After a long, long wait, here is the all shiny and new first ntfsprogs-1.8.0 beta release. Several bug fixes, compatibility with newer gcc compilers, and lots of new utilities such as ntfscat, ntfsclone, ntfscluster, ntfsinfo and ntfsls are the highlights of this release. Download the tarball, source rpm or precompiled binary rpms from: http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/downloads.html Please test and let us know how you get on! Here is the change log since the last stable release (1.7.1): * Further work on attribute resizing. * Fix two logic inversion bugs in dir.c. Thanks to Russ Christensen for finding the first one. * Fix attempt to release I30 internal constant. (Russ Christensen) * Fix off-by-one error in disk_io.c::ntfs_cluster_{read,write}(). (Ian Jackson) * Add -fms-extensions when compiling with gcc-3.2+. * Update for newer autoconf/automake. * Abstract low level device operations (include/device,h and libntfs/device.c) and adapt utilities to changes. * Added ntfsclone utility written by Szabolcs Szakacsits. * Added ntfsls utility written by Lode Leroy. * Fix bugs in dir.c::ntfs_readdir() where we try to close ia_na when it is NULL. * Return errno ENOTDIR from dir.c::ntfs_readdir() when called with a file inode. * Fix a silly bug in attrib.c::ntfs_external_attr_find() which caused us to always return the same attribute during an enumeration as soon as the end of the attributes to be enumerated was reached thus causing the program doing the enumeration to hang in a tight loop. NOTE: There is still work to do as ctx->al_entry is set to NULL instead of to the position in the attribute list at which to insert. * Added man pages for the new utilities (Richard Russon and me). * Lots of extensions and cleanups to ntfsls. * Move common bits from disk_io.c into device.c and rename the Unix io specific code that remains to unix_io.c to complement win32_io.c. * Integrate win32_io.c into the build process so win32_io ops are used when compiling under Cygwin and standard Unix style io ops are used otherwise. * Add new utility ntfscat (Richard Russon) and a corresponding man page. * Other assorted bugfixes and developments (see NEWS and bk changes).
