TimeCapsuleSMB Adds Modern SMB Support to Apple Time Capsules Ahead of macOS 27 Protocol Removal

A new open-source project called TimeCapsuleSMB enables Apple Time Capsule devices to keep working with modern versions of macOS by installing a newer version of Samba on the device. The project was created by Microsoft engineer James Chang in response to Apple's plan to remove the Apple Filing Protocol in macOS 27. Without this change, Time Capsules would be unable to perform network backups.
