Outdated libisoburn Releases

The current release is at releases page.

Libisoburn 0.4.8 release notes:

xorriso novelties:

* Bug fix: xorriso did not blank CD-RW with images that were prepared on hard disk.

* New configure option --enable-libcdio for system adapter to libcdio-0.83git

Libisoburn 0.4.6 release notes:

xorriso novelties:

* New options -dvd_obs and -stdio_sync

* New configure option --enable-dvd-obs-64k

Libisoburn 0.4.4 release notes:

xorriso novelties:

* Bug fix: With -as cdrecord : -xa1 and -xamix were ignored although they do matter.

* Option -toc now reports the individual media type. E.g. with a DVD+RW:

"Media product: RICOHJPN/W11/49 , Ricoh Company Limited"

* New option -pvd_info displays image id strings. New options -system_id , -volset_id allow to set such image id strings.

* New option -mount_opts tries to circumvent an eventual ban to mount the same device twice. Some Linux systems allow to mount two sessions of the same media only if they get fooled via the loop device.

Libisoburn 0.4.2.pl02 release notes:

* Bug fix: -for_backup did not enable -xattr and -md5 if no drive was chosen yet
