There are lots of cosmetic changes, but this release brings a very
important bug fix:
- Fixed f_unlink() does not remove cluster chain of the file.
With R0.10c if you try to write a file that is too large to fit in the
free space of the drive, the operation fails, you delete the incomplete
file, and it seems to be erased, but the space is not really freed,
because any subsequent write operations fail because the drive is
"still" full. The only way to recover from this is by formatting the
drive. I can confirm that R0.11 fixes the problem.
Some important changes to the way the file system is structured on the
pyboard:
1. 0: and 1: drive names are now replaced with POSIX inspired
directories, namely /flash and /sd.
2. Filesystem now supports the notion of a current working directory.
Supports the standard Python way of manipulating it: os.chdir and
os.getcwd.
3. On boot up, current directory is /flash if no SD inserted, else /sd
if SD inserted. Then runs boot.py and main.py from the current dir.
This is the same as the old behaviour, but is much more consistent and
flexible (eg you can os.chdir in boot.py to change where main.py is run
from).
4. sys.path (for import) is now set to '' (current dir), plus /flash
and /flash/lib, and then /sd and /sd/lib if SD inserted. This, along
with CWD, means that import now works properly. You can import a file
from the current directory.
5. os.listdir is fixed to return just the basename, not the full path.
See issue #537 for background and discussion.
