Current news
============
+mkntfs now creates NTFS 3.1 (Windows XP) volumes by default. The old NTFS 1.2
+format is now deprecated and whilst it can still be specified using a command
+line option, it will be removed in a future release.
+
ntfsmount can create/delete/move files and directories! It is not a full
implementation, thus sometimes it will say 'Operation is not supported',
nothing bad will happen to user data in this case. (Yura Pakhuchiy)
+Older news
+==========
+
Add new utility: ntfsmount. It is a FUSE module that uses on libntfs. So,
you need FUSE 2.3 to compile it. This module supports file overwrite including
changing the file size and can read/write/add/remove named data streams via
"file:stream" interface and list them via "ntfs.streams.list" extended
attribute (this only if xattr support is enabled). (Yura Pakhuchiy)

Attribute resize code for normal and sparse files is completed. Thus, ntfscp
should always successfully overwrite any normal or sparse file even if file
size is changed. (Yura Pakhuchiy)

so applications using ntfsresize might need modifications before they will
work with the updated ntfsresize. (Szakacsits Szabolcs)
-ntfsprogs now should ./configure and compile cleanly on SuSE as well as RedHat
-Linux.
-
ntfsprogs ("make libs" only) now compiles on FreeBSD, NetBSD, Windows (Cygwin),
and DOS (DJGPP). Thanks to Christophe Grenier for DOS and FreeBSD testing
and fixes and to Lode Leroy for Windows testing and fixes.

+- Correct support for creating volumes with larger sector sizes (mft record

- Got a report that creating a floppy with mkntfs failed. Difference between
this floppy and the floppy created by the special tool found on the net was
said to be that the bitmap is 256kib on the special floppy while mkntfs will
