Subject: [Acl-Devel] Version 0.7.8 released

Dear all,

Version 0.7.8 of extended attributes and access control lists is out.
Please go to the Web site and grab the latest files. This time, upgrading
is recommended.

New:

* Kernel 2.4.2 support
* Patch against the latest fileutils, 4.0.41

Most critical changes are:

* NULL pointer dereference in the NFSv2 workaround for
  symbolic links. This caused the kernel NFS daemon to die.
  This was reported by Jean-Eric Cuendet
  <Jean-Eric.Cuendet@linkvest.com>. Many thanks!

* Buffer overflow bug in the ACL library (not security critical).
  This was reported by Charles Bertsch <CBertsch@microtest.com>.
  Many thanks!


Best regards,
Andreas Gruenbacher.
