Today I released v1.3.8 of ghc::filesystem , my implementation of C++17 std::filesystem for C++11, C++14 and C++17.

This release fixes the dynamic std::filesystem switching helpers to respect the macOS deployment target, an issue with skip_permission_denied on SIP protected folders on macOS, and the handling of NTFS reparse points to mapped volumes.

The full list of changes in v1.3.8:

• Refactoring for #78 , the dynamic switching helper includes are now using __MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED to ensure that std::filesystem is only selected on macOS if the deployment target is at least Catalina.
• Bugfix for #77 , the directory_iterator and the recursive_directory_iterator had an issue with the skip_permission_denied option, that leads to the inability to skip SIP protected folders on macOS.
• Enhancement for #76 , _MSVC_LANG is now used when available, additionally to __cplusplus, in the helping headers to allow them to work even when /Zc:__cplusplus is not used.
• Bugfix for #75 , NTFS reparse points to mapped volumes where handled incorrect, leading to false on fs::exists or not-found-errors on fs::status. Namespaced paths are not filtered anymore.

I want to thank all contributors for their support!
