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:
This release makes Linux installation more safe: install scripts have been enhanced to make sure that cdrecord will be installed suid root if "make install" is called by root, but cdrecord is not installed suid in case "make install" is not called by root. The new makefile variable INS_RBASE controls the install location of files like /etc/default/cdrecord, while other files may be installed into /opt/schily.
