What
A path safety check now refuses a path when it cannot be fully resolved. This covers following a symlink (a file that points to another location) and expanding ~ (shorthand for your home folder). Before, only the existing refusal cases applied.
Why
A path whose real destination is unclear is refused instead of being used as if it were safe.
