New in SimpleBurn 1.0.6 (Feb 16, 2009)

  • I hope I can get reliable CD / DVD detection for everybody with this version : in version 1.0.5, I used the '/sys/block/*/device/media' file to detect CD / DVD drives, but it looks like this file doesn't exists with every CD / DVD devices ; now I use the '/lib/udev/cdrom_id' command (thanks to Patrick for his tip).
  • The old behavior (using udev names '/dev/scd0', '/dev/cdwriter' or '/dev/cdrw' to detect CD / DVD drives) is still available using the '-DUSE_UDEV=ON' option when running 'cmake'.
  • In version 1.0.5, CMake config files have been rewritten (because they used deprecated PkgConfig functions), but the old versions are still available in case someone experiences problems.
  • Thanks everybody for your comments. As you can see, I read them and follow suggestions ! Patches are welcome too.

New in SimpleBurn 1.04 (Feb 8, 2009)

  • SimpleBurn now support '/dev/scd0' (scd1, ...), '/dev/cdwriter' (...) and '/dev/cdrw' (...) CD / DVD drive burners.
  • Bugfixes:
  • Allocates enough memory in CD / DVD drive detection (caused a crash at launch - bug introduced in 1.0.3 release).
  • Corrects the misplaced free in media detection (caused a crash in media detection when no media was inserted).
  • Corrects the memory leaks in CD / DVD drive detection (memory is now freed - bug introduced in 1.0.3 version).
  • Please post at least one comment if you get problems or if it works fine. I will do my best to get this application stable for others than me (I never crashed it before today) !

New in SimpleBurn 1.03 (Feb 6, 2009)

  • This version fix (at least try) and improve the CD / DVD readers and writers detection.
  • Missing README file has also been added.
