Announcing macFUSE 4.0.0 Posted on 30 Oct 2020
Release Notes
-
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_SWAPandVOL_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

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/macfusedevice and passing the file descriptor tomount_macfuseis no longer supported (“old style”).mount_macfusepasses the file descriptor to the calling library over a socket (“new style”, introduced in version 3.3.0). -
Version the
mount_macfusesocket interface used for returning the/dev/macfusefile descriptor to the calling library. When setting the environment variable_FUSE_COMMVERSto2, the mount tool will pass the status of themount(2)call back to the calling library over the_FUSE_COMMFDsocket, before exiting. -
Rename
mount_macfuseenvironment variables_FUSE_CALL_BY_LIB(beforeMOUNT_OSXFUSE_CALL_BY_LIB) and_FUSE_DAEMON_PATH(beforeMOUNT_OSXFUSE_DAEMON_PATH). -
