Therefore, GVFS 1.19.3 adds support pull support and implements try_query_fs_info using the OpenSSH statvfs extension in the SFTP protocol. It supports seek past end of file for the HTTP protocol, and sets the is_hidden property for all files that start with a ‘.’ on the DAV protocol. Moreover, support for output streams in several backends is now truncated, the libdaemon and libgvfscommon libraries are now converted into a private shared library, and Samba 3.4.0 is now a requirement for the SMB protocol.
