Hi,
libburnia project is pleased to announce the release of version 1.5.8:
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 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:
New libburn API calls use and return off_t sizes instead of int or uint32_t.
This enables writing of ISO 9660 filesystes of up to 8 TiB instead of the
previous limit of 4 TiB.
libisofs can now append up to 8 GPT partitions instead of 4. Backup fidelity
on Linux was improved by recording and restoring file attibutes as of
chattr(1) and XFS-style project ids. 17-byte file timestamps get created
after year 2150 and before year 1900, expanding the range range from year 0
to year 9999. Volume Ids for ISO 9660, Joliet, ISO 9660:1999, and HFS+ can
now be set separately.
libisoburn offers new API calls which use and return off_t sizes instead of
int or uint32_t. The commands -mount, -load, and others can now select
sessions by their modification time.
Various bugs were fixed. Most of them were minor or rarely occuring.
libburn and cdrskin novelties:
* Bug fix: burn_offst_source_new() parameter "size" rolled over at 2 exp 31
* Bug fix: ATA and SATA drives under sg did not register their SCSI address
tuple
* Bug fix: WAVE files with unsuitable audio format were read as raw audio file.
Thanks Niels Möller.
* New API calls use and return off_t sizes instead of int or uint32_t

libisofs novelties:
* Bug fix: File path of imported BIOS boot image was forgotten when it gets
overwritten by a file of the same name. Thanks Brian C. Lane.
* Bug fix: Reproducibility of ISO images depended on "undefined" qsort(3)
behavior with comparer function result 0
* Bug fix: Empty AAIP value spoiled decoding of all AAIP attributes
* Bug fix: Symbolic links with xattr could cause unusable ISO filesystems.
Thanks Paul von Behren.
* Bug fix: When reading multiple slashes in symbolic link targets they were
condensed to a single one if not marked by the SL ROOT-flag
* Bug fix: Empty symolic link target components which represent add-on
slashes were written with ROOT flag set
* Bug fix: The last trailing slash in a symbolic link target was not written
* Bug fix: The .. directory record exposed Rock Ridge properties of its
grand grand parent. Caused by commit 4d0063f7 in 2009 which fixed
the block address pointer of the .. record.

file names
