Announcing cdrskin-0.5.2

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

Hi,

be invited to try the new version 0.5.2 of my program cdrskin,
a burn backend for CD, DVD and BD-RE.

This release accepts any path as drive address. The filesystem
object behind the given path has nevertheless to be a device node
capable of SG_IO which governs a CDROM device.
The drive scan additionally examines /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info
whether it tells drives which were not found by examination of
/dev/hd*, /dev/sr*, /dev/scd* (resp. /dev/sg* on kernel 2.4).


System requirements:
  Linux with kernel 2.4 or 2.6.

Changes:
* Larger set of possibly acceptable drive device file names
