* K3b has a new look created by Everaldo, the crystal man. But the original look from Ayo is still there and may be choosen in the new thememanager. Yes, that's true, K3b has a simple thememanager.
* Thankt to Carsten Niehaus we now have a simple K3b Handbook.
* Completely reimplemented CD Copy featuring Multisession and Enhanced Audio CD Copy, CD-Text directly or via Cddb and no use of cdrdao which caused so much trouble in the past.
* VideoCD ripping which allows you to rip the MPEG videos to harddisk.
* New CD image writing dialog which replaced the dialogs for ISO9660 image writing and cue/bin image writing. It includes auto detection of the image type and cdrecord clone image support.
* Greatly enhanced Audio decoding:
o Generic resampling support for all decoder plugins. That means K3b now properly decodes non 44100 Hz files.
o Generic support for mono files.
o Support for 8bit Wave files.
o Thanks to John Steele Scott we now have a FLAC decoding plugin.
o Technical info of the audio files is displayed in the audio track properties now.
o I even finished a Monkey Audio decoding and encoding plugin. But since the author of the Monkey Audio SDK did not answer to my mails I cannot release it yet.
* Much better meta tag handling in audio encoding (for example one may now add the album name).
* Automatic writing speed selection which always chooses the highest possible speed with the used media.
* New option to ignore the speed setting for DVD writing since some writers refuse it.
* Enhanced DVD Copy to determine the proper track size. Now even bootable DVDs should be copied properly.
* One may now overwrite files from an old session in the data project.
* Greatly enhanced data verification without mounting the device. So no problems with supermount anymore.
* Joliet-long support: Using 103 chanracter joliet names.
* Auto detection of Justlink in addition to Burnfree.
* Full kernel 2.6 support (thanks to Ismail (cartman) Dömez)
* Added a script which starts the K3bSetup2 KControlCenter module since a lot of users had problems finding it.
* A lot of little improvements and fixes.
Edit: Mandrake 9.1 RPMs are ready
