Release summary: (detailed descriptions in Edit History in matcd.c)
Adds support for non-Sound Blaster host adapters, including those
distributed by Reveal, Lasermate, IBM, Media Vision, Crystal and others.
The driver automatically senses the correct adapter type and you can
have both in the system at the same time.
(This change should eliminate a few complaints.)
Corrected bit-masking problem that prevented use on SB Vibra-16 boards.
Declared some internal data and functions static that should have been
that way all along.
Documentation changes reflect the new hardware support and change the
appearance version to 2.0.5 (was 2.1). Nice and tidy. :-)
Beta testers have verified functionality on SB16, Vibra-16, Media Vision
and Reveal adapters. -Wall still shows no warnings.

Someone wants to switch all drivers from disklabel and its assorted mechanisms over to disk slicing and its mechanisms, but I was unable to find any useful documentation on how to implement the changes for a read-only, single-partition, removable (ie, partition can change size) device.

This would be useful if you have any CD+G or CD+MIDI discs, but the demand for this is pretty low, unless you like Karaoke. Someone will also have to write a CD+G viewer for X. The code for the driver to add this is pretty minor but there aren't any precedents on how to handle the data transfer to the application. -4. Support for reading the ISBN and UPC labels.

My vision here was to add an ioctl that caused a track offset to be inserted into block requests, effectively shifting the base to the specified track. Very easy to add but not a big deal since I have only two discs in my collection that have multiple data tracks and I mastered one of them. -7. A curses-based CD-Player app (ie, not X).

It was pretty annoying not finding a single application that actually issued all the defined ioctls, let alone any new ones. |
