Shumaker, Yifan Zhao, Hongzhen Luo and Tianyi Liu). It has been long time since the last release, mainly due to several new major features and limited incremental builds. However, it'd be better not to hold it off any longer, as users have asked for multi-threaded mkfs support. In the future erofs-utils versions, we are going to improve incremental builds, support multi-threaded mkfs for fragments and compressed data deduplication, multi-threaded fsck/extraction as well as more remote storage (e.g. HTTP, S3 and OCI registries), stabilize liberofs APIs for 3rd-party applications and eventually find a way to integrate a Rust version [1]. Also see [2]. Feedback and contribution, as always, are welcomed. [1] https://github.com/ToolmanP/erofs-rs [2] https://erofs.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/roadmap.html Thanks, Gao Xiang
