Change history:
===============


Ver 1.3 released Fri Sep 30 12:32:10 PDT 1994
---------------------------------------------
CD-ROM drive support changes:
    - Added support for the DEC RRD43 CD-ROM drive.

OS Support changes:
    - IBM AIX 4.x is now supported.
    - Fixed a misplaced line in libdi.d/configure.sh that caused
      the default device node path to be set wrong under the IBM AIX
      and DEC OSF/1 environments.
    - Added improved instructions for DG/UX, and corrected the default
      CD-ROM device node path in configure.sh.
    - The configure.sh script now will set up the XMcd*cddbMailCmd
      parameter as well, based on the OS variant.
    - The configure.sh now prompts the user before creating any
      X library symbolic links from non-standard locations to /usr/lib
      on SVR4 systems.

Misc changes:
    - Added an xmcd Options sub-window which allows run-time toggle
      of many of the feature options in the device.cfg file.  The
      Options window also includes a Channel Routing selector, a
      Volume Control Taper selector and a stereo Balance slider
      control (these can be used on CD-ROM drives that has the
      appropriate capabilities).
    - Added a Track Warp feature in the xmcd Keypad subwindow.  This
      allows fast searches to any part of a track using a slider.
      In conjunction with the keypad, this allows very easy access
      to any arbitrary CD location.  A similar feature is added to
      cda, where the "cda play" command now accepts an optional
      mm:ss offset argument if a track number is also specified.
    - Added a new Repeat Count Indicator in the xmcd main window
      display area.  This shows the number of iteration completed
      when playing audio with the Repeat mode enabled.  Likewise,
      a Repeat Count field is added to the "cda status" output.
    - Added support for the following cda commands: "balance"
      to set the stereo channel balance, and "route" to set the
      channel routing.
    - The Disc ID indicator in the xmcd CDDB/Program window now
      displays the CD category as well as the disc ID number.
      Likewise, the "cda toc" command now displays the category
      under the "Disc ID" heading as well.
    - The xmcd database Link feature CD list now displays the
      average track offset difference between the current CD and
      each potential database match.  Those entries that are
      within 10 seconds are now listed with bold font.  This
      enhancement is based on code contributed by Andreas Zins
      (zins@forwiss.uni-erlangen.de).
    - Fixed a bug which causes xmcd to generate an X protocol error
      if the XMcd*cddbMailCmd resource is improperly set and the
      Send button is used.
    - The XMcd*cddbMailCmd resource now uses %S, %A and %F to denote
      the mail subject, mail address and CD database file path,
      respectively.  This makes it easier to configure xmcd to work
      with different mailers.
    - Fixed a bug where the track list display in the CDDB subwindow
      was being duplicated when a disc which is not in the database
      is inserted and ejected.
    - Fixed a typo in the xmcd.d/cfgtbl/Pioneer file which caused
      Pioneer not to appear in the xmcd configure.sh menu.
    - Increased the string buffer used in common_parminit() in
      xmcd.d/cdfunc.c so that longer CD database directory paths
      can be accommodated.
    - The "caddyLock" parameter is now in device.cfg instead of
      common.cfg.  Thus, it is now configurable on a per-device
      basis.
    - Added the balanceControlSupport, channelRouteSupport and
      channelRoute parameters to device.cfg.  Enhanced the configure.sh
      script to set up these parameters based on CD-ROM drive brand
      and model.
    - Fixed libdi.d/configure.sh to not put a backslash in the
      app-defaults/XMcd file (it was writing "XMcd\*libdir:", but
      it should be "XMcd*libdir:").
    - Added support for editres(1) in xmcd.  The code is enabled if
      compiled with -DEDITRES in the xmcd.d directory under X11R5 or
      later.  This feature is contributed by Andreas Zins
      (zins@forwiss.uni-erlangen.de).
    - The "cda status cont" command now supports a sub-argument
      "secs" to allow the user to specify the display update time
      interval in seconds.  The default is now 1 second.
    - The "cda extinfo" command now always displays the disc extended
      info, then followed by the track extended info of the currently
      playing track, if any.  If "cda extinfo track#" is specified,
      then the specified track extended info is displayed instead.
    - The xmcd/cda -debug option was ineffective if the user has a
      $HOME/.xmcdcfg/common.cfg file with the debugMode parameter
      set to False.  This is now fixed.
    - Added "blues" and "country" to the default CD categories list.
    - If using the GNU X compiler (gcc), it is no longer required
      to specify the -fwritable-strings option.
    - Other enhancements and cleanups.


Ver 1.2 released Wed Jul 27 12:34:29 PDT 1994
---------------------------------------------
CD-ROM drive support changes:
    - Fixed to really work with the Chinon CD-43x drives.
    - Add support for the Plextor 4Plex and the NEC CDR-900 (4xPro).

OS Support changes:
    - Add support for Apple A/UX, Data General DG/UX and Stratus
      FTX SVR4/PA-RISC platforms.
    - Enhancements to the DEC OSF/1 and Ultrix error handling.
    - On Solaris 2.x platforms, added support for the -c, -X and
      -o options for full compatibility with the Solaris Volume
      Manager auto-start feature using the action_workman.so
      program.

Misc changes:
    - Major source code tree re-organization into subdirectories.
    - "Makefile.std" files are added to the source code distribution.
      These can be used to build the source code on systems that do
      not have imake.
    - Added a new utility "cda" to the distribution.  This is a
      command-line driven (non-X) audio CD player.  The command
      interface makes it ideal as a script-driven player.
    - A new "Send" button is added to the xmcd CDDB/Program window.
      This allows users to send the CD database entry of the currently
      loaded CD to the xmcd CD database archive site.
    - The "Play Program" button in the CDDB/Program window has been
      deleted.  The main window "Play/Pause" button is used to
      start program playback instead.  This change also involves a
      few other minor program-mode related behavioral changes.
    - Many common configuration parameters have been moved from
      XMcd.ad into the new common.cfg file.
    - The device-specific configuration file has been renamed from
      dev.config to device.cfg.
    - Added two new device-specific parameters that can be set to
      suit user preferences: "playOnLoad" determines whether xmcd
      will auto-play a CD after loading, and "ejectOnDone" determines
      whether xmcd will automatically eject the CD after it's done
      playing.
    - The CD now does not spin down between tracks when using the
      prev-track or next-track buttons in shuffle and program modes.
    - Xmcd (and cda) no longer silently ignore the error if the
      common or device-specific configuration file cannot be opened.
    - Fixed a few obscure problems involving the use of various
      xmcd controls when the player is in shuffle or program mode
      and the playback is paused.
    - If a CD has multiple links in the database, xmcd no longer
      displays duplicate lines in the Link Selector list menu.
      Also, the list menu sorting is now case-insensitive.
    - All window sizes have been reduced to conserve screen space.
    - The XMcd*mainShowTrackTitle, XMcd*mainShowDiscTitle and
      XMcd*cddbTimeShowLength X resources have been removed.  The
      built-in behavior is equivalent to setting these to True.
    - The install.sh and configure.sh scripts now have error message
      logging capability.
    - A new makeshar.sh script is added to the distribution that
      makes shar format xmcd source code releases.
    - Security improvements: the uid and gid settings are forced to
      their original settings regardless of whether SETUID_ROOT is
      defined.
    - Other enhancements and cleanups.


Ver 1.1 released Fri Feb 25 18:40:36 PST 1994
---------------------------------------------
CD-ROM drive support changes:
    - Add support for more SCSI-2 CD-ROM drives from Chinon, Hitachi,
      NEC, Pioneer, Procom, Sony and Toshiba.
    - Added support for Apple, Chinon and Sony SCSI-1 CD-ROM drives
      operating using vendor-unique commands.
    - Fixed problems in the Pioneer vendor-unique support code.
    - Drive-specific configuration data (previously hard coded in
      configure.sh) is now looked up in table files under the
      LIBDIR/xmcd/config/.tbl directory.
    - On SCSI-2 drives, the REW, FF and Sample operations will now use
      Play Audio MSF command by default, if the playAudioMSFSupport
      parameter is True.  In xmcd-1.0, these operations were supported
      only with the Play Audio(10) or Play Audio (12) commands.
    - A new curposFormat device-specific parameter is added to
      specify whether the CD-ROM drive supports Data Format 1 (CD-ROM
      Current Position) of the Read Subchannel SCSI-2 command.
    - The volumeControlSetDBD device-specific parameter is renamed to
      modeSenseSetDBD.

OS Support changes:
    - Added support for DEC Ultrix and OSF/1 on DECstations and DEC
      Alpha AXP.
    - Added support for Linux on Intel x86 platforms.
    - Added support for IBM AIX on the RS/6000.
    - Added support for SGI IRIX on SGI workstations.
    - HP-UX specific code is now conditionally compiled via
      #ifdef __hpux instead of #ifdef hpux.  This is because the HP cc
      compiler pre-defines the former but not the latter in ANSI mode
      (-Ae).
    - Changed a "struct inquiry_data" to "struct inqry_data" in
      di_scsipt.h to avoid conflict with "union inquiry_data" in HP-UX's
      <sys/scsi.h>.
    - Support for Solaris 2.x platforms is improved.  Added code to
      coexist with the Solaris Volume Manager.
    - The configure.sh script has been improved such that on SVR4
      systems, it will attempt to create symlinks of shared library
      files to /usr/lib even if LIBDIR is set to a non-standard
      location.
    - Fixed to avoid a core dump in cd_untimeout() on some 64-bit
      systems.

Misc changes:
    - Source file names were changed to better illustrate their function.
    - Reordered a few stack structure declarations to fix alignment
      issues on some platforms.  This fixes a core dump and other
      failures when doing FF and REW operations on those systems.
    - Improved CD database files permissions handling.
    - Added a -debug command line option.  When used, xmcd will generate
      verbose diagnostics about the commands it sends and the data it
      receives from the CD-ROM drive.
    - Added XMcd.mainShowDiscTitle and XMcd.mainShowTrackTitle X
      application resources.  When set to True, these will cause xmcd
      to display the artist/disc title and currently playing track title
      in the main window display area, respectively.  The default
      settings for these are True.  For those who prefer the simpler
      appearance of xmcd-1.0, you can set either or both of these
      resources to False.
    - Added XMcd.cddbTimeShowLength X application resource.  When set
      to True, the default CDDB Track List time display mode will be
      "track lengths" instead of "track offsets".
    - A new exitOnEject device-specific parameter is added which, if
      set to True, causes xmcd to exit when a CD is ejected.  Likewise,
      the new closeOnEject parameter causes xmcd to close the device on
      eject, and re-open when the CD is re-loaded.
    - The CD database disc ID is now shown on the CDDB window.
    - A watch cursor is now displayed when xmcd is doing CD database
      file I/O.
    - A wm2xmcd utility is now included in the xmcd distribution that
      converts WorkMan CD database files to xmcd format.
    - Other enhancements and cleanups.


Ver 1.0 released Mon Nov 08 11:02:00 PST 1993
