Development branch for second 6.x version. Once 1.0 is released, this will be the primary branch for ofilebrowser.

Primary change is that directory listings are now nodes. This means that the Drupal path to the node can be altered like a standard node alias. It also means that we get access control "for free" since other modules like ACL already deal with general node access rights. This means that this module can focus more on directory listing features and not permissions or path aliasing.Permissions have also been expanded from the ones in 6.1 and 5 to edit/edit own, delete/delete own, and create for a more flexible permissions system from the get go.

This branch offers more features than the 6.1 branch and is suggested for all new users. The only bug known as of right now is that path aliasing using the clean URLs technique doesn't work. Hopefully I can find an easy way around this, but I think it'll be more trouble than it's worth.

Things to do:
#265357: Create upgrade path from 6.1
#265080: Add breadcrumbs showing directory path
#265082: Browsing subdirectories is now broken.
#236318: Move to private downloads
#255445: Support descript.ion files
#255446: Support file icons
