Affected users

This release affects users who apply downstream patches to System.FilePath.Internal, since System.FilePath.Posix and System.FilePath.Windows are now generated via make cpp during development.

To make your patch apply, either apply it to System.FilePath.Posix and System.FilePath.Windows instead or run make cpp after applying your patch.
