[Unionfs] [ANNOUNCE] Unionfs 2.1.8 released

[Erez Zadok]

We are pleased to announce Unionfs 2.1.8.  Changes from 2.1.7 are:

- bug fix: don't oops in check_inode after lookup error
- bug fix: prevent deadlock in branch-management after pivot_root
- bug fix: delete whiteouts in sticky directories (for unix semantics)
- mmap: rewrite unionfs_writepage (better efficiency and correctness)
- mmap: remove unionfs_sync_page (unnecessary)
- don't printk errors if they are normal during copyup (create_parents)
- cleanup permission-checking code
- update documentation (read-only leftmost branch vs. read-only union)
- updated for 2.6.24-rc1 and 2.6.22.11

Note: the mmap fixes in this release are very important to anyone using
unionfs with tmpfs.  Please test thoroughly.

This code was tested on all of our ports: 2.6.{24,23,22,21,20,19,18,9}.
