Hi,

be invited to try the release 0.6.0 of GNU xorriso,
a ISO 9660 Rock Ridge filesystem manipulator.
Available on GNU FTP mirrors as
  xorriso/xorriso-0.6.0.tar.gz

It creates, loads, manipulates and writes ISO 9660
filesystem images with Rock Ridge extensions. Optionally
it supports hard links, ACLs, xattr, and MD5 checksums.
xorriso can load the management information of existing
ISO images and it writes the session results to optical
media or to filesystem objects.
Vice versa xorriso is able to copy file objects from
ISO 9660 filesystems to disk.

A special property of xorriso is that it needs neither
an external ISO 9660 formatter program nor an external
burn program for CD, DVD or BD but rather incorporates
the libraries of libburnia-project.org .


Novelties:

This release mainly adds more options to the mkisofs
emulation command -as mkisofs. It also fixes minor
bugs and shortcommings.

* New option -read_mkisofsrc interprets .mkisofsrc
  To be performed before -as mkisofs. Performed
  automatically with program alias name "xorrisofs".

* Implemented -as mkisofs options -dir-mode, -file-mode,
  -abstract, -biblio, -copyright

           interpreted like -volid
