Added more diagnostic output and debug functionality, e.g. regarding how many directory caches are currently being used.
Long name directory scanning is a bit more paranoid when retrying a scan operation which might have been triggered by the server connection getting dropped.
Added the new READONLY option (why stop at 47 options when you can have 48?) which makes the file system read-only by default and does not require you to use the "Lock" shell command to achieve the same effect. Note that the shell "Lock" command cannot be used to turn the read-only mode off again.
Added support for the smb:// URI scheme, which means that instead of using "smbfs username=barney password=secret domain=workgroup //nas:445/share" you can now use "smbfs smb://workgroup;barney:secret@nas:445/share" instead. It is a bit shorter than the alternative and has an advantage in allowing you to reuse smb:// URLs which you know work well on other systems.
The ACTION_CREATE_DIR, ACTION_DELETE_OBJECT, ACTION_FINDOUTPUT, ACTION_RENAME_OBJECT, ACTION_SET_DATE, ACTION_SET_FILE_SIZE, ACTION_SET_PROTECT and ACTION_WRITE operations now set use more appropriate error codes instead of always translating an unspecific "access denied" error into "ERROR_READ_PROTECTED". For example, for ACTION_DELETE_OBJECT the new translation of "access denied" will be "ERROR_DELETE_PROTECTED".
Added the ErrorOutput option, which can be either "stderr" (default) or "stdout". Its purpose is to allow error messages written by smbfs to be redirected to a file, which will not work for AmigaDOS shell versions 36-40 if smbfs uses "stderr". Use ErrorOutput=stdout to be able to redirect all smbfs output, including any error messages, to a file.
Updated the copyright text.
Output to console or log files is now line-buffered.
Added const qualifiers to the parameters used by the functions in "crypt.c". This in turn revealed that the smb_encrypt() function did not in fact modify the password string passed to it, which allowed the smb_proc_reconnect() function in "proc.c" to be simplified.
Augmented the file handle, file lock and SMB file access operations with splay trees to improve performance for validation and lookup. Instead of having to walk the entire list of file, lock or SMB file entries, comparing the list entries by name or address, the entire process should have to check 1-5 entries only.
This splay tree functionality is a compile time option which has to be enabled in the "splay.h" header file.
If there is a port number given as part of the share name which is out of range, smbfs now reports this as a specific error rather than just stating that the service is not valid.
Replaced duplicate code in "smb_abstraction.c" which built path names from a parent directory name and a file/directory name with a single common solution.
Revised the build makefiles to create the standard smbfs variant rather than the one with full debugging support enabled. The AmigaOS4 variant specifically avoids using cross-compilation options which would have to be enabled first, if needed.
