Good morning!

For your consideration - we need FEEDBACK, please!

New is:
- 4th Spring-Release
- Better, DocBook/XML-based docs
- Improved /sbin/cygwinaccount2nfs4account script to better handle
creation of Windows Domain accounts on the NFS server side
- Better compatibility if Microsoft Defender Antivirus is running in
paranoid mode
- 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

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
#e79b93ac7ad74392640018b3a2ca3e74f5050499, git bundle in tarball), for
testing and feedback.

** Major changes since the last release:
- Improved /sbin/cygwinaccount2nfs4account script to better handle
creation of Windows Domain accounts on the NFS server side
- Various documentation+READMEs converted into a single DocBook/XML
documentation
- *.(exe|dll) executables are now signed with a WDK test signature,
helping with *rare* cases that Windows Defender with paranoid settings
wrongly recognising the binaries as potential threads. A *.cer
certificate file is supplied which can be imported into the Windows
Defender to whitelist the binaries if this happens.
- Support for FSCTL_DUPLICATE_EXTENTS_TO_FILE, which allows Windows 11
applications which use |CopyFile2()| (like cmd.exe  copy, xcopy.exe
etc) to copy files via block cloning. Requires NFSv4.2 NFS server with
{ CLONE, SEEK, DEALLOCATE } support, exporting a filesystem which
supports block cloning (e.g. btrfs, xfs). This includes correct
cloning of sparse files.
- 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)
