Changelog
-- Add ability to set arbitrary folder paths to monitor for mount events.
-- Add ability to monitor gvfs mount events.
-- Fix a bug that prevented unlocking volumes with a path that contains "," character. 
    The bug was due to fuse using the character as an option separator.
-- Fix a bug that prevented recent versions of unlocked securefs from showing up
    in the GUI in MACOS.
-- Add a GUI option to "allow replaced file system" when creating/unlocking CryFS volume.
-- Set the option "--allow-replaced-filesystem" by default when creating a CryFS volume.
-- When dealing with CryFs volume in windows, do not support paths that are not in drive C
    to work around this bug: https://github.com/cryfs/cryfs/issues/319
-- Fix a breaking change in how fscrypt 0.2.7 reported its version info.

-- Assume passwords are utf8 encoded instead of latin-1. This is a breaking change 
   for those who were using a password that was not a valid latin-1 password.
-- Fix a crash on windows when an sshfs favorite entry is created with a remote 
   folder path of just ":/", example is a remote address of "abc@example:/".

   when connecting to ssh server on windows.
-- Inforce a requirenment that says Sshfs-win should be atleast version 3.4.0.

   locking directories that use V2 encryption policies.

-- Add support for fscrypt backend. This backend will allow encrypting individual
   folders that reside in a file system that supports native encryption like ext4. 
   More info about this backend is here: https://github.com/google/fscrypt
-- Fix a bug with sshfs backend introduced in 1.4.0.
-- Various changes and improvements.

Notes on Fscrypt
SiriKali locks fscrypt encrypted directories using "--drop-caches=false"
option. More explanation about this option is here[1]. It is strongly advised to
unmount a file system after locking an encrypted directory.

Currently, fscrypt does not lock an unlocked directory but locks a file system that
hosts the unlocked directory. A recently locked directory on a file system that was not
umounted after the locking took place will probably leak a good amount of folder
content and this is why it is strongly advised to unmount a file system after a directory
is locked.

Fscrypt will work "as expected" when this[2] pull request is accepted and the version
of the kernel in use is >= 5.4
