Miklos Szeredi | 3b534a4 | 2005-12-09 20:09:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 1 | What is new in 2.5 |
| 2 | |
| 3 | - Merge library part of FreeBSD port |
| 4 | |
| 5 | - New atomic create+open, access and ftruncate operations |
| 6 | |
| 7 | - On filesystems implementing the new create+open operation, and |
| 8 | running on Linux kernels 2.6.15 or later, the 'cp' operation will |
| 9 | work correctly when copying read-only files. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | - New option parsing interface added to the library |
| 12 | |
| 13 | - Lots of minor improvements and fixes |
| 14 | |

| 16 | |
| 17 | - Simplify device opening. Now '/dev/fuse' is a requirement |
| 18 | |
| 19 | - Allow module auto-loading if user has access to '/dev/fuse' |
| 20 | |
| 21 | - Allow mounting over a regular file for unprivileged users |
| 22 | |
| 23 | - Allow mounting of arbitrary FUSE filesystems from /etc/fstab |
| 24 | |
| 25 | - New mount options: 'umask=M', 'uid=N', 'gid=N' |
| 26 | |
| 27 | - Check for non-empty mountpoint, and refuse mount by default. New |
| 28 | mount option: 'nonempty' |
| 29 | |
| 30 | - Low level (inode based) API added |
| 31 | |
Miklos Szeredi | c43f941 | 2005-08-15 15:10:48 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 32 | - Allow 'direct_io' and 'keep_cache' options to be set on a |
| 33 | case-by-case basis on open. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | - Add 'attr_timeout' and 'entry_timeout' mount options to the |
| 36 | high-level library. Until now these timeouts were fixed at 1 sec. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | - Some bugfixes |
| 39 | |
Miklos Szeredi | 18fce98 | 2005-04-01 21:07:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 40 | What is new in 2.3 |
| 41 | |
| 42 | - Add new directory related operations: opendir(), readdir(), |
Miklos Szeredi | ede1f7a | 2005-04-01 21:08:57 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 43 | releasedir() and fsyncdir() |
| 44 | |
| 45 | - Add init() and destroy() operations which are called before the |
| 46 | event loop is started and after it has exited |
Miklos Szeredi | 18fce98 | 2005-04-01 21:07:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 47 | |
| 48 | - Update kernel ABI so that on dual architectures (e.g. AMD64) 32bit |
| 49 | binaries work under a 64bit kernel |
| 50 | |
| 51 | - Bugfixes |
| 52 | |
Miklos Szeredi | 67453ec | 2005-01-18 07:59:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 53 | What is new in 2.2 |
| 54 | |
| 55 | Userspace changes: |
| 56 | |
Miklos Szeredi | 966c8de | 2005-01-20 12:52:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 57 | - Add fuse_file_info structure to file operations, this allows the |
| 58 | filesystem to return a file handle in open() which is passed to |
| 59 | read(), write(), flush(), fsync() and release(). |
Miklos Szeredi | 67453ec | 2005-01-18 07:59:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 60 | |
| 61 | - Add source compatibility with 2.1 and 1.4 releases |
| 62 | |
| 63 | - Binary compatibility with 2.1 release is retained |
| 64 | |
| 65 | Kernel changes: |
| 66 | |
| 67 | - Make requests interruptible. This prevents the filesystem to go |
| 68 | into an unbreakable deadlock with itself. |
| 69 | |
| 70 | - Make readpages() synchronous. Asynchronous requests are deadlock |
| 71 | prone, since they cannot be interrupted (see above) |
| 72 | |
| 73 | - Remove shared-writeable mapping support, which could deadlock the |
| 74 | machine |
| 75 | |
| 76 | - Remove INVALIDATE userspace initiated request |
| 77 | |
| 78 | - Update ABI to be independent of sizeof(long), so dual-size archs |
| 79 | don't cause problems |
| 80 | |
| 81 | - Remove /sys/fs/fuse/version. Version checking is now done through |
| 82 | the fuse device |
| 83 | |
Miklos Szeredi | 966c8de | 2005-01-20 12:52:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 84 | - Replace directory reading method on the kernel interface. Instead |
| 85 | of passing an open file descriptor to the kernel, send data through |
| 86 | the FUSE device, like all other operations. |
