MetaFS Development Update

It's been well over a month since the last MetaFS release, so I think some kind of progress report is in order. I setup a Trac environment (link below) to help me track (no pun ;P) my progress and To-Do items on MetaFS.

The 0.1.3 release is pretty close now. All that remains are some hooks to add, some cleanups to do, and some documentation to finish. I can't promise a specific date, unfortunately, because school has started again. :-/

I should note there will be one incompatible change from 0.1.2: MetaFS will require the Boost C++ libraries. I did this because Boost has some useful threading and function primitives that have saved me a fair amount of development time (and kept the codebase cleaner).

The past month has seen me working only in very sporadic spurts, through finals (which were in mid-March). The bulk of that work has gone towards refactoring the plugin system, and the rest of it has been directed towards cleaning up and bugfixing in general. The next release should be more stable than 0.1.2.

For those of you who want to develop plugins for MetaFS, please take a look at the upcoming 0.1.3 release. I am especially interested in feedback on the documentation, and on how to improve the plugin system.

The Trac site (temporarily): https://svn.condordes.net/metafs/trac.cgi
Documentation (regenerated nightly, but again, temporarily): http://www.condordes.net/metafs/doc/html/
Boost libraries: http://www.boost.org/

Be aware that both condordes.net links are on my home (DSL) server, so please be gentle. Also note that the documentation still isn't complete, but edits on what's there are welcome.
