Changelog
linux-ntfs (2.0.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release (closes: #444900). ntfsmount sports full read/write,
libntfs can read encrypted files and ntfsresize supports Vista. Other
interesting details are:
- ntfsmount now creates files and directories with security descriptor
that grant full access to everyone.
- ntfsmount: Remove "show_sys_files" as potential harmful and introduce
new "case_insensitive" option to support both case sensitive and
- Allow mounting volumes with non-clean logfile with force mount option.
- ntfsclone: Define endianness safe image format.
- Introduce NTFS_MNT_FORENSIC mount option, otherwise the logfile gets
wiped out by the mount attempt if it is not read-only.
- mkntfs: Generate a random DCE compliant UUID for the created volume
and include --with-uuid[=PFX] and --without-uuid options.
- mkntfs: Always set default cluster size to 4096 bytes regardless of
volume size. This is what Windows Vista does and it makes perfect
sense from a performance point of view.
- mkntfs: As announced, remove the deprecated support for creation of
NTFS 1.2/3.0 volumes. It now creates NTFS 3.1 volumes only.
- mkntfs: Create more Vista-like volumes. It now matches the security
descriptor attributes (but not yet the security descriptors stored in
$Secure).
insensitive mounts.
- libntfs: Ignore bootsector checksum inconsistencies as too many 3rd
party utilities update the boot sector without correcting the
checksum.
- ntfsdecrypt: Major improvement! Now the .pfx file is validates to be
the right type of RSA key and other safety checks.
- Transparently integrate reading of encrypted files into library. This
adds a dependency on libconfig >= 1.0.1 to read list of PFX files with
keys, imposible to have because that libconfig is not packaged in Debian
(as far as I know).
- Fixed lots of bugs along all the code, and also resolved endianness
bugs.
- Fixed typos (closes: #437893).
* debian/control:
- Added dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.19) to Build-Depends in order to use
${binary:Version} instead of ${Source-Version} in the dependency of
libntfs-dev on libntfs9. Thanks to Frank Küster (closes: #414124).
- Added uuid-dev and dependency on libfuse-dev >= 2.7.0.
- Commented out parts talking about ntfsdecrypt, as I need libconfig (not
the one that is in Debian) packaged before. This, apparently, closes:
#427789.
* Fixed some lintian errors.
