List of the scheduled changes for the GFal 2.0 API
</pre><h2>BRIEF OF THE CHANGES : </h2>
<ul>
<li>The old POSIX API is still unchanged, some new POSIX functions are added to the old one.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>the old non-POSIX functions do not exist anymore, most of them are converted to a POSIX one ( ex : gfal_ls -> gfal_opendir, gfal_readdir; gfal_turlsfromsurls -> gfal_getxattr )</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>SRM related API is now in the gfal_plugin_lib. All the generic use case of the SRM API can be done with the POSIX API.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The old confusing error system disappear for a new GError system : <a class="el" href="group__posix__group.html#gac937c592821b1f2f7686c576e2594cba">gfal_posix_check_error</a> , <a class="el" href="group__posix__group.html#ga1a6354be6455622730969cc2e430688e">gfal_posix_print_error</a>, <a class="el" href="group__posix__group.html#ga3ba7d2031bf6c389002a9ccd2f4715ce">gfal_posix_strerror_r</a></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>LRC/EDG legacy support is dropped.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Lots of the old direct dependencies are no more needed and are removed ( globus, gsoap, ccheck )</li>
</ul>
<h2>OTHER DOCS : </h2>
<ul>
<li>More informations about the GError system : <a href="http://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Error-Reporting.html">http://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Error-Reporting.html</a> </li>
