FAS 0.6 provides exactly the same functionality as FAS 0.5.

FAS' index files simply consist of the output of "ls -lR". Since
newer versions of ls slightly changed the output format of ls,
FAS 0.5 didn't work on recent Linux distributions.

Version 0.6 features a more robust file parser, making it compatible
both with the "old" and the "new" ls output. Also, I have added 
"LANG=C" to the ls lines in the FAS support scripts, to prevent
problems with localized ls output.

If FAS 0.5 is working fine for you, there is no reason to upgrade.
If FAS 0.5 didn't work for you, then version 0.6 should now work.

If FAS 0.5 stopped working after a distribution upgrade, install
version 0.6 as described in the README. Use the same list file
paths as in your previous installation; you can then search your
old index files again.
