Monday, Amit Singh and team announced the release of MacFUSE 2.0 at a Google Open Source Developers speakers series. MacFUSE 2.0, based on the FUSE (filesystem in userspace) project that is popular with the Linux crowd, is a major update to the framework that provides support for alternate filesystems like NTFS in Mac OS X. The visible change to MacFUSE 2.0 is the addition of a new preference pane in System Preferences to make it simpler for end users to update MacFUSE or remove it entirely.

The significant changes are under the hood and are of interest to developers that are looking to create support for new filesystems. MacFUSE 2.0 adds experimental support for Snow Leopard and 64-bit systems (Leopard only), allows for Dtrace support for performance tuning, new Xcode project templates to help devs get started, debugging hooks and new function calls. You can get the full details in the changelog.
