Some time ago, a friend of mine wanted to equip his software with a CD burning feature. He asked me for help and Galba was the result. Galba is a CD/DVD burning software which uses IMAPI2, the built-in disc-writing engine of Windows. It does not have many features and was written under lack of time, but it has proven to be helpful. Therefore I decided to publish it under the terms of the LGPL license. Currently I have no plans to improve Galba, but feel free to send me patches.
The latest version of Galba is 1.2.0, which has been released on February 24th, 2014.

Changelog
The following changes have been made since the release of the previous version:
- Don’t show lots of messages if the recorder’s firmware or driver is crappy.
- Applications now can control Galba using XML messages sent over a named pipe. Contact me for details.
- Disabled the Cancel button when adding directories to the compilation. This operation could not be cancelled anyway because IMAPI does not support it.
- Changed the default ISO9660 level to level 2.
- Switched to Visual C++ 2010.
