The marquee feature for this release is arguably that WeiDU-Linux no longer requires a case-insensitive file system, or tolower. I extend my thanks to dark0dave for providing crucial assistance in making this happen. However, not all mods can be installed on case-sensitive Linux at the moment. This notably include mods that make use of AT_NOW and related actions. The commands run by these actions need to be case-exact, to the extent they perform I/O, and without the EXACT keyword, WeiDU-Linux lower-cases the command. In my judgement, this is the best path forward, as EXACT exists for those who do not want their command lower-cased. If anyone wants to request a feature that would make allow them to drop their use of AT_NOW, and avoid these kinds of problems that way, feel free to do so.
