Dear all,

we are making large step forwards. The next major version is close ahead.
I have put release candidates on the web site. Please help testing and
shaking out the remaining bugs.


The most significant changes, in brief:

  * New on-disk format (this was the last change planned).

  * Uses the new reserved system calls.

  * The acl and extended attribute utilities are now shared between
    ext2/ext3 and XFS.

  * All utilities are now available as RPM's.


Here is a list of to-do items. I would highly appreciate your help:

  * Add the remaining architectures. Currently we only have i386.

  * Help update the installation and migration HTML pages,
    step-by-step guide, etc.

  * Grab the FreeBSD manual pages for the ACL library, and rewrite
    the FreeBSD-isms so we can use them in the ACL package.

  * Do A LOT of testing.


The release candidates are found at the following location. Please see the
README file:

Cheers,
Andreas.


PS. I won't be online as much as usually in the next couple of days.
