Hi,

libburnia project is pleased to announce the release of version 1.2.2
of GNU xorriso, a ISO 9660 Rock Ridge filesystem manipulator. Available
on GNU FTP mirrors as
  xorriso/xorriso-1.2.2.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:

This release improves the handling of intentional deviations from ECMA-119
specifications. Some rarely occuring bugs have been fixed.

* New commands -x, -list_arg_sorting

* New command -rr_reloc_dir

* New command -data_cache_size

* New -as mkisofs option -rr_reloc, implemented option -hide-rr-moved

* Now ignoring -as mkisofs -no-split-symlink-components -no-split-symlink-fields

* Bug fix: -osirrox on:sort_lba_on -extract from / restored nearly nothing

* Bug fix: -as mkisofs without -graft-points could not handle names with "="

* Bug fix: Relaxation options joliet_rec_mtime and iso1999_rec_mtime had
           wrong values
