For GNU/Linux, the SG_IO driver is used by default
for accessing optical drives. This resolves the problem
with system freezes on parallel SCSI adapters which were
caused by the old CDROM_SEND_PACKET driver.
The RS03 codec now contains Altivec optimizations
on PowerPC platforms.

Windows and Mac OS X versions of 0.72.2 are now available.
They were built using the updated development environment of 0.79.x.
This results in shipping with newer versions of the GTK+ libraries
and might yield slightly different visuals and behaviour.

The first version of the new development branch (0.79.1) has just
been released. This release is meant for testing new functions;
it is not recommended for doing productive work. See the

what has been changed and how you can participate in testing.

<tr><td>
The Windows versions of dvdisaster 0.70.x/0.72.x are shipped with an outdated
GTK library containing vulnerabilities in its image processing routines.
To exploit the vulnerability, manipulated images need to be loaded from
an external source. Since dvdisaster does not contain/use such functions,
these vulnerabilities are not considered to be a threat.<p>
It is not recommended to replace GTK in the 0.70.x/0.72.x versions of
dvdisaster as some interfaces have been changed in newer GTK versions.
Replacing GTK will likely cause severe malfunction.<p>
The windows version of dvdisaster 0.73.1 will have updated interfaces
and will be shipped with a current version of GTK.<p>
Many thanks to all users who brought this issue to my attention.
