Hi all.
2.1.9 is now available on Sourceforge. The .14 test release was a
success, so I feel ready to roll a new stable release.
Changes since 2.1.8:
- New filewriter.
For a quick howto, see:
http://lists.suspend2.net/lurker/message/20050401.062929.94256a4e.en.html
Here's a simpler variation on step 3:
dd if=/dev/zero of=my_padding bs=1M count=400
for a 400 megabyte file.
Note that the file MUST NOT be sparse. If you follow the instructions
given, you'll be safe.
- /proc/software_suspend/resume_commandline
This provides access to the commandline used when you resumed. Writable
so it can be cleared if security is a concern.
- Lowlevel code has been sliced, diced and rearranged in order to make
adding support for new architectures a little easier. We also rewrote
some code, thanks to Johannes for the stack moving idea. PPC code is up
to date. Still no working amd64, sorry.
- Userspace Userinterface support added. See the wiki for a howto. We're
planning on making this the only user-interface component in 2.1.10, so
please seek to test/get familiar with it now.
- Swapwriter no longer deprecated. I previously announced that the
swapwriter would be removed in favour of the filewriter. I've since
changed my mind. Instead, support for building Suspend code as modules
has been removed. This means that we only add one symbol export, which
will make upcoming efforts at merging into mainline a little easier.
Regards,
Nigel
