| [Announce] Squashfs 2.1 released (compressed filesystem) |
| Date: |

Hi all,
I'm pleased to announce the release of Squashfs 2.1. This release
introduces indexed directories which considerably speed up directory
lookup (ls, find, etc.) for directories which are greater than 8K in
size. All directories are now also sorted alphabetically which further
speeds up directory lookup.
Many smaller improvements have also been made in this release, and there
are, for the first time, the results of some tests of Squashfs lookup
and I/O performance against Zisofs, Cloop, and CRAMFS.
For further details please go to the project page
http://squashfs.sourceforge.net.
Regards
Phillip Lougher
