abcde 1.9.2

* The "Very Long Changelog Entries Can Become Addicting" Release.
* Switched default output type to ogg, default encoder to oggenc
* Since 1.9.x prompts for CDDB edits by default there is now a -N switch
  for non-interactivity.
* Handles cddb entries with random sprinklings of CR's and LF's
* You can now specify niceness for the reader and encoders, thanks to
  Kevin Everets <kevin.everets@alcatel.com>
* -j 0 will now disable local encoding, thanks to Antonio Fiol
  <Antonio.FIOL@enst-bretagne.fr>
* Vorbize should actually work now, thanks to Kevin Everets and James
  LewisMoss
* Oggenc/Vorbize commenting support
* Made TRACKNUM available for playlist generation
* Fleshed out the TODO list a bit more
* mungefilename() now translates ':' to ' -' by default. Rationale: You
  can't put ':' on a FAT filesystem. It also wreaks havoc with Samba.

* The "Don't Fraun" Release.
* Fixed a half-dozen minor buglets
* A little less debug output, a lot more normal output

    completely untested

abcde 1.9

* The "" Release.
* Completely redone tmpfile handling, abcde can now continue where you left
  off. closes: #42970, #50883, #66668
* Restructured program execution scheduling around central status file
* Moved cddb-tool interactivity to abcde, 'cddb-tool get' no longer exists,
  it is now 'cddb-tool query' and 'cddb-tool read'.
* Removed -e, -v, and -V, since abcde will now prompt you if you want to
  edit or otherwise muck with the data after you have a chance to see it.

abcde 1.1.1

* The "That wasn't chicken" release.
* Remote distributed encoding had a bad bug in 1.1 - work to be done

  -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org>  Tue, 16 Nov 1999

* Fixed some output issues regarding background encoding that cropped up in
  0.8.3

  -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org>  Sun,  7 Nov 1999

abcde 0.8.4

* New name. A Better CD Encoder. cdgrab was already taken - the original
  cdgrab name belongs to a CDDA reading program for DOS dating back to
  1993. It's still in use and active development, so I'm changing the
  name of cdgrab instead. See this URL for a description of the original
  cdgrab: http://www.scn.rain.com/pub/cdrom/cdgrab.txt

  Your old /etc/cdgrab.conf and/or ~/.cdgrab.conf can simply be
  renamed to /etc/abcde.conf and ~/.abcde.conf.

  The program name is now 'abcde'.

  -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org>  Tue,  2 Nov 1999

cdgrab 0.8.3

* cdgrab 0.7 through 0.8.2 would leave around cdgrab.xxxxxx
  tempfiles with -j. Fixed that.

cdgrab 0.8.2

* Added cddb-tool manpage

  -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org>  Sun, 10 Oct 1999

  -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org>  Sun, 19 Sep 1999

cdgrab 0.8

* Fixed a bug where if multiple tracks (but not the entire CD) was
  specificed explicitly, cdgrab would loop forever after the first track
* Now uses Debian's sensible-editor wrapper if available
* Merged in patches from Nathaniel J Smith that puts cddb lookup
  functionality in a separate script, cddb-tool
* Adds WAVOUTPUTDIR environment variable for those running out of space in
  OUTPUTDIR.

  -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org>  Thu, 26 Aug 1999

cdgrab 0.7.7

* Yet another quick fix to finish what 0.7.6 started - cdgrab should now
  handle multiple inexact matches as well. (Thanks again to Robert Macaulay)

  -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org>  Thu, 12 Aug 1999

cdgrab 0.7.6

* Another quick bugfix release - hopefully this will handle inexact matches
  properly now. (Thank you Robert Macaulay :)

  -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org>  Mon,  9 Aug 1999

cdgrab 0.7.5

* Quick bugfix release - with any luck I can start on 0.8 soon :)
* **** YOU WILL NEED TO EDIT CDGRAB.CONF **** if you use lame as
  /usr/bin/lamer. The default program name is now 'lame' as of lame v3.0.
  If you don't want to touch your lame installation, put the following in
  your cdgrab.conf: "LAME=lamer"
* Omits -w from cdparanoia commands
* Depends on cdparanoia-bin or cdparanoia now - this accomodates the recent
  cdparanoia package namechange.
* Fixed a stealth-whitespace typo at line 495. Thanks go to Gregory T.
  Norris for tracking this down.

  -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org>  Tue, 13 Jul 1999

cdgrab 0.7.4

* Now only uses the first match from a CDDB datafile for the track
  information, this works around a cddb glitch some of you may have
  hit last month
* Default config file now gets version number from program.
* added 'debug' option to CDROMREADERSYNTAX to get cdparanoia to only rip
  the first 5 seconds of a track. This is very useful to those debugging
  cdgrab, makes things go much faster. This will also prevent me releasing
  another 0.7.2 :)
* Now puts options last on the encoder command line if you are using
  bladeenc or l3enc, this should allow the proper use of these encoders
  with additional commandline options (thanks to Justin Hugh Daly for
  pointing this out)
* m3u PLAYLIST SUPPORT! Check out the new -p and -P options!

  -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org>  Mon,  7 Jun 1999

cdgrab 0.7.3

* Fixes wget calling method
* -l/LOWDISK documented
* Fixes the lowdisk #2 option so it exits cleanly

  -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org>  Sun, 23 May 1999

cdgrab 0.7.2

* Woops, left some debugging code in 0.7.1 - if you have truckloads of 80kb
  mp3's, try this :)

  -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org>  Sun, 16 May 1999

cdgrab 0.7.1

* LOWDISK/-l option added for those who don't have the disk space to run a
  parallelized session.
* MAXPROCS added to config file
* CDDB handling revisited - cdgrab should now properly handle CD's with
  multiple or inexact CDDB entries.

  -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org>  Fri, 14 May 1999

cdgrab 0.7

* Parallelizes ripping and encoding - this may take substantially more disk
  space temporarily (up to 500MB or so depending on how fast your CPU is
  compared to your cdrom drive) but cdgrab will be done with your CD
  much more quickly.
* Allows for SMP optimizations (multiple encoders running at once) with the
  new -j option
* Output fix for TOC printing
* cd-discid split off into it's own package

  -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org>  Fri,  7 May 1999

* Properly bombs out if CDDB can't come up with a match
  (without CDDB, you might as well use cdparanoia -B)

  -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org>  Thu, 18 Mar 1999

cdgrab 0.4

* Added ALBUMFILE, fixed manpage reference to it
* Deletes editor backups from 'cdgrab -e' automagically
  (I wish mutt did this :)
* Bombs out if there's no CD in the drive
* Bombs out if any necessary external programs don't exist
* Encourages people to use brackets for OUTPUTFORMAT variables to
  handle formats like Artist/TrackName_Number.mp3

  -- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org>  Tue, 16 Mar 1999

cdgrab 0.3

* Fixed one thinko in user preferences loading and another in the tagger

  command line, use 'cdgrab -d device' now to get the same result.
* Allows you to edit CDDB response data before using it (-e)
