osxfuse / osxfuse

Fix a bug in macFUSE.framework that can result in volumes falsely claiming to support renamex_np(2) (VOL_CAP_INT_RENAME_SWAP and VOL_CAP_INT_RENAME_EXCL) even though support for the file system feature has not been enabled. File systems that are based on libfuse are not affected by the issue.

Fix an upstream bug in libfuse 2.9.9, that can result in readdir(2) returning EIO. See #729 for details.

The license has changed. Starting with the 4.0.0 release, redistributions bundled with commercial software are not allowed without specific prior written permission. This includes the automated download or installation in the context of commercial software. Please contact Benjamin Fleischer.

Fix kernel extension ambiguity on macOS 11. The kernel extension version number now contains the version of the kernel that the particular extension was built for.

Remove KextManagerLoadKextWithURL() workaround, that was introduced in version 3.11.1. The issue has been resolved in macOS 11.0.1.

The license has changed. Starting with the 4.0.0 release, redistributions bundled with commercial software are not allowed without specific prior written permission. This includes the automated download or installation in the context of commercial software. Please contact Benjamin Fleischer.

Force installation of preference pane if a legacy version of the preference pane is currently installed.

Enable dark mode support for preference pane on macOS 10.14 and macOS 10.15. See #550 for details.

Fix English localization of installer. See #737 for details.

Fix a bug that resulted in the preinstall and postinstall scripts missing from the installer package. The preinstall script is responsible for removing legacy versions of the package before installing the new release. See #736 for details.

Fix a bug that resulted in some Info.plist placeholders not being resolved at build-time for macfuse.fs.

Fix bug in the uninstaller (preference pane) that resulted in not all components being removed.

FUSE for macOS is now macFUSE.

Add support for Apple Silicon. The new release supports macOS 10.9 to macOS 11 (Intel and Apple Silicon).

Drop binary compatiblity with Google MacFUSE. The Google MacFUSE project was abandoned in 2009. Legacy file systems need to be recompiled for the new macFUSE release.

The user space library and framework have been renamed to reflect the name change and can now be found at /usr/local/lib/libfuse.2.dylib (headers in /usr/local/include/) and /Library/Frameworks/macFUSE.framework.

Add support for renamex_np(2) on macOS 10.12 and later (VOL_CAP_INT_RENAME_SWAP and VOL_CAP_INT_RENAME_EXCL).

Add new callbacks to libfuse

void renamex(fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t parent, const char *name, fuse_ino_t newparent, const char *newname, unsigned int flags);
int renamex(const char *from, const char *to, unsigned int flags);

Add new callback to macFUSE.framework

typedef NS_OPTIONS(NSUInteger, GMUserFileSystemMoveOption) {
    GMUserFileSystemMoveOptionSwap      = 1 << 0,
    GMUserFileSystemMoveOptionExclusive = 1 << 1
};

- (BOOL)moveItemAtPath:(NSString *)source toPath:(NSString *)destination options:(GMUserFileSystemMoveOption)options error:(NSError **)error;

Drop support for exchangedata(2) on macOS 11 (VOL_CAP_INT_EXCHANGEDATA).

Add support for renaming mounted volumes (VOL_CAP_INT_VOL_RENAME).

Add new callbacks to libfuse

void setvolname(fuse_req_t req, const char *name);
int setvolname(const char *name);

Add new callback to macFUSE.framework

- (BOOL)setAttributes:(NSDictionary *)attributes ofFileSystemAtPath:(NSString *)path error:(NSError **)error;

Clean up libfuse

• Use DiskArbitration for unmounting volumes.
• Remove deprecated non-portable function.

Add support for volume UUIDs (f_uuid). For each volume a UUID is generated at mount-time.

Drop support for deprecated "old style" mount process. Opening a /dev/macfuse device and passing the file descriptor to mount_macfuse is no longer supported ("old style"). mount_macfuse passes the file descriptor to the calling library over a socket ("new style", introduced in version 3.3.0).

Version the mount_macfuse socket interface used for returning the /dev/macfuse file descriptor to the calling library. When setting the environment variable _FUSE_COMMVERS to 2, the mount tool will pass the status of the mount(2) call back to the calling library over the _FUSE_COMMFD socket, before exiting.

Rename mount_macfuse environment variables _FUSE_CALL_BY_LIB (before MOUNT_OSXFUSE_CALL_BY_LIB) and _FUSE_DAEMON_PATH (before MOUNT_OSXFUSE_DAEMON_PATH).

Drop support for legacy ioctls FUSEDEVIOCGETHANDSHAKECOMPLETE (use _FUSE_COMMVERS=2 instead) and FUSEDEVIOCALTERVNODEFORINODE (use notification API instead).
