# Welcome to libburnia project
### NEWS
* **Mon Nov 25 2019** Bug fix release 1.5.2.pl01 of
[libburn](http://files.libburnia-project.org/releases/libburn-1.5.2.pl01.tar.gz)
is ready on [release page](Releases). 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](Releases).
The libraries are now ready for building out-of-source.
[libisofs](http://files.libburnia-project.org/releases/libisofs-1.5.2.tar.gz)
got minor API extensions.
[libburn](http://files.libburnia-project.org/releases/libburn-1.5.2.pl01.tar.gz)
got a bug fixed which spoiled burn runs on some MATSHITA laptop drives. It
is now able to list all features which the drive announces.
[xorriso and libisoburn](http://files.libburnia-project.org/releases/libisoburn-1.5.2.tar.gz)
xorriso can now set GPT type GUIDs with appended partitions and the ISO
partition.
All three libraries got some rarely triggered bugs fixed.
* **Thu Aug 1 2019** we celebrate 13 years of libburnia project.
* **Fri Oct 28 2016** We moved from `Trac/svn/bzr` to `GitLab/git`.
* **Sun Mar 20 2016** The wiki article
[about problems with concurrent burns](Concurrentlinuxsr)
describes two workarounds for the poor throughput which can be observed
on Linux if libburn operates more than one drive at a time.
