This version is capable of determining the image size from the UDF/ISO file system to improve the image size recognition for -RW/+RW media. Reading images and creating the respective error correction file can now be invoked together with a single mouse click. A couple of small improvements have been made to support more CD/DVD drives, polish existing functionality, and to weed out some minor bugs ;-)

Patches (small changes after version 0.64; files above have been updated):
pl1 Fixes a crash immediately after invoking the program when linked against gtk+-2.6; only the Linux version is affected.
pl2 Repairs the -u command line option and creates file permissions for images using Unix conventions under Linux.

What is the digital signature?

The downloadable source code packages have been digitally signed using GnuPG so that you can verify that the software is in its original state.

Checking the authenticity of the public key is best done by comparing its "finger print" with that given in the footer of my emails. Feel free to send me an email with the subject "GPG finger print" if needed.
