Hi folks,

Version 0.6 of the Linux Filesystem Defragmenter has been uploaded to
tsx-11, sunsite and funet.  Defrag now supports all native Linux
filesystems, including minix, extfs, ext2fs and xiafs.  It should be
available now or shortly in the following locations:

    tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/defrag-0.6.tar.gz
    ftp.funet.fi:/pub/OS/Linux/util/tools/defrag-0.6.tar.gz
    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz

This is a full public release.  There are no known bugs.  (yet. :-)

NB:
   
 * You will need GNUMake-3.70 or later and libncurses-1.8.1 or later
   to compile defrag-0.6.
 * Recent kernels no longer recognise the escape sequence generated by
   ncurses for the diamond special character (ACS_DIAMOND).  Your
   /usr/lib/terminfo/c/console description may not work if you run
   defrag from the linux console; check out the terminfo description
   supplied with defrag-0.6.

New in defrag-0.6 (public release):

 Version 0.6 fixes all known bugs in version 0.5, and updates
 documentation and Makefile.

New in defrag-0.5 (development release):
 ext2fs and xiafs support
 ascii-graphic progress display
 e2dump and xdump diagnostic utilities.

Many thanks are due to Alexei Vovenko for the ext2fs/xiafs and picture
code.

I'd be very interested to hear how well e2defrag performs for you.

Cheers,
 Stephen.
