Log Message:
Update to 1.0rc4 (which supports flac-1.1.3). Ok markd@
1.0rc4
======
* K3b now includes a VideoDVD kio slave. It can be used in Konqueror through \
the protocol videodvd:/
to copy the files from a VideoDVD with on-the-fly decryption if libdvdcss is \
installed.
(Be aware that in some countries it is not permitted to use libdvdcss.)
* New Device menu containing all the actions possible for a device (like eject, \
unmount, ...).
This includes the possibility of assigning shortcuts to these kind of actions.
* K3b now warns if user parameters for external programs have been specified. \
This has been introduced
because there were some bug report that were caused by faulty user parameters.
* Cleaned up all the job classes: No job creates a widget anymore. This allows \
for non-GUI usage of libk3b.
For example in a kioslave.
* New option in the data project to not cache the inodes. That means it is \
possible to have multiple
actual copies of the same file on one CD/DVD.
* K3b now tries to disable stuff that might influence the burning process. This \
includes the KDED module
mediamanager, SuSEPlugger, and automounting (currently supported: subfs, \
supermount).
* New Audio Track source editor dialog to cut audio track sources at the \
beginning and the end.
* Splitted "read retries" and "ignore read errors" for data \
and audio sectors in cd copy and set new
defaults for audio sectors which make more sense: 5 retires and skip \
unreadable sectors.
* New Mediamanager which makes K3b always know which device contains which \
medium. This makes medium handling
more smooth and the user now selects a medium instead of a device.
Other advantages:
- No waiting time anymore when asking for information on media (including \
for example Audio CD ripping).
- Nice default image filenames.
- CD Copy: Enable/disable options based on the source medium
- Automatically select newly inserted media as burning medium
* DCOP call directBurn() now returns a boolean value stating if the process \
could be started.
* New DCOP calls cddaRip(), videocdrip(), and videodvdrip() with media:/ url \
support.
* K3b can now handle media:/ urls from the command line to specify devices
* Better Lame settings dialog. Easier to use for the novice user and better \
defaults.
* Nicer Ogg Vorbis encoder settings dialog.
* K3b now shows the DVD Medium ID in the disk information view.
* K3b now displays a rough estimate on the remaining time for the current job.
* New automatic media size mode for the projects. This means K3b uses the size \
from an inserted medium
for the project maximum size.
* Make a suggestion for the filename when saving a project based on the Volume \
ID (data projects) or the
CD-Text title (Audio CD)
* The Audio encoder plugins are now able to provide (very simplistic) user \
feedback in case of an error.
* New settings "Swap byte order" and "Write Wave header" in \
the audio encoding plugin using external apps.
This makes way for the usage of such programs as mppenc to encode Musepack \
files. In fact, mppenc is set up
as a default along with flac if installed.
* New DCOP interface: K3bJobInterface which provides DCOP signals for the \
currently running job. It may,
for example, be used to provide information to a Karamba module.
* New KFile plugin for K3b projects. For now it only shows the type of the \
project (Data DVD or Audio CD or ...)
but may be extended to show arbitrary information.
* K3b now chooses default image names based on the project name or the \
volumeid/cdtext title in case of
CD/DVD copy.
* The K3b Project DCOP Interface now uses the QString type for url parameters \
instead of KURL.
* Save/load audio cd track sources in audio projects
* Display a beautified volume id. For example: THE_TRANSPORTER -> The Transporter
* Check if the image directory exists before starting to create a project image
* Possibility to hide the OSD temporarily for one process.
* Completely rewritten Video DVD ripping and transcoding support:
- Simple on-the-fly transcoding of Video DVD titles
- Interface similar to Audio CD ripping
- Preview images in the ripping window
- Automatic clipping
- Simple resizing with automatic aspect ratio handling
* File System presets for all data projects including all the advanced options.
* Completely rewritten data project verification
- K3b now compares the written image instead of the single files
- Verification of Video DVD projects
* Little GUI changes:
- Changed the dialog layout in the action dialogs.
- Simplified the layout of the burn dialogs for data projects (more advanced \
settings hidden)
- Improved theme support (transparent themes)
* Device buffer status display for DVD burning with growisofs >= 7.0
* Support for Audio CD ripping with libcdio instead of libcdparanoia
