Announcing xorriso-0.2.2



Hi,

be invited to try the new release 0.2.r20 of my program
xorriso, a ISO 9660 Rock Ridge filesystem manipulator.

It creates, loads, manipulates and writes ISO 9660
filesystem images with Rock Ridge extensions. It can
load the management information of existing ISO images
and it writes the session results to optical media or
to filesystem objects.
Vice versa xorriso is able to restore file objects from
ISO 9660 filesystems.

A special property of xorriso is that it needs neither
an external ISO 9660 formatter program nor an external
burn program for CD or DVD but rather incorporates the
libraries of libburnia-project.org .

Novelties:

* Ability to use /dev/scd as fallback if /dev/sr does not exist
* New option -grow_blindly
* Options -C and -M for -as mkisofs emulation
* Options for -as cdrecord emulation: -multi, -msinfo, -isosize, tsize,
  --grow_overwriteable_iso, write_start_address,
* New option -pacifier, more compatible pacifier with -as mkisofs
* make install creates aliases as symbolic links: osirrox, xorrisofs, xorrecord
* Can serve growisofs if started as xorrisofs, genisofs, mkisofs, genisoimage


System requirements:
  Linux with kernel 2.4 or 2.6: libc, libpthread.

Optional:
  libreadline + libreadline-dev

For more info, see http://scdbackup.sourceforge.net/xorriso_eng.html
                   http://scdbackup.sourceforge.net/man_1_xorriso.html

Download:

There is a xorriso release tarball (containing the application
and all three libburnia libraries needed):
  http://scdbackup.sourceforge.net/xorriso-0.2.2.pl00.tar.gz

scdbackup.sourceforge.net is mirrored at scdbackup.webframe.org .


xorriso is also part of the libisoburn-0.2.2 SVN tag:
  http://svn.libburnia-project.org/libisoburn/tags/ZeroTwoTwo
(needs autotools >= 1.7 to apply command ./bootstrap)

and of the libisoburn release tarball:
  http://files.libburnia-project.org/releases/libisoburn-0.2.2.pl00.tar.gz
(needs only vanilla tools for ./configure ; make)
  
libisoburn.so.1 and its xorriso need recent release
versions of libburn.so.4 and libisofs.so.6.


Post bug reports or requests
either to the libburnia ticket system:
  http://libburnia-project.org/newticket
or to one of these mailing lists:
  mailto:libburn-hackers@pykix.org
