Release Notes

TOSC
By default in Windows since XP/2003, if a folder is shared to the network via SMB,
so-called "caching" is turned on. This actually means that the Offline Files service
on other machines accessing the share, are allowed to retrieve and store copies of
files and folders on the machine acting as server. Turning this off for all shares
gives a speed bump for the server machine, and also improves reliability overall,
dependence on Offline Files can lead to all sorts of issues including data loss
when the server is not available or suddenly becomes available et cetera. TOSC does
this turning off very well, for all file shares extant on the machine on which
it is run.
