Hello, I am pleased to announce the release of GNU mtools version 4.0.13.
GNU mtools is available for download from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools and the mirror sites worldwide (see http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html for the list of those). The signed sources can be obtained from ftp.gnu.org and its world-wide mirrors: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.13.tar.gz (477K) ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.13.tar.bz2 (374K) The same directory also contains pre-compiled Debian and RPM packages. Mtools is a collection of utilities to access MS-DOS disks from GNU and Unix without mounting them, to change FAT-specific file attributes (hidden, archive, system), and to format FAT media. Mtools supports W32 style long file names, FAT32, OS/2 Xdf disks and 2m disks (store up to 1992k on a high density 3 1/2 disk). Mtools also includes mpartition, a simple partitioning programing. It is also a convenient tool to work with disk image files (thanks to the -i flag). Since version 4.0.0 mtools now has full support for Unicode filenames. For more information on mtools, including links to file downloads, please see the mtools web page: http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools Please email bugs or suggestions to <info-mto...@gnu.org>. Improvements since the 4.0.11 release are: * Mingw compatibility fixes * Merged Debian patches: - added missing byte-swap flag initialization in plain_io - manpages for lz, uz, tgz, mcomp and mxtar - spelling fixes fixes in doc - automatically patch right config file location into doc - removed .iX tag, and replaced .lp with .PP - removed obsolete -m486 compilation flag - switched over to new SG_IO SCSI API on Linux - fixed overlong filename detection Regards, Alain _______________________________________________ GNU Announcement mailing list <info-gnu@gnu.org> http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnu
