Per chi utilizza l'autoaggiornamento:

For those who cannot update XLD from this dialog: some "bad-mannered" app hook plugins including the old Sparkle framework (ClickToFlash, for example) conflict with Sparkle in XLD. Disable those plugins before the update.

Nella finestra Andamento Attività si vedrà una sola conversione in atto, ma si otterranno i 3 file specificati nella seconda figura.

Version 20101115:

• Introduced a new original secure ripping engine
This is a brand-new secure ripping engine employing a statistical error correction and a cache defeat. Generally it shows a better and more consistent result than the existing CDParanoia engine, especially on slightly damaged discs. At this moment it is not turned on by default, but I recommend everyone try it. Enabled by setting "Ripper Mode" option to "XLD Secure Ripper".
Here is a description of the error in the report:

1. Jitter error (maybe fixed)
   Number of reads which caused a jitter error. The error occurs when seeking between sectors back and forward heavily - the drive fails to return the accurate sector position and returns a slightly moved position. Fixed by the program in most cases.
2. Retry sector count
   Number of sectors which needed a retry read. The program performs a retry read when the 1st and the 2nd (verify) read results do not match (or when C2 error is detected). In case a statistically consistent result was found with the retry reads, this count is incremented. Not a problem in most cases.
3. Damaged sector count
   Number of sectors in which the program was unable to find a statistically consistent result with the retry reads. Bad result in most cases.

• Implemented a new CD ripper backed
Libcdio was used as a backend so far, but now it has been replaced with my original implementation. Many troubles like a hangup on CD-extra discs should be fixed now.
• Removed a support for CDParanoia II 9.8 engine
