 New version nfse-20100507 was released.
 
 Important changes:
 
     * Now there is no any limitation on file system's mount point directory
       renaming, original file system's mount point directory can be renamed
       and the NFSE code will work.  This is new implementation that does
       not use f_mntonname values from the struct statfs{}.
 
     * Now signals and a socket for control commands in nfse are handled
       in kqueue(2).
 
     * Now NFSE code verifies whether a file system supports NFS exports.
 
     * Now NFSE code does not allow symlinks in pathnames in nfs.exports(5).
 
     * Now when a file system mounted or unmounted on the local system
       NFSE code also checks whether NFSv4 root directory still can be
       exported.
