+What is new in 2.2
+
+Userspace changes:
+
+ - Add fuse_file_info structure to file operations, this allows the filesystem
+ to return a file handle in open() which is passed to read(), write(), flush(),
+ fsync() and release().
+
+ - Add source compatibility with 2.1 and 1.4 releases
+
+ - Binary compatibility with 2.1 release is retained
+
+Kernel changes:
+
+ - Make requests interruptible. This prevents the filesystem to go
+ into an unbreakable deadlock with itself.
+
+ - Make readpages() synchronous. Asynchronous requests are deadlock
+ prone, since they cannot be interrupted (see above)
+
+ - Remove shared-writeable mapping support, which could deadlock the
+ machine
+
+ - Remove INVALIDATE userspace initiated request
+
+ - Update ABI to be independent of sizeof(long), so dual-size archs
+ don't cause problems
+
+ - Remove /sys/fs/fuse/version. Version checking is now done through
+ the fuse device
