What's new in this version:

General:
- Update build process to use Xcode 26.4 (macOS 26.4 SDK)
- Introduce a new open source API for mounting volumes using the FSKit backend. The new API enables fully sandboxed file systems, which was not previously possible.
- The actual mount operation is performed over XPC. This means the FSKit backend does no longer rely on fork()/exec() to mount volumes.
- The new API is already used by libfuse and libfuse3
- When sandboxing your file system server, add a Mach lookup exception for the io.macfuse.mount service
- The new MFMount.framework is located in /Library/Filesystems/macfuse.fs/Contents/Frameworks
- Please note that the new API may change in future releases

FSModule (FSKit Backend):
- Add support for a file system item's allocation size. Sparse files are not currently supported, so the value of this attribute is the item's size.
- Add a workaround for an FSKit/PluginKit issue that could prevent macFUSE volumes from being mounted after re-registering an already registered file system extension, requiring a restart of the FSKit subsystem.
- Remove the obsolete broker launch daemon io.macfuse.app.launchservice.broker, which was previously used to establish a connection between the file system extension and the file system server.
- Improve the built-in log command to detect whether the output destination supports colored output. This is useful when piping log output to a file.
- Improve the built-in install command to support selecting which components to install. Supported options are privileged-helpers, file-system-extensions, and all. Omitting the component is equivalent to specifying all.
- Introduce foundational changes in preparation for new features in macFUSE 5.3

libfuse:
- Use new mount API MFMount.framework for mounting volumes using the FSKit Backend backend

libfuse3:
- Update libfuse3 to version 3.18.2
- Use new mount API MFMount.framework for mounting volumes using the FSKit Backend backend
- Fix a bug when handling FUSE_RENAME messages with FUSE_DARWIN_CAP_RENAME_EXT enabled that could cause the source and destination file names to be parsed incorrectly.
