cdrtools (formerly cdrecord) creates home-burned CDs/DVDs with a CDR/CDRW/DVD recorder. It works as a burn engine for several applications. It supports CD/DVD recorders from many different vendors; all SCSI-3/mmc- and ATAPI/mmc-compliant drives should also work. Supported features include IDE/ATAPI, parallel port, and SCSI drives, audio CDs, data CDs, and mixed CDs, full multi-session support, CDRWs (rewritable), DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW, TAO, DAO, RAW, and human-readable error messages. cdrtools includes remote SCSI support and can access local or remote CD/DVD writers.

Changes:
The Atari MiNT enhancements are ready (except for the libscg code for ATARI). This release can create and link shared cdrtools-libs on Linux. A workround for a nasty gcc warning about sccsid has been introduced. Libfind now correctly deals with ARG_MAX in case libfind bitsize differs from the called program with -exec +. The RSCSI bus numer limit has been raised to 1024 to allow the new Linux ATA mapping. Many new workarounds for drive firmware bugs have been added to cdrecord. The cdrecord default transfer size is again 63k because of Linux and Solaris kernel bugs.
