bzr branch lp:libisofs/for-libisoburn (to become libisofs-1.3.0.tar.gz)
===============================================================================
* Bug fix: Unspecified Expiration Time and Effective Time of ISO volume was
represented by 0-bytes rather than ASCII '0' digits.
* Bug fix: Reserved and unused fields of APM entries were not zeroed.
* New option bits with el_torito_set_isolinux_options() and
iso_write_opts_set_system_area() to control GRUB2 patching of
boot image and MBR.
* New API calls iso_image_set_sparc_core() and iso_image_get_sparc_core().
* Bug fix: Unspecified Expiration Time and Effective Time of ISO volume was
represented by 0-bytes rather than ASCII '0' digits.
* Bug fix: Reserved and unused fields of APM entries were not zeroed.
* Bug fix: GPT header CRC was computed from all 512 bytes rather than from 92.

CHRP is marked by an MBR partition entry of type 0x96 spanning the whole
ISO 9660 image.
The specs in chrp1_7a.pdf promise that CHRP also recognizes ISO 9660 file
systems on unpartitioned disks. (See 11.1.1. Media Layout Format)
Vladimir Serbinenko stated:
PReP boot may be preferable. At least it can co-exist with other partitions
in the ISO image.
in the ISO image [without causing overlapping between partitions].
