The following new releases of Unionfs 2.0 are now available on

	<http://unionfs.filesystems.org/>

linux-2.6.23-rc1-u1	(new port)
linux-2.6.22.1-u3
linux-2.6.21.6-u3
linux-2.6.20.14-u5
linux-2.6.19.7-u5
linux-2.6.18.8-u5
linux-2.6.9-u3

Changes from last set of releases:

1. mmap bug fixes to unionfs_writepage/readpage/sync_page.  These are
   crucial fixes when using unionfs in memory-constrained environments and
   especially for those of who using TMPFS.

2. correctness and cache-coherency: implement native ->fsync and ->fasync.
   This is a vital fix especially for people who compile their kernel with
   CONFIG_BLOCK=n (usually for very small embedded systems).

3. cache-coherency: update root inode times after branch management

4. bugfix: correctly count lower vfsmount references after branch
   management, when open files are revalidated.


As usual, feel free to report all problems you find to

	<https://bugzilla.filesystems.org/>

Enjoy.

Erez, on behalf of the Unionfs team.
