THIS IS A PRE-RELEASE

  • This pre-release contains kernel-mode changes. While every precaution has been taken to ensure stability, it is recommended that this pre-release is only installed by developers and/or power users.
  • This pre-release includes signed drivers for Windows 7, 8, 10, but not Server 2016.

CHANGES SINCE 2017.2

  • Multiple Launcher changes:
    • New FspLaunch API. File systems can be started, stopped, queried and listed using FspLaunchStart, FspLaunchStop, FspLaunchGetInfo and FspLaunchGetNameList.
    • New Launcher registry settings RunAs and WorkDirectory. RunAs allows the laucher to launch a file system process under the service accounts LocalService and NetworkService. WorkDirectory can be used to specify the work directory for a newly launched file system process.
  • The MEMFS sample file systems are now launched under the LocalService account.
  • The FSD (File System Driver) and its interaction with the Windows MUP (Multiple UNC Provider) has been changed. In practice this eliminates the delays experienced when right-clicking on a WinFsp-backed network drive in the Windows Explorer. (GitHub issue #87.)
  • The WinFsp network provider is now added first in the provider order list. Previously it was added last. (GitHub PR #131; thanks @felfert.)
  • The WinFsp installer now uses the Wix Provides dependency extension to provide a WinFsp dependency key. (GitHub PR #129; thanks @felfert.)
