Good evening!

For your consideration - we need FEEDBACK, please!

New is:
- 3rd Spring-Release
- Improved Windows Extended Attribute (EA) support
- Sparse file support (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_file) for
HPC environments
- Symlink conversion, to make Windows symlinks exchangeable with other
NFS clients on other platforms
- Windows Server 2019 NFSv4.1 nfsd, Windows Server 2022 NFSv4.1 nfsd,
Solaris 11.4 NFSv4.1 nfsd and Illumos NFSv4.2 nfsd support
- Better WSL (Windows Services for Linux) support
- MSYS2 support
- TMPDIR/TMP/TEMP env variables can now point to a NFS filesystem
- Windows Storage32 API support, required for using MSI installer
files on NFS mounts
- Support for languages with wide characters (Japanese, Chinese,
Hindi, French...) in nfs://-URLs
- Display mount points with wide-characters in nfs_mount.exe correctly

Ced

P.S.: Thanks go to Roland Mainz&Tigran Mkrtchyan&DESY.de for the
ms-nfs41-client work, Corinna Vinschen for adding sparse file support
in Cygwin 3.5, and many others who helped with development and testing

Hi!

----

We've created a set of test binaries for the NFSv4.2/NFSv4.1
filesystem client driver for Windows 10 (32+64bit), Windows 11+Windows
Server 2019/2022 (64bit), based on
https://github.com/kofemann/ms-nfs41-client (commit id
#8341f0bf274261312b76573fa713153e24564347, git bundle in tarball), for
testing and feedback.

** FULL release readme:
- http://www.nrubsig.org/people/gisburn/work/msnfs41client/releases/testing/msnfs41client_cygwin_64bit32bit_binaries_20250414_11h31m_git8341f0b.readme

** Major changes since the last release:
- TMPDIR/TMP/TEMP env variables can now point to a NFS filesystem
- NFSv4.2 support, including protocol minor version autonegotiation
- Sparse file support (requires NFSv4.2 server { SEEK, ALLOCATE,
DEALLOCATE } and the |FATTR4_WORD1_SPACE_USED| attr), including
hole/data range enumeration, punching holes etc., e.g. $ fsutil sparse
queryrange mysparsefile #
- Improved Windows Extended Attribute (EA) support (requires NFS >=
v4.1 server with "Named Attribute" support ("OPENATTR")), including
create/read/write/delete
- Improved WSL support
- Support for Storage32-API (e.g. enables use of *.msi installer files
on NFS filesystems)
- Cygwin /usr/bin/svn and Windows '/cygdrive/c/Program
Files/Git/cmd/git' now work
- Illumos NFSv4.2 server is now supported
- Solaris 11.4 NFSv4.1 server is now supported
- Windows Server 2022 NFSv4.1 server is now supported (compared to
WS2019 this NFS server version has ACL support)
- testing: cthon04 was updated to the newest version, new tests for
sparse files etc., new tests for symlinks etc.
