A [question on StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60130796/return-value-of-stdfilesystemcreate-directories-on-paths-with-trailing-sla)
was pointing at another corner case where the current implementations of
std::filesystem differ, it is about the handling of a trailing directory
seperator when calling `std::filesystem::create_directories()`.
Today I released [v1.3.0](https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem/releases/tag/v1.3.0) of
[`ghc::filesystem`](https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem), my implementation of C++17
[`std::filesystem`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/filesystem) for C++11, C++14 and C++17.
The main reasong for this release is the switch from BSD-3-Clause license to the MIT license.
I originally decided on BSD because of the detailed clauses it features, to make things clear, but it was not an easy decision at that time, but I had to pick one.
About a week ago I was asked if it would be possible to use MIT license and at first I was against a change, but I thought about it and decided a even ore liberal license would give more projects the chance to use it, so my only concern left was, if I would be able to reach all contributors and if they would agree to the license change.
I was amazed to see, all anserwed in just a few days and all agreed so they made the decision an easy one for me.
On this years [Meeting C++](https://meetingcpp.com/2019/) I had the chance to talk
with a lot of people and it was very inspirational. With some I talked about
[ghc::filesystem](https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem), my implementation of a
C++17 `std::filesystem` compatible library. Part of this discussions was about
some corner cases I found during my tests, and I was trying to remember the
details when I was having the chance to talk to [@NicoJosuttis](https://twitter.com/NicoJosuttis).
He among others was interested in these issues, as they might be rooted in unclear passages of the standard.
Today I released the bugfix release [v1.2.10](https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem/releases/tag/v1.2.10) of [`ghc::filesystem`](https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem), my implementation of C++17 [`std::filesystem`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/filesystem) for
C++11, C++14 and C++17. There were some issues, all on the Windows part, so it was time to fix them with
a release.
While at it, I updated the CI configuration files to add newer compilers and the set used for CI and tests is now:
During these days I'm on the [Meeting C++ 2019](https://meetingcpp.com/2019/) and so far it is a great event. This morning before leaving my hotel, I used the inspirational spirit and released v1.2.8 of [`ghc::filesystem`](https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem). This is mostly a bugfix release, but there is a new CMake option to select wether or
not an install target should be added to the build files.
Additionally, five pull requests found their way into this release, and I want to thank the supporters for their work.
