Known Issues

• The directory cache is somewhat flawed and does not properly invalidate child entries. This means that e.g. renaming a directory might leave behind entries in a limbo state. Another problem is that a possible change of a RAR file might not resolve new files properly due to stale cache entries. The problem with the directory cache was unfortunately discovered after the release of v1.28.0 but has been present since the cache was introduced. Work has begun in order to solve this issue but there is currently no ETA when a fix might be available. Also see issue #122 and isssue #124.
