What is new in afpfs-ng-0.9.0, February 9, 2025

FUSE Client Improvements

• Support for FUSE 2.99 on Linux, and macFUSE on macOS.
• Shore up error handling and memory synchronization to avoid deadlocks.
• Rename mount_afp to mount_afpfs to avoid name conflict with the native macOS AFP client.
• The ability to pass mount options to FUSE with -O is now supported, amongst other patches contributed by R.J.V. Bertin.

afpgetstatus Improvements

• Support for IPv6 addresses. Print much more information on the AFP server.
• Introduce a -i flag to print the server’s icon and icon mask.

Meson Build System

• Autotools has been replaced by Meson. Configure and builds are much faster. Extra debug output is now controlled at compile time with -Dbuildtype=debug. If you want to build without debug output, use -Dbuildtype=release.

Code Quality

• Consolidation and refactoring of the code. Numerous bug fixes.
• Code compiles cleanly without warnings on supported platforms now.
