I cannot answer questions about Linux -- I merely summarize the kernel
patches after reading them. I try to make them useful to everyone,
but kernel hackers should take them with a grain of salt and read the
patches themselves. The patch file is patch-1.3.1.gz
These are expanded from Linus's description:
- Updated the README.
- Kernel now uses Unicode to map characters to fonts, so the font mapping code is completely different.
- Seems that both 14F and 34F Ultrastor can have old firmware, not just 14F.
- Now implements shared writable mappings. It may work perfectly fine. It
may eat your filesystem and laugh evilly at you. You have been
warned.
- Fixed a bug in the minixfs "df" that resulted in bogus values for the free block count.
- constant_memcpy_tofs and _fromfs now work for larger sizes (up to 16 bytes).
