Hello,

Release 0.4.0 for libsysfs is now available at:

        http://linux-diag.sourceforge.net

A number of changes have been made in this release which will
require a few modifications to applications already using
the library. (udev-009 already has a bulk of these changes).

Here are the important additions/changes:

        * Postponed reading directories and attributes until
                absolutely necessary.
        * Structure elements that are lists or references to
                structures are not populated by default. APIs
                have now been provided to populate them.
        * All "open" functions that take absolute path as argument
                now have a "_path" suffix.
        * Provided attribute "refresh" functions to read in updated
                attribute values.
        * Changes for klibc compatibility.
        * Provided APIs to retrieve device/class_device "parent".
        * Added manpages for lsbus and systool (Thanks to Martin Pitt).

Please visit http://linux-diag.sourceforge.net/Sysfsutils.html for
more information.

Comments, suggestions welcome!

Thanks,
Ananth
