Good Day,
This release includes security, unprivileged mount, POSIX compliance
and many other minor fixes.
Major changes:
* Fix: the file system depth was limited to 4095 characters by FUSE
and trying to access files and directories deeper gave "No such file
or directory" error. If NTFS-3G is compiled with an external FUSE
library (non-default), then FUSE CVS is needed until FUSE 2.8.0 is
released.
* Fix: symlink(2) failed or the size was truncated at modulo 256 if the
old path was over 255 bytes.
* Fix: unprivileged mount may have been denied because supplementary
groups were dropped permanently too early as a security measure.
* Fix: unprivileged mount may have been denied if the /etc/fuse.conf
file wasn't properly configured. This was redundant and the
/etc/fuse.conf file is not required anymore.
* Fix: updating hard link attributes was delayed by one second which
resulted seeing their file sizes and timestamps incorrectly during
this time interval.
* Fix: the 'noatime' mount option additionally and unconditionally was
passed to FUSE.
The stable NTFS-3G driver can be downloaded from

We have also released the Linux port of Pawel Jakub Dawidek's POSIX file
system test suite and recently updated it according to the initial
feedbacks:
