Hi,

Minor maintenance release, mainly for the purpose to make ntfs-3g perfectly 
work with tools (e.g. rsync) which actively rely on fully posix file 
timestamps handling.

Embedded distros may also like the new --disable-library configure option, 
thanks to Bernhard Kaindl. Please see more below.

Major changes in this release:

    *  fix:  utime() also updated the timestamp of the parent directory 
       but it shouldn't have.

    *  fix: ignore the "volume dirty" bit because its real meaning is 
       "check the volume". The fact of the real dirtiness is stored in 
       the NTFS logfile which is already checked for.

    *  fix: compilation failed with glibc 2.7

    *  new: the --disable-library 'configure' option can be used not to 
       install but link libntfs-3g into the ntfs-3g binary. This decreases 
       the binary size by 10-15% and increases performance by about 2-5%. 

The source package can be downloaded from

Have fun,
