Hello,
I am pleased to announce the release of GNU mtools version 4.0.26
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 sources can be obtained from ftp.gnu.org and its world-wide mirrors:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.26.tar.gz (516K)
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.26.tar.bz2 (411K)
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.26.tar.lz (364K)
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).
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 4.0.25 release are:
- Fix compilation on Macintosh
- Ignore image file locking errors if we are performing a
read-only access anyways
- Minor man-page fixes
Note: for this release, I updated my GPG signing key to a 4096 bit RSA key.
The new public key, signed with my previous 1024 bit key may be found on
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/E99CF5537790B839.gpg.asc
Regards,
Alain
