Journaled Files LIBrary

Case test scripts were tested with the ksh shell.
The new jf_file_printf and jf_file_vprintf
functions were implemented. Support was added for
DOS text files (CRLF/NL conversions). Two venial
bugs in jf_journal_commit_int and
jf_journal_rollback_int were fixed. Case test tmp
files can now be sent to a desired path by setting
the TEST_TMP_PATH environment variable at
configure time. Constants The
JF_JOURNAL_PROP_STORAGE_* variables have been
renamed to JF_JOURNAL_PROP_VIRTMEM_*.

The library has now been compiled and tested in Cygwin (Windows 2000). Some minor bugs in the case test scripts were fixed and some dependencies on the bash shell were removed.

A new "jf_recover" utility program was added. Its main features a "test mode" for checking the "recovery pending"/"journal damaged" status and a "perform mode" for fixing these after crashes. A new FAQ was added.

Two new utility programs have been added: "jf_leave" to
allow a journaled file leaving a journal, and "jf_rename" to
rename a journaled file. A minor bug has been fixed in some
case test scripts.

Two new utilities were added: jf_create for creating a journal file from the command line, and jf_join for "transforming" a standard file in a journaled file. A minor bug in the "jf_journal_rollback_int" function was fixed and a little optimization was made for when "--enable-extra-check" is not activated.
