In a minor packaging breakthrogh, a .deb for UML is now available. The UML block driver now supports a read-write COW layer above a shared read-only filesystem. This allows multiple UMLs to boot off the same filesystem. See http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/shared_fs.html for more information. The ppc port is now fully merged. The pid file and mconsole socket are now located in a directory defined by the UML umid. There is now IO memory emulation. This allows a host file to be mapped by a UML driver, which can provide whatever interface it wants to that file to UML processes. This is a first step towards doing hardware driver development under UML. gdbs are now killed properly. A nasty bug involving a misunderstanding with FASTCALL was fixed. Block devices and network devices are now pluggable from the mconsole - they can be added to and removed from a running system. See http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/mconsole.html for more information. SIGHUP no longer causes UML to go crazy.
