dedup-0.0.5

Full Changelog: release-0.0.4...release-0.0.5

• Resolves #1 clonefile(2) Creates Files with Different ATTR_CMNEXT_CLONEID
• Resolves #2 copyfile(3) Replaces Data with Broken HFS Compress Resource Fork

dedup now handles HFS transparent compression files more gracefully. dedup-0.0.4 would identify compressed files by how they were mangled by copyfile(3), but dedup-0.0.5 checks flags prior to any mangling and avoids using a compressed file as the source of other clones. Based on the way compressed files work and how APFS shares data blocks, it is not possible to clone compressed files that share data. Compressed files will be replaced by clones if there is at least one uncompressed matching file.

important
This is a pre-release build. There are no known bugs which cause data loss, but that doesn't mean there aren't unknown bugs that might cause data loss. While the author has not experienced any data loss with this release, and care has been taken to prevent data loss from occurring, users should understand that data loss could occur due to unforeseen circumstances.

dedup is only recommended for:

• Data that is backed up
• Data that can be recreated
• Data that can be lost due to unforeseen circumstances
