+Announcing the release of mkdosfs version 0.3b (Yggdrasil)
+
+It seems I didn't get the bug completely fixed in 0.3a. Some
+borderline cases would still allocate too many sectors for the FAT.
+Again, nothing to worry about, just a nitpick -- this one would only
+in certain cases add one sector per FAT.
+
+Announcing the release of mkdosfs version 0.3a (Yggdrasil)
+
+Fixed a bug which would cause too many sectors to be reserved for the
+FAT (filesystem will still work fine, but have slightly less space
+available).
+
+Announcing the release of mkdosfs version 0.3 (Yggdrasil)
+
+This version correctly handles even very large filesystems, and
+properly supports the modern (3.3+) DOS bootsector format, including a
+message printed on boot attempts.

+
+Announcing the release of mkdosfs version 0.2
+
+
+I've just uploaded mkdosfs to sunsite.unc.edu. It works in a similar way
+to Remy Card's mke2fs, but creates an MS-DOS file system.
+
+The filename is mkdosfs-0.2.tar.gz.
+
+This second release should fix a small bug that could lead to FAT sizes that
+Linux's dosfs would accept but MS-DOS wouldn't.
+
+The archive contains a manual page, binary and source versions.
