Unionfs 1.2 has just been released. This release includes a number of fixes, and a lot of code cleanup. As we have promised earlier, this release is for 2.6.16 kernels only.
Starting with this release, the version number will consist of only a major and a minor number. A minor release will be made for every kernel version. The "stable" series of kernels (those with 4 version numbers, e.g., 2.6.16.20) should not change any interfaces that Unionfs relies on and therefore the release intended for the original version of the base kernel should still work (e.g., 2.6.16). If for whatever reason a release for such kernel is necessary, it will have a third version number. The table below summarizes the scheme. Unionfs Kernel ------- ------ 1.2 2.6.16 & 2.6.16.n 1.3 2.6.17 & 2.6.17.n 1.3.1 2.6.17.18 (in case that this version broke Unionfs build) 1.4 2.6.18 & 2.6.18.n As usual, the package can be found at ftp://ftp.fsl.cs.sunysb.edu/pub/unionfs/unionfs-1.2.tar.gz Many thanks go to everybody who contributed to make this release possible.
