• Fix calculating offset using scrambled read as audio when device is in database.
• Fix detecting indexes in track 1.
• Fix dumping when read subchannel is PQ only.
• Fix infinite loop failing to cross Lead-Out dumping CDs.
• Fix infinite loop on some CD track mode changes while dumping.
• Fix not exiting when an image cannot be appended.
• Fix opening SecureDigital / MultiMediaCard devices.
• Fix pregap calculation in track mode changes when pregap ends in 0.
• Fix reading OCR from newer versions of Linux sysfs.
• Fix re-setting track pregap when a read subchannel indicates a different value.
• Fix reversing list of bad blocks only if we're retrying backwards.
• Fix setting track pregaps from subchannel.
• Fix setting track subchannel type to the desired type.
• Handle discs that have pregap ending in LBA 1 instead of ending in LBA 0.
• If block 0 can not be read, try another random block before deciding media cannot be read, for SBC and ATA.
• If track mode can not be guessed, try again after pregap.
• Make pregap calculation faster in some drive/disc combinations.
• On errors when dumping with INSITE floptical drives, always stop, as these drives have a SCSI bus quirk that makes them need a reset on modern software stacks after an error has been found.
• Trim as audio when we know it is an audio sector, fixes some firmware bugs in audio pregap after a data track.
• Update the pregap while dumping if found to be bigger than known one.
• Use SCSI MEDIUM SCAN to find the first readable block.
