In a minor packaging breakthrogh, a .deb for UML is now available.
The UML block driver now supports a read-write COW layer above a shared
read-only filesystem. This allows multiple UMLs to boot off the same
filesystem. See http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/shared_fs.html for
more information.
The ppc port is now fully merged.
The pid file and mconsole socket are now located in a directory defined
by the UML umid.
There is now IO memory emulation. This allows a host file to be mapped by a
UML driver, which can provide whatever interface it wants to that file to
UML processes. This is a first step towards doing hardware driver development
under UML.
gdbs are now killed properly.
A nasty bug involving a misunderstanding with FASTCALL was fixed.
Block devices and network devices are now pluggable from the mconsole - they
can be added to and removed from a running system. See
http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/mconsole.html for more information.
SIGHUP no longer causes UML to go crazy.
The project's home page is http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net
