<h1> API CHANGE 2.0 : </h1>
List of the scheduled changes for the GFal 2.0 API
BRIEF OF THE CHANGES :
- The old POSIX API is still unchanged, some new POSIX functions are added to the old one.
- 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 )
- 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.
- LRC/EDG legacy support is dropped.
- Lots of the old direct dependencies are no more needed and are removed ( globus, gsoap, ccheck )
