- 16th January 2007 release of libburn-0.3.0 and cdrskin-0.3.0 . Now the scope |
|

is widened to a first class of DVD media: overwriteable single layer types |

DVD-RAM, DVD+RW, DVD-RW. This is not a cdrecord emulation but rather inspired |

by dvd+rw-tools' "poor man" writing facility for this class of media. |

Taking a bow towards Andy Polyakov. |
