Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! - a CDemu 1.0.0 Release!

December 24th, 2007

This is CDemu 1.0.0, a CD/DVD drive emulator for Linux.

Features:

• New design - pushed everything possible to userspace.
• Thin kernel layer (should be more stable & maintainable).
• .B6T, .CCD, .CDI, .CUE, .ISO, .MDS, .NRG, .TOC support.
• Command line & GUI clients.

This release was brought mainly by Rok Mandeljc. We would like also introduce Chia-I Wu who contributed a new kernel module (vhba).

Why 1.0.0? Is it stable? Is it over?

CDemu 1.0.0 is based on completly new design (quite diffrent from 0.8.0), so it deserves major version number change. It's stable (of course we couldn't test everything - please post bug reports).

We have done a massive release initiated by Henrik Stokseth who among other things prepared packages for Ubuntu.

Current design should be far more friendly for both users & developers. Most of the project is in userspace now and a vhba module is thin and based on (more mature) SCSI driver. We hope that this means less hassle with constantly evolving Linux kernel.

Please, read about different parts of CDemu project to find more.

Tell me it ain't so...

That's right, the web page has changed! The layout has been shamelessly based on CSS/Edge.

The page is still being worked on, but at the end of it, it will hopefully include all the information you'll need to set up cdemu.

Speaking of which, you can expect an official release coming around before the end of this year...
