dvd+rw-tools 5.18.x are available for download at usual location, http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/. Essentially 5.18 doesn't address any issues, as the code was frozen for a period of quality assurance test performed by HP. But there is an essential behavior change in this update, namely growisofs refusing to start if executed under sudo. Background for this decision is discussed in detail in manual page.
As 5.18 was frozen for some time and bound to release on http://www.software.hp.com/, accumulated issues, most notably failure to verify write speed with Plextor PX-708A and NEC ND-2500, will be addressed in upcoming 5.19.x, which will be released shortly. In other words there hardly is a reason for community to upgrade to 5.18, just wait for 5.19:-) A. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
