15	rewritten.  The new driver includes many bug fixes and performance
16	enhancements, as well as the following user-visible features:
17	* Optional kernel-side permissions checks (-o default_permissions)
18	* mknod(2), socket(2), and pipe(2) support
19	* server side locking with fcntl(2)
20	* FUSE operations are now interruptible when mounted with -o intr
21	* server side handling of UTIME_NOW during utimensat(2)
22	* mount options may be updated with "mount -u"
23	* fusefs file system may now be exported over NFS
24	* RLIMIT_FSIZE support
25	* support for fuse file systems using protocols as old as 7.4
26
27	FUSE file system developers should also take note of the following new
28	features:
29	* The protocol level has been raised from 7.8 to 7.23
30	* kqueue support on /dev/fuse
31	* server-initiated cache invalidation via FUSE_NOTIFY_REPLY
