Announcing NOOFS 0.8 Release Candidate

The NOOFS development team is proud to announce its new release version 0.8
of its new network file system.

The project is developed within the framework of an end of studies
project in EPITECH. The major goal of this project is to provide a
file system storing its data in an SQL relational database (MySQL,
PostgreSQL, Oracle...). NOOFS is an experimental project which gives
solution to the problems and limitations of the current file system.

In this direction NOOFS allows:

* Sharing data through the network
* Advanced security management
* Quick search thanks to database engine
* Extended information on the file system elements
* Virtual Directories Management: folder with dynamic contents
* Native data integrity management

Changes since version 0.7:

- New FUSE client with enhanced cache support (FUSE >= 2.4.0)
We recommend to try this new client instead of using the classic kernel
driver for the moment.

- PostgreSQL 8.0 driver fixed

- Major improvements of MySQL 4.1 driver

- New support of MySQL 5.0

- Major bug fixes in the kernel FS driver for kernel 2.6.x.x

- libxml2 removed: NOOFS no more use the libxml2 to have less packages
dependencies

- Major bug and security fixes for the whole project
