Please have a closer look on _what_ was changed in this "release". This have 
been mainly single char typo corrections but the > 100 well known bugs that 
exist as long as the fork exists have never been fixed. 

On the original software, you see more changes (enhancements and fixes) in a 
lazy week than the "cdrkit project" did get since May 6th 2007 in total.

In the fork, problems are ignored. In the original software, problems are fixed 
very soon; typically within hours. This is why there are no known problems in 
the original software.

The fork did not publish a single version that was known to be without bugs at 
the time of publishing. The original cdrtools project did publish more than 70
releases in the same time and more than 60 of them did have not a single bug 
when they have been published.
