From: Greg Millam Date: 2005-10-29T16:52:26+09:00 Subject: [ANN] FuseFS-0.5 Lo, another travesty was visited upon the ruby-talk community ... and this one was named ... FuseFS 0.5! -------------- FuseFS is a ruby module that lets you define Filesystems in ruby, so you can navigate a database. Browse virtual filesystems with ls and cd! Or even, with _why_the_lucky_stiff's railsfs.rb (included in FuseFS 0.5!) view your Ruby On Rails data on your filesystem! Do you want to know more? http://redhanded.hobix.com/inspect/railsfsAfterACoupleMinutesOfToolingWithFuseWhoa.html Aside from the awesome railsfs.rb and the FUSE-2.4 change, what else is included? Well, remember how you couldn't get some apps to recognize a file as being anything other than empty? Well now you can correct that assumption! fuseroot#size will be called on files, so when xmms tries to load your ruby-offered mp3, it'll be able to! And a treat for those working with big (and I mean BIG) files that they don't want all loaded into ram: "raw_open" and associated methods will allow fuseroot to receive the actual, individual read and write requests for each file, so that you can return portions of a file at a time! http://rubyforge.org/projects/fusefs/ Happy coding! - Greg
