Version 4.04.03

Release date: 2012-05-18

Requirements

µC/Clk V3.09.03
µC/CPU V1.29.01
µC/CRC V1.09.01
µC/LIB V1.37.00

New features & improvements

Device Access Locks: These locksneeds to be acquired for all direct device layer (FSDev_####()) API calls. The filesystem core functions (FSFile_####(), FSDir_####(), etc.) will acquire these locks automatically needed.
Device Invalidation: Allowsuser to invalidate a device. Invalidating a device prevents any further operation on an open volume or entry associated with the specified device to succeed. Errors will be returned by any function accessing an invalidated entry or volume until those entries and volumes are closed and reopened. This is useful when devices are accessed externally directly through the device layer, asthose access can cause the file system to be modified, and thus cause cached data related to volume or entries to become invalid. This is required for interoperation with USB Device Mass Storage Class (MSC).
Sector-aligned file buffers: New file buffer mode that forces file buffers start positions to be aligned with sector boundaries, for increased performance.

API changes

OS Port Layer: FS_OS_WorkingDirSet() now takes an error pointer aslast argument and may fail.

Bug fixes

fs_fstat(): modification time and creation time are interchanged.
FSDir_NameParseChk() might modify the entry name it receives.
FAT12: ClusValWr and ClusValRd incorrectly write/read cluster values across sector boundaries, forodd numberedFAT table entries.
Extending a directory table beyond a cluster causes entries to vanish.
Creating a directory without exclusive flag set fails when directory already exists.
