Watermarks & descriptions — Updated across all views to mention CHD format support
VerifyService.cs — CHD verification support

2. Disc Information Panel

DiscInfoService.cs — Comprehensive disc information retrieval service (1100+ lines) supporting:
- Physical format detection (CD-R, CD-RW, DVD±R, DVD±R DL, BD-R, BD-RE, etc.)
- Media manufacturer lookup via ATIP and Disc ID database (422 entries in MediaManufacturerLookup.cs)
- Write speed and capability detection
- Disc status (blank, finished, closed, empty)
- Session and track count
- Lead-in/Lead-out info
- Support status flags (isBurned, isRewritable, isDualLayer, etc.)
DiscInfoView.axaml / .cs — New view displaying all disc properties in a rich layout
DiscInfoResult.cs, DiscMedia.cs, PhysicalFormatInfo.cs, AtipInfo.cs — Model classes for disc information
WindowsDeviceNotifier.cs — Device change monitoring for disc insertion/removal
DriveWatcherService.cs — Service to track drive state changes
NativeDeviceDiscovery.Windows.cs — Windows-native device discovery via SetupAPI

Themed interaction states — Icons respond to hover, active, and disabled states

4. Splash Screen

SplashWindow.axaml / .cs — Custom splash window displayed on app startup
Custom background image — Supports splash-bg.png in app directory for branding
Version display — Shows build version on splash
Auto-dismiss — Transitions to main window after loading completes

5. About Dialog

About button in main window toolbar opens a dialog with app info
Displays version, description, and fork notice
Integrated into the Help view and main navigation

6. Settings Enhancements

SettingsView.axaml.cs — Settings persistence, dark theme toggle (planned), chdman validation

7. Logging Improvements

10. Code Quality & Maintenance

BurnEngine.cs — Fixed simulation mode: SCSI WRITE commands now send correct Simu bit
OpticalDrive.cs — Fixed simulation mode detection logic
MainWindow.axaml — Redesigned layout with icon toolbar, improved spacing, cleaner navigation
HelpView.axaml — Restructured with categorized help sections
Various .csproj updates for new dependencies and asset bundling

Is there also something in there that fixes issue #5, the one I just made? I think I might try building it myself to find out.

not sure.. I added some support to CHD, refactored the UI emoji things, and added a new disc info utility.. maybe you can understand more in the new disc info.. you can check in my fork, there is an release there as well.. also, if you open the issue there I can also see how to address it.
