Announcing cdrskin-0.7.4

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

Hi,

be invited to try the new version 0.7.4 of my program cdrskin,
a burn backend for CD, DVD and BD with a command line interface
compatible to cdrecord.

System requirements:
   Linux with kernel 2.4 or 2.6: libc, libpthread
or FreeBSD : libc, libpthread, ATAPI/CAM enabled, see atapicam(4)


Changes:

* Bug fix: SIGSEGV from NULL pointer with media product id inquiry
  on LG GH22LS30.

* Bug fix: DVD DAO track size was rounded up much too generously.
  
* Workaround for Pioneer DVR-216D which got stuck on DVD-R burns.
  (already fixed in 0.7.2.pl01)

* Workaround for Pioneer DVR-216D refusal to eject.
  (already fixed in 0.7.2.pl01)

* Configure options --enable-dvd-obs-64k, --enable-track-src-odirect
  allow some tuning on Linux systems with poor write performance.

* New compile_cdrskin.sh option -dvd_obs_64k

* New cdrskin options dvd_obs= and stdio_fsync=

* cdrskin option -V for logging of SCSI commands
