Version 1.36

------------

Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock

requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with

mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for

requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting

case sensitive is the default).



Version 1.35

------------

Add writepage performance improvements.  Fix path name conversions

 nomapchars     Do not translate any of these seven characters (default).

 nocase         Request case insensitive path name matching (case

		sensitive is the default if the server suports it).

 nobrl          Do not send byte range lock requests to the server.

		This is necessary for certain applications that break

		byte range locks).
