Hello,

I am pleased to announce the release of GNU mtools version 4.0.14.

GNU mtools is available for download from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools and the mirror sites worldwide (see
http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html for the list of those).

The signed sources can be obtained from ftp.gnu.org and its world-wide
mirrors:

  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.14.tar.gz    (480K)
  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.14.tar.bz2   (376K)
  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.14.tar.lz    (321K)

The same directory also contains pre-compiled Debian and RPM packages.

Mtools is a collection of utilities to access MS-DOS disks from GNU
and Unix without mounting them, to change FAT-specific file attributes
(hidden, archive, system), and to format FAT media.

Mtools supports W32 style long file names, FAT32, OS/2 Xdf disks and
2m disks (store up to 1992k on a high density 3 1/2 disk). Mtools also
includes mpartition, a simple partitioning programing. It is also a
convenient tool to work with disk image files (thanks to the -i flag).

Since version 4.0.0 mtools now has full support for Unicode filenames.


For more information on mtools, including links to file downloads,
please see the mtools web page: http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools

Please email bugs or suggestions to <info-mtools@gnu.org>.


Improvements since the 4.0.13 release are:

* Added utility (mshortname) to display short name equivalents of long names
* Fixed backup bootsector writing in mtools and mformat, which
confused partitionmanager (... and presumably other software as well)
* Fixed mlabel serial number signedness bug
* Fixed buffer size issue in mlabel
* in scripts, quote filename parameters
* Added lzip support (uz script, and packaging)
* added tot_sectors (-T) option to mformat
* fixed hidden sector handling in mformat
* cleanup of configure script (drop pointless linker flags)
* fixed floppyd for large-sized USB disks

Regards,

Alain
