[ANNOUNCE] mtd-utils-2.1.0 is released

[David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

mtd-utils-2.1.0 is released.

Tarball:               ftp://ftp.infradead.org/pub/mtd-utils/mtd-utils-2.1.0.tar.bz2
Tarball gpg signature: ftp://ftp.infradead.org/pub/mtd-utils/mtd-utils-2.1.0.tar.bz2.asc
Signed git tag:        git://git.infradead.org/mtd-utils.git v2.1.0


After quite some time that has passed since the last mtd-utils release, the
new 2.1.0 release brings (as usual) a lot of fixes but also some new features.

More precisely, it includes the long anticipated mkfs.ubifs support for file
level encryption, better mkfs.ubifs tooling for SELinux and an lsblk like
utility for inspecting the MTD/UBI stack on a system. Hence the minor version
bump.

While the mkfs.ubifs encryption support has seen some use already and should
work (TM) for most use cases, I expect that fixes for various untested edge
cases will eventually be merged over the coming months up to the next patch
level release.


Changes from 2.0.2 to 2.1.0:

Features:
 - mkfs.ubifs: Implement support for file system encryption
 - mkfs.ubifs: Implement selinux labelling support
 - ubinize: add support for skipping CRC check of a static volume when opening
 - ubimkvol: add support for skipping CRC check of a static volume when opening
 - Add lsmtd program

Fixes:
 - update various kernel headers
 - Instead of doing preprocessor magic, just output off_t as long long
 - fix verification percent display in flashcp
 - mkfs.ubifs: fix double free
 - mkfs.ubifs: Fix xattr nlink value
 - ubinize: avoid to create two UBI_LAYOUT_VOLUME_ID volume
 - common.h: fix prompt function
 - libmtd: don't print an error message for devices without ecc support
 - io_paral: Fix error handling of update_volume()
 - ubimkvol: Initialize req to zero to make sure no flags are set by default
 - libubi: add volume flags to ubi_mkvol_request
 - mkfs.ubifs: add_xattr is not depending on host XATTR support
 - Revert "Return correct error number in ubi_get_vol_info1" which
   introduced a regression.
 - make sure pkg-config is installed in configure script
 - ubiformat: process command line arguments before handling file arguments

Cleanup:
 - ubiformat: remove no-volume-table option
