| What is new in 2.4 |
| |
| - Simplify device opening. Now '/dev/fuse' is a requirement |
| |
| - Allow module auto-loading if user has access to '/dev/fuse' |
| |
| - Allow mounting over a regular file for unprivileged users |
| |
| - Allow mounting of arbitrary FUSE filesystems from /etc/fstab |
| |
| - New mount options: 'umask=M', 'uid=N', 'gid=N' |
| |
| - Check for non-empty mountpoint, and refuse mount by default. New |
| mount option: 'nonempty' |
| |
| - Low level (inode based) API added |
| |
| - Allow 'direct_io' and 'keep_cache' options to be set on a |
| case-by-case basis on open. |
| |
| - Add 'attr_timeout' and 'entry_timeout' mount options to the |
| high-level library. Until now these timeouts were fixed at 1 sec. |
| |
| - Some bugfixes |
| |
| What is new in 2.3 |
| |
| - Add new directory related operations: opendir(), readdir(), |
| releasedir() and fsyncdir() |
| |
| - Add init() and destroy() operations which are called before the |
| event loop is started and after it has exited |
| |
| - Update kernel ABI so that on dual architectures (e.g. AMD64) 32bit |
| binaries work under a 64bit kernel |
| |
| - Bugfixes |
| |
| What is new in 2.2 |
| |
| Userspace changes: |
| |
| - Add fuse_file_info structure to file operations, this allows the |
| filesystem to return a file handle in open() which is passed to |
| read(), write(), flush(), fsync() and release(). |
| |
| - Add source compatibility with 2.1 and 1.4 releases |
| |
| - Binary compatibility with 2.1 release is retained |
| |
| Kernel changes: |
| |
| - Make requests interruptible. This prevents the filesystem to go |
| into an unbreakable deadlock with itself. |
| |
| - Make readpages() synchronous. Asynchronous requests are deadlock |
| prone, since they cannot be interrupted (see above) |
| |
| - Remove shared-writeable mapping support, which could deadlock the |
| machine |
| |
| - Remove INVALIDATE userspace initiated request |
| |
| - Update ABI to be independent of sizeof(long), so dual-size archs |
| don't cause problems |
| |
| - Remove /sys/fs/fuse/version. Version checking is now done through |
| the fuse device |
| |
| - Replace directory reading method on the kernel interface. Instead |
| of passing an open file descriptor to the kernel, send data through |
| the FUSE device, like all other operations. |
