Thatâs pretty vague.
Would you care to list some specific expected improvements from this change? Are there known problem scenarios in the current world which we can test both ways, which should behave differently under the new DLL?
For instance, does it fix the well-known problem with chmod 600 ~/.ssh/* resulting in mode 660 until you kick the ACLs around a bit?
