Hi,
libburnia project is pleased to announce the release of version 1.4.4
of GNU xorriso, a ISO 9660 Rock Ridge filesystem manipulator. Available
on GNU FTP mirrors as
xorriso/xorriso-1.4.4.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: -as mkisofs did not unescape "\=" in the source part of pathspecs
* Bug fix: -boot_image "any" "system_area=/dev/zero" did not zeroize loaded
data
* Bug fix: -pathspecs "on" did not properly handle "\\="
* Bug fix: HFS+ production could cause MBR partition of type 0xEE without GPT
* Bug fix: HFS+ directories could announce more children than they actually have
* Bug fix: The HFS+ filesystem was not marked by in GPT of GRUB2 hybrid layout
* Bug fix: When reading an ISO filesystem, the presence of
--protective-msdos-label was not recognized if a partition is
appended
* Bug fix: xorrisofs option --protective-msdos-label did not work if no
system area data were given by option -G or alike
* Bug fix: -modesty_on_drive properties timeout_sec, min_usec, max_usec
read wrong numbers from the parameter text
* Letting -as mkisofs --norock revoke the special effect of -r
* Letting -blank on overwritable media invalidate UDF extended descriptors
* New -pathspecs mode "as_mkisofs"
* New -boot_image setting mbr_force_bootable=, -as mkisofs --mbr-force-bootable
* New -boot_image bootspecs appended_part_as=apm, part_like_isohybrid=on
* New -as mkisofs options -appended_part_as_apm, -part_like_isohybrid
* New command -scsi_dev_family, new -as cdrecord option drive_scsi_dev_family=

Optional:
libreadline + libreadline-development , or libedit
zlib + zlib-development
