Hi,
mtd-utils-2.0.0-rc1 is released.
Tarball: https://bombadil.infradead.org/~goliath/mtd-utils-2.0.0-rc1.tar.bz2
Tarball gpg signature: https://bombadil.infradead.org/~goliath/mtd-utils-2.0.0-rc1.tar.bz2.asc
Signed git tag: git://git.infradead.org/mtd-utils.git v2.0.0-rc1
I am taking over maintainership of mtd-utils together with Richard Weinberger.
Since there are some issues with access rights during the transition, the
release tarball is not on the usual FTP server yet. An FTP link will follow as
soon as the issues are resolved.
This is a release candidate. A second release candidate is scheduled for
Wednesday next week. Assuming all goes well, the final release of
mtd-utils 2.0.0 will be two weeks from now.
We are doing this, along with the major version number bump, because there
were some greater changes to mtd-utils. Most notably, there was a complete
restructuring and cleanup of the source tree and the hand written Makefile
got replaced with an autotools based build system.
This way, we hope to get some feedback on the new build system and other
changes before the final release.
For the near future, we do not have plans for similarly drastic changes, so
we do not anticipate another version with release candidates any time soon.
Below is a brief summary of the changes since version 1.5.2. Fixes for the
build system superseded by the build system upgrade or fixes for features
added after the latest release are omitted:
Features:
- libmissing with stubs for functions not present in libraries like musl
- unittests for libmtd and libubi
- port most kernel space mtd test modules to userspace
- mkfs.ubifs: extended attribute support
- ubinize: Move lengthy help text to a man page
- nandwrite: Add skip-all-ff-pages option
- flash_{un,}lock: support for MEMISLOCKED
- nandtest: support hex/dec/oct for --offset and --length
Fixes:
- common: Fix 'unchecked return code' warnings
- common: Fix PRI{x,d}off definitions for x86_64 platform
- common: include sys/sysmacros.h for major/minor/makedev
- common: fix wrong format specifiers on mips32
- libmtd: Fix uninitialized buffers
- libmtd: Eliminate warnings about implicit non-const casting
- libmtd: Fix return status in mtd_torture test function
- libmtd: mtd_read: Take the buffer offset into account when reading
- mkfs.ubifs: use gid from table instead 2x uid
- mkfs.ubifs: fix compiler warning for WITHOUT_LZO
- mkfs.ubifs: fix build when WITHOUT_LZO is set
- mkfs.ubifs: correct the size of nnode in memset
- mkfs.jffs2: initialize lzo decompression buffer size
- mkfs.jffs2: Fix scanf() formatstring for modern C version
- nanddump: check write function result for errors
- nanddump: write requested length only
- flash_{un,}lock: don't allow "last byte + 1"
- flash_{un,}lock: improve strtol() error handling
- ubinize: Always return error code (at least -1) in case of an error
- recv_image: fix build warnings w/newer glibc & _BSD_SOURCE
- serve_image: use proper POSIX_C_SOURCE value
- flashcp: Use %llu to print filestat.st_size
- mtd_debug: check amount of data read.
- fs-tests: integrity: don't include header <bits/stdio_lim.h>
- tests: Fix endian issue with CRC generation algorithm
- make_a_release.sh: fix MTD spelling
Cleanup:
- autotools based build system
- complete restructuring of the source tree
- cleanup of some utilities
- removal of some very old, unused or duplicated files from the source tree
- libmtd: removal of very old, completely unused and broken functions
