Why?
Because Sebastian fixed "a lot" of bugs. (Probably not my bug).
He makes a great effort to keep up on things. He has even sent
me special test programs to work on an eject/inject problem
I was having a while back.
Take a trip over to http://k3b.org/ and you will see a list.
For instance, in 1.0.5 he fixed the following:
* Fixed CD Copy device selection when starting from the KDE "run"
dialog (Bug 151924)
* Fixed HAL mounting (thanks to Ken Milmore)
* Always wait for the drive to become ready before starting
verification (this should fix some of the problems with failed
verification where K3b claims that no medium is in the drive.)
The version CentOS uses is so, so old, it is not even on his
list of bugs.
If there are fixes for problems that affect the software that 'a
prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor' is shipping, they
tend to backport those fixes into the version they're shipping and
release an update. And so those fixes also end up in CentOS. You might
not see the version number increase, but problems are fixed. Also see
this document: http://www.redhat.com/advice/speaks_backport.html In
fact: this practice is a large part of what makes these enterprise
Linux distributions 'enterprise'. Upgrading to a new version with new
features probably also means upgrading to new bugs.
