2004-07-13  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Add FUSE_HARD_REMOVE flag, and '-i' option to fuse main, which
	disable the "hide if open" behavior of unlink/rename.

	* If temporary buffer allocation fails in raw read, fall back to a
	smaller buffer
 	
2004-07-12  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix bug in do_open() in libfuse: open count was incremented
	after the reply is sent so it could race with unlink/forget and
	cause an abort.
	
2004-07-08  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* When performing create or remove operation, refresh the parent's
	attributes on next revalidate, as i_nlink (and maybe size/time)
	could be inacurate.

	* Use redirty_page_for_writepage() in fuse_writepage() for skipped
	pages (2.6 only)

	* Set set_page_dirty address space operation (2.6 only)

2004-07-06  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Minor fix in read:  print debug info even if read size is zero

2004-07-04  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix race between truncate and writepage (fsx-linux now runs
	without error)

2004-07-02  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix kernel hang on mkfifo under 2.4 kernels (spotted and patch
	by Mattias Wadman)

	* Added option for direct read/write (-r)

	* Fix revalidate time setting for newly created inodes

	* Remove uid==0 check for '-x' option in fusermount (kernel checks
	this)

	* fuse_main() only installs handlers for signals (out of INT, HUP,
	TERM, PIPE), for which no handler has yet been installed

	* Add module option 'user_allow_other' which if set to non-zero
	will allow non root user to specify the 'allow_other' mount option
	('-x' option of fusermount)

	* Fix deadlock between page writeback completion and truncate
	(bug found by Valient Gough with the fsx-linux utility)

2004-07-01  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Change passing fuse include dir to 2.6 kernel make system more
	robust (fixes compile problems seen on SuSE 9.1 with updated 2.6
	kernel)

2004-06-30  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Acquire inode->i_sem before open and release methods to prevent
	concurrent rename or unlink operations.

	* Make __fuse_read_cmd() read only one command.  This allows
	multiplexing the fuse file descriptor with other event sources
	using select() or poll() (patch by Jeff Harris)

	* Export 'exited' flag with __fuse_exited() (patch by Jeff Harris)

2004-06-27  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix file offset wrap around at 4G when doing large reads

2004-06-24  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix memory leak in open (Valient Gough)

2004-06-24  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Add "close after delete" support to libfuse (patch by Valient
	Gough)

	* Cancel all worker threads before exit in multithreaded mode

2004-06-23  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix locking bugs

	* Don't send reply to RELEASE

	* Work with newer libtool (1.5a)

	* Check for st_atim member of struct stat
	
2004-06-22  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* No request allocation needed on inode and file release
	
2004-06-21  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix possible inode leak in userspace in case of unfinished
	lookup/mknod/mkdir/symlink/link operation.
	
2004-06-20  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix some races and cleanups in fuse_read_super()
	
2004-06-19  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Requests are allocated at open time
	
2004-06-03  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Build shared library as well as static (using libtool)

	* Change FUSE_MINOR_VERSION from 1 to 0.  I know it's illegal but
	there has not been a release with the previous minor number, and I
	hope nobody is using it for anything.

	* Change fuse_main(), so that default behavior is to go into
	background if mount is successful.  '-f' and '-d' options disable
	backgrounding.  This fixes the "Why does my FUSE daemon hang?"
	newbie complaint.

	* Cache ENOSYS (function not implemented) errors on *xattr, flush
	and fsync

	* Don't call getdir method from open() only from first readdir().
	Open is sometimes just used to store the current directory
	(e.g. find)
	
2004-05-18  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Added flush() call
	
2004-05-04  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

2004-04-13  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Replaced binary mount data with text options

	* Show FUSE specific mount options in /proc/mounts

	* Check in fuse.h whether _FILE_OFFSET_BITS is set to 64

2004-04-09  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Check some limits so userspace won't get too big requests

	* fixed zero size case for getxattr and listxattr

2004-03-30  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* new fusermount flag '-z': lazy unmount, default is not lazy

	* Extended attributes operations added (getxattr, setxattr,
	listxattr, removexattr)

2004-03-25  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* If filesystem doesn't define a statfs operation, then an
	all-zero default statfs is returned instead of ENOSYS

2004-03-24  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Add FS_BINARY_MOUNTDATA filesystem flag for kernels > 2.6.4

2004-03-09  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix for uClinux (Christian Magnusson)

2004-03-02  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* fuse_main() adds "-n progname" to the fusermount command line
	
	* More kernel interface changes:

	* Lookup/getattr return cache timeout values

2004-02-25  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Clean up option parsing in fuse_main()

	* Added fuse_get() function which returns the fuse object created
	by fuse_main()

2004-02-20  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* removed old way of mounting (fusermount mountpoint program)

	* more kernel interface changes:

	* added nanosecond precision to file times

	* removed interface version from mount data

	* added /proc/fs/fuse/version which contains MAJOR.MINOR

2004-02-19  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* statfs library API changed to match other methods.  Since this
	  is not backward compatible FUSE_MAJOR_VERSION is changed to 2

	* kernel interface changes follow:

	* statfs changed to 64 bits, added 'bavail' field

	* add generation number to lookup result

	* optimized mknod/mkdir/symlink/link (no separate lookup is
	needed)

	* rdev size increased to 32 bits for mknod

	* Added user-mount.2.6.2-rc3.patch

	* Add FS_SAFE flag to fuse filesystem

	* fusermount should allow (un)mounting for non-root even if not
	suid-root
	
2004-02-12  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Remove MS_PERMISSION mount flag (that means something else now)
	
2004-02-10  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Added check for i_size_read/write functions to configure.in
	(patch by Valient Gough)

	* Fixed writing >= 2G files

2004-01-27  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Write all pending data before a RELEASE operation

	* Suppress 'Bad file descriptor' warning on exit

	* Replaced fusermount option '-d xxx' with '-n xxx' so it doesn't
	get confused with '-d' of fuse_main() (sorry about this change)

	* New fusermount option '-l' which enables big reads.  Big reads
	are now disabled by default.

	* fuse_main() can accept fusermount arguments after a '--'

2004-01-19  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Support for exporting filesystem over NFS (see README.NFS)

2004-01-14  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Support non-blocking writepage on 2.6.  This makes FUSE behave
	much more nicely in low-memory situations

	* Fix 32-bit dev handling in getattr and mknod for 2.6 kernels.
	(Note: the mknod method does not yet use 32bit device number)

	* Make it compile on 2.4.19.  

	* Add fsync operation (write file failed on xemacs & vi)

2003-12-12  David McNab <david@rebirthing.co.nz>

	* Added distutils support to the python module, as per standard
	  python development practice

2003-12-11  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Add file locking for mount/unmount (based on patch by Valient
	Gough)

2003-12-11  David McNab <david@rebirthing.co.nz>

	* Python filesystem - was broken with python2.3, now fixed:
	   - changed PyTuple_* calls to PySequence_*, because os.lstat
	     is no longer returning a pure tuple
	   - changed PyInt_Check() calls to also call PyLong_Check,
	     to cover for cases (eg os.lstat) where longs are returned
	   - Added support for file 'release' handling, which IMO is
	     essential since this signals to a FS that writes to a file
	     are complete (and therefore the file can now be disposed of
	     meaningfully at the python filesystem's discretion)
	   - Added '__init__' handler to base Fuse class, which allows
	     your Python class to know the mountpoint and mount args,
	     as attributes myfs.mountpoint, myfs.optlist, myfs.optdict
	
	* General:
	   - added 'mount.fuse' script (in util/ dir), which is meant to be
	     symlinked from /sbin, and which allows FUSE filesystems to
	     be mounted with the 'mount' command, and listed in fstab;
	     also, mount arguments get passed to your filesystem


2003-11-04  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
