GNU xorriso 1.3.4 released



Hi,

libburnia project is pleased to announce the release of version 1.3.4
of GNU xorriso, a ISO 9660 Rock Ridge filesystem manipulator. Available
on GNU FTP mirrors as
  xorriso/xorriso-1.3.4.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: Command -blank "as_needed" formatted blank BD-R.

* Bug fix: -as mkisofs option -log-file put the log file into the image

* Bug fix: -cut_out did not add x-permission to r-permission of directory

* Bug fix: Command -zisofs did not accept all options emitted by
           -status -zisofs

* Bug fix: -blank force:... failed on appendable or closed media

* Bug fix: libburn: Drive LG BH16NS40 stalled on inspection of unformatted
                    DVD+RW

* libisofs: Default sort weight of El Torito boot images is now 2

* libisofs: Encoding HFS+ names in UTF-16 rather than UCS-2

* New command -read_speed

* New -close mode "as_needed", new -as cdrecord option --multi_if_possible

* New -alter_date types: a-c , m-c , b-c , c
