04/06/2002 - 1.6.99 - Work in progress.
18/01/2003 - 1.7.0beta - Library rewrite and many new tools.
- Highlights of this release are the now hopefully stable API sported
by an almost completely rewritten library and the new utilities;
ntfsresize, ntfsundelete, and ntfslabel.
Note this is a beta release so it may not be free of bugs.
- New tool ntfslabel written by Matthew Fanto with a few cleanups from
me to make it fit in with e2label better.
- Extend ntfs_mount() to also read in the volume label.
- Add man page for ntfslabel.
- New tool, ntfsundelete, written by Richard Russon.
- New tool, ntfsresize, written by Szakacsits Szabolcs.
- Extend ntfs_mount() to also read in the volume label.
- Silence verbosity of output from ntfs_mount(). It is now only output
if ./configure was run with --enable-debug.
- Remove a LOT of dead code. Massive cleanup.
