Many bugfixes were made. Several updates to match
the Linux kernel were made. When using an MMC
drive, cdparanoia now attempts to set the DAP bit
to request that CD-ROM drives should use hardware
interpolation to reconstruct over completely
destroyed samples. The cdparanoia tool is now
licensed under the GPLv3, the libraries under the
LGPLv3.
Kenwood TruX drives work faster. End-of-track read
problems on a number of drives have been
alleviated. There is a new -z command syntax with
an option argument to allow a skip after a
user-configurable number of tries. There are more
possible read commands to autoprobe. Support for
Linux SCSI Generic 3.x interface has been added,
and support for <= 2.0 kernels has been dropped.
Starting a new rip will not potentially stall in
autoprobe until the previous rip finishes. A
segfault that occurred when a device wasn't found
has been fixed. Proper /devfs detection in 2.2-2.4
(with or w/o devfsd) has been added.
Sample-granulairy offset is allowed.
The 'ac-' patches to kernel series 2.2.x add a new SG
driver by Douglas Gilbert. Unfortunately, the new driver
breaks cdparanoia 9.4, this has been fixed in version 9.5.
