-
Fix a bug where
createFileLinkandcreateDirectoryLinkfailed to handle..in absolute paths. -
Improve support (partially) for paths longer than 260 characters on Windows. To achieve this, many functions will now automatically prepend
\\?\before calling the Windows API. As a side effect, the\\?\prefix may show up in the error messages of the affected functions. -
makeAbsolutecan now handle drive-relative paths on Windows such asC:foobar
-
findFile(and similar functions): when an absolute path is given, the list of search directories is now completely ignored. Previously, if the list was empty,findFilewould always fail. (#72) -
For symbolic links on Windows, the following functions had previously interpreted paths as referring to the links themselves rather than their targets. This was inconsistent with other platforms and has been fixed.
getFileSizedoesPathExistdoesDirectoryExistdoesFileExist
-
Fix incorrect location info in errors from
pathIsSymbolicLink. -
Add functions for symbolic link manipulation:
createFileLinkcreateDirectoryLinkremoveDirectoryLinkgetSymbolicLinkTarget
-
canonicalizePathcan now resolve broken symbolic links too. (#64)

canonicalizePath(#63) -
[deprecation] Rename
isSymbolicLinktopathIsSymbolicLink. The old name will remain available but may be removed in the next major release. (#52) -
Changed
canonicalizePathto dereference symbolic links even if it points to a file and is not the last path segment -
On Windows,
canonicalizePathnow canonicalizes the letter case too -
On Windows,
canonicalizePathnow also dereferences symbolic links -
When exceptions are thrown, the error location will now contain additional information about the internal function(s) used.
- Don't abort
removePathForciblyif files or directories go missing. In addition, keep going even if an exception occurs. (#60)
