Changes since 0.5.7:
 
* Make extension options really able to copy the current data.
* Detect unparseable numbers in the extended options.
* Tags were stored in an incorrect order, making any value of uids, gids and
  timestamps larger than 4095 ending up with a wrong value.
 
Changes in the not released 0.5.7:
 
* A test suite is now included (but may not work correctly in all
  circumstances).
* Implemented including files by pattern, and combining this with excludes
* It is now possible to override alignment with a smaller value:
  genromfs -A2048,*.boot -A1024,m68k.boot -A512,m68k.boot
* Unix permissions, including mode bits, user and group id, and even
  mtime may be saved for individual files. This needs a format change,
  which is backward compatible, but older kernels will not recognise
  any of these features.
 
Changes in release 0.5.2:
 
* faked device names may contain the special characters "-" "_" and "+"
  Thanks to Greg Ungerer
* code changes -- avoid possible side effects of ntohl(), and report
  nonexistant directories instead of a segfault
  Thanks to Ilguiz Latypov
* version numbers are checked at make distcheck time
 
Changes in release 0.5.1:
 
* the man page is now installed correctly
* documented @ special files, updated man page version
* manual wording updates
 
Changes in release 0.5:
 
* genromfs builds on Linux (libc5, glibc), FreeBSD, Solaris, with gcc
* added a script to generate device special files
* merged in the uClinux changes, thanks to:
  Greg Ungerer (gerg -at- snapgear.com)
  The LEOX team (lpm/bdl/bronche -at- leox.org)
  profesor -at- sidehack.sat.gweep.net
** allow specifying device files by names @dev,b,major,minor
** -x option to exclude files
** portability fixes to compile on Solaris
* print version
* spelling fixes
 
Changes in release 0.3:

  by Jakub Jelinek.

* Added manual page by Christoph Lameter.
