Utilities for Cryptographic Filesystems / News: Recent posts

Changes since the version 1.0.1:
* Ensures that progress messages are written
to the standard error and not to the standard
error.
* Removes a useless progress message
about the fsck mount option.
* Ignores and unblock signals in child processes.
This avoids races with child commands
which unblock all signals.
* Fixes mount option regression:
encryption implies loop.

The cryptfs-utils package extends the functionality of the mount and the umount commands by adding support for basic device mapper devices (for the dm-linear and the dm-crypt devices), for key files and scripts and for filesystem checking at mount time while retaining support for loop device encryption. Key files can contain plaintext keys or keys encrypted using GnuPG or OpenSSL.

Changes since the last release:
* Does not let ordinary users interrupt device setup commands.
* Always unblocks signals before executing child commands.
* Simplifies device option flag handling.
* Includes license in manual pages.

Mount options:
* Fixes support for startsector without numsectors,
* Makes cipher and ivoffset to imply noluks.
* Adds support for autoluks.
Device IDs are represented using major and minor numbers.

Fixes handling of terminal signals.
Adds support for faked and sloppy mounts.
