[Kde-extra-gear] K3b 1.0.1 released

[Sebastian Trüg]

Hi folks,

we all know how it works: I release something, you use it and find all the 
bugs I never see because, let's face it, I am using (and testing) K3b in the 
same way as I develop it. The result is that I don't find those bugs. Praise 
the gods of open-source for this concept.

Well, then, K3b 1.0 was not perfect but I am working on it. So here comes the 
first bugfix release. But before I get into the changes in detail (see how I 
always list all small changes in bugfix releases but never remember what I 
did for a major release I'd like to mention two users that helped tracking 
down one rather serious threading issue and one really stupid bug. Both Manoj 
and Antoon Tolboom patched and compiled K3b over and over again until we had 
tracked down the problems even though both of them do not compile anything on 
a daily basis. This again shows the power of the open-source approach.

Ok, on with the serious stuff: The ChangeLog:

 * Fixed crash when using the Device menu without a selected device.
 * Fixed DVD copy when reading from a DVD+RW.
 * Fixed --without-alsa configure check
 * Fixed a crash in Video DVD ripping when the title does not contain an audio
   stream
 * Only use the mkisofs parameters -biblio, -copyright, and -abstract if they
   have been set. Using them with invalid values (empty) seems to sometimes
   result in broken iso images.
 * Better compatibility with recent transcode development branch
 * Fixed Multisession import size handling.
 * Fixed Lame quality preset handling.
 * Made libk3bdevice really thread-safe. This fixes the disabled DMA bug!
 * New configure check --without-cdrecord-suid-root to disable K3b's check for
   cdrecord permissions. Although not recommended it is requested by many
   distributors.
 * Changed the order of the buttons in the tool dialogs to match the default
   KDE order.
 * Added handling of the newly introduced genisoimage
   parameter -allow-limited-size
 * Make the K3b Sox audio encoder plugin work with newer sox versions (Thanks,
   Stephan Binner.)

Go ahead and grab the sources from http://www.k3b.org. Binary packages will 
probably surface soon.

Cheers,
Sebastian
