Hi,
libburnia project is pleased to announce the release of version 1.5.4:
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 perform multi-session on all random access readable
and writable 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
- OpenBSD : 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 offers new opportunities to influence drive speed.
libisofs got a bug fixed which under medium rare circumstances spoiled
zisofs production. libisofs switched to usage of libjte-2.0.0. Further it
can now write and read zisofs2 format, which enables compression of files
>= 4 GiB. When reading Joliet file trees, the names get stripped of their
version numbers by default. After loading metadata, libisofs can now tell
which directory tree was loaded and whether Rock Ridge is used.
libisoburn and xorriso make use of these new features.
xorriso can put out the data stream of -check_media to standard output. It
can restore files with many zero bytes as sparse files and it is able to
extract recognized boot images into data files on hard disk.
A new script xorriso-dd-target helps to put an ISO image onto an USB stick
without endangering valuable hard disk content.
Several rarely triggered bugs were fixed.
libburn and cdrskin novelties:
* Bug fix: Early SCSI commands from sg-linux.c were not logged
* New API call burn_drive_set_speed_exact()
* New API call burn_nominal_slowdown()
libisofs novelties:
* Bug fix: Large amounts of AAIP data or many long file names could cause with
zisofs an unreadable filesystem after the warning "Calculated and
written ECMA-119 tree end differ"
* Bug fix: Big-Endian MIPS Volume Header boot file size was rounded up to
full 2048. Thanks René Rebe.
* Bug fix: El Torito production failed if no catalog path is given and the
first boot image path contains no slash
* Bug fix: zisofs production was wrong on big-endian machines
* Bug fix: Apple Partition Map entries wrote uninitialized data
* Bug fix: Appended APM partitions without HFS+ production had start and size 1
* Switched to usage of libjte-2.0.0
* Implemented production and reading of zisofs2 for files larger than 4 GiB - 1
* New struct iso_zisofs_ctrl version 2
* New API call iso_stream_get_zisofs_par()
* New API call iso_stream_zisofs_discard_bpt()
* New API call iso_image_zisofs_discard_bpt()
* New flag bits 8 to 15 in API call iso_node_zf_by_magic()
* New API call iso_zisofs_ctrl_susp_z2()
* New API call iso_read_opts_set_joliet_map(), new default joliet_map=stripped
* New API calls iso_read_image_features_tree_loaded() and
iso_read_image_features_rr_loaded()
libisoburn novelties:
* Switched to usage of libjte-2.0.0
* Enabled recognition of zisofs by magic without zlib support
* New libisoburn extension options isoburn_ropt_map_joliet_stripped and
isoburn_ropt_map_joliet_unmapped
* New API call isoburn_ropt_get_tree_loaded()
xorriso novelties:
* Bug fix: -report_system_area as_mkisofs misrepresented GPT with appended
partition and forced boot flag as -part_like_isohybrid
* Bug fix: Boot catalog could get a wrong name if cat_path= is explicitely
given but not containing a slash character
* New helper script xorriso-dd-target
* New command -truncate_overwritable
* New -jigdo parameters "checksum_algorithm", "demand_checksum",
"-checksum-list"
* New -as mkisofs options "-jigdo-checksum-algorithm", "-checksum-list",
"-jigdo-force-checksum"
* New -read_speed prefixes "soft_force:" and "soft_corr:"
* New -check_media option data_to="-" for standard output
* New -zisofs parameters version_2=, block_size_v2=, max_bpt=, max_bpt_f=,
bpt_target=, bpt_free_ratio=, by_magic=v2, susp_z2=
* New -as mkisofs options --zisofs-version-2, --zisofs2-susp-z2,
--zisofs2-susp-zf
* New -osirrox option sparse= controls extraction into sparse files
* New command -joliet_map
* New command -extract_boot_images

Peculiarities of this release:
A 5 year old bug of libisofs about zisofs was reported when the release
tags in git already existed and GNU xorriso-1.5.4.tar.gz was already
uploaded. This halted the final steps of the release for a week.
The now released state is:
- libisofs-1.5.4 has the bug fixed. Because no upload had happened yet,
the tarball still goes by the name libisofs-1.5.4.tar.gz .
The old libisofs release tag was changed to "release-1.5.4.rc1".
The current tag "release-1.5.4" marks the code state of the now released
libisofs-1.5.4.tar.gz .
- GNU xorriso has been patched to xorriso-1.5.4.pl02.tar.gz which is now
uploaded. (By a moment of inattention i failed to fix the bug in .pl01,
which got uploaded before i noticed.)
