s special needs, you should get the original thing if you're interested in incorporating RS codes into your application. Stéphane Lesimple for keeping the project alive in his own GIT repository, and for supplying patches, enhancements and the Windows version. Daniel Nylander (info@danielnylander.se) provides and maintains the Swedish translation. Andrea Polverini (polve@polve.com) provides and maintains the Italian translation. Jindřich Šesták took over the Czech translation since version 0.79.3. Luboš Staněk (lubek@users.sourceforge.net) provided and maintained the Czech translation up to version 0.72.3. Sergey Svishchev (svs@ropnet.ru) provided the NetBSD port. A lot of other people provided additional suggestions and bug reports; see the CHANGELOG file for details.
