Hello,

Release 0.4.0 for libsysfs is now available at:

	http://linux-diag.sourceforge.net 

A number of changes have been made in this release which will 
require a few modifications to applications already using 
the library. (udev-009 already has a bulk of these changes).

Here are the important additions/changes:

	* Postponed reading directories and attributes until 
		absolutely necessary. 
	* Structure elements that are lists or references to 
		structures are not populated by default. APIs 
		have now been provided to populate them.
	* All "open" functions that take absolute path as argument
		now have a "_path" suffix.
	* Provided attribute "refresh" functions to read in updated
		attribute values.
	* Changes for klibc compatibility.
	* Provided APIs to retrieve device/class_device "parent".
	* Added manpages for lsbus and systool (Thanks to Martin Pitt).

Please visit http://linux-diag.sourceforge.net/Sysfsutils.html for 
more information.

Comments, suggestions welcome! 


Thanks,
Ananth
