I just released 2.28.0 which has a few significant changes. In Linux 4.20 there were a few features added that I now take advantage of. It can now cache symlinks and readdir (directory listing). When combined with increased `cache.attr` and `cache.entry`values the requerying of file and directory info can be drastically faster. Additionally, the new kernels allow increasing the max FUSE message size up to 1MB. This is an 8x increase from prior kernels and some basic `dd` benchmarks show over 200% increase in write performance in certain workloads. The value can be lowered (mostly useful for benchmarking) using the `fuse_msg_size` option.
For there were a bunch of other changes in 2.26 and 2.27. Please check out the changelogs for more.
