Libisofs 0.6.30 release notes

* New API call iso_write_opts_set_system_area() acts like mkisofs option -G.

* New API call iso_write_opts_set_pvd_times().

* Now able to produce a bootable System Area from an ISOLINUX mbr/isohdp[fp]x*.bin file and an ISOLINUX El Torito bootable image (isolinux.bin).

* New API calls iso_read_opts_load_system_area() and iso_image_get_system_area() for multi-session handling of MBRs.

Libisofs 0.6.28 release notes

* Bug fix: Random checksum index could sneak in via boot catalog node and cause a SIGSEGV.

* Improved compilability out of the box on FreeBSD.

Libisofs 0.6.26 release notes

* Bug fix: Invalid old checksum tags were preserved with iso_write_opts_set_overwrite_buf(), if the new session produced no checksums.

* The checksum buffer for the emerging image gets now marked as invalid if image generation is canceled.

* More graceful reaction on filesystems where ACL are not enabled but nevertheless requested by the application.

* Adaptions to problems reported by Debian buildd.

Libisofs 0.6.24 release notes

* Bug fix: Short Rock Ridge names got stripped of trailing blanks when loaded and written again to a follow-up session. Long names could lose inner blanks.

* Bug fix: Avoided to return NULL or single blanks as content of id strings by API calls iso_image_get_volset_id() ... iso_image_get_biblio_file_id().

* New API call iso_write_opts_set_scdbackup_tag().

Libisofs 0.6.22 release notes

* New API call iso_write_opts_set_record_md5() for writing MD5 sums.

* New API call iso_read_opts_set_no_md5() for importing MD5 sums.

* New API calls iso_image_get_session_md5() and iso_file_get_md5().

* New API calls iso_md5_start(), iso_md5_compute(), iso_md5_clone(), iso_md5_end(), iso_md5_match() for own MD5 computations.

* New API call iso_util_decode_md5_tag() to recognize and parse checksum tags.

* New API call iso_file_make_md5() to equip old file nodes with MD5.

* Improvements with ./configure and its help text.

Libisofs 0.6.20 release notes

* Optional automatic detection and recording of hard link relations between files.

* Support for restoring hard link relations by the app.

Libisofs 0.6.18 release notes

* Opportunity to set the input charset automatically from an eventual xattr "isofs.cs" of the image root node.

* New general filter API to inquire and remove filters.

* Specialized APIs for installing filters which are based on external processes or based on zlib.

* New API call to inquire the original source path of a data file in an emerging image.

Libisofs 0.6.16 release notes

* Bug fix: The ".." directory record pointed to the same data block as the "." entry.

* Bug fix: The use of iso_write_opts_set_rrip_version_1_10() caused a wrong size announcement in the CE entry which points to the ER signature of the image root.

* New API call iso_write_opts_get_data_start() inquires the start address of the data section of an emerging ISO image.

* ISO image generation does not absolutely depend on the availability of character set "WCHAR_T" with iconv_open(3) any more.

Libisofs 0.6.14 release notes

* New API calls iso_image_set_ignore_aclea(), iso_read_opts_set_no_aaip() control import of ACL and xattr.

* New API calls iso_write_opts_set_aaip(), iso_write_opts_set_aaip_susp_1_10() control output of ACL and xattr into generated ISO image.

* New API call iso_file_source_get_aa_string(), new function member get_aa_string() in IsoFileSource_Iface allow to access opaquely encoded ACL and xattr. New function handle aaip_xinfo_func attaches aa_strings to IsoNode objects.

* New API calls iso_node_get_acl_text(), iso_node_set_acl_text(), iso_node_get_perms_wo_acl() allow inquiry and manipulation of ACLs in IsoNode objects.

* New API calls iso_node_get_attrs(), iso_node_set_attrs() allow inquiry and manipulation of xattr in IsoNode objects.

Libisofs 0.6.12 release notes

* New API calls iso_set_local_charset() and iso_get_local_charset()

* New API calls iso_write_opts_set_rrip_version_1_10() and iso_write_opts_set_dir_rec_mtime()

* New API call el_torito_set_isolinux_options() allows to patch ISOLINUX boot images and to generate a isohybrid MBR on the fly. Such an MBR makes the ISO image bootable from disk-like hardware, e.g. from USB stick. The ISOLINUX boot image has to be of syslinux 3.72 or later to allow MBR generation.

* Old API call el_torito_patch_isolinux_image() is deprecated now.

Libisofs 0.6.10.pl01 release notes

* Bug fix: If images generated by mkisofs were loaded then files of size 0 could share their size information with files that contain data. Ticket #144.

* Bug fix: ISOLINUX boot images were patched suitable for El Torito but not for an eventual MBR added by SYSLINUX script isohybrid.

Libisofs 0.6.10 release notes, Mon Oct 6 2008:

* Bug fix: Patching of existing ISOLINUX boot images led to a SIGSEGV.

Libisofs 0.6.8 release notes:

* Support for very large data files in the ISO 9660 image (Level 3, multi-extent)

* Bug fix: it was assumed that isolinux images were always a multiple of 4 bytes

* New API call iso_image_update_sizes() to refresh recorded file sizes immediately before image generation begins

Libisofs 0.6.6 release notes:

* Bug fix: major,minor numbers of device files were not read properly from existing images

* Bug fix: iso_tree_path_to_node() returned 1 if a directory path component was a non-directory file

* New API call iso_special_get_dev() retrieves major, minor numbers of device files

Libisofs 0.6.4 release notes:

* Extended information: iso_node_add_xinfo()

* New node iteration: iso_dir_find_children()

* Custom image file content via iso_tree_add_new_file()

* Missing feature added to map a disk file to an arbitrary image file path via iso_tree_add_new_node()

* Obtain image path of a node object via iso_tree_get_node_path()

* Various bugfixes

* FIX: missing buffer.h preventing build from succeeding
