new release (0.3.0?) needed

[thinrope]

I recently discovered this project and was hoping to add it to Gentoo. I work in digital forensics, so sometimes such capability is needed. Some time has passed since the last release, I combed through the issues and other forks and here is what I found:

• large file support
  Work done by @mlsorensen and standing PR Handle VMFS5's double indirect pointer for files > 256G #14 I guess this will need to be reworked a bit to include fix for 1TB or even better, merge his master.
  This will resolve issues Read corruption on large files (vmdk) #8, special file I/O error #12, large files have unknown size and can't be read #3 (and of course Handle VMFS5's double indirect pointer for files > 256G #14); may be vmfs3 Copy FIle Zero Bytes Copied SHell Hung - Debug Sequence #9 and fsck.vmfs doesn't handle pointer blocks ("File Block 0xnnnnnnnn is lost") #1 as well.

• order of lookup
  Discovered by @trapgate, that is inside Crash accessing VMFS volumes containing linked clones #15, may be no need for PR and based on the comments there and the code change I guess it is obvious.

@glandium: Let me know if I can make it easier for you to get the release out!

(Disclaimer: I have no ESX access at the moment to test :-/ )

Seconded. Disks are huge these days, and these limits -- plus the 2 GB extent one -- are holding this project back.

Please issue new release so upstream dists (Ubuntu, Debian) can work with large VMFS file support.
