amiga-smbfs 2.22

About four months of work, with bug fixes and enhancements, went into this release -- in spring 2019. I did not expect to leave the project in "hibernation" for four years, but this is so far the best I could achieve.

This release rolls back the changes contributed by Tygre in version 2.23, which implemented a workaround for dealing with directory and file names which made use of Unicode codepoints that could not be represented on the Amiga using the ISO 8859-1 character set. Tagged as amiga-smbfs 2.23, it was intended as a test in preparation for integrating Tygre's changes. Sadly, the time to polish this feature never arrived and in the mean time there was no robust amiga-smbfs version to use instead. The amiga-smbfs 2.22 release intends to correct this, for the time being.

More work and research is needed to bring back Tygre's changes.

amiga-smbfs 2.1

This is the first new major release of the file system, which in the previous two years has been thoroughly rewritten to provide for better compatibility and to follow the available SMBv1/CIFS specification where possible.

New features include (but are not limited to) support for Unicode, large files (> 4 GB) and reconnecting to the server if a connection has broken down/timed out.
