What's new in this version:

Improve compatibility with macOS 15:
- On macOS 15, Archive Utility produces empty archives when archiving directories, unless readdir(3) returns the file type for each directory entry
- In oder to address this compatibility issue, macFUSE.framework queries the attributes of each directory entry returned by the file system delegate. This change is transparent to existing file systems.

- Use macOS 14.5 SDK instead of macOS 14.4 SDK to build macOS 14 kernel extension
