Announcing cdrskin-1.1.8

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

Hi,

be invited to try the new version 1.1.8 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, IDE and SATA drives need atapicam
or Solaris : libc, libpthread


Changes:

* Bug fix: Misinterpreted mode page 2A if block descriptors are present

* Enabled recognition of QEMU DVD-ROM 0.12

* Avoiding to intermediately close and open drive device file


For more info, see http://scdbackup.sourceforge.net/cdrskin_eng.html
                   http://scdbackup.sourceforge.net/man_1_cdrskin.html

Download:

There is a cdrskin release tarball (containing libburn):

  http://scdbackup.sourceforge.net/cdrskin-1.1.8.tar.gz

and its detached signature file:
  http://scdbackup.sourceforge.net/cdrskin-1.1.8.tar.gz.sig
by which the download may be verified:
  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys ABC0A854
  gpg --verify cdrskin-1.1.8.tar.gz.sig cdrskin-1.1.8.tar.gz

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


cdrskin is also part of the libburn-1.1.8 SVN tag:
  http://svn.libburnia-project.org/libburn/tags/1.1.8
(needs autotools >= 1.7 to apply command ./bootstrap)

and of the libburn-1.1.8 release tarball:
  http://files.libburnia-project.org/releases/libburn-1.1.8.tar.gz
(needs only vanilla tools for ./configure ; make)


Post bug reports or requests
either to one of these mailing lists:
  mailto:libburn-hackers@pykix.org
