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(),
Miklos Szerediede1f7a2005-04-01 21:08:57 +0000[diff] [blame^]4 releasedir() and fsyncdir()
5
6 - Add init() and destroy() operations which are called before the
7 event loop is started and after it has exited
Miklos Szeredi18fce982005-04-01 21:07:35 +0000[diff] [blame]8
9 - Update kernel ABI so that on dual architectures (e.g. AMD64) 32bit
10 binaries work under a 64bit kernel
11
12 - Bugfixes
13
Miklos Szeredi67453ec2005-01-18 07:59:08 +0000[diff] [blame]14What is new in 2.2
15
16Userspace changes:
17
Miklos Szeredi966c8de2005-01-20 12:52:08 +0000[diff] [blame]18 - Add fuse_file_info structure to file operations, this allows the
19 filesystem to return a file handle in open() which is passed to
20 read(), write(), flush(), fsync() and release().
Miklos Szeredi67453ec2005-01-18 07:59:08 +0000[diff] [blame]21
22 - Add source compatibility with 2.1 and 1.4 releases
23
24 - Binary compatibility with 2.1 release is retained
25
26Kernel changes:
27
28 - Make requests interruptible. This prevents the filesystem to go
29 into an unbreakable deadlock with itself.
30
31 - Make readpages() synchronous. Asynchronous requests are deadlock
32 prone, since they cannot be interrupted (see above)
33
34 - Remove shared-writeable mapping support, which could deadlock the
35 machine
36
37 - Remove INVALIDATE userspace initiated request
38
39 - Update ABI to be independent of sizeof(long), so dual-size archs
40 don't cause problems
41
42 - Remove /sys/fs/fuse/version. Version checking is now done through
43 the fuse device
44
Miklos Szeredi966c8de2005-01-20 12:52:08 +0000[diff] [blame]45 - Replace directory reading method on the kernel interface. Instead
46 of passing an open file descriptor to the kernel, send data through
47 the FUSE device, like all other operations.
