Important Bug Fix: xorriso-0.2.8.pl01

["Thomas Schmitt" <scdbackup@gmx.net>]

Hi,

the current stable standalone release 0.2.8 of xorriso
has been patched for two bugs in libisofs of which one
is considered to be serious.
(Users of libisofs.6.so are advised to install 0.6.10.pl01.
 All previous versions are affected.)

Novelties:

* Bug fix: If images generated by mkisofs were loaded by libisofs then
           files of size 0 could share their size information with files
           that contain data.
           http://libburnia-project.org/ticket/144
           This bug is old and was hidden by the fact that libisofs uses
           a modern Rock Ridge version with persistent inode numbers.
           Its signature "IEEE_1282" was not recognized by FreeBSD and when
           we tested the old "RRIP_1991A" the bug popped up as regression.
           This signature is used by mkisofs and so the bug is serious
           whenever one of its images shall get expanded by xorriso and
           already contains a regular file of size 0.

* Bug fix: When patching an ISOLINUX boot image the future LBA of the file
           was recorded too early. This does not hamper El Torito booting but
           prevents booting from an MBR created by syslinux tool "isohybrid".
           http://libburnia-project.org/ticket/145

* Two harmless #include were added which were missed during FreeBSD porting.

System requirements:
  Linux with kernel 2.4 or 2.6: libc, libpthread.
  FreeBSD: libc, libpthread,
           ATAPI/CAM support enabled in the kernel, see atapicam(4).
Optional:
  libreadline + libreadline-dev

Download:

There is a xorriso release tarball (containing the application
and all three libburnia libraries needed):
  http://scdbackup.sourceforge.net/xorriso-0.2.8.pl01.tar.gz

Not needed for this xorriso tarball but for other applications
which use libisofs as libisofs.6.so :
  http://scdbackup.sourceforge.net/libisofs-0.6.10.pl01.tar.gz

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