Thanks to everyone for making this a very successful beta test. OmniCD now enters 0.6 beta; there is no word on how long this beta phase will last... (Version 1.0 will be the first non-beta version. Well, hopefully.) For more info or to download, see http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniCD/ (You can download directly from ftp://ftp.omnigroup.com/pub/software/OmniCD.0.6.NIHS.b.tar.gz) Please report bugs or send requests to omnicd@omnigroup.com. Changes: - Works on at least some ATAPI drives, though not quite optimally (most device info is not read, and manual opens won't work the first time). Should be quite acceptable for the average user, however. - Very different UI borrowing heavily from the 3.x NEXTIME. (Includes a 2-bit gray look which looks more like a standard NeXTstep app.) - App icon control panel may be disabled: dwrite OmniCD UseControlIcon NO - Remembers volume settings between sessions. - Can read CD digital audio from Plextor CDROM drives (NeXT hardware only*). - Will attempt to read CD digital audio from Sony/Matshita/Apple and Plextor CDROM drives on non-NeXT hardware even though it will frequently (always?) fail (used to refuse to try on other architectures)*. - Advanced users can edit the deviceInfo.dict file inside the app wrapper to add support for reading CD digital audio from additional CDROM drives. The format and data are fairly self-explanatory; email me if you have questions. Also, if you have success extending the number of supported CDROM drives, please let me know and send me the appropriate entry. This will not work for all drive types; some require extra support and must therefore be dealt with internally via a special subclass rather than by an entry in deviceInfo.dict. *These may work on non-Adaptec 2940 or BusLogic SCSI cards, but I am unable to test them. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who can test CDDA extraction with other configurations.

The major difference between this version and 0.6, and the reason a new version is being released, is that recording CD digital audio over the SCSI bus is now supported on Intel boxes. (Hopefully SPARC and PA-RISC as well, but that's untested.) Thanks go to Tomas Hurka for finding my error. (Recording from a Plextor 8Plex is nice and speedy...) For more info or to download, see http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniCD/ (You can download directly from ftp://ftp.omnigroup.com/pub/software/OmniCD.0.6.1.NIHS.b.tar.gz) Please report bugs or send requests to omnicd@omnigroup.com. --- OmniCD is a NeXTstep application for controlling the audio functions of SCSI CDROM drives. It has some non-perfect support for ATAPI devices, but they aren't supported, and volume control will not work; neither will CD digital audio recording. (Feel free to file bug reports, however.) OmniCD serves as a replacement for NeXT's CDPlayer application. The primary reasons for using this application rather than CDPlayer are that it can be controlled via the app icon, and with certain cdrom drives it can record the audio directly over the SCSI bus and into a sound file. Please note: OmniCD requires the Foundation Kit (see the installation instructions below). OmniCD is free, but is currently in early (so to speak) beta form. Omni is not responsible for any damage that may occur as a result of using this software. This application does have fairly low level access to the hardware, and it's conceivable that it could cause system crashes with certain hardware combinations, especially when recording. Please keep in mind that this is a work in progress, and bear with the incomplete nature of this application. However, please do report bugs, feature requests and general comments, especially to note non-working hardware combinations, and to note which bugs/features/etc are most important to you. Changes for version 0.6.1: * Recording is now supported on Intel from CDROM drives which use 12-byte reads, currently Sony/Matshita/Apple and Plextor. May also work on SPARC and HPPA, but that's untested. (Thanks to Tomas Hurka.) * Control icon has minor tweaks to give it a bit of depth. (Thanks to Rene Berber.) * deviceInfo.dict file format improved somewhat. You can now specify specific models and firmware revisions. See the file for more info and examples. * Disabled CDDA transfers for Sony CDU-541 (the NeXT CDROM drive), Sony CDW-900E, and Toshiba XM-4101TA. These are reported to not support CDDA transfers.

Ken Release notes for 3.0 beta 3: * Faster (though still nowhere close to being optimized). - Subthreads don't have to lock the main thread as often (we now maintain a thread-safe font cache). - When subthreads do have to lock the main thread, it responds to their requests much more quickly. - Tooltip support is much more efficient. * HTML Display - Fixed the exception which (on some pages) would cause background layout errors to be reported to the console repeatedly (until the app was terminated or the system disk filled up from the huge console log). - Scroll bars should now always appear when they should. - The height of side-aligned images and tables is now correctly taken into account when determining the size of a table cell or an html page. - Side-aligned images and tables at the end of a page (or table cell) now display properly. - Side-aligned images and tables now obey the left and right margins. - Font sizes are rounded to the nearest integer, to avoid triggering a bug in the NSText suite's selection mechanism which occurs when the text contains fonts of non-integer sizes. * Preferences - Split Preferences into User Preferences and Administrator Preferences. - Added animated gif preferences. - Added gamma correction setting for HTML colors. - HTML Source now has several new settings, including one which allow you to distinguish between mismatched tags and unrecognized tags. * Bookmarks - Fixed dragging within a bookmarks file. - Fixed a bug where double-clicking on a new entry made closing not work properly. * Miscellaneous - Browser windows with timed refreshes no longer make themselves the main window when the refresh kicks in. - The source view no longer crashes when you type a quotation mark within a tag without another quotation mark following it somewhere within the HTML source. - We now prompt for a directory when saving all image links on a page. - Made the document inspector's outline view no longer be editable. - file: URLs pointing at directories now work properly. - Added very primitive support for news: URLs. - When sending mail (by messaging the local mail application), we convert newlines into spaces in the subject line. - Fixed a crasher in GIF processing. - Fixed a bug in frame targetting when the target was up more than one level. - The splash panel no longer forces itself to the front of the screen when OmniWeb isn't the active application. - Built the Rhapsody version for multiple architectures, so it can run on both Rhapsody/PowerPC and (untested) on Rhapsody/Intel.

See http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniDNSHelper/ for more information and to download, or you can download the app directly from ftp://ftp.omnigroup.com/pub/software/OmniDNSHelper/. -andrew Release notes for 1.0 beta 3: * Added support for the Intel version of the Rhapsody Developer Release. (untested) * Modified to tiptoe around an authentication bug in NetInfo which was causing a crash in previous versions. It turns out that if you have a flat netinfo hierarchy (local netinfo domain == root netinfo domain), once you hit the Authenticate button on the authentication panel, the app crashes (strcpy with a null parameter). It works fine if your netinfo domain isn't flat. Fortunately, if you are root and you are editing a local domain then authentication is automatic, so I bypassed the authentication panel if you are in this situation. If you aren't root and you have a flat netinfo hierarchy, I simply stick up an error panel informing you that you can't save changes. The upshot? You're best off just going ahead and running this app as root. (Warning: don't make this app setuid root as then anyone can make modifications at will.).

This source/product organization system also makes it easy to develop with remote source trees, and allows you to backup project source without backing up large, reproducable products. * Fixes several bugs with .DEF file generation under NT, allowing functions and other symbols to be exported by frameworks properly. * Increases application performance by setting framework base addresses, and avoiding dynamic relocation at run-time. * Provides an easy way to set framework installation paths without actually installing frameworks. This is very useful when the default installation strategy (copying the product from one location to another) doesn't fit the installation model well. * Provides convenience targets for updating projects and project components from the source repository. * Enforces compilation with full warnings enabled, rather than the default setting which lets some legitimate warnings slip by unannounced. * Automatically makes explicit references to symbols in each of the omnimake-built frameworks, ensuring that those frameworks get loaded at application run-time. This is necessary on NT. * Suppresses unnecessary build output, letting you see errors and warnings as easily as possible. * Completely disables "clone headers", a feature which we found to be more troublesome than not. Replaces this mechanism with a simple copy operation. * Provides targets for creating optimized, debug builds--something you cannot do with the default Apple Makefiles. * Fixes several bugs which appear when trying to compile a common codebase on all supported OPENSTEP and PDO platforms.

OOA is a tool that helps you easily locate and fix memory related problems in your application. Currently this includes leaked objects, prematurely freed objects and inefficient allocation of objects. Future versions will add other abilities including tracking non-object blocks of memory (allocated with NSZoneMalloc and friends) and an array of memory usage optimization tools. The first beta currently supports OpenStep/Mach Intel 4.2 and Rhapsody/RDR Intel. Support for Rhapsody/RDR PPC will be available very soon (it was working, but some recent Mach-O reading optimizations seem to have broken it -- possibly byte ordering related).

Rather, please send them directly to ooa@omnigroup.com. There will certainly be bugs (check out the Known Bugs page) and we shouldn't dilute the signal on any of these lists with talk about this beta software. The obvious exceptions to this are if you find a bug AND a workaround, or if you find a leak in a vendor supplied framework and you want to supply the rest of the world with a source patch to fix the problem. NOTE: Notices about followup releases to this software will likely be made ONLY on the 'omninews@omnigroup.com' list. This includes the announcement about support for PPC.
