[ANNOUNCE] libdvdread/libdvdnav 4.2.0 release
Dear all, After a long break, we're happy to announce another release. We added some new features (e.g. OS/2 support, new APIs in libdvdnav), fixed a number of bugs and improved playback of badly mastered or "copy protected" DVDs. I wish to thank all contributors who submitted patches and did the testing. Keep up the good work! We also have a new project website at http://dvdnav.mplayerhq.hu/ . Big thanks to Arpi and Michael for providing the space and helping me set up the website. Download links for the 4.2.0 release are below: http://dvdnav.mplayerhq.hu/releases/libdvdread-4.2.0.tar.bz2 http://dvdnav.mplayerhq.hu/releases/libdvdnav-4.2.0.tar.bz2 Enjoy!

For those developers out there that require my additional patches to read UDF2.50, or Bluray ISOs, I have merged them into the official libdvdread-4.2.0 and packaged up separately. For lack of a better name, I have simply called it libdvdread-4.2.0.plus.tar.bz2 Source tarball can be downloaded from: http://lundman.net/ftp/dvdread/libdvdread-4.2.0.plus.tar.bz2 If you wish to patch the original release yourself, the patches are located here: * Patch 1: Handle AD chains correctly, skip gaps, and give full end blocks: http://lundman.net/ftp/dvdread/patches/README.patch1 http://lundman.net/ftp/dvdread/patches/patch1 * Patch 2: File sizes from 32 bit to 64 bit.

There was a request by the NetworkMediaTank users to add the ability to use the well known "mediainfo" utility on Bluray ISO files. Since I had previously done "mediainfo-rar" (to give info on media files in RAR archives) and the UFD2.50 extension to libdvdread, it seemed a natural progression. I have already announced it to the users who requested it, but thought I would do a small announcement here as well, as it shows how to use, and read, UDF2.50 ISO files with libdvdread.
