Dear all,

I am pleased to announce the release of libfuse 3.18.1.

The source code is available for download at https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/releases.

Please report any issues on this mailing list or the GitHub issue
tracker at https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/issues.

From ChangeLog.rst:

• Fix a critical ABI issue compared to libfuse-3.17.3+
• Note: This breaks ABI compatibility to libfuse-3.18.0
  (given that 3.18.0 is out for 2 days only, probably the lesser evil)

Dear all,

I am pleased to announce the release of libfuse 3.17.1 (final).

The source code is available for download at https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/releases.

Please report any issues on this mailing list or the GitHub issue
tracker at https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/issues.

Release Notes:

First, we apologize for the extended time this release has taken. We wanted to ensure proper ABI compatibility and testing.

Major Changes:

ABI/API Versioning:
    API version remains at 3.x as the API is stable
    SO version increased from 3 to 4 due to ABI issues introduced in 3.11.0 and 3.14.2
    Restored ABI compatibility to 3.10 (fixing incompatibilities introduced in 3.11 and 3.14.2)
    Added automated ABI compatibility tests
    Note: Currently tests only verify against previous tag, not 3.10 yet due to too many false positives.
    Further improvements to the ABI testing are planned.
Version Encoding: The libfuse version is now encoded into programs at compile time using inlined functions in fuse_lowlevel.h and fuse.h
Switched to posix_spawn for better performance with memory-heavy applications and to prevent RDMA-related issues

New Features:

Added support for filesystem passthrough read/write when FUSE_PASSTHROUGH capability is enabled
    New API: fuse_passthrough_open() and fuse_passthrough_close()
    See example/passthrough_hp.cc for usage
Added fmask and dmask options to high-level API for separate permission masks for files and directories
Added signal handling with backtrace printing (fuse_set_fail_signal_handlers())
Added syslog support for fuse_log() messages
    New API: fuse_log_enable_syslog() and fuse_log_close_syslog()
Added thread names to libfuse threads
Fixed buffer misalignment for FUSE_WRITE
