Announcing vmfs-tools version 0.2.0

This release should have occurred much earlier, but I wanted to work on a test suite before. Seeing how that was not going to happen any soon, I decided to defer the test suite to 0.3.0 and released 0.2.0 today.

It adds a basic support for MBR-style partition tables as they are usually found on VMFS containing LUNs (i.e. a single 0xfb typed partition), a basic fsck tool which only does a few checks and no corrections, and a better debugvmfs shell (but still with the same commands, which ought to change in 0.3.0). It also supports loading a multiple extents VMFS with missing ones (except the first one, which contains everything).

This new release has also been tested to build and work on FreeBSD 7.2, Opensolaris 2009.06 and Cygwin 1.5.25.
