MetaFS 0.1.3 Released

MetaFS allows users to access information about their files (such as MP3 tags or JPEG EXIF tags) easily and consistently using extended attributes. It also allows them to perform fast searches using this information. It can be easily extended by writing plugins to support new types of metadata and uses the FUSE library to act as a layer between user programs and the filesystem, which allows indexes to be kept up-to-date in realtime, and eliminates the need for a specialized metadata API.

Version 0.1.3 of MetaFS contains mostly changes that are not directly visible to the user. However, there are a few updates worth noting:

- The plugin system has been completely redesigned and is now more flexible.

-- The MetaFS API reference has been extensively updated. It now also covers the new plugin system.

-- There are several bugfixes which should lead to greater stability and correctness.

Users should also read the NEWS file included in the MetaFS distribution for more information and a list of known issues.
