About: Pretendroot is an LD_PRELOAD library which overrides some glibc calls, pretending you are root while doing file system operations. The main difference from Debian's fakeroot is that no daemons or other processes are involved, fake ownership and group are stored on the file system, and not in memory, hence it can survive even reboots. This library has been successfully used when building packages for the UHU-Linux distribution. All of its applications are compiled and installed as an unprivileged user. However, there's no need to patch Makefiles; commands such as "install -o root -g mail thisfile ${DESTDIR}/here" work perfectly, and the final packages will have the desired ownership and group. Changes: Properly destroys meta-data of a file that ceases to exist because a rename() call replaces it with a new file. Environment variables are altered in the wrapper script instead of the library, so that they can be freely modified within a pretendroot session.

The end-of-volume script can send the new volume name to tar by writing it to the file descriptor stored in the environment variable 'TAR_FD'.

Changes: This release brings extensive performance improvements in text layout and drawing (approximately 2 to 2.5 times faster), with smoother scrolling, faster relayout when changes are made, less CPU usage, and shorter print times, especially on longer documents.
