Bugs Squashed, New 1.01 Beta Released

[Michael Gorbach]

Hello all,
A new beta release of MacFusion (call it 1.01 B1) is available.
1. Bugs with saving of SSH and FTP passwords should be mostly
squashed. Thanks to all that helped so extensively in this debugging!
Thanks particularly Graham Perrin who helped nail down the cause.
2. Follow symlinks on by default now. If anyone really needs a switch
for this, I can add one, but I think this is one of those situations
where its really unlikely someone will need to turn it off.
3. Sum minor GUI bugs fixed.
4. New version of SSHFS binary is included (the same version as in the
new google sshfs.app). This should fix the issues with crashing in
MSWord saving for example.

Download it here:

Please let me know of any problems, and if possible confirm that the
above issues are fixed.
I'll try to implement some more of the given suggestions this weekend,
put out one more beta then get 1.01 out to the public.

Technical background for anyone interested: The problems with saving
FTP and SFTP passwords were caused by a non null terminated string.
Basically, it only worked if you had lots of free memory and got
lucky! Apparently, the api call that gets info from keychain does not
terminate the string it returns. Keychain entries should be thought of
as "blobs", not strings representing passwords. The solution was to
use the length returned by the keychain call to carefully create an
NSString or CFString from the data.

Enjoy!
Michael

All favourites for which passwords are in keychain mount, unmount and
remount without error.

Word 2004 saves minor changes (with revision marking enabled) to a
3.7MB document on an ssh volume over a slow connection without error.

Thanks all round :-)

Regards

No errors on mount/unmount or working with files here. Happy day!

I did the compile of Rev # 48 from the source myself though I don't
think there is any difference to the version you uploaded.
Rev # 48 works fine here. Had two servers via ssh which won't remember
the password correct and do so now.
Additionally this fixed a permission bug with PathFinder (a finder
replacement I usually use.) where PathFinder won't allow any write
action on a mounted drive.
Very nice

Works great for me! Thanks for the quick update :)

Juat a quick note to say that the version string doesn't say "B1" or
"beta" or anything that might help differentiate it from the release
version.

Otherwise, works like a charm.

Saving of SSH and FTP passwords in keychain works now, thanks!
