What is new in afpfs-ng-0.9.1, December 7, 2025

FUSE Client Improvements

• Support for FUSE 3.0+ on Linux and FreeBSD, and macFUSE on macOS, while maintaining compatibility with FUSE 2.9.9.
• Implemented FUSE commands for create, flush, chown, truncate, and rename.
• Enabled multi-threaded FUSE operation handling for better performance and stability, while introducing better thread safety across the board.
• Volume name labels and proper volume creation time support in macFUSE.
• On FreeBSD, afpfsd can now be started on the fly by the mount_afpfs tool.
• Numerous bug fixes and stability improvements.

afpcmd Client Improvements

• Introduced a new copy (cp) command for file transfers on the AFP volume.
• Shored up error handling for the cd, mv, put, and touch commands.
• Now mapping error codes to human-readable strings for better user feedback.
• Fixed bug with 8-char passwords when using Cleartxt Password UAM.

Meson Build System Enhancements

• Support for libedit alongside readline for afpcmd builds, commonly used on Alpine Linux and elsewhere.
• Always build afpgetstatus tool even without ncurses/readline.
• Fail the build if neither afpcmd nor the FUSE client can be built.

Miscellaneous Improvements

• Introduced stylistic coding standards for C, Meson, Markdown, YAML, and shell script code. The new codefmt.sh script can be used to automatically format code.
