Release Notes

General

Update build process to use Xcode 26.0.1 (macOS 26.0 SDK)
Update Installer package to use absolute paths when invoking command line tools in the postinstall script
Drop compatibility code for macOS 11 and earlier. macFUSE 5 supports macOS 12 through macOS 26.
Fix license file formatting. On macOS 26, QuickLook fails to render lists correctly if they are placed inside table cells in rich text documents.

Kernel Extension (Kernel Backend)

Update kernel extension to version 5.0.7
Preserve a vnode’s identity when marking it as dangling. Resetting the identity causes the fchmod(2) system call to fail. This addresses macfuse/macfuse#1112.
Resolve symbolic links in the kernel extension path before attempting to load the kernel extension

`FSModule` (`FSKit` Backend)

Improve support for macOS 26. FSClient now provides information about installed third party file system extensions, enabling more reliable detection of whether a file system extension has been enabled by the user.
Add support for creating a mount point in /Volumes automatically when mounting a volume
Introduce foundational changes in preparation for new FSKit features in macFUSE 5.1

`libfuse3`

Replace typeof with the __typeof__ builtin in headers. The typeof keyword is part of the C23 ISO standard, but is not officially supported in older C ISO standards.
