This beta has some important bug fixes regarding graceful reconnect, NetWare 5 interoperability, proper URL decoding, unnecessary AuthExceptions accessing IPC$, and improved Windows 98 support.
Despite the beta flag, the highly-requested listFiles methods have been
implemented. Wildcard expressions can now be used to filter directory
listings.
A serious bug has been fixed that caused the exists method (and the several methods that call it) to return erroneous results. There have also been numerous other smaller bugfixes.
Major refactoring and cleanups were added. A deadlock in the last release was fixed. Enumeration of remote workgroups/domains was enabled, a new fast buffer usage strategy was implemented, an object sink was plugged, and a fast new SMB crawler example was implemented.
The SmbException class is now public, an AuthHandler interface has been added, and major refactoring of top-level glue, smarter logic, and buffer caching has resulted in performance improvements of 100% in some cases.
