Good news everyone! There’s a new libeatmydata release! I’ve put a source tarball up on the launchpad page: release-79.

This version packs:

• RPM and debian packaging in tree
• A bug fix so that O_SYNC and O_DSYNC are properly discarded on 32bit machines both with and without _FILE_OFFSET_BITS being set.

I’d love to hear any feedback and receive any patches (hopefully things still work well on MacOS X and Solaris). So far, libeatmydata has had contributions from the following people, and many thanks to them:

• Stewart Smith
• Alexey Bychko
• Blair Zajac
• Phillip Susi
• Modestas Vainius
• Monty Taylor
• Olly Betts
• Pavel Pushkarev
• Elliot Murphy
• Eric Wong
• Tamas TEVESZ
• Joachim Berdal Haga
• Mohsen Hariri
