Seems like it was just yesterday that that 0.10 images came out...
ohhh it was. :-)
Well several bugs have been fixed over the past few day so
guess it is time to update things.
The most significant potential show stopper that has been fixed
was the reading of a file past 4gig resulted in the bmaps wrapping
back to the beginning.
errno EFSCORRUPTED has been reverted back to it's own value
using EIO was resulting in certain portions of the code
incorrectly handling the shut down case.
Along with the bug fixes a few rpm/config issues have been
changed:
o SGI partition support is now on by default.
o RPMs have been generated on a 6.2 rpm 3.0.5 based system
rather than a Wolverine rpm 4.0.x based system.
This should provide better compatibility with RH 6.2 on up
and possibly other rpm based distributions.
o kernel rpm requirements on ppp, kudzu, e2fsprogs, isdn.
have been removed. These were hold overs from the RH Rawhide
stuff, and probably shouldn't cause problems.
o Conflicts that were added xfsprogs < 1.1.4 and xfsdump < 1.0.2
due to changes in the SETBLKSIZE ioctl.
The installer has not been rev'd to this release level.
No changes to the installer have been made at this time
so in an effort to save time and effort, it will not be
updated until which time is has something significant to
say.
As always for the brave outdoories type the likes to chop their own
wood and drive their own compilers tar file of the commands and
kernel patch files have been generated.

Ohh one final note I haven't actually booted these images so
please don't shoot me if by some obscure reason they don't work.
Please do drop us a note although.
