Hi,

libburnia project is pleased to announce the release of version 1.5.0
of GNU xorriso, a ISO 9660 Rock Ridge filesystem manipulator. Available
on GNU FTP mirrors as
  xorriso/xorriso-1.5.0.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:

* Bug fix: Add-on sessions with partition offset claimed too many blocks as
           size. Regression of version 1.4.8.

* Bug fix: Long Joliet names without dot were mangled with one character too
           many. Long Joliet names with leading dot were mangled one char
           too short.

* Bug fix: Reading beyond array end for HFS+ production caused SIGSEGV with
           FreeBSD 11 CLANG -O2. Thanks ASX of GhostBSD.

* Bug fix: SIGSEGV could happen if a track ended by reaching its fixed size
           while the track source still was willing to deliver bytes.
           Thanks to user swordragon.

* Bug fix: Multi-session emulation was not recognized with non-zero partition
           offset

* New -xattr mode "any" to process all xattr namespaces of local filesystem

* New -as mkisofs option --xattr-any

* New -as mkisofs options -uid and -gid
