[Libcdio-devel] libcdio-2.1.0-rc1 available for testing (Was OpenBSD vs libcdio vs Audacious)

[Rocky Bernstein]

libcdio 2.1.0 release candidate 1 is now available for testing. It is a
bzip2'd tar file libcdio-2.1.0rc1.tar.bz2 from bashdb.sourceforge.net as in

wget http://bashdb.sf.net/libcdio-2.1.0rc1.tar.bz2
or:
curl -o libcdio-2.1.0rc1.tar.bz2
http://bashdb.sf.net/libcdio-2.1.0rc1.tar.bz2

I made a round of lint and valgrind fixes. If I don't hear problems back
wiithin a relatively short time, I'll release probably early next week. If
I can't make before Easter/Passover then there will probably be a big
delay.

*Thomas Schmitt and Edd Barrett -*

Please especially look over NEWS.md to see that I haven't missed anything
or misrepresented the great work you have done over the last year or so.

Here is the excerpt from NEWS.md:

- FreeBSD and NetBSD driver fixes. Switch from MSF addressing to LBA
addressing in driver. (Edd Barrett and Jasper Lievisse Adriaanse)
- Fix handling in drivers,libcdio-paranoia and `cd-info` when starting
track number is greater than 1. (Thomas Schmitt)
- More tolerant of non-compliant ISOs such as openSUSE Leap 15.0
- `cdda-player` fixes, such as adding a missing `-d` in cdd-player help
(Thomas Schmitt and Edd Barrett)
- `cdtext_list_languages_v2()` to be preferred over now deprecated
`cdtext_list_languages()`. New API call `cdtext_set_language_index()`.
(Thomas Schmitt)
- Add `read-disc-struct` example program to show how to use a MMC
`DVD_READ_DISC_STRUCTURE`. (Thomas Schmitt)
- Various errors in driver reading turned into warnings. (Thomas Schmitt)
- Some code cleanups and documentation improvements
- Bugs:
 * [Bug 53170: I/O leak when we can't read ISO file ](
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?53170)
 * [Bug 53928: Cdtext not displayed in case of `CDTEXT_LANGUAGE_UNKNOWN`](
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?3929)
 * [Bug 53929: cd-text with invalid characters failing to convert to utf8](
