Hello,

I am pleased to announce the release of GNU mtools version 4.0.21

GNU mtools is available for download from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools and the mirror sites worldwide (see
http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html for the list of those).

The sources can be obtained from ftp.gnu.org and its world-wide mirrors:

  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.21.tar.gz    (506K)
  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.21.tar.bz2   (404K)
  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.21.tar.lz    (360K)

The same directory also contains pre-compiled Debian and RPM packages.

Mtools is a collection of utilities to access MS-DOS disks from GNU
and Unix without mounting them, to change FAT-specific file attributes
(hidden, archive, system), and to format FAT media.

Mtools supports W32 style long file names, FAT32, OS/2 Xdf disks and
2m disks (store up to 1992k on a high density 3 1/2 disk). Mtools also
includes mpartition, a simple partitioning programing. It is also a
convenient tool to work with disk image files (thanks to the -i flag).

For more information on mtools, including links to file downloads,
please see the mtools web page: http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools

Please email bugs or suggestions to <info-mtools@gnu.org>.


Improvements since the 4.0.20 release are:

  - Fixed compilation for MingW
  - After MingW compilation, make sure executable has .exe extension
  - Addressed compiler warnings
  - Fixed length handling in character set conversion (Unicode file
    names)
  - Fixed matching of character range, when containing Unicode
    characters (mdir "c:test[α-ω].exe")
  - Fixed initialization of my_scsi_cmd constructor

Regards,

Alain
