GNU xorriso 1.3.0 released
Hi,
libburnia project is pleased to announce the release of version 1.3.0
of GNU xorriso, a ISO 9660 Rock Ridge filesystem manipulator. Available
on GNU FTP mirrors as
xorriso/xorriso-1.3.0.tar.gz
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: Disk paths with components '.' or '..' could be mistaken for
directories.
* Bug fix: -as mkisofs -print-size failed with -isohybrid-mbr and a single
boot image. Regression introduced by libisoburn-1.2.8.
* Bug fix: -as mkisofs -path-list did not switch to --no-emul-toc by default.
* Bug fix: Unspecified Expiration Time and Effective Time of ISO volume was
represented by 0-bytes rather than ASCII '0' digits.
* Bug fix: Reserved and unused fields of APM entries were not zeroed.
* Bug fix: GPT header CRC was computed from all 512 bytes rather than from 92.
* Bug fix: The protective MBR partition for GPT started at block 0 instead of 1.
* New -boot_image bootspecs grub2_mbr= and grub2_boot_info=
* New -boot_image bootspec grub2_sparc_core=
* New -as mkisofs options --grub2-mbr , --grub2-boot-info , --grub2-sparc-core
* New -hardlinks mode "lsl_count" / "no_lsl_count"
