38 v 1.10: August 19, 2003
40 First UCLA release -- no longer publically maintained or released
41 by Sensoria. This version is the UCLA (public) fork.
43 Kernel module now, finally, has correct fine-grained locking that
44 does not assume atomicity of kernel code. In other words, FUSD is
45 now safe for SMP machines, preemptible kernels, etc.
47 Python bindings have been contributed by Brian Warner.
49 The old /dev/fusd control file has been moved into a subdirectory,
52 Human-readable status is now available in /dev/fusd/status.
54 By doing an ioctl() on /dev/fusd/status, it can also give you
55 binary status information -- reads will return an array of
56 fusd_status_t structures.
58 Many, many subtle bugs have been fixed (e.g. rare race
61 Lots of updates and bug-fixes to the documentation, which was
62 carefully read by a number of people who were actually trying to
66 v 1.04: February 5, 2002
68 Change from the point of view of clients: Selecting on an FD being
69 provided by a FUSD driver will return as part of the exception set
70 if the driver disappears. Useful for client programs that want to
71 gracefully handle driver crashes.
73 Some changes to get semantics of poll_diff (closer to) correct -
74 will require some more changes later
76 Reduced max number of messages dispatched per call to
77 fusd_dispatch. very slightly less efficient, but more fair.
79 Protocol change - max name length now 47 instead of 31
81 Minor kernel module fixes: Fixed the malloc.h/slab.h confusion,
82 and added MODULE_LICENSE.
84 Minor API change: fusd_register now takes a const char *
85 name instead of a char *name.
