FUSE 2.9.5 (2016-01-14)
=======================

* New maintainer: Nikolaus Rath <Nikolaus@rath.org>. Many thanks to
  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> for bringing FUSE to where it is
  now!

* fix warning in mount.c:receive_fd().  Reported by Albert Berger

* fix possible memory leak.  Reported by Jose R. Guzman

FUSE 2.9.4 (2015-05-22)
=======================

* fix exec environment for mount and umount.  Found by Tavis Ormandy
  (CVE-2015-3202).

* fix fuse_remove_signal_handlers() to properly restore the default
  signal handler.  Reported by: Chris Johnson

* highlevel API: fix directory file handle passed to ioctl() method.
  Reported by Eric Biggers

* libfuse: document deadlock avoidance for fuse_notify_inval_entry()
  and fuse_notify_delete()

* fusermount, libfuse: send value as unsigned in "user_id=" and
  "group_id=" options.  Uids/gids larger than 2147483647 would result
  in EINVAL when mounting the filesystem.  This also needs a fix in
  the kernel.

* Initilaize stat buffer passed to ->getattr() and ->fgetattr() to
  zero in all cases.  Reported by Daniel Iwan

* libfuse: Add missing includes.  This allows compiling fuse with
  musl.  Patch by Daniel Thau


Older Versions (before 2013-01-01)
==================================


2013-06-20  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* libfuse: fix multiple close of device fd.  Reported by Dan
	Greenfield

2013-03-19  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	cancelling that same worker.  This caused a segmenation
	fault. Reported and tested by Anatol Pomozov

2013-02-04  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* libfuse: fix crash in unlock_path().  Patch by Ratna Manoj

	* libfuse: fix the 'remember' option.  The lru list was not
	initialized for the "/" path.  This resulted in remove_node_lru()
	crashing on LOOKUP-DOTDOT.  Patch by Madan Valluri

	* libfuse: configure: detect new util-linux

	* libfuse: Use AC_CONFIG_HEADERS instead of AM_CONFIG_HEADER.

	* Fix missing config.h in buffer.c.  Reported by Matthew Gabeler-Lee

2012-08-14  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Not unhashing the name in forget (commit on 2011-12-09) broke
	the forget logic in a subtle way, resulting in "fuse internal
	error: node NNN not found" and causing the filesystem daemon to
	abort.  Fix by incrementing the node refcount if nlookup goes from
	zero to one.  Reported by Kyle Lippincott

2012-08-13  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	later.  Patch by Anatol Pomozov

2012-05-16  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Linking to a library that uses threads requires the application
	to be linked with -pthreads otherwise some pthread functions will
	be linked to stubs in glibc.  So move -pthread from Libs.private
	to Libs in fuse.pc.  Reported by Werner Fink

	* Fix the compile command in the examples. Reported by Luciano
	Dalle Ore

2012-04-20  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Check protocol version before sending notifications and return
	-ENOSYS if a particular notification is not supported.

	* Add 'flag_utime_omit_ok' flag to fuse_operations.  If the
	filesystem sets this flag then ->utimens() will receive UTIME_OMIT
	and UTIME_NOW values as specified in utimensat(2).

2012-01-27  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Interpret octal escape codes in options.  Requested by Jan
	Engelhardt

2012-01-26  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	event loop.

2011-12-09  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix hang in wait_on_path().  Reported by Ville Silventoinen

	* Don't unhash name in FORGET.  This resulted in ENOENT being
	returned for unlinked but still open files if the kernel sent a
	FORGET request for the parent directory.

	* Free request in fuse_reply_data().

2011-12-08  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix build if FUSE_NODE_SLAB is not defined.  Patch by Emmanuel
	Dreyfus

	* Check for availability of utimensat() function.  Patch by
	Emmanuel Dreyfus

2011-12-07  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Add fuse_lowlevel_notify_delete() which tells the kernel that a
	file or directory is deleted.  Patch by John Muir

2011-12-06  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Update retrieve_reply() method

2011-12-05  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Low level API: lock argument of fuse_reply_lock should have a
	'const' qualifier.  Reported by Shachar Sharon

	* Add support for ioctl on directories.  Reported by Antonio SJ
	Musumeci

2011-10-13  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Reply to request with ENOMEM in case of failure to allocate
	request structure.  Otherwise the task issuing the request will
	just freeze up until the filesystem daemon is killed.  Reported by
	Stephan Kulow

2011-09-23  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Replace daemon() function with fork().  Patch by Anatol Pomozov

2011-08-26  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* If configured with --disable-mtab then don't call mount(8) from
	libfuse to update the mtab.  Reported by: James Sierp

2011-08-24  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Use LRU list for cleaning up the cache if the "remember=T"
	option was given.  Patch by therealneworld@gmail.com

2011-07-06  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Add ->flock() operation to low and high level interfaces.  This
	fixes problems with emulating flock() with POSIX locking.
	Reported by Sebastian Pipping.  As with lock/setlk/getlk most
	filesystems don't need to implement this, as the kernel takes care
	of file locking.  The only reason to implement locking operations
	is for network filesystems which want file locking to work between
	clients.

2011-07-02  Sebastian Pipping <sebastian@pipping.org>

	* Make xmp_utimens of examples "fusexmp" and "fusexmp_fh"
	not follow symlinks as other layers do that already.

2011-06-02  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Add "remember" option.  This works similar to "noforget" except
	that eventually the node will be allowed to expire from the cache.
	Patch by therealneworld@gmail.com

2011-05-27  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Check if splice/vmsplice are supported

2011-05-26  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Remove -lrt -ldl from fuse.pc for dynamic linking since
	libfuse.so is already linked with these libraries.  Reported by:
	Nikolaus Rath

2011-05-20  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Cleaner build output.  Patch by Reuben Hawkins

2011-05-19  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Disable splice by default, add "splice_read", "splice_write" and
	"splice_move" options.  Keep the "no_splice_*" variants, which can
	disable splice even if the filesystem explicitly enables it.

2011-04-15  Max Krasnyansky <maxk@kernel.org>
	* Added support for "auto_unmount" option which unmounts the
	filesystem automatically on process exit (or crash).

2011-03-30  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Patches by Laszlo Papp fixing various issues found by the
	Coverity checker

2011-03-11  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* In case of failure to add to /etc/mtab don't umount.  Reported
	by Marc Deslauriers

2011-02-02  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* libfuse: In fuse_session_loop_mt() don't pause when exiting the
	worker threads.  The pause() was added in 2.2.1 to prevent
	segfault on pthread_cancel() on an exited, detached thread.  Now
	worker threads are not detached and pthread_cancel() should work
	fine even after the thread exited.  Reported by Boris Protopopov

2011-01-31  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* fusermount: chdir to / before performing mount/umount

	* fusermount: only allow mount and umount if util-linux supports
	--no-canonicalize

2010-12-16  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Highlevel lib: allow hash tables to shrink

	* Highlevel lib: add slab allocation for node cache.  This will
	allow the memory used by the filesystem to grow and shrink
	depending on how many inodes are currently cached.

2010-12-13  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Highlevel lib: use dynamically resized hash table for looking up
	by name and node ID.

2010-12-07  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Allow batching of forget requests.  This allows forget requests
	to be processed faster and doesn't require a modification to fuse
	filesystems.  Reported by Terje Malmedal

	* Add ->forget_multi() operation to the lowlevel API.  The
	filesystem may implement this to process multiple forget requests
	in one call

	* Fix the ambiguity of ioctl ABI on the kernel/userspace boundary
	for 32bit vs. 64bit userspace

2010-11-10  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Add new write_buf() method to the highlevel API.  Similarly to
	the lowlevel write_buf() method, this allows implementing zero
	copy writes.

	* Add a new read_buf() method to the highlevel API.  This allows
	returning a generic buffer from the read method, which in turn
	allows zero copy reads.

	* In fusexmp_fh implement the ->read_buf() and ->write_buf()
	methods.  Leave the ->read() and ->write() implementations for
	reference, even though they are not necessary.

2010-11-08  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix check for read-only fs in mtab update

	* Open /dev/null for write instead of read for redirecting stdout
	and stderr

	* If umount(8) supports --fake and --no-canonicalize (util-linux-ng
	version 2.18 or later), and umount(2) supports the
	UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW flag (linux kernel version 2.6.35 or later)  then,
	"fusermount -u" will call the umount(2) system call and use
	"umount --fake ..." to update /etc/mtab

	* Added --disable-legacy-umount option to configure.  This
	disables the runtime checking of umount(8) version.  When built
	with this option then "fusermount -u" will fail if umount(8)
	doesn't support the --fake and --no-canonicalize options.

	* Fix fuse_buf_copy() if already at the end of the buffers

	* Add new ->write_buf() method to low level interface.  This
	allows passig a generic buffer, either containing a memory buffer
	or a file descriptor.  This allows implementing zero copy writes.

	* Add fuse_session_receive_buf() and fuse_session_process_buf()
	which may be used in event loop implementations to replace
	fuse_chan_recv() and fuse_session_process() respectively.

	* Remove unnecessary restoring of current working directory in
	"fusermount -u"

	* Add ctx->pid to debug output

	* Fix st_nlink value in high level lib if file is unlinked but
	still open

	* libfuse: add store request.  Request data to be stored in the
	kernel buffers for a given inode.

	* libfuse: add retrieve request.  Retrieve data stored in the
	kernel buffers for a given inode.

2010-10-14  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Use LTLIBICONV when linking libfuse.  This fixes building against
	uclibc + libiconv.  Patch by Natanael Copa

2010-10-05  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Add missing argument check in ulockmgr.c to prevent calling
	ulockmgr_server with illegal arguments. This would cause an ever
	growing list of ulockmgr_server processes with an endless list of
	open files which finally exceeds the open file handle limit.
	Patch by Markus Ammer

2010-09-28  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix ambiguous symbol version for fuse_chan_new.
	fuse_versionscript included fuse_chan_new in both FUSE_2.4 and
	FUSE_2.6.  Remove the FUSE_2.4, which is invalid.

2010-09-28  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix option escaping for fusermount.  If the "fsname=" option
	contained a comma then the option parser in fusermount was
	confused (Novell bugzilla #641480).  Fix by escaping commas when
	passing them over to fusermount.  Reported by Jan Engelhardt

2010-08-27  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Add NetBSD support.  Patch from Emmanuel Dreyfus

2010-07-12  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* libfuse: add buffer interface.  Add a generic buffer interface
	for use with I/O.  Buffer vectors are supplied and each buffer in
	the vector may be a memory pointer or a file descriptor.

	* The fuse_reply_fd() interface is converted to using buffers.

2010-06-23  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Make the number of max background requests and congestion
	threshold tunable.  New options are "max_background" and
	"congestion_threshold".  Only effective on linux kernel versions
	2.6.32 or greater.  Patch by Csaba Henk

2010-06-17  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Add fuse_reply_fd() reply function to the low level interface.
	On linux version 2.6.35 or greater this will use splice() to move
	data directly from a file descriptor to the fuse device without
	needing to go though a userspace buffer.  With the
	FUSE_REPLY_FD_MOVE flag the kernel will attempt to move the data
	directly into the filesystem's cache.  On earlier kernels it will
	fall back to an intermediate buffer.  The options
	"no_splice_write" and "no_splice_move" can be used to disable
	splicing and moving respectively.
 
2010-06-15  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix out-of-source build.  Patch by Jörg Faschingbauer

	* Add a "nopath" option and flag, indicating that path argument
	need not be calculated for the following operations: read, write,
	flush, release, fsync, readdir, releasedir, fsyncdir, ftruncate,
	fgetattr, lock, ioctl and poll.

2010-05-10  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Remove "chmod root" from install of fusermount.  Reported by
	Lucas C. Villa Real

2010-04-26  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Released 2.8.4

2010-04-26  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix checking for symlinks in umount from /tmp.  Reported by Al
	Viro

	* Fix umounting if /tmp is a symlink.  Reported by Franco Broi

2010-02-18  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix definition of FUSE_OPT_END for C++.  Reported by Tim
	Bruylants

2010-02-03  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix stack alignment for clone()

2010-02-01  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Released 2.8.3

2010-02-01  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Using "--no-canonicalize" with umount(8) conflicts with the race
	fix, sinceit assumes the supplied path is absolute, while the race
	fix relies on the path being relative to the current directory.
	Reported by Tom Rindborg

2010-01-26  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Released 2.8.2

2010-01-21  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix race if two "fusermount -u" instances are run in parallel.
	Reported by Dan Rosenberg

	* Make sure that the path to be unmounted doesn't refer to a
	symlink

2010-01-14  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix compile error on FreeBSD.  Patch by Jay Sullivan

2009-12-17  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Use '--no-canonicalize' option of mount(8) (available in
	util-linux-ng version 2.17 or greater) to avoid calling
	readling(2) on the newly mounted filesystem before the mount
	procedure is finished.  This has caused a deadlock if "audit" was
	enabled in the kernel.  Also use '--no-canonicalize' for umount to
	avoid touching the mounted filesystem.

2009-09-11  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Released 2.8.1

2009-08-25  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix missing versioned symbol fuse_get_context@FUSE_2.2

2009-08-18  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Released 2.8.0

2009-08-18  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Add missing fuse_session_data to versionscript

	* Make sure all global symbols are prefixed with "fuse_" or "cuse_"

2009-07-16  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Clarify how the protocol version should be negotiated between
	kernel and userspace.  Notably libfuse didn't correctly handle the
	case when the supported major versions didn't match

	* Add missing pthread link for libulockmgr.  Patch by  Petr Salinger

2009-07-02  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* The context is extended with a 'umask' field.  The umask is sent
	for mknod, mkdir and create requests by linux kernel version
	2.6.31 or later, otherwise the umask is set to zero.  Also
	introduce a new feature flag: FUSE_CAP_DONT_MASK.  If the kernel
	supports this feature, then this flag will be set in conn->capable
	in the ->init() method.  If the filesystem sets this flag in in
	conn->want, then the create modes will not be masked.

	* Add low level interfaces for lookup cache and attribute
	invalidation.  This feature is available in linux kernels 2.6.31
	or later.  Patch by John Muir

	* Kernel interface version is now 7.12

	* fusermount: Do not silently ignore command line arguments.
	Patch by Sebastian Harl

2009-06-19  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Released 2.8.0-pre3

2009-06-19  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Add fuse_getgroups (high level lib) and fuse_req_getgroups (low
	level lib) functions to query the supplementary group IDs for the
	current request.  Currently this is implemented on Linux by
	reading from the /proc filesystem.

2009-06-18  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Add "noforget" option to high level lib to prevent ESTALE errors
	on NFS exported filesystems.  This result in paths being cached
	forever, resulting in ever growing memory usage.  Use with care.

	* Add "no_remote_lock" option to disable remote file locking even
	if the filesystem implements it.  With this option locking
	primitives (flock, lockf, fcntl(F_SETLK)) will still work, but
	will ignore remotely locked files.

	* CUSE patches from Tejun Heo:

	* Unrestricted ioctl support left some debris.  Clean them up:
	  o No reason to pass around pointer to flags.  Pass flags directly.
	  o Clean up comment and prototype parameter names.
	  o fuse_lib_ioctl() didn't reply when get_path() failed.  Fix it.
	  o Remove unused variables {in|out}_iov from fuse_lib_ioctl().

	* Add fuse_reply_ioctl_iov()

	* Move fuse_session, fuse_req and fuse_ll definitions to fuse_i.h
	and make send_reply_iov() and fuse_setup_common() global (also in
	fuse_i.h).  These will be used by CUSE support.

	* Restructure fuse_ll_process()

	* Implement libfuse side of CUSE support.  CUSE uses subset of FUSE
	operations as dir operations don't make sense for CUSE where one
	instance implements single character device.

	CUSE support comes with its own cuse_lowevel_ops and related
	initialization and helper functions.  Except for initialization, it
	usage is basically identical to FUSE.

	This patch also adds example/cusexmp.c which can create a character
	device with name and device number specified on command line.  The
	created device itself is pretty boring.  It's a bit bucket supporting
	read, write and access via ioctl.

2009-06-16  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Add missing fuse_reply_bmap to versionscript.  Debian
	Bug#531329.  Reported by Goswin Brederlow

2009-05-27  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Don't call forget_node() if the lookup was negative and write()
	for the reply returned ENOENT.  Reported by John Haxby

2009-05-25  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Add FUSE_CAP_EXPORT_SUPPORT to fuse_common.h

2009-05-08  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix missing newlines in some printfs

	* Fix 'make install-strip'.  Reported by Dominick Layfield

2009-01-05  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Released 2.8.0-pre2

2008-12-08  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Implement poll support.  Patch by Tejun Heo

	* Add missing setattr flags to <fuse_lowlevel.h>.

	* Only pass valid flags to ->setattr().

2008-12-05  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Implement ioctl support.  On high level interface only
	"restricted" ioctls are supported (which are defined with the
	_IO(), _IOR(), _IOW() or _IOWR() macros).  Unrestricted ioctls
	will only be allwed to CUSE (Character Device in Userspace)
	servers.  Patch by Tejun Heo

2008-11-28  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* If open sets fi->nonseekable, libfuse will tell the kernel that
	the file is not seekable.  Patch by Tejun Heo

2008-11-19  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* lowlevel lib: fix deadlock if fuse_reply_* is called from the
	interrupt handling function.  Reported by Tero Marttila

2008-10-16  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Allow commas in options to be escaped with a backslash

	* Add new function: fuse_opt_add_opt_escaped()

	* Add missing fuse_reply_bmap() to the version script

2008-10-14  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Pass current file flags to read and write operations

2008-07-24  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Clean up debug output in highlevel lib

2008-07-10  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Released 2.8.0-pre1

2008-06-27  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix handling of (no)suid and (no)dev options if filesystem is
	mounted from /etc/fstab or via mount(8).  Reported by Jan Ondrej.

	* Skip calling mount(8) if /etc/mtab doesn't exist or if it's on a
	read-only filesystem.  This works around issues with certain mount
	implementations.  Reported by Szabolcs Szakacsits.

2008-06-16  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Remove fuse kernel module sources.  Linux 2.6.27 will support
	NFS exporting.

2008-06-10  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix theoretical infinite loops in libfuse.  Reported by Szabolcs
	Szakacsits

	* Fix missing <sys/param.h> include for PATH_MAX.  Reported by
	Szabolcs Szakacsits

2008-05-23  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix mounting over symlink.  Reported by Szabolcs Szakacsits

2008-05-09  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Don't allow bigger than 4kB writes by default on 2.6.26 and
	later kernels, so that filesystems not expecting this are not
	broken on a kernel upgrade.  Provide a 'big_writes' mount option
	to enable this feature.  In future API revisions this may become
	the default.

2008-04-09  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Update warning message for missing newline at end of fuse.conf

	* Update debug message for successful operation to not include the
	string "error:"

	* Highlevel lib: don't limit paths to 4095 characters

2008-03-25  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix memory leaks on mount.  Patch by Szabolcs Szakacsits

2008-03-19  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix missing pthread_mutex_destroy in error path of
	fuse_lib_opendir().  Patch by Szabolcs Szakacsits

2008-03-07  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Add queuing on contention to per-node lock algorithm, to avoid
	starvation.

	* Only enable cancelation when reading a request, otherwise
	cancellation could happen with a mutex held, which could hang the
	process on umount

2008-02-08  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Block SIGCHLD when executing mount and umount

	* fusexmp_fh: avoid unnecessary seeking in readdir

	* Update kernel interface to 7.9:

	* Support receiving file handle from kernel in GETATTR request

	* Allow operations with a NULL path argument, if the filesystem
	supports it

	* Add support atomic open(O_TRUNC)

	* Support the st_blksize field in struct stat

	* If the "FUSE_THREAD_STACK" environment is set, initialize the
	stack size of threads by this value.  Patch by Florin Malita

	* Add per-node locking, instead of a global tree lock to protect
	the path from changing during operations.  Original patch by
	Rodrigo Castro

2008-02-03  Csaba Henk <csaba.henk@creo.hu>

	* lib/mount_bsd.c:
	- string formatting fixes
	- exit if mounting has failed
	  (in FreeBSD a mount failure is not critical per se, as the daemon
	  still could be mounted externally, but waiting for such an event
	  is more confusing than fruitful)
	- ditch the kvm(8) stuff and simply use forced unmount which just
	  won't block
	- prettify option specifications
	- add "-onosync_unmount" kernel option

2008-01-07  Csaba Henk <csaba.henk@creo.hu>

	* lib/mount_bsd.c:
	- refine device closing in a race-free way
	- add support for "-osubtype" on FreeBSD

	* makeconf.sh: make it work under FreeBSD

2008-01-03  Csaba Henk <csaba.henk@creo.hu>

	* lib/mount_bsd.c: close device before unmount
	(cf. lib/mount.c rev. 1.43) and fix some warnings 

2007-12-23  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix './configure --disable-static'.  Patch from Ismail Dönmez

2007-12-17  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Released 2.7.2

2007-12-12  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix kernel module compile for 2.6.24

	* Invalidate attributes of parent directory after create(), since
	the modification time changes.  Invalidate attributes on rename,
	since some filesystems may update st_ctime.  Reported by Szabolcs
	Szakacsits

	* Fix NFS exporting to handle 64bit node IDs

	* Disable old symbol versions if __UCLIBC__ is defined.  If a
	symbol in a library has multiple versions, the runtime linker in
	uClibc seems to randomly choose between them.

	* Remove erroneous 'fuse_opt_insert_arg@FUSE_2_5' from
	fuse_version_script.  fuse_opt_free_args() was added in fuse-2.6.

	* Close fuse device file descriptor before calling umount(),
	preventing a deadlock when umount is synchronous.  Reported by
	Szabolcs Szakacsits

2007-11-12  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* 'fusermount -u' did not umount the filesystem if /etc/mtab was a
	symlink.  This bug was introduced in 2.7.1 by "Don't call
	/bin/[u]mount if /etc/mtab is a symlink".  Found by robertsong.

2007-10-16  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Released 2.7.1

	* lib/fuse_lowlevel.c: fix a fuse_req leak in do_forget()

2007-07-31  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Work around hotplug issue, that it calls filesystem with file
	descriptors 0, 1 and 2 not open.  Tracked down by Leif Johnson

2007-07-25  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Don't call /bin/[u]mount if /etc/mtab is a symlink.  Reported by
	Tomas M

	* Also don't touch /etc/mtab if it is within the mounted
	filesystem.  Suggested by Jeffrey Law

2007-07-12  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Reset args->argc in fuse_opt_free_args().  Patch by Lucas
	C. Villa Real

	* Released 2.7.0

2007-07-02  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Accept a NULL "op" for fuse_main(), etc.  This is useful if
	filesystem is only invoking fuse to print a help message, or
	version.  Fixes RedHat bugzilla #217343

2007-06-22  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* lib: fix locking when loading a filesystem module

	* kernel: sync with mainline (2.6.22)

2007-06-18  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Send debug output to stderr instead of stdout.  Patch by Jan
	Engelhardt

2007-06-03  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* libulockmgr: Work around a kernel bug in recv(), causing it to
	sometimes return zero even if data was available on the socket.

2007-05-29  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* lib: optimization: store parent pointer in node instead of
	parent id

2007-05-25  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* lib: don't create new thread for each FORGET request.  FORGET
	messages sometimes caused so many threads to be created, that
	process virtual memory space ran out.  Reported by Chris AtLee

2007-05-24  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* lib: fix memory leak on thread creation failure in multithreaded
	event loop.  Found by Chris AtLee

2007-05-23  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* lowlevel lib: add fuse_reply_iov function, which is similar to
	fuse_reply_buf, but accepts a vector of buffers.  Patch by Roger
	Willcocks

2007-05-21  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Fix Oops or error if a regular file is created with mknod(2) on
	a fuse filesystem.  Kernels 2.6.18 onward are affected.  Thanks to
	J. Cameijo Cerdeira for the report

2007-05-11  Csaba Henk <csaba.henk@creo.hu>

	* libfuse: fix return value of fuse_loop()/fuse_loop_mt().

	* Fix BUG when invalid file type is supplied in mount. Patch by
	Timo Savola

2007-04-27  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* libfuse: call umount(8) directly instead of fusermount if
	possible

	* Clean up init script, make it LSB compliant

2007-04-26  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* In multithreaded loop, use a semaphore instead of SIGHUP to wake
	up the main thread on umount.  This is more elegant, and works
	even if signals are blocked.

2007-04-25  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Improve mounting support in libfuse:
	 - check non-empty mountpoint
	 - only fall back to fusermount when necessary

2007-04-23  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Don't chdir to "/" in foreground mode, it causes more trouble
	than it's worth

2007-04-18  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

	* Replace utils/mount.fuse "sh" script with a "C" program

2007-04-15  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
