Dokan

I’m now preparing to launch the next version of Dokan library.

There are a lot of improvements from the previous version. I changed many parts of the driver especially communication between the driver and the user mode library. This makes Dokan much stable and removes some deadlocks. I also add some new features. If you are interested in the detail, please check the subversion repository.
Please be careful if you use the above files. They may crash your computer.

I’m planing to change the API to fix Explorer file deletion problem.
API changing requires to re-compile all other application that depends on Dokan library, such as Dokan.NET and Dokan Ruby binding. I need more tests because I changed a lot.

All the libraries will be launched in a week.
Thank you for many comments and bug reports.

2008/12/09 Update:
The next version of Dokan is almost done. I updated the repository. From this version, the license of Dokan driver is changed to LGPL from GPL. Dokan API is changed. DOKAN_FILE_INFO structure, DOKAN_OPTIONS structure, DeleteFile, DeleteDirectory and Cleanup are changed. Please re-check dokan.h file. I’m still investigating the existing issues and I hope to launch the new version in a few days.
