Miklos Szeredi18fce982005-04-01 21:07:35 +0000[diff] [blame^]1What is new in 2.3
2
3 - Add new directory related operations: opendir(), readdir(),
4 releasedir() and fsyncdir().
5
6 - Update kernel ABI so that on dual architectures (e.g. AMD64) 32bit
7 binaries work under a 64bit kernel
8
9 - Bugfixes

Miklos Szeredi67453ec2005-01-18 07:59:08 +0000[diff] [blame]11What is new in 2.2
12
13Userspace changes:
14
Miklos Szeredi966c8de2005-01-20 12:52:08 +0000[diff] [blame]15 - Add fuse_file_info structure to file operations, this allows the
16 filesystem to return a file handle in open() which is passed to
17 read(), write(), flush(), fsync() and release().
Miklos Szeredi67453ec2005-01-18 07:59:08 +0000[diff] [blame]18
19 - Add source compatibility with 2.1 and 1.4 releases
20
21 - Binary compatibility with 2.1 release is retained
22
23Kernel changes:
24
25 - Make requests interruptible. This prevents the filesystem to go
26 into an unbreakable deadlock with itself.
27
28 - Make readpages() synchronous. Asynchronous requests are deadlock
29 prone, since they cannot be interrupted (see above)
30
31 - Remove shared-writeable mapping support, which could deadlock the
32 machine
33
34 - Remove INVALIDATE userspace initiated request
35
36 - Update ABI to be independent of sizeof(long), so dual-size archs
37 don't cause problems
38
39 - Remove /sys/fs/fuse/version. Version checking is now done through
40 the fuse device
41
Miklos Szeredi966c8de2005-01-20 12:52:08 +0000[diff] [blame]42 - Replace directory reading method on the kernel interface. Instead
43 of passing an open file descriptor to the kernel, send data through
44 the FUSE device, like all other operations.
