The formerly used + header `attr/xattr.h` has been removed from the `attr` library in + version 2.4.48. Fix provided by Lars Wendler, many thanks! +* Release the GIL when performing I/O. Patch proposed by xwhuang, many + thanks. I tested this a long while back it seemed to impact + performance on local filesystems, but upon further inspection, the + downsides are minor (between 0 and 5%, in many cases negligible). For + remote or slow filesystems, this should allow much increased + parallelism. +* Fix symlink set operation on MacOS X; bugfix provided by adamlin, much + appreciated! This also uncovered testing problems related to symlinks, + which are now fixed (the bug would be caught by the updated tests). Version 0.6.0 ------------- -- 2.39.2
