libburnia 0.6.10.pl01 (libisofs branch) - 11/19/2008 10:18 PM

libburnia is a project comprised of libraries and binaries for reading, mastering, and writing optical discs. It provides libburn, a CD/DVD/BD burn library, libisofs, a manipulation library for ISO 9660 filesystems, and libisoburn, a ISO 9660 multi-session library. On top of them there is cdrskin, a cdrecord emulator, and xorriso, a all-in-one application for ISO 9660 multi-session operations which additionaly provides a limited emulation of mkisofs.

License: GNU General Public License (GPL)

Changes:
If images that were generated by mkisofs were expanded by a libisofs session, then files of size 0 shared their size information with files that contained data. Another bug prevented the SYSLINUX script isohybrid from creating an MBR that would really boot.

xorriso 0.2.8.pl01 (Default branch) - 11/19/2008 10:18 PM

xorriso creates, loads, manipulates, and writes ISO 9660 filesystem images with Rock Ridge extensions. It can load the management information of existing ISO images, and it writes the session results to optical media or to filesystem objects. This is the standalone version that incorporates the libraries of libburnia-project.org and thus depends only on Linux 2.4 (or later), libc, and libpthread. No separate mkisofs and no CD/DVD burn program are needed.

License: GNU General Public License v2

Changes:
A bug in libisofs affected images that were generated by mkisofs. If expanded by xorriso sessions, files of size 0 could hide the content of their neighbors. Another bug prevented the SYSLINUX script isohybrid from creating an MBR that would really boot.

imageTagger 0.5 (Default branch) - 11/19/2008 10:05 PM

imageTagger makes it easy to manage tags of different images and so organise large collections of image collections. It features the ability to assign free tags to images and to search for pictures with tags. The tags are stored externally, so this can also be used for files that should not be changed, files on CDs, and pictures in a format that does not support metadate. No image data is changed ever.

License: GNU General Public License (GPL)

Changes:
This release adds the ability to search for new images in directories. It has a slightly enhanced help function.

srcpd 2.0.12 (Default branch) - 11/19/2008 10:05 PM
