Hello,
Following the current software industry trend, hereby we're happy to
officially leak the regular maintenance release which includes the support
for the long awaited unmount fix for unprivileged users and minor but
important reliability fixes for very rarely occuring scenarios.
We would like to warn everybody that contrary to the other leaking software
releases, this one is not an alpha but should be a boring, stable release!
Major changes in this release:
* fix: file rename may updated the modification time of some files
which caused some backup tools, like rsync, not to preserve always
this timestamp.
* fix: unmount (fusermount -u) was denied for an unprivileged user who
was allowed to mount a block device. FUSE 2.7.0+ user space package
is required for the full fix.
* fix: the driver could hang if there wasn't enough memory during
reading a large directory
* fix: reading a directory may reported success when there was an error
* fix: metadata update error was ignored in some very rare cases during
writing a file
* fix: permissions checking was turned on if umask, fmask and dmask was
set to the default 000 value.
* change: manual update, added Windows filename compatibility section
* change: lots of logging improvements
The source package can be downloaded from
