[Pkg-libburnia-devel] libburnia-1.3.8 released

[Thomas Schmitt]

Hi,

libburnia project is pleased to announce the release of version 1.3.8:

libburn,    a burn backend library for CD, DVD and BD.
cdrskin,    a burn backend binary with a command line interface
            compatible to cdrecord.
libisofs,   a library for creation and manipulation of ISO 9660
            filesystems.
libisoburn, a library which coordinates libburn and libisofs
            to allow multi-session on all random access readable
            media and file objects.
xorriso,    an integrated ISO 9660 multi-session tool with
            additional emulation of mkisofs.

System requirements:
- Linux   : kernel 2.4 or newer, libc, libpthread
- FreeBSD : libc, libpthread, IDE and SATA drives need atapicam
- Solaris : libc, libpthread
- NetBSD  : libc, libpthread
- on other X/Open systems there will be no direct operation of
  CD/DVD/BD drives, but only POSIX i/o which may or may not
  be offered by the system for DVD-RAM, DVD+RW, or BD-RE.
  

Changes:

libburn learned to operate optical drives and media on NetBSD. libisofs got
a bug fix about HFS+ and enhancements about character set conversion.
Minor bugs were fixed in libisoburn. xorriso can now find files with names
which cannot be represented unchanged in ECMA-119, Joliet, or HFS+. 

libburn novelties:
* Bug fix: Wrong stack usage caused SIGBUS on sparc when compiled by gcc -O2
* Bug fix: Minimum drive buffer fill was measured by cdrskin before the buffer
           could get full
* Bug fix: A failed MMC BLANK command did not cause error indication by libburn
* Bug fix: A final fsync(2) was performed with stdio drives, even if not
           desired

cdrskin novelties:
- none

libisofs novelties:
* Bug fix: Prevent allocation of empty hash tables. Thanks Richard Nolde.
* Bug fix: Prevent allocation of empty directory children lists.
           Thanks Richard Nolde.
* Bug fix: The GUIDs of main GPT and backup GPT differed if more than one
           System Area was written into the ISO image.
* New API calls iso_image_report_el_torito() and iso_image_report_system_area()
* New API call iso_crc32_gpt()

libisoburn novelties:
* New API calls isoburn_igopt_set_stdio_endsync() and
          isoburn_igopt_get_stdio_endsync

xorriso novelties:
* Bug fix: -boot_image grub grub2_mbr= did not work
           (but -as mkisofs --grub2-mbr did work)
* Bug fix: -boot_image grub2_mbr=  prevented -boot_image partition_table=on
* Bug fix: libburn: A final fsync(2) was performed with stdio drives,
                    even if -stdio_sync was set to "off".
* Bug fix: libburn: Wrong stack usage caused SIGBUS on sparc when compiled
                    by gcc -O2
* Bug fix: -blank force:all on DVD+RW had no effect
* Enabled use of libedit as alternative to libreadline
* Enabled recording and restoring of extattr on NetBSD
* New bootspecs hppa_*, new -as mkisofs options -hppa-* for HP-PA via PALO
* New -find pseudo tests -use_pattern , -or_use_pattern
* New -find action report_sections
* New command -concat
* New commands -report_system_area and -report_el_torito
