After a lot of time with dedication to this project, we proudly present you libburn 0.2.6. It is the first version of cdrskin and libburn after they have been split from genisofs and libisofs. Main new features are write mode TAO and support for multi session.

* cdrskin 0.2.4 release notes *

Compatibility with cdrecord has been improved in respect to drive addresses, audio extraction from .wav, -scanbus, -toc, drive buffer fill indicator.
Note: The previous snapshot01 with the same source base is handicapped by a broken ./configure setup. It works well on Intel compatible CPUs but is supposed to be unusable on big-endian architectures.

Initial release of libburnia's libburn combined with cdrskin.
