+MinixFS 0.70 pl6
+================
+
+
+Note: Only run with FreeMiNT 1.15.0 and above!
+
+      This is an update archive and include only the source from MinixFS and a
+      minix.xfs ready to install. All other tools (minit, fsck, ...) are not
+      included here.
+
+
+What's new?
+-----------
+
+First, a more detailed list of changes you found in Changes.
+
+I removed completly the cache management and low level I/O interface. This is
+integrated in the new kernel. This reduce also the code size (now 26 kb,
+MinixFS 0.60 ~40 kb). For technical reasons I must remove (buggy) Mount/Unmount
+Support.
+
+I also added some new Dcntl's that are used by FSetter for example.
+
+Please note that the old MinixFS use 120 kB as default cache. The default cache
+of the new buffer cache management in FreeMiNT 1.15 is 100 kB. And the new global
+buffer cache is also used by the new fat-fs and other xfs in the future.
