Subject: [Acl-Devel] Version 0.7.15 released
Date:	 Thu, 2 Aug 2001 16:34:47 +0200 (CEST)

Hello,

I have just released version 0.7.15, which includes the following changes:

  - Kernel patches against the 2.4.7 kernel.
  - Several fixes in the ACL utilities (see change log).

Furthermore, the next verion of e2fsprogs (1.23, work in progress) will
have extended attribute support built in, so I will not update the
e2fsprogs patch anymore. Ted <tytso@mit.edu> keeps the current code in a
BitKeeper repository; there are also snapshots available. His last
snapshot worked correctly in my tests. The current latest file is here:

   http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs-1.23-WIP-0727.tar.gz

Please report problems to Ted <tytso@mit.edu>, and send me a copy!


From the Changes file:

0.7.15 (2 August 2001)
----------------------
 ACL utilities:
 * acl_from_text() now accepts mask and other entries with either two
   or three fields (`other:rwx' or `other::rwx'). Posix 1003.1e specifies
   that these entries should have three entries, while under Solaris,
   they have only two fields.
 * setfacl now parses mask and other entries with two or three entries.
 * getfacl now produces mask and other entries with three fields
   (`mask::rwx' instead of the previous `mask:rwx').
 * acl_to_text() wrongly separated ACL entires with ',' instead of '\n'.
 * acl_from_text() only accepted three-letter permission strings
   (rwx, ---, rw-, etc.). Now also short strings (rw, -, etc.) are
   supported.
 * acl_get_fd(), acl_get_file(), acl_set_fd(), acl_set_file() now only
   fail with errno=ENOSYS if the underlying filesystem doesn't support
   ACLs. acl_get_fd() and acl_get_file() construct ACLs from the file
   mode permission bits if the kernel supports ACLs, but no ACL extended
   attributes are defined for the file (errno=ENOATTR). This is intended
   to improve interoperability with Samba.


Regards,
Andreas.
