@ -12,6 +12,7 @@ Changes since v1.3:
* New sample file system "airfs" contributed by @JohnOberschelp. Airfs is an in-memory file system like Memfs on which it is based on; it has received substantial improvements in how the file name space is maintained and has been modified to use modern C++ techniques by John.
* New sample file system "passthrough-fuse3" passes all operations to an underlying file system. This file system is built using the FUSE3 API. It builds and runs on both Windows and Cygwin.
* The FUSE layer now supports multiple file systems within a single process. This is a long standing problem that has been fixed. (GitHub issue #135.)
* The FSD includes an experimental fix for a Windows problem: that case-sensitive file systems do not work properly when mounted as directories. See the relevant FAQ entry.
v1.4B2 (2018.2 B2)::

Case-sensitive file systems do not work properly when mounted as a directory.::
Windows and WinFsp support case-sensitive file systems. These file systems work properly when mounted as a drive. Unfortunately when a file system is mounted as a directory over NTFS, Windows expects it to be case-insensitive and will UPPERCASE many of the file names sent to the file system.
This is fixed as of WinFsp 2018.2 B3.

This is an unfortunate but well understood Windows limitation. Case-sensitive file systems should only be mounted as drives.

The core WinFsp layer always supported multiple file systems in the same process either simultaneously or one after another. However this was not the case with WinFsp-FUSE (i.e. the FUSE layer of WinFsp) prior to version 2018.2 B2. This limitation has been rectified as of WinFsp 2018 B2.
