Hi all, OSXFUSE is ready for its first official release. You can download OSXFUSE 2.3.0 Beta from http://osxfuse.github.com/releases/OSXFUSE-2.3.dmg.
Some of the key features: OSXFUSE is based on Erik's/Tuxera's MacFUSE 2.1.9 release that has proven to be very stable. The first release follows a simple rule: Don't change anything code-wise unless it is absolutely necessary. Besides the addition of the MacFUSE compatibility layer there have been very few code changes to guarantee that OSXFUSE is as stable as MacFUSE. Supports 10.6 and 10.7 (32 bit and 64 bit Kernel). 10.5 support will be added alongside Power PC support in the next release. Check for updates in a week or two. Features a MacFUSE compatibility layer to support all existing MacFUSE file systems without the need to recompile them. OSXFUSE can be a drop-in replacement for MacFUSE. On a side note: MacFUSE's sshfs works great with OSXFUSE. The OSXFUSE installer includes three packages: OSXFUSE Core includes the user space library libosxfuse, OSXFUSE.framework and the kernel extension OSXFUSE Preference Pane is used as updater and uninstaller MacFUSE Compatibility Layer provides support for filesystems written for and compiled against MacFUSE The core package is mandatory but the preference pane and the MacFUSE compatibility layer are optional installs. Note: If you choose to install the MacFUSE compatibility layer MacFUSE will be uninstalled automatically. This includes the official builds of MacFUSE and Erik's unofficial builds. Your MacFUSE filesystems will not be removed and should continue to work. Building OSXFUSE: If you choose to build OSXFUSE yourself, you can find some build instructions in the OSXFUSE group (link at the end of the mail). Basically you need Xcode 4 (Snow Leopard) or 4.1 (Lion) and install the MacPorts port of "gettext". I recommend installing the git port, too. Xcode 4's bundled git is not up to date. Clone the repository like this: git clone git://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse.git cd osxfuse git submodule update --init To build run: OSXFUSE_PRIVATE_KEY=prefpane/autoinstaller/TestKeys/private_key.der ./build.sh -t dist You can find the resulting installer packages in your /tmp/osxfuse-2.3 directory. I will post a more detailed how-to in our GitHub Wiki. Those build instructions are bound to change over time. Especially bringing back support for 10.5 and Power PC will make this whole process a bit more complicated. Removing OSXFUSE: In case you want to remove OSXFUSE hit the "Remove OSXFUSE" button in the preference pane and afterwards remove the preference pane by right-clicking on it and selecting "Remove ...". OSXFUSE will then be completely purged from Mac. If you encounter any bugs please subscribe to the OSXFUSE Google group and post your findings. Everyone will benefit from this. It is impossible to test OSXFUSE with every MacFUSE filesystem that is around. Feedback is highly appreciated. I will setup a basic project website when I find some free time.
