Now '/dev/fuse' is a requirement - - - Allow module auto-loading if user has access to '/dev/fuse' - - - Allow mounting over a regular file for unprivileged users - - - Allow mounting of arbitrary FUSE filesystems from /etc/fstab - - - New mount options: 'umask=M', 'uid=N', 'gid=N' - - - Check for non-empty mountpoint, and refuse mount by default.

Until now these timeouts were fixed at 1 sec. - - - Some bugfixes - -============================================================================ - -What is new in 2.3 - - - Add new directory related operations: opendir(), readdir(), - releasedir() and fsyncdir() - - - Add init() and destroy() operations which are called before the - event loop is started and after it has exited - - - Update kernel ABI so that on dual architectures (e.g. AMD64) 32bit - binaries work under a 64bit kernel - - - Bugfixes - -============================================================================ - -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 - - - Replace directory reading method on the kernel interface. Instead - of passing an open file descriptor to the kernel, send data through - the FUSE device, like all other operations. - -============================================================================ - -What is new in 2.1 - -* Bug fixes - -* Improved support for filesystems implementing a custom event-loop - -* Add 'pkg-config' support - -* Kernel module can be compiled separately - -============================================================================ - -What is new in 1.9 - -* Lots of bugs fixed - -* Minor modifications to the library API - -* Improvements to the kernel/userspace interface - -* Mounting by non-root made more secure - -* Build shared library in addition to the static one - -* Consolidated mount options - -* Optimized reading under 2.6 kernels - -* Direct I/O support - -* Support file I/O on deleted files - -* Extended attributes support - -============================================================================ - -What is new in 1.3 - -* Thanks to user bugreports and stress testing with LTP and sfx-linux -a number of bugs were fixed, some quite serious. - -* Fix compile problems with recent SuSE kernles - -============================================================================ - -What is new in 1.2 - -* Fix mount problems on recent 2.6 kernels with SELinux enabled - -* Fixed writing files lager than 2GBytes - -* Other bugfixes - -============================================================================ - -What is new in 1.1 - -* Support for the 2.6 kernels - -* Support for exporting filesystem over NFS in 2.6 kernels - -* Read efficiency improvements: read in 64k blocks instead of 4k -(Michael Grigoriev).
