vNEXT, in progress
* Support wild cards in reverse mode via `--exclude-wildcard`
([#367](https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/pull/367)). Thanks @ekalin!
* Create `gocryptfs.diriv` files with 0440 permissions to make it easier to
share an encrypted folder via a network drive
([#387](https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/387)).
Note: as a security precaution, the owner must still manually
`chmod gocryptfs.conf 0440` to allow mounting.
v1.7, 2019-03-17
* **Fix possible symlink race attacks in forward mode** when using allow_other + plaintextnames
