Release v2.2
============

* This release brings some critical fixes so an upgrade is highly
  recommended, especially on x86_64 and Ubuntu.

* PRoot is now a lot faster: the speed-up can be up to 50% depending
  on the kind of application.

* PRoot can now mount/bind files anywhere in the guest rootfs, even if
  the mount point has no parent directory (and/or can't be created).
  With previous versions of PRoot, that would created kinda black hole
  in the filesystem hierarchy that might bug some programs like "cpio"
  or "rpm".

  For example, with the previous version of PRoot::

       $ proot -b /etc/motd:/black/holes/and/revelations
       proot warning: can't create the guest path (binding) ...
       proot info: started

       $ find /black
       find: `/black: No such file or directory

       $ cat /black/holes/and/revelations
       Time has come to make things right -- Matthew Bellamy

  And now::

       $ proot -b /etc/motd:/black/holes/and/revelations
       proot info: started

       $ find /black
       /black
       /black/holes
       /black/holes/and
       /black/holes/and/revelations

       $ cat /black/holes/and/revelations
       Time has come to make things right -- Matthew Bellamy

* "/run" was added to the list of recommended bindings (-B/-Q).

* SH4 and ARM architectures are now officially supported.
