WikipediaFS 0.3 released

I probably should not have spent so much time on this with all the things I have to do lately but here we are: I have released WikipediaFS 0.3. With WikipediaFS, you can view and edit Wikipedia articles as if they were real files.

Highlights for this release :

- Compatible with new fuse-python API
- Rewritten from scratch
- Significant reliability and performances improvements
- HTTPS, HTTP authentication support (in addition to HTTP and proxy)
- Subpages support
- Automatically make directories for sites from the Wikimedia foundation
- Files now need the “.mw” extension!

Overall, I am very happy with this release!

I would like to thank Csaba Henk (fuse-python’s maintainer and author of fuse’s port to FreeBSD) for his prompt answers to my questions.

Sébastien Delafond uploaded this version to the Debian servers yesterday. By the way, yesterday I found out that WikipediaFS 0.2 had been downloaded almost 2000 times on sourceforge. Not bad ! :-)
