Changed Changelog format

Up to now, the Changelog has essentially been a (manually maintained)
copy of the git commit history. This doesn't seem to have any point
other than following the GNU coding standards. I believe it's much
better to use the Changelog to summarize the release-to-release
changes that are most important for users (as was done in the NEWS
file until now).

-2012-05-14  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
+* Support atomic renames if server is OpenSSH 4.9 or later
 
-	* When checking root directory use LSTAT not STAT.  This prevents
-	I/O error being returned after a successful mount if a symlink is
-	mounted.  Reported by Bart Friederichs
+* Support getting disk usage if server is OpenSSH 5.1 or later
 
-2012-03-08  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
+* Small enhancements and bug fixes
 
-	* Released 2.4
+What is new in 1.9
+------------------
 
-2012-03-08  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
+* Fix a serious bug, that could result in sshfs hanging, crashing, or
+  reporting out-of-memory
 
-	* Make sure idmap files aren't writable by others otherwise, other
-	local users could change the mapping, and gain access to things
-	they shouldn't.  Patch by Mike Kelly
+What is new in 1.8
+------------------
 
-2012-02-08  Chris Wolfe <cwolfe@chromium.org>
+* Bug fixes
 
-	* Add -o slave. This option routes the sftp communication over stdin
-	and stdout, bypassing SSH and network.
+What is new in 1.7
+------------------
 
-2011-12-16  Mike Kelly <mike@pair.com>
+* Tolerate servers which print a banner on login
 
-	* Add -o idmap=file, -o uidmap=FILE, -o gidmap=FILE. These options
-	allow you to create a pair of local files, similar to /etc/passwd or
-	/etc/group files from the remote server, and use those to remap all
-	the given UIDs/GIDs.
+* Small improvements
 
-2011-11-25  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
+What is new in 1.6
+------------------

-	by Vivenzio Pagliari
+* Workaround for missing truncate operation on old sftp servers
 
-2011-11-16  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
+* Bug fixes
 
-	* Submit max 32k reads and writes to the sftp server.  Also don't
-	limit the kernel to 64k reads and writes, rather split into 32k
-	sized chunks and send them to the server all at once.  This is
-	more efficient and less demanding from the server.  Reported by
-	Ludovic Courtès.  Fix suggested by Niels Möller
+What is new in 1.5
+------------------
 
-2011-11-14  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
+* Improvements to read performance.  Now both read and write
+  throughput should be very close to 'scp'
 
-	* Fix double free if reconnection races with request sending.
-	Patch by E. Kuemmerle
+* If used with FUSE 2.6.0 or later, then perform better data caching.
+  This should show dramatic speed improvements when a file is opened
+  more than once
 
-	* Add locking around modifver and connver
+* Bug fixes
 
-2011-10-21  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
+What is new in 1.4
+------------------
 
-	* Remove "-oPreferredAuthentications" from ssh options if the
-	"password_stdin" option is used.  Reported by E. Kuemmerle
+* Updated to version 25 of libfuse API
 
-2011-08-24  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
+* This means that the 'cp' of readonly file to sshfs bug is finally
+  solved (as long as using libfuse 2.5.0 or later *and* Linux 2.6.15
+  or later)
 
-	* Add "-oworkaround=fstat" for SFTP servers which don't support
-	the FSTAT message.  Patch by: Percy Jahn
+* Sshfs now works on FreeBSD
 
-2011-07-01  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
+* Added option to "transform" absolute symbolic links
 
-	* Released 2.3

+------------------
 
-2011-07-01  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
+* Add workaround for failure to rename to an existing file
 
-	* Add hard link operation.  Works if the server supports the
-	"hardlink@openssh.com" protocol extension.
+* Simple user ID mapping
 
-2011-03-25  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
+* Estimate disk usage of files based on size
 
-	* Fix possible deadlock on reconnection.  Reported by Florian
-	Zumbiehl
+* Report "infinite" disk space
 
-2011-01-25  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
+* Bug fixes
 
-	* Fix cleanup when ssh connection is terminated.  This prevents
-	sshfs hanging when the server is rebooted, for example.
+What is new in 1.2
+------------------
 
-2010-03-16  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
+* Better compatibility with different sftp servers
 
-	* Set FD_CLOEXEC on fuse device.  This prevents deadlocks that
-	happen in some circumstances (bugzilla.kernel.org #12864).
-	Reported by Tim Connors
+* Automatic reconnect (optional)
 
-2009-07-15  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
+What is new in 1.1
+------------------
 
-	* Check mountpoint and fuse options before starting an ssh
-	session (debian bug #535333).  This is only supported if compiled
-	against libfuse-2.6 or later. Reported by Greg Kochanski
+* Performance improvements:
 
-	* Check that the remote path specified refers to the same type of
-	file as the mountpoint, i.e. both are directories or both are
-	non-directories (debian bug #535343).  Reported by Greg Kochanski
+   - directory content caching
 
-	* Allow mounting a single non-directory from the server
+   - symlink caching
 
-2009-07-15  Sebastian Dransfeld <sebastid@tango.flipp.net>
+   - asynchronous writeback
 
-	* Add option 'delay_connect': This will always create the sshfs mount,
-	even if the connection to the server can't be established.
+   - readahead
 
-2009-01-27  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
+* Fixed '-p' option
 
-	* Print usage information and version to stdout, not stderr.
-	Libfuse also needs to be fixed up.  Reported by Kārlis Repsons

-2008-06-24  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Add '-F' option to specify the ssh config file.  Patch by Pat
-	Pascal.
-
-2008-05-06  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-

-	mode writes.  Reported by Jose Alonso
-
-2008-05-05  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Fix compile on OS X.  Original patch from Michael G Schwern
-
-	* Fix compile on Solaris.  Reported by Jean-Jacques Sarton

-	or above.  Reported by Christian Boltz.
-
-2008-04-16  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* If debugging is enabled, print some statistics at exit about the
-	number of bytes transferred, etc..
-
-2008-03-31  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Support "posix-rename@openssh.com" extension available in
-	OpenSSH 4.9.  This allows rename to be atomic even when target
-	file or directory exists.  If available, the extension will be
-	used instead of the rename operation in the original protocol and
-	the "-oworkaround=rename" option will be ignored.
-
-2008-03-28  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Add support for password authentication with pam_mount.
-	Original patch and help with testing: John S. Skogtvedt

-
-	* Fix condition for building of sshnodelay.so
-
-2007-12-17  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Released 1.9
-
-2007-12-12  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Fix checking for fuse_opt_parse in configure
-
-2007-12-11  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Fill in st_ctime attribute with st_mtime, instead of leaving it
-	zero
-
-	* Check for OpenSSH version >= 4.4, and if found, don't build the
-	sshnodelay.so workaround
-
-2007-12-10  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-

-
-	* Abort on allocation failure instead of exit
-
-	* Correctly show default of nodelaysrv workaround in help message
-
-2007-05-16  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Released 1.8
-
-2007-05-15  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Add needed g_thread_init() to fix rare crashes.  Reported by
-	Dimitrios Apostolou
-
-	* Fix memory leak in sshfs_open_common()
-
-2007-04-18  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Fix crash within gdb, caused by sem_wait() returning with an
-	error on interrupt.  Reported by Dimitrios Apostolou
-
-	* Fix spurious cache entries remaining after renaming a directory
-
-2007-02-28  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Don't set DISPLAY environment variable to "", because it breaks
-	ssh-askpass.  Make nodelaysrv_workaround default to off, because
-	with this change it may have security implications.
-
-2007-02-19  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* OpenSSH sftp-server can read requests faster, than it processes
-	them, when it's buffer is full it aborts.  This can happen on a
-	large upload to a slow server.  Work around this by limiting the
-	total size of outstanding reqests.  Debian bug #365541.  Tracked
-	down by Thue Janus Kristensen
-
-	* Add --disable-sshnodelay configure option.  The sshnodelay.so
-	hack shouldnt be needed with OpenSSH client versions >= 4.3
-
-2006-12-20  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Work around write performace issues due to missing TCP_NODELAY
-	in sshd.  Reported by Justin Searle
-
-2006-11-10  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Fix bug which ommitted directory entries for symlinks with the
-	-ofollow_symlinks option.  Bug reported by Mikael Ståldal
-
-2006-09-29  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Fix segfault if there are outstanding writes to the server after
-	release on the file descriptor.  This only happened on FreeBSD.
-	Reported by Andriy Gapon
-
-2006-08-18  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Released 1.7
-
-2006-08-17  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Cosmetics on bogus statfs numbers
-
-2006-08-16  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Add option 'follow_symlinks' to resolve symlinks on the server.
-
-	* On setups where the login shell prints a banner, the sftp
-	protocol was confused, and bailed out with "reply len too large:
-	...".  So iterate over any rubbish read immediately after login
-	until a valid reply is found.
-
-	* Check remote directory for existence before mounting.  Closes
-	Ubuntu bug #46633
-
-2006-03-10  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Use socketpair() instead of pipe() for communication between ssh
-	and sshfs.  Patch from Csaba Henk
-
-	* Update to FUSE interface version 26
-
-2006-03-09  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Released 1.6
-
-2006-03-09  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Fix segfault if remote host is down and reconnection is enabled
-
-2006-03-08  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Fix bug in symlink transformation.  Reported by Ralf Hoffmann
-
-2006-02-24  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Add workaround for broken truncate on old sftp servers.  Can be
-	enabled with '-oworkaround=truncate'.  Patch from Joseph M Link
-
-2006-02-23  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Avoid double memcpy on writes.  Patch by Joseph M Link
-
-	* More memory copy avoidance
-
-2006-02-22  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Add -fPIC to the comile flags of sshnodelay.so.  Reported by
-	Anthony Kolasny
-
-2006-02-20  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Released 1.5
-
-2006-02-19  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Fix compilation with old FUSE versions.  Report by Kurt George
-	Gjerde
-
-2006-02-16  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Block TERM/INT/HUP/QUIT signals in sshfs reading thread, so they
-	will always be received by the FUSE main thread.  Fixes the
-	"double ^C" problem seen on FreeBSD.
-
-	* Use 'auto_cache' option if available, so that file cache is not
-	thrown away on each open.  This should make repeated reading of a
-	file much much faster.
-
-2006-01-31  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Fix problems with nodelay workaround on FreeBSD.
-
-2006-01-30  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Fix data consitency bug if readahead is enabled and writes are
-	intermixed with reads.  Solution is far from optimal, since it
-	will prevent readahead in the above situation.  If used with FUSE
-	>= 2.6.0 with Linux-2.6.X, readahead will be done by the kernel,
-	and hence there will be no performance penalty.  Bug reported and
-	test program written by Wolfgang Köbler.  Further testing on
-	FreeBSD by Csaba Henk
-
-2006-01-29  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Add '-olarge_read' option for Linux-2.4.*.  This should
-	generally improve download performance
-
-2006-01-27  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Add workaround (enabled by default) for ssh clients not setting
-	TCP_NODELAY on the network connection.  Currently this is all
-	known versions of openssh.  This may improve download speed in
-	some circumstances
-
-	* Make it possible to idividually disable workarounds with a "no"
-	prefix
-
-	* Change '-otransform_symlinks' not to prefix with the mountpoint
-	(which is fragile wrt. moving/binding the mount).  Rather convert
-	absolute symlinks to relative if possible.  Does not yet work if
-	base path is itself relative
-
-2006-01-25  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Use TCP_NODELAY socket option for direct connection.  This may
-	improve download speed in some circumstances
-
-2006-01-20  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Update to fuse API 2.6
-
-	* Don't do readahead in sshfs if it's done in kernel
-
-2006-01-14  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Released 1.4
-
-2006-01-09  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Added 'transform_symlinks' option to "fix-up" absolute symlinks.
-	Patch by Paul Jarc
-
-	* Add option parsing implementation, so linking with older than
-	2.5.0 libfuse still works.
-
-2005-12-09  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Use new option parsing interface of FUSE
-
-2005-11-28  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Set statvfs::f_frsize
-
-2005-11-23  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Fix warnings on 64bit systems.  Reported by D. R. Evans
-
-2005-11-16  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Replace EPROTO with the more portable EIO
-
-	* Fix bug in option parsing.  Reported by Csaba Henk
-
-2005-10-29  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Use FUSE version 25 if available
-
-	* Add <sys/socket.h> include.  Reported by Csaba Henk
-
-2005-10-29  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Released 1.3
-
-2005-10-28  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Add atomic create+open and ftruncate operation.  This should fix
-	issues with 'cp' and other programs failing with "Permission
-	denied".  To be effective, needs FUSE version 2.5 and kernel
-	version 2.6.15 (just a guess, since neither of them is released
-	yet).
-
-2005-10-27  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Add support for SSH protocol version 1.  Bug reported by Miklos
-	Bagi Jr.
-
-2005-10-26  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Fix typo (ConnectTimeout -> ConnectionTimeout) in ssh options.
-	Bug reported by Miklos Bagi Jr.
-
-2005-10-19  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* GNOME Nautilus fails to copy file to sshfs filesystem, because
-	FUSE returns zero free space.  So instead return huge (999999999
-	kbytes) amount of free space, yet it should be obvious that the
-	number is artificial.  Bug report by Peter Kronheimer
-
-2005-10-18  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Add remote uid detection and translation ('idmap=user' option).
-	Idea and implementation details worked out by Jean-Marc Valin
-
-2005-10-17  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Add one more missing lock.
-
-	* Add workaround for failure to rename to an existing file.  Based
-	on patch by Michael Best
-
-2005-10-15  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Protect request ID allocation with mutex.  Bug report by Tvrtko
-	Ursulin
-
-2005-08-17  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Try to calculate approximate disk usage of files from their
-	size, so that 'du' returns meaningful results.  Problem reported
-	by Bernd Amend.
-
-2005-08-15  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Released 1.2
-
-2005-08-13  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Add 'reconnect' option, which tries to reconnect to the server
-	when the connection is broken.  If a password is required for
-	connection, it is recommended that you install ssh-askpass, and
-	set the SSH_ASKPASS environment variable (see 'man ssh' for more
-	details).
-
-2005-05-05  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Work around missing truncate() support in some older sftp
-	servers (only works for zero size truncate).  Thanks to Eduard
-	Czimbalmos for the bug report and help with testing
-
-2005-04-13  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Fix compilation with gcc-2.95.  Reported by David A. Gershman
-
-2005-03-08  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Make it work on server version 2 (e.g. Sun_SSH_1.0.1).  Report
-	and testing by Pieter J. Kersten
-
-2005-03-04  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Released 1.1
-
-2005-03-03  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Slightly optimize readahead.  Still not clever enough to always
-	keep the pipe filled.
-
-	* Add 'sshfs_debug' option
-
-2005-02-17  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Parse 'max_read' mount option and if smaller than 65536 forward
-	to FUSE
-
-2005-02-16  Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
-
-	* Added simple readahead (big performance gain in case of
-	sequential read pattern).  Can be disabled with '-o no_readahead'
