Improvements since the 4.0.17 release are:
Fix for names of iconv encodings on AIX
Fix mt_size_t on NetBSD
Fixed compilation on Mingw
Fixed doc (especially mformat)
Fix mformat'ing of FAT12 filesystems with huge cluster sizes
Minfo prints image file name in mformat command line if an image
file name was given
Always generate gzip-compressed RPMs, in order to remain
compatible with older distributions
Fixed buffer overflow with drive letter in mclasserase
to use 64bit file offsets where available for seek()ing etc. However, the
easy case (sizeof(off_t)>4) is handled incorrectly: mt_size_t is set to
size_t - maybe a copy and paste from the fall-back-to-32bit case.
This type is used at least in init.c, when detecting media size and comparing
to the FAT geometry, consequently failing and erroring out with the message
"Big disks not supported on this architecture."
The patch does handle the (e.g. NetBSD) case of 64bit off_t the same as
the case where a off64_t is available (and the other 64bit off_t-equivalent
cases); namely using off_t as mt_size_t.
Thanks to riastradh@ for pointing out where the bug in llong.h was.

Fixed output formatting of mdir if MTOOLS_DOTTED_DIR is set
Mformat now correctly writes backup boot sector
Fixed signedness of serial number in mlabel
Fixed buffer size problem in mlabel
Make mlabel write backup boot sector if FAT32
Catch situation where both clear and new label are given to mlabel
Quote filename parameters to scripts
Mformat: Close file descriptor for boot sector
Added lzip support to scripts/uz
Added Tot_sectors option to mformat
Fixed hidden sector handling in mformat
Minfo generates mformat command lines containing new -T option
Mlabel prints error if label too long
3.9.11 is mostly a maintenance release which fixes a couple of bugs,
and addresses warnings raised by gcc4, and merges some platform-specific
patches (MingW, NetBSD, Redhat/Fedora, Cygwin, Solaris), and other
patches (such as the new amuFormat.sh written in sh).
* Support for multiple drives in floppyd
* Updated .spec file
* Fixed some long name directory entry freeing bugs
* Fixed duplicate FAT writing error. Fixed segfault on short images.
* Mformat creates images of correct size.
* CYGWIN compatibility (O_BINARY flag).
* Cygwin patch for plain_io.c (no locking)
* Fix a couple of memory leaks in config file parsing. Fix llong.h
(redefined same symbol twice)
* Fix a variable initialization problem in plain_io.c
* New mclasserase command to erase memory cards
C99 "compatibility" (cf http://www.mtools.linux.lu/download.html)
* Fix rootskip and rate of XDF disks
* Fix inverted IS_MFORMAT_ONLY conditon in plain_io.c
* Moved putc after variable description (anybody knows about a -W
flag so that gcc warns about these?)
* Fixed mattrib -p (missing slash)
* Added -m option to mformat to specify a non-standard mediabyte
* Added -d options to mformat to specify number of FAT copies. Can
also be set using the MTOOLS_NFATS environmental variable.
which are the full option names used to set rpath directives for the
linker and the compiler, respectively. In places were we are invoking
the linker, use "${LINKER_RPATH_FLAG} <path>", where the space is
inserted in case the flag is a word, e.g. -rpath. The default values
of *_RPATH_FLAG are set by the compiler/*.mk files, depending on the
compiler that you use. They may be overridden on a ${OPSYS}-specific
basis by setting _OPSYS_LINKER_RPATH_FLAG and _OPSYS_COMPILER_RPATH_FLAG,
respectively. Garbage-collect _OPSYS_RPATH_NAME and _COMPILER_LD_FLAG.
* Large disk fixes, especially for Solaris
* Floppyd robustness
* Zip 250 support in mzip
* Protect against division by zero when reading BSD disks
* Fixed parsing of Unix filenames ending with slash
* Fixes for floppyd to work with current protocol version of floppyd
* Warn for invalid partition numbers
* Support for geometry-less Atari disks
* Support for byte-swapping disks
* Fixed max numbers of sectors for FAT12 and FAT16
See ChangeLog for details
- fix device handling on NetBSD ELF (from Pavel Arnost via PR pkg/21530)
- fix floppyd handling in better and simpler way
- don't hardcode -R, use RPATH_FLAG instead
- remove unused cruft, style nits
