Es gibt nun K3b 0.10 :)
Bilder gibs hier: http://k3b.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/index.pl/screenshots
Hier gehts zum Download: http://k3b.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/index.pl/download
Ich hoffe mal das jetzt endlich mein DVD Brenner funktioniert :)
Hier die Änderungen:
And another K3b version hits the web. Once again K3b gains a lot of cool new features for your CD (and from this release on also DVD) burning pleasure!
First of all I like to clarify a versioning thing. Well, the thing is that I more or less screwed up the versioning in the past. The cvs version reports as 0.10 ever since I started working on it. That means you are unable to distinguish between some old cvs version and this release just by looking at the version number in K3b. Nonetheless I decided to go for 0.10 this time and use something like 0.10.99 for the cvs version in the future since 0.10.1 would not sound like a major release and 0.11 would just be strange.
Now that this has been sorted out I like to send a big thank you to Andy Polyakov (appro@fy.chalmers.se) who has helped a lot with the DVD-burning in K3b. Not only is he the author of the dvd+rw-tools which are used to burn all DVDs but he also answered all of my (possibly sometimes stupid ;) questions and even added features to his tools according to my wishes. Andy, it was fun working with you and hopefully it will stay like this in the future. :)
Ok, enough talk! The new features listed in no particular order and by all means incomplete:
DVD writing support with the DVD+RW-tools:
DVD-R(W) support
DVD+R(W) support
DVD formatting
DVD Copy (pure data dvd copy without any video transcoding YET)
CD Cloning with cdrtools >= 2.01a17
Device capabilities detection without cdrecord. This solves the long startup problem with ATAPI devices.
Option to automatically erase CD-RWs and DVD-RWs without asking before writing.
K3b is now divided into three libs and the main application: libk3bcore, libk3btools, and libk3bproject.
This makes creating KParts-plugins easy. Two examples can be found in the tests/kpartplugins dir.
ISO9660 file sorting (mkisofs -sort)
Id3lib support for better mp3 tag access (we had that in some very old version but back then K3b depended on it. Now it defaults to using KFileMetaInfo if Id3lib not available)
Pluggable audio decoding. For now only the formerly supported formats are avalible as plugins (Wave, Mp3, and Ogg-Vorbis)
Pluggable audio encoding and completely rewritten audio ripping.
Three encoding plugins are already available:
Ogg-Vorbis
A sox-plugin with allows to encode to all the formats supported by sox
A plugin which allows specifying any commandline to encode the data. A typical usage example would be encoding with lame.
Verification of written data (compares md5 sums of all written files).
K3b now also compiles without aRts. In this case the audioplayer will be useless.
Added CD-TEXT reading (used for Audio CD ripping)
Much better TOC reading. K3b now displays multisession info and CD-TEXT.
m3u Playlist creation for ripped audio files.
A new cool welcomewindow so new users won't be bewildered by the big empty gray window when K3b starts.
That's about every bigger thing I can remember. I'd like to thank SuSE for providing an internship and letting me work fulltime on K3b for the last three month.
Have fun with this new much better K3b. :)
From now on available on the download page.
