Awesome!

I take it that since sshfs is included here and it overrides the
/usr/local/bin/sshfs installed by MacFUSE that applications like
Macfusion will work under Fuse4X?

> Fuse4X is a library that implements Fuse API and allows to create
> custom filesystems easily. Fuse4X sourcecode is based on MacFUSE.
> Unfortunately MacFUSE project is abandoned despite its usefulness.
> Fuse4X attempts to unblock macfuse development.

>
> Q: Where I can find Fuse4X sources?
> A: You can find it at the project github page
> http://github.com/fuse4xUse it, fork it, hack it, contribute to it.
>
> Q: Is Fuse4X a drop-in replacement for MacFUSE?
> A: Fuse4X is not a drop-in replacement. It does not override any of
> the MacFUSE run-time files, Fuse4X and MacFUSE may coexist together.
> If you want to move your application from macfuse to fuse4x - you need
> to recompile it.
>
> Q: What are the difference between MacFUSE and Fuse4X 0.8.5?
> A: Fuse4X is based on the latest MacFUSE release plus patches from
> Tuxera and Benjamin Fleischer with following additions:
> - Fuse4X much more compatible with upstream Fuse version.
> Compatibility with the original libfuse has the highest importance for
> Fuse4X developers.
> - Upgraded libfuse API to the latest release (2.8.5).
> - Implemented asynchronous FUSE_INIT to match upstream behavior.
> - Remove hack that ignores SIGCHLD signal. It allows Fuse4X to work in
> multi-threaded applications (macfuse does not work).
> - MacFUSE fuse_darwin.h injects its own semaphores implementation
> based on libsem. Changing this core darwin functionality may bring a
> lot of troubles to developers. Fuse4X removes libsem and uses named
> semaphores instead.
> - Spring code cleanup. A lot of ugly and obsolete code has been removed.
> - Reimplement the build system and break sources into submodules.
> Building separate modules or whole output package is much more simpler
> now.
> - Speedup, fuse_mount() operation has been made many times faster.
> - Rebranding from macfuse to fuse4x to avoid problems with Google.
>
>
> Q: What is the project license?
> A: The same as for MacFUSE - LGPL for libfuse, BSD for other submodules.
