Ext2Fsd v0.23 is released !

==================================
Release Notes for Ext2Fsd V0.23
==================================

Modifications from V0.22b

Bug Fixed:

The following two bugs caused most of the BSODs about removable medias.
1, Ext2ReadSync: Thread stack is paged out, which casues "Event" is invalid.
2, Ext2InitializeVcb: Ext2Global->McbList is referred before initializing.

Features Newly Supported:

1, Multi codepages supported

In registry, ther's a new item named "CodePage", just change it to the
codepage name you want to use. The codepage name is the same to linux
system.

Here's the codepages list:

big5 cp1251 cp1255 cp437 cp737 cp775 cp850 cp852 cp855
cp857 cp860 cp861 cp862 cp863 cp864 cp865 cp866 cp869
cp874 cp949 cp950 euc_jp euc_kr iso8859_1 iso8859_13
iso8859_14 iso8859_15 iso8859_2 iso8859_3 iso8859_4 iso8859_5
iso8859_6 iso8859_7 iso8859_8 iso8859_9 koi8_r koi8_ru koi8_u
sjis tis_620 cp936 gb2312 utf8

If you don't specify it or make a wrong page type, system default OEM
codepage will be used.

You must re-start ext2fsd or reboot your system after your chaning
the codepage setting to make it work for you.

======================
How to install
======================

1, start a dos shell (cmd.exe)
2, cd /ext2fsd_install_path/setup
3, run "setup" 2k or "setup xp", deponding your system.
setup 2k: to install ext2fsd for windows 200
setup xp: to install ext2fsd for windows xp

notes: The driver is set to start automatically after your system boots.
You can the settings if you don't like it. See FAQ.txt please.

4, now you can mount the ext2 partitions now

======================
How to mount
======================

1, You may need execute "diskmgmt.msc" under a dos cmd box to get the driver
and partition number of your ext2 volumes. For first disk id is 0, the
first partition number is 1 ...
2, Example: to mount the 3rd partition of the 2nd disk as driver z:
mount 1 3 z:

======================
How to umount
======================

1, umount <driver letter>
Example: "umount z:" is to umount the driver z:

Ext2fsd v0.23 is not strong yet in writing support, I recommend you create a
little ext2 partition as a swap between winnt and linux or use bosse's filedisk
to create an image file. Please see faq.txt for detail info of mounting an image
file as a partition with the help of filedisk.

Notes: I release it just for file system driver development. The driver may
crash your system and ruin your data. You should use it with care and use it
at your own risk!
