[fuse-devel] release candidate #2 for fuse-2.6.0

[Miklos S. <mi...@sz...>]

First of all, big thanks to everyone for testing 2.6.0-rc1 and
reporting bugs.  A new release candidate is available from:

   http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/fuse/fuse-2.6.0-rc2.tar.gz

Compiling the kernel module from the source package now only works for
Linux kernel versions 2.6.9 or later.  For other cases the kernel
module from the previous release (2.5.*) should be perfectly usable
with this release.

Other changes from -rc1:

  - Handle "remote rename" more correctly on filesystems using the
    low level interface

  - Add support for block device based filesystems.  Ntfs-3g needs
    this for swap file support

  - Add an init-script, which is installed as /etc/init.d/fuse.  This
    inserts the fuse kernel module (if needed) and mounts the control
    filesystem on /sys/fs/fuse/connections (*)

  - API tweaking (lock owner ID is now part of fuse_file_info)

Please retest previous probelms with this release, to make sure no bug
fix has been accidentaly left out.

Thanks,
Miklos

(*) On Debian/Ubuntu/??? "make install" also sets up the necessary
symlinks into /etc/rc.d/.  For other systems patches/info for this are
welcome.
