Announcing xorriso-0.4.4
Hi,
be invited to try the new release 0.4.4 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. Optionally
it supports hard links, ACLs, xattr, and MD5 checksums.
xorriso 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 copy file objects from
ISO 9660 filesystems to disk.
A special property of xorriso is that it needs neither
an external ISO 9660 formatter program nor an external
burn program for CD, DVD or BD but rather incorporates
the libraries of libburnia-project.org .
Novelties:
* Bug fix: With -as cdrecord : -xa1 and -xamix were ignored although they
do matter.
* Option -toc now reports the individual media type. E.g. with a DVD+RW:
"Media product: RICOHJPN/W11/49 , Ricoh Company Limited"
* New option -pvd_info displays image id strings.
New options -system_id , -volset_id allow to set such image id strings.
* New option -mount_opts tries to circumvent an eventual ban to mount the
same device twice. Some Linux systems allow to mount two sessions of
the same media only if they get fooled via the loop device.
* New option -scdbackup_tag performs the task of the scdbackup MD5 checksum
filter inside xorriso.
Already fixed by patch releases of xorriso-0.4.2:
* Bug fix: -cut_out deleted previously cut-out pieces of the same file
* Bug fix libisofs: Filenames could lose blanks during a multi-session cycle
* Bug fix: -for_backup did not enable -xattr and -md5 if no drive was chosen yet
* Bug fix: xorrisofs -help, xorrecord -help displayed original xorriso -help
System requirements:
- Linux : kernel 2.4 or 2.6, libc, libpthread
- FreeBSD : libc, libpthread, ATAPI/CAM enabled, see atapicam(4)
- 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.
Optional:
libreadline + libreadline-dev
zlib + zlib-devel
on Linux: libacl + libacl-devel
If they were present at compile time, then the optional libraries have to
be present at runtime, too.

Download:
There is a xorriso release tarball (containing the application
and all three libburnia libraries needed):
http://scdbackup.sourceforge.net/xorriso-0.4.4.pl00.tar.gz
scdbackup.sourceforge.net is mirrored at scdbackup.webframe.org .
xorriso is also part of the libisoburn release tarball:
http://files.libburnia-project.org/releases/libisoburn-0.4.4.pl00.tar.gz
libisoburn.so.1 and its xorriso need recent release
versions of libburn.so.4 and libisofs.so.6.
The xorriso standalone release does not depend on any
of these dynamic libraries.
Post bug reports or requests to one of these mailing lists:
mailto:libburn-hackers@pykix.org
mailto:cdwrite@other.debian.org
or directly to me:
mailto:scdbackup@gmx.net
Have a nice day :)
Thomas
