They added a lot of bugs that are not in the original software. You thus cannot think about cdrecord but talk about wodim. Cdrecord would not soon need new CD related features but wodim is also based on a 3+ year old cdrecord version that misses features that are present in cdrecord for a while. Look at the bug list I send you to find the obvious problems. It nicely also shows up many bugs "cdrkit" added to it's mkisofs version: e.g. broken support for Joliet, broken support for UTF-8 based locales and a broken "implementation" for files > 4 GB. Of course, the real problem is that there have been changes in libscg and wodim that are a result of a hostile attitude against a platform-neutral CLI and a result of denying the need for extended privileges to write CDs/DVDs. These changes make wodim harder to use than the original and hide problems that are reported early in the original - in wodim the resulting problems are reported late and in a hard to classify way.
