| SQUASHFS CHANGE LOG |
| |
| 1.0 23 OCT 2002 Initial release |
| |
| 1.0c 14 NOV 2002 Bug fix release |
| |
| Fixed bugs with initrds and device nodes |
| |
| 1.1 8 JAN 2003 Added features |
| |
| 1. Kernel squashfs can now mount different byte order filesystems. |
| 2. Additional features added to mksquashfs. Mksquashfs now supports |
| exclude files and multiple source files/directories can be |
| specified. A nopad option has also been added, which |
| informs mksquashfs not to pad filesystems to a multiple of 4K. |
| See README for mksquashfs usage changes. |
| 3. Greater than 2GB filesystems bug fix. Filesystems greater than 2GB |
| can now be created. |
| 4. Patch for 2.4.20 kernels. |
| |
| 1.1b 16 JAN 2003 Bug fix release |
| |
| Fixed readpage deadlock bug. This was a rare deadlock bug that |
| happened when pushing pages into the page cache when using greater |
| than 4K blocks. I never got this bug when I tested the filesystem, |
| but two people emailed me on the same day about the problem! |
| I fixed it by using a page cache function that wasn't there when |
| I originally did the work, which was nice :-) |
| |
| 1.2 13 MAR 2003 Append feature and new mksquashfs options added |
| |
| Mksquashfs can now add to existing squashfs filesystems. Three extra |
| options "-noappend", "-keep-as-directory", and "root-becomes" |
| have been added. |
| |
| The append option with file duplicate detection, means squashfs can be |
| used as a simple versioning archiving filesystem. A squashfs |
| filesystem can be created with for example the linux-2.4.19 source. |
| Appending the linux-2.4.20 source will create a filesystem with the |
| two source trees, but only the changed files will take extra room, |
| the unchanged files will be detected as duplicates. |
| |
| See the README file for usage changes. |
| |
| 1.3 29 JUL 2003 FIFO/Socket support added plus optimisations and |
| improvements |
| |
| 1. FIFOs and Socket inodes are now supported, |
| 2. Mksquashfs can now compress files larger than available |
| memory, |
| 3. File duplicate check routine optimised, |
| 4. Exit codes fixed in Mksquashfs, |
| 5. Patch for Linux 2.4.21, |
| 6. Patch for Linux 2.6.0-test1. Hopefully, this will work for |
| the next few releases of 2.6.0-testx, otherwise, I'll be |
| releasing a lot of updates to the 2.6.0 patch... |
| |
| 1.3r2 14 OCT 2003 Second release of 1.3, bug fixes and extra patches for |
| new kernels |
| |
| 1. Bug fix in routine that adds files to the filesystem being |
| generated in mksquashfs. This bug was introduced in 1.3 |
| (not enough testing...) when I rewrote it to handle files larger |
| than available memory. This bug caused a SEGV, so if you've ever |
| got that, it is now fixed, |
| 2. Long running bug where ls -s and du reported wrong block size |
| fixed. I'm pretty sure this used to work many kernel versions ago |
| (2.4.7) but it broke somewhere along the line since then, |
| 3. New patch for Linux 2.4.22, |
| 4. New patch for 2.6.0-test7, this replaces the patch for 2.6.0-test1. |
