v1.4.0

ARver-1.4.0 release notes

This release was supposed to contain more features, but recently I've had little time and energy to devote to this project. I'm making this release now so that the two requested features are not stuck in a pre-release limbo anymore.

New features

• It is possible to select the CD drive used by arver and arver-discinfo.

  • It appears some people still have more than one optical drive in their machines.
  • -d/--drive option can be used to select the device (e.g. /dev/sr0).

• arver can guess disc TOC from audio file lengths.

  • -t/--track-lengths option enables guessing the disc TOC from file lengths.
  • -P/--pregap-length and -D/--data-length can be used to provide the length of track one pregap and of the Enhanced CD data track, if known from another source.
  • Please see "Verification without a physical disc" section in README.md for details.

Thanks to @themaddoctor for requesting these features and helping to test them.

Bug fixes

More network errors should now be gracefully handled without crashing.

Behind the scenes

• Provide just one pre-built wheel targeting Python 3.7 and newer, instead of separate wheels for each supported Python version.
• Set up automated testing with GitHub Actions.
• Add more tests.
