  * Keep the same performance for Oracle data files as OCFS1.

+WHAT'S NEW SINCE BETA 4
+ * Fixed many bugs, including Bugzilla bugs 118 and 121 from the Beta
+   3 list of known issues.
 
- Highlights since Beta 3 include: 
+ * We are now posix compliant, according to the LTP Test Suite.
 
- * Huge performance increases. The number of performance fixes is too
-   many to list here.
- * Disk format now supports multiple block sizes. Cluster size
-   support has not changed.
- * Directory meta data has completely changed. Our directories look
-   much like Ext2/3 directories now. This gives us a very large
-   performance boost and reuses code (ext3) which has been extensively
-   tested.
- * Inode meta data reorganized to be more efficient with respect to 
-   space usage.
- * Many posix fixes, including posix style inode persistent numbers,
-   posix style delete, link (2) and many more.
- * Raise the limit of # nodes to 256
- * Linux Kernel 2.6 support

 KNOWN ISSUES

+ in.
