NEWS

  • Mon Nov 25 2019 Bug fix release 1.5.2.pl01 of libburn is ready on release page. cdrskin did not properly burn multiple tracks. Track 1 was slow and burning stalled before track 2. Regression introduced by 1.5.0.

  • Sat Oct 27 2019 Release 1.5.2 is ready on release page. The libraries are now ready for building out-of-source. libisofs got minor API extensions. libburn got a bug fixed which spoiled burn runs on some MATSHITA laptop drives.
