From: Anton Altaparmakov <aia21@cam.ac.uk> To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: ANN: Linux-NTFS 1.4.0 released Date: Sat, 10 Nov 2001 19:08:02 +0000 This is to announce release of Linux-NTFS user space support tools 1.4.0. Most important changes: mkntfs now support creation of NTFS floppies and the root directory on volumes with cluster sizes > 4kiB are now created correctly. ntfsfix now supports Windows XP (NTFS 3.1) volumes. Linux-NTFS packages (your choice of source tar.gz or rpm, binary i386.rpm and devel rpm) can be downloaded from the Linux-NTFS home page at: http://linux-ntfs.sf.net/ Or if you prefer CVS access, look at the project home page on Sourceforge for details how to access the CVS server: http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=13956 ChangeLog: 1.4.0: Major fix in mkntfs, small update to ntfsfix, and other updates. - Update ntfsfix to support Windows XP NTFS volumes (NTFS 3.1). - Update layout.h with more information. - (Re)enable shared libraries. - Changes to mkntfs: - Correct handling of directories on volumes with cluster sizes above 4096 bytes. - Lower minimum size of NTFS partitions to 1MiB, scaling down the logfile size as necessary. - Support a wider range of input parameters. Now should have all valid combinations covered. - Update man page. - Implement better determination of device size. - Various bug fixes. 1.2.2: Small fix in mkntfs and minor updates. - Small fix in mkntfs for small volumes with non-standard sector sizes, where the default values would result in a sector size smaller than the sector size and mkntfs would refuse to run because of this. The man page was updated accordingly. - Minor updates/clarifications to include/layout.h. 1.2.1: Added ntfsfix man page and minor cleanup. - David Martínez Moreno <david.martinez@rediris.es> donated a man page for ntfsfix as well as spelling mistake fixes all over the place. 1.2.0: Important bug fixes to mkntfs. - Bug fixes for cluster sizes > 4kb involving corrections to mft mirror size and contents, mft data attribute position and mft bitmap size. Some of those were nasty so this is a major improvement. For older changes, see the ChangeLog file in the release or in CVS. Best regards, Anton -- "I've not lost my mind.
