Reported by + Stephan Kulow + +2011-09-23 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Replace daemon() function with fork(). Patch by Anatol Pomozov + +2011-08-26 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * If configured with --disable-mtab then don't call mount(8) from + libfuse to update the mtab. Reported by: James Sierp + +2011-08-24 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Use LRU list for cleaning up the cache if the "remember=T" + option was given. Patch by therealneworld@gmail.com + +2011-07-06 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Add ->flock() operation to low and high level interfaces. This + fixes problems with emulating flock() with POSIX locking. + Reported by Sebastian Pipping. As with lock/setlk/getlk most + filesystems don't need to implement this, as the kernel takes care + of file locking. The only reason to implement locking operations + is for network filesystems which want file locking to work between + clients. + +2011-07-02 Sebastian Pipping <sebastian@pipping.org> + + * Make xmp_utimens of examples "fusexmp" and "fusexmp_fh" + not follow symlinks as other layers do that already. + +2011-06-02 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Add "remember" option. This works similar to "noforget" except + that eventually the node will be allowed to expire from the cache. + Patch by therealneworld@gmail.com + +2011-05-27 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Check if splice/vmsplice are supported + +2011-05-26 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Remove -lrt -ldl from fuse.pc for dynamic linking since + libfuse.so is already linked with these libraries. Reported by: + Nikolaus Rath + +2011-05-20 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Cleaner build output. Patch by Reuben Hawkins + +2011-05-19 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Disable splice by default, add "splice_read", "splice_write" and + "splice_move" options. Keep the "no_splice_*" variants, which can + disable splice even if the filesystem explicitly enables it. + +2011-04-15 Max Krasnyansky <maxk@kernel.org> + * Added support for "auto_unmount" option which unmounts the + filesystem automatically on process exit (or crash). + +2011-03-30 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Patches by Laszlo Papp fixing various issues found by the + Coverity checker + +2011-03-11 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * In case of failure to add to /etc/mtab don't umount. Reported + by Marc Deslauriers + +2011-02-02 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * libfuse: In fuse_session_loop_mt() don't pause when exiting the + worker threads. The pause() was added in 2.2.1 to prevent + segfault on pthread_cancel() on an exited, detached thread. Now + worker threads are not detached and pthread_cancel() should work + fine even after the thread exited. Reported by Boris Protopopov + +2011-01-31 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * fusermount: chdir to / before performing mount/umount + + * fusermount: only allow mount and umount if util-linux supports + --no-canonicalize + +2010-12-16 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Highlevel lib: allow hash tables to shrink + + * Highlevel lib: add slab allocation for node cache. This will + allow the memory used by the filesystem to grow and shrink + depending on how many inodes are currently cached. + +2010-12-13 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Highlevel lib: use dynamically resized hash table for looking up + by name and node ID. + +2010-12-07 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Allow batching of forget requests. This allows forget requests + to be processed faster and doesn't require a modification to fuse + filesystems. Reported by Terje Malmedal + + * Add ->forget_multi() operation to the lowlevel API. The + filesystem may implement this to process multiple forget requests + in one call + + * Fix the ambiguity of ioctl ABI on the kernel/userspace boundary + for 32bit vs. 64bit userspace + +2010-11-10 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Add new write_buf() method to the highlevel API. Similarly to + the lowlevel write_buf() method, this allows implementing zero + copy writes. + + * Add a new read_buf() method to the highlevel API. This allows + returning a generic buffer from the read method, which in turn + allows zero copy reads. + + * In fusexmp_fh implement the ->read_buf() and ->write_buf() + methods. Leave the ->read() and ->write() implementations for + reference, even though they are not necessary. + +2010-11-08 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Fix check for read-only fs in mtab update + + * Open /dev/null for write instead of read for redirecting stdout + and stderr + + * If umount(8) supports --fake and --no-canonicalize (util-linux-ng + version 2.18 or later), and umount(2) supports the + UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW flag (linux kernel version 2.6.35 or later) then, + "fusermount -u" will call the umount(2) system call and use + "umount --fake ..." to update /etc/mtab + + * Added --disable-legacy-umount option to configure. This + disables the runtime checking of umount(8) version. When built + with this option then "fusermount -u" will fail if umount(8) + doesn't support the --fake and --no-canonicalize options. + + * Fix fuse_buf_copy() if already at the end of the buffers + + * Add new ->write_buf() method to low level interface. This + allows passig a generic buffer, either containing a memory buffer + or a file descriptor. This allows implementing zero copy writes. + + * Add fuse_session_receive_buf() and fuse_session_process_buf() + which may be used in event loop implementations to replace + fuse_chan_recv() and fuse_session_process() respectively. + + * Remove unnecessary restoring of current working directory in + "fusermount -u" + + * Add ctx->pid to debug output + + * Fix st_nlink value in high level lib if file is unlinked but + still open + + * libfuse: add store request. Request data to be stored in the + kernel buffers for a given inode. + + * libfuse: add retrieve request. Retrieve data stored in the + kernel buffers for a given inode. + +2010-10-14 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Use LTLIBICONV when linking libfuse. This fixes building against + uclibc + libiconv. Patch by Natanael Copa + +2010-10-05 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Add missing argument check in ulockmgr.c to prevent calling + ulockmgr_server with illegal arguments. This would cause an ever + growing list of ulockmgr_server processes with an endless list of + open files which finally exceeds the open file handle limit. + Patch by Markus Ammer + +2010-09-28 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Fix ambiguous symbol version for fuse_chan_new. + fuse_versionscript included fuse_chan_new in both FUSE_2.4 and + FUSE_2.6. Remove the FUSE_2.4, which is invalid. + +2010-09-28 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Fix option escaping for fusermount. If the "fsname=" option + contained a comma then the option parser in fusermount was + confused (Novell bugzilla #641480). Fix by escaping commas when + passing them over to fusermount. Reported by Jan Engelhardt + +2010-08-27 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Add NetBSD support. Patch from Emmanuel Dreyfus + +2010-07-12 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * libfuse: add buffer interface. Add a generic buffer interface + for use with I/O. Buffer vectors are supplied and each buffer in + the vector may be a memory pointer or a file descriptor. + + * The fuse_reply_fd() interface is converted to using buffers. + +2010-06-23 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Make the number of max background requests and congestion + threshold tunable. New options are "max_background" and + "congestion_threshold". Only effective on linux kernel versions + 2.6.32 or greater. Patch by Csaba Henk + +2010-06-17 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Add fuse_reply_fd() reply function to the low level interface. + On linux version 2.6.35 or greater this will use splice() to move + data directly from a file descriptor to the fuse device without + needing to go though a userspace buffer. With the + FUSE_REPLY_FD_MOVE flag the kernel will attempt to move the data + directly into the filesystem's cache. On earlier kernels it will + fall back to an intermediate buffer. The options + "no_splice_write" and "no_splice_move" can be used to disable + splicing and moving respectively. + +2010-06-15 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Fix out-of-source build. Patch by Jörg Faschingbauer + + * Add a "nopath" option and flag, indicating that path argument + need not be calculated for the following operations: read, write, + flush, release, fsync, readdir, releasedir, fsyncdir, ftruncate, + fgetattr, lock, ioctl and poll. + +2010-05-10 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Remove "chmod root" from install of fusermount. Reported by + Lucas C. Villa Real + +2010-04-26 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Released 2.8.4 + +2010-04-26 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Fix checking for symlinks in umount from /tmp. Reported by Al + Viro + + * Fix umounting if /tmp is a symlink. Reported by Franco Broi + +2010-02-18 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Fix definition of FUSE_OPT_END for C++. Reported by Tim + Bruylants + +2010-02-03 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Fix stack alignment for clone() + +2010-02-01 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Released 2.8.3 + +2010-02-01 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Using "--no-canonicalize" with umount(8) conflicts with the race + fix, sinceit assumes the supplied path is absolute, while the race + fix relies on the path being relative to the current directory. + Reported by Tom Rindborg + +2010-01-26 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Released 2.8.2 + +2010-01-21 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Fix race if two "fusermount -u" instances are run in parallel. + Reported by Dan Rosenberg + + * Make sure that the path to be unmounted doesn't refer to a + symlink + +2010-01-14 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Fix compile error on FreeBSD. Patch by Jay Sullivan + +2009-12-17 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Use '--no-canonicalize' option of mount(8) (available in + util-linux-ng version 2.17 or greater) to avoid calling + readling(2) on the newly mounted filesystem before the mount + procedure is finished. This has caused a deadlock if "audit" was + enabled in the kernel. Also use '--no-canonicalize' for umount to + avoid touching the mounted filesystem. + +2009-09-11 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Released 2.8.1 + +2009-08-25 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Fix missing versioned symbol fuse_get_context@FUSE_2.2 + +2009-08-18 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Released 2.8.0 + +2009-08-18 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Add missing fuse_session_data to versionscript + + * Make sure all global symbols are prefixed with "fuse_" or "cuse_" + +2009-07-16 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Clarify how the protocol version should be negotiated between + kernel and userspace. Notably libfuse didn't correctly handle the + case when the supported major versions didn't match + + * Add missing pthread link for libulockmgr. Patch by Petr Salinger + +2009-07-02 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * The context is extended with a 'umask' field. The umask is sent + for mknod, mkdir and create requests by linux kernel version + 2.6.31 or later, otherwise the umask is set to zero. Also + introduce a new feature flag: FUSE_CAP_DONT_MASK. If the kernel + supports this feature, then this flag will be set in conn->capable + in the ->init() method. If the filesystem sets this flag in in + conn->want, then the create modes will not be masked. + + * Add low level interfaces for lookup cache and attribute + invalidation. This feature is available in linux kernels 2.6.31 + or later. Patch by John Muir + + * Kernel interface version is now 7.12 + + * fusermount: Do not silently ignore command line arguments. + Patch by Sebastian Harl + +2009-06-19 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Released 2.8.0-pre3 + +2009-06-19 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Add fuse_getgroups (high level lib) and fuse_req_getgroups (low + level lib) functions to query the supplementary group IDs for the + current request. Currently this is implemented on Linux by + reading from the /proc filesystem. + +2009-06-18 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Add "noforget" option to high level lib to prevent ESTALE errors + on NFS exported filesystems. This result in paths being cached + forever, resulting in ever growing memory usage. Use with care. + + * Add "no_remote_lock" option to disable remote file locking even + if the filesystem implements it. With this option locking + primitives (flock, lockf, fcntl(F_SETLK)) will still work, but + will ignore remotely locked files. + + * CUSE patches from Tejun Heo: + + * Unrestricted ioctl support left some debris. Clean them up: + o No reason to pass around pointer to flags. Pass flags directly. + o Clean up comment and prototype parameter names. + o fuse_lib_ioctl() didn't reply when get_path() failed. Fix it. + o Remove unused variables {in|out}_iov from fuse_lib_ioctl(). + + * Add fuse_reply_ioctl_iov() + + * Move fuse_session, fuse_req and fuse_ll definitions to fuse_i.h + and make send_reply_iov() and fuse_setup_common() global (also in + fuse_i.h). These will be used by CUSE support. + + * Restructure fuse_ll_process() + + * Implement libfuse side of CUSE support. CUSE uses subset of FUSE + operations as dir operations don't make sense for CUSE where one + instance implements single character device. + + CUSE support comes with its own cuse_lowevel_ops and related + initialization and helper functions. Except for initialization, it + usage is basically identical to FUSE. + + This patch also adds example/cusexmp.c which can create a character + device with name and device number specified on command line. The + created device itself is pretty boring. It's a bit bucket supporting + read, write and access via ioctl. + +2009-06-16 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Add missing fuse_reply_bmap to versionscript. Debian + Bug#531329. Reported by Goswin Brederlow + +2009-05-27 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Don't call forget_node() if the lookup was negative and write() + for the reply returned ENOENT. Reported by John Haxby + +2009-05-25 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Add FUSE_CAP_EXPORT_SUPPORT to fuse_common.h + +2009-05-08 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Fix missing newlines in some printfs + + * Fix 'make install-strip'. Reported by Dominick Layfield + +2009-01-05 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Released 2.8.0-pre2 + +2008-12-08 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Implement poll support. Patch by Tejun Heo + + * Add missing setattr flags to <fuse_lowlevel.h>. + + * Only pass valid flags to ->setattr(). + +2008-12-05 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Implement ioctl support. On high level interface only + "restricted" ioctls are supported (which are defined with the + _IO(), _IOR(), _IOW() or _IOWR() macros). Unrestricted ioctls + will only be allwed to CUSE (Character Device in Userspace) + servers. Patch by Tejun Heo + +2008-11-28 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * If open sets fi->nonseekable, libfuse will tell the kernel that + the file is not seekable. Patch by Tejun Heo + +2008-11-19 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * lowlevel lib: fix deadlock if fuse_reply_* is called from the + interrupt handling function. Reported by Tero Marttila + +2008-10-16 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Allow commas in options to be escaped with a backslash + + * Add new function: fuse_opt_add_opt_escaped() + + * Add missing fuse_reply_bmap() to the version script + +2008-10-14 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Pass current file flags to read and write operations + +2008-07-24 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Clean up debug output in highlevel lib + +2008-07-10 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Released 2.8.0-pre1 + +2008-06-27 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Fix handling of (no)suid and (no)dev options if filesystem is + mounted from /etc/fstab or via mount(8). Reported by Jan Ondrej. + + * Skip calling mount(8) if /etc/mtab doesn't exist or if it's on a + read-only filesystem. This works around issues with certain mount + implementations. Reported by Szabolcs Szakacsits. + +2008-06-16 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Remove fuse kernel module sources. Linux 2.6.27 will support + NFS exporting. + +2008-06-10 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Fix theoretical infinite loops in libfuse. Reported by Szabolcs + Szakacsits + + * Fix missing <sys/param.h> include for PATH_MAX. Reported by + Szabolcs Szakacsits + +2008-05-23 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Fix mounting over symlink. Reported by Szabolcs Szakacsits + +2008-05-09 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Don't allow bigger than 4kB writes by default on 2.6.26 and + later kernels, so that filesystems not expecting this are not + broken on a kernel upgrade. Provide a 'big_writes' mount option + to enable this feature. In future API revisions this may become + the default. + +2008-04-09 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Update warning message for missing newline at end of fuse.conf + + * Update debug message for successful operation to not include the + string "error:" + +2008-04-08 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> + + * Update error message for missing mountpoint parameter.
