0.9.1

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

1. 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.

2. 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.

The dir/ls command now takes an optional dir to list instead of the current directory.

3. 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.

4. 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.

Fix all security and reliability bugs reported by SonarQube static analysis.

Now also compiling and running on NetBSD (FUSE only) and OpenBSD (afpcmd only).

0.9.0

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

1. FUSE client improvements

Support for FUSE 2.99 on Linux, and macFUSE on macOS.

Shore up error handling and memory synchronization to avoid deadlocks.

macOS AFP client.

amongst other patches contributed by R.J.V. Bertin.

2. 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.

3. 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Autotools has been replaced by Meson.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.

4. Code quality

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