<b>Help us testing!</b> This page contains experimental dvdisaster versions
|
|
which are created on the way to the next stable release.<p>
|
|
|
|
<b>A word of caution:</b> This version is still evolving and some parts
|
|
are not yet implemented. It may contain severe bugs and fail in non-obvious
|
|
ways, even in functions which worked in previous versions.
|
|
Do not process important data with this version and do not keep images and
|
|
error correction data for archival purposes;
|
|
that's what the <a href="download.html">stable version 0.72</a>
|
|
is for.

<h3>Planned changes in the new version</h3>
|
|
|
|
All platforms:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> Implement some small additions which have been put on hold
|
|
during the 0.72 development cycle. <i>[not yet started]</i></li>
|
|
<li> Remove obsolete functionality. <i>[completed]</i></li>
|
|
<li> Clean up source code and prepare for multithreading and multi core
|
|
processors. <i>[in progress]</i></li>
|
|
<li> Implement the multithreaded RS03 codec. <i>[in progress]</i></li>
|
|
<li> Document RS03 usage. <i>[not yet started]</i></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
Windows:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> Update the GTK+ toolkit and development system. <i>[completed]</i></li>
|
|
<li> Raise system requirements to Windows 2000 or newer (older
|
|
Windows releases are no longer supported by the development tools).
|
|
This makes support for ASPI drivers and splitting files into 2G
|
|
segments obsolete. <i>[completed]</i></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
MacOS:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> Update the GTK+ toolkit and provide more workarounds
|
|
for the graphical user interface. <i>[in progress]</i></li>
|
|
</ul>

<b>All platforms:</b> These releases contain major internal changes compared
|
|
to 0.72.x. Please use them carefully.<p>
|
|
|
|
<b>0.79.3</b> (21-Nov-2010)<br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>GNU/Linux: Starting with this version the SG_IO driver is used by default
|
|
for accessing optical drives; the previously used
|
|
CDROM_SEND_PACKET driver can be selected optionally.
|
|
Driver defaults were the other way around in previous versions;
|
|
but in recent Linux kernels the SG_IO driver provides better
|
|
compatibility.</li>
|
|
<li>Michael Klein provided Altivec optimization for the RS03 codec.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<b>0.79.2</b> (28-Feb-2010)<br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>A binary package for Mac OS X is available now. The Mac OS X
|
|
development environment has been updated; this removed some glitches
|
|
in the graphical user interface.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Development of the RS03 codec makes progress, but is far from being
|
|
finished yet.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<b>0.79.1</b> (07-Feb-2010)<br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The SCSI layer contains a workaround for buggy chipsets found in recent
|
|
drives. Starting a read or scan operation would case a system freeze with
|
|
such drives. The problem seems to be especially visible under Windows XP,
|
|
but other OS might expose similar failures.
|
|
Please test if these drives are working
|
|
now, and also report if some drives stopped working which were okay previously.</li>
|
|
<li>A reference implementation of the RS03 codec is
|
|
included. This version is only supplied so that interested people can
|
|
compare it against its <a href="download50.html">specification</a>.
|
|
Take care and do not use it for productive work. The final version will
|
|
be released with version 0.80.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<b>Windows:</b> All components of the development environment and the
|
|
supplied libraries have been updated. Please test whether the graphical
|
|
user interface and localization still work as expected.
