K3b 2.0 released with Blu-ray support

“Today the reformed K3b team within the KDE Community is proud
to release the final 2.0 of the premier disk recording application,
codenamed “Komeback”. Although pre-release versions have already
enjoyed widespread adoption, we’d like to recap some of the
highlights of this release.

“K3b 2.0 marks the last milestone in the effort to port one of
the most popular disk recording applications to KDE’s current
Platform 4. Although some parts still use legacy libraries, the
application takes advantage of the new platform and integrates
better with it. Solid, the KDE hardware layer, is now used for
hardware detection.

“On the interface front K3b 2.0 is a direct port of its KDE3
predecessor. The overall look remains the same but it now uses
modern widgets. For example, file browser shows a list of KDE’s
global Places and takes advantage of the breadcrumb bar. The icons
have also been updated to match the rest of the Oxygen theme.”
