• 12 Jul 2008 - Kernel patches for Linux 2.6.26 and openSUSE 11.0 have been added to the Downloads page.
• 18 Jun 2008 - Dazuko 2.3.5 and nullfs 0.0.3 have been merged together as DazukoFS. This is now available in the development section of the Downloads page. Testers are welcome, but please be aware that nullfs is still considered experimental. Be sure to read through the README's within the package.
• 7 Jun 2008 - 2.3.5 has been released. It has been made available in patch form for Linux kernels after 2.6.22. Please see the README listed next to each download.
• 17 May 2008 - Version 0.0.3 of nullfs has been posted in the development downloads. This version now locks the parent directory while making changes to the underlying files. Copyrights and code style has also been updated to bring the code into a form that will be acceptable to mainline Linux.
• 27 Apr 2008 - Version 0.0.2 of nullfs has been posted in the development downloads. This version supports Linux 2.6.25.
• 23 Apr 2008 - Version 0.0.1 of nullfs has been posted in the development downloads. This is a NOOP stackable filesystem that has been written from scratch (though based on the work of the FiST and ecryptfs projects). nullfs will eventually become the basis for DazukoFS (Dazuko 3.0). Using nullfs we will be able to work out any bugs related to stackable filesystems.
• 20 Mar 2008 - The pre-release version 2.3.5-pre1 has now been made available as a Linux 2.6 kernel patch. This patch will allow Dazuko to work with the latest Linux kernels. Please read the README included in the package.
• 20 Feb 2008 - 2.3.5-pre1 has been posted. This addresses a major locking problem on FreeBSD as well as several compiling issues reported with the 2.3.4 version. It also adds support for Dazuko to be compiled as a RedirFS filter.
• 5 Feb 2008 - For Dazuko's 6th birthday the web page has been converted to a Wiki. Anyone who creates an account is free to help improve the information on this web page.
• 17 Dec 2007 - Due to a change in employment, all Dazuko packages have been resigned using the GnuPG key 0xA698DA99. The previous key (0xABE0B106) has been revoked.
• 11 Oct 2007 - 2.3.4 has been released and is labeled as the latest stable version. Aside from many small fixes and enhancements, this version includes one important change. For Linux 2.6 with LSM, there is no longer a dependency on the __d_path kernel symbol. This means that no kernel patches are required for Linux 2.6 if you use LSM (default and recommended).
• 1 Oct 2007 - Pre-release version 2.3.4-pre3 has been posted. This includes some minor fixes and new options as requested by users. It also includes an LSM API patch that was being shipped with openSUSE. As always, please refer to the CHANGELOG for more details.
• 29 Aug 2007 - Due to another change in the upcoming Linux 2.6.23 LSM API, another pre-release for 2.3.4 has been posted.
• 27 Aug 2007 - 2.3.4-pre1 has been posted. With this version, Dazuko for Linux 2.6 (LSM) no longer requires __d_path(). This allows SMP machines to safely support chroot'd processes with Dazuko. This version also adds support for the latest Linux LSM API.
