Version 2.0

  • New: The public key of AlphaFS.dll has changed, delay-signing is no longer used.
  • New: Unit Tests, also act as code samples.
  • New: Numerous bugfixes, optimizations and (AlphaFS) overloaded methods implementations.
  • New: Complete implementation of .NET 4.5 File(Info) and Directory(Info) classes.
  • New: Complete implementation of .NET 4.5 DriveInfo() class and with UNC support.
  • New: Complete implementation of .NET 4.5 Path() class.
  • New: Implemented Unicode aka "Long Path" handling for all Win32 API functions that support it.
  • New: Added support for NuGet.
  • New: Added support for building against .NET 4.0, 4.5, and 4.5.1 in addition to 3.5.
