Good day,

We had over a million web hits since the stable release and how else we 
could celebrate it other then releasing an even better driver?

So, here we go. This release includes a new cluster/block allocator to 
improve large file performance in close to full and/or highly fragmented 
disk scenarios, and without negatively effecting old, unrelated 
performances, reliability and functionality.

This version is being tested for over three weeks, having many positive 
feedbacks, no apparent side-effects, and only improvements are visible 
which are sometimes quite impressive. You can find performance numbers 
in the announcement of the release candidate of this release at

    http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ntfs-3g.devel/124

This release has no changes compared to the latest release candidate 
besides document updates and hopefully giving more helpful and 
explanatory error and warning messages. The major changes in each 
release are available at:
