What's new in this version:

General:
- Update build process to use Xcode 26.0.1 (macOS 26.0 SDK)
- Update Installer package to use absolute paths when invoking command line tools in the postinstall script
- Replace typeof with the __typeof__ builtin in libfuse3 headers. The typeof keyword is part of the C23 ISO standard, but is not officially supported in older C ISO standards.
- Drop compatibility code for macOS 11 and earlier. macFUSE 5 supports macOS 12 through macOS 26.
- Fix license file formatting. On macOS 26, QuickLook fails to render lists correctly if they are placed inside table cells in rich text documents.

Kernel Backend:
- Preserve a vnode's identity when marking it as dangling. Resetting the identity causes the fchmod(2) system call to fail.
- Resolve symbolic links in the kernel extension path before attempting to load the kernel extension

FSKit Backend:
- Improve support for macOS 26. FSClient now provides information about installed third party file system extensions, enabling more reliable detection of whether a file system extension has been enabled by the user
- Add support for creating a mount point in /Volumes automatically when mounting a volume
- Introduce foundational changes in preparation for new FSKit features in macFUSE 5.1
