davfs2 development migrated from cvs to git. Future releases will be taken from 'main' branch.

Starting from now davfs2 is no longer maintained by me but by Ali Abdallah who stepped up for this task.
Ali is a mathematician, computer scientist and free software enthusiast. He is the original author of the power manager and the
multimedia player software shipped with the Xfce desktop.

I just released version 1.6.1 with some minor bugfixes.
This is my last release of davfs2. Future releases will be done by a new maintainer.

I don't use davfs2 myself for many years now and would like to hand the project over to someone with more interest than me.
Please contact me by email.

The new release brings:
- The coda module is dropped. It would have required some serious maintenance. But the fuse kernel file system is better suited anyway. So coda is no longer required.
- The neon library from version 0.31 on has a workaround for SharePoint's href-bug. davfs2 can use this workaround.
- Some minor bug fixes (see the ChangeLog file).

Just after releasing 1.5.3 two important bugs showed up that needed fixing.
- mount.davfs frequently reads /proc/mounts. This is necessary with coda but not with fuse. When running two instances of mount.davfs using fuse these reads may trigger a kernel bug and create a deadlock.
- when mount.davfs receives SIGTERM it stops reading from the fuse device. In this case kernel fuse will make umount(8) hang forever.
Both bugs are fixed in release 1.5.4.

This release fixes a stack smashing error that only showed on 32-bit systems and when compiled with -fstack-protector-all.
