-- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 22 Jun 2000
abcde 1.1.1

-- 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

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

handle multiple inexact matches as well. (Thanks again to Robert Macaulay)
-- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Thu, 12 Aug 1999
cdgrab 0.7.6

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.

Norris for tracking this down.
-- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 13 Jul 1999
cdgrab 0.7.4

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

-- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Sun, 23 May 1999
cdgrab 0.7.2

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.

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

cdgrab 0.4
* Added ALBUMFILE, fixed manpage reference to it
* Deletes editor backups from 'cdgrab -e' automagically

handle formats like Artist/TrackName_Number.mp3
-- Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org> Tue, 16 Mar 1999
cdgrab 0.3
