[Description Justin Lecher (RETIRED) 2009-06-01 06:27:56 UTC]

Can you please update to this version?

Perhaps it is a final release, don't know how you created the last release.

4.0     5 APR 2009      Major filesystems improvements

        1. Kernel code improvements:

            1.1 Fixed little endian layout adopted.  All swapping macros
                removed, and in-line swapping added for big-endian
                architectures.
            1.2 Kernel code substantially improved and restructured.
            1.3 Kernel code split into separate files along functional lines.
            1.4 Vmalloc usage removed, and code changed to use separately
                allocated 4K buffers

        2. Unsquashfs improvements:

            2.1 Support for 4.0 filesystems added.
            2.2 Swapping macros rewritten.
            2.3 Unsquashfs code restructured and split into separate files.

        3. Mksquashfs improvements:

            3.1 Swapping macros rewritten.  Fixed little-endian layout allows
                code to be optimised and only added at compile time for
                big endian systems.
            3.2 Support for pseudo files added.
