There is a plan to name the next stable release 3.0 and this is expected to be
ready soon (after the BluRay aupport is ready).
There have been many enhancements since the last "stable" release 2.01.
The only CLI changes since then has been announced with the 2.0 release 5 years
ago:
- Mkisofs reserves -H/-L/-P for a later Posix.1-2001 CLI implementation.
- cdrecord changed from defaulting to TAO to SAO. The next (after 3.0)
release will make the write mode drive dependent.
This is a lot more stability than you get from Solaris (see recent tar -/
discussion).
If you like to have a cdrw emulation for cdrecord, you are invited to write it.
