Older libc snapshots will not be happy. - -The binary images (hurd-floppy.fs.gz and hurd-image.tar.gz) have not -been updated. It is difficult to use the Hurd standalon, because the -Mach boot loaders can now no longer boot the Hurd. A new boot loader -is nearly finished.

The Hurd programs are normally built static; this -will probably change soon. - -The ext2fs server now works, as do the tools to manipulate ext2fs -filesystems. A snapshot of the tools will be made soon under separate -cover. Many thanks to Ted Ts'o for his valuable work on the tools. - -Readers of the Makefiles will notice that we now generate dependencies -automatically. - -The old netserv library is gone. - -The `boot' hack has been modified slightly to avoid the normalq libc startup -files, because they no longer work with UX. - -Some small bugs have been fixed in the devio server. - -The ports library has been totally rewritten; new features permit -servers to have greater control over thread RPC's and port creation. - -The fshelp library now does most of the work for translator -interaction; it's simpler now too. Filesystems have much less work to -do; the relevant code in libdiskfs is now understanble instead of -unparseable chaos. - -The ports library provides for timeouts; the diskfs library almost -uses it, but because of a bug, it's disabled for now. - -Filesystems are now expected to sync themselves if necessary; the new -fsys_set_options RPC provides for changeing (or cancelling) the sync -intervale. The diskfs library does this for you. The update program -is no longer necessary. - -A small bug in the proc server has been hacked around; the real fix -will come later. - -Many important bugs in the C library have been fixed since the last -snapshot; perhaps all of them. ;-) - |
