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.
The ACTION_SETDATE operation again changes both the file/directory creation date/time and the last modification date/time. Because some SMB servers will not return a valid modification date/time, the creation date/time will be substituted when directory entry information is converted into the appropriate AmigaDOS data structures. This is problematic if only the modification time/dated is updated by the ACTION_SETDATE operation because the change may appear not to "stick".
The SMB function which would be used to update both the modification and the creation time stamps did not take care to preserve the creation time stamp. This might have contributed to the ACTION_SETDATE operation not having a noticeable effect.
The debug code no longer uses FORMAT_DEF for converting AmigaDOS time stamp information into readable text, but uses FORMAT_DOS instead. This is an attempt to track down a hard to detect bug in the debug code which might be related to locale.library date conversion. Because the buffer size for the date and time information is limited, the locale settings might just produce too much text to fit into the buffers. But that's only a theory so far...
The functions which the debug code uses to prepare 64 bit integers and strings for display are now a bit more paranoid in watching the lengths of the resulting strings, reporting possible buffer overflows.
Went over all the debug output text format strings with a fine-toothed comb and actually found a few instances of the formatting parameters not being entirely correct.
The assert.c code makes a bit more of an effort to handle NULL strings for display.
The non-debug builds of smbfs now complain again if any of the debug parameters are being used.
Please keep in mind that this is still a development version and might surprise you (not necessarily in a good way).
Do not let me discourage you to build and test this version, although there will be some risks involved such as data corruption or loss of data.

Added DUMPSMBLEVEL option which controls how much raw data output is produced. By default (level 0) no raw data output is produced at all. Level 1 will print the contents of the command data area. Level 2 will print the raw data used by the respective commands, with any management/control information stripped off.
SMB packet decoder now ignores empty parameter/data and will not try to decode and display these.
SMB_COM_SEARCH decoding had the sources mixed up, decoding client->server traffic as server->client traffic and the other way round.
Decoding of the status field now works properly again in the non-"status32" case.
Signed quantities are now used as such, e.g. the server time zone.
The SMB_COM_READ/WRITE/READ_RAW/WRITE_RAW data is now printed in the scope it was intended for, e.g. the SMB_COM_WRITE_RAW data output begins at the indicated offset rather than at the padding bytes which may precede it.
Added server/client capability flags covered by "Implementing CIFS", but not by the Microsoft reference documentation.
The NetBIOS session header contents are now printed along with the SMB header information.
Added GPLv2 header text.
The SMB date/time, filetime and utime information is now converted into display format instead of just showing up as hexadecimal format numbers.
The end-of-file and allocation size values are now printed in decimal format in addition to hexadecimal format.
Time is now printed uniformly in hexadecimal format.
dword data is now printed as unsigned integer values.
Decoded error messages should be a bit more readable.
The decoder now handles all SMB commands which the smbfs file system uses, including the two subcommands of the SMB_COM_TRANSACTION2 command which are used (TRANS2_FIND_FIRST2 and TRANS2_FIND_NEXT2).
This is still very ugly and very complex code, but hopefully the next version will only be ugly...
