Hi,

libburnia project made an unplanned bug fix release 1.3.6.pl01 of
GNU xorriso, a ISO 9660 Rock Ridge filesystem manipulator. Available
on GNU FTP mirrors as
  xorriso/xorriso-1.3.6.pl01.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:

* Bug fix: CD TAO with add-on sessions could cause a buffer overrun
           by one 0-byte.
           This is an old bug present since version 0.3.2, 7 years ago.

* Bug fix: Compilation warning for unsupported systems mutated into an error.
           GNU xorriso is not able to burn optical media on such systems,
           but is needed as prerequisite of GRUB2 tool grub-mkrescue.
           This is a regression introduced by release 1.3.6.

* Bug fix: Command -status produced FAILURE event if no drive was acquired.
           This is a regression introduced by release 1.3.6.
