# Release X.Y (202?-??-??)
|
|
|
|
* A new function `builtins.readFileType` is available. It is similar to
|
|
`builtins.readDir` but acts on a single file or directory.
|
|
|
|
* The `builtins.readDir` function has been optimized when encountering not-yet-known
|
|
file types from POSIX's `readdir`. In such cases the type of each file is/was
|
|
discovered by making multiple syscalls. This change makes these operations
|
|
lazy such that these lookups will only be performed if the attribute is used.
|
|
This optimization affects a minority of filesystems and operating systems.
