K3b

Another bug in the ISO options code which
sometimes resulted in a failed verification was
fixed. The reading device is properly closed when
copying VideoDVDs. This bug resulted in a blocked
device. Handling of filenames in the libdvdcss
backend was fixed (and this fixes VideoDVD copy).

Selection in the audio CD ripping window was fixed along with info block handling in the WAVE audio file decoder. A crash with HAL 0.5 or later when exiting the program was fixed. It is now possible to copy double layer DVDs with a size below 4.3 GB to single layer media. Support for the ring buffer in growisofs 6.0 was added. The mounting state of a medium is now ignored when showing its contents. A bug in the ISO options code that sometimes resulted in a failed verification was fixed. A proper Xing header is now written when encoding VBR MP3s.

Auto multisession mode in DVD projects was fixed.
A crash was fixed in the DCOP call to directBurn
in the case where no valid burner device was set.
Verification of datacd projects was fixed when
using the MaxIso9660 option without the
OmitVersionNumber option.

A new ALSA audio output plugin was added. Problems
with filenames ending in backslashes was fixed.
Verification problems with localized characters
were fixed. Error handling was added for
incorrectly encoded filenames. A newly installed
version of an external application is
automatically used at the next K3b start. A
completely new set of K3b action icons were added
for project types and tools. Text is shown on the
burn button to make it catch the eye. Support for
media:// URLs was added in the Image writing
dialogs. Problems with files bigger than 2 GB on
some systems were fixed.

This release loads the index0 value in audio projects, ignores case in
cue files, uses the "eject media" setting properly in all situations,
and fixes a bug in the MP3 decoder which caused it to miss some
perfectly valid MP3 files.
