Hi, I just came across your project which is great. I see the tool is valid up to MacOS Catalina and I wonder whether there are plans to go up to MacOS BigSur and/or Monterey? Many thamks

Where do you base this on? Are you asking about the FVDE format or compiling from source?

On the front page https://github.com/libyal/libfvde it says:

Supported Core Storage / FileVault2 implementations:
* Mac OS X Lion (10.7)
* Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)
* Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9)
* Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10)
* Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11)
* macOS Sierra (10.12)
* macOS High Sierra (10.13)
* macOS Mojave (10.14)
* macOS Catalina (10.15)

There's no mention of Big Sur, Monterey and Sonoma.

That refers to the CoreStorage format versions, not the source. CoreStorage+FileVault was superseded by APFS on MacOS

Thank you for clarfication.
And I see there are two versions for download: 11 Nov 23 and 13 Jan 24 which are for testing. There's no stable version in between?

Depends on what you consider as "stable" but per same README the status of this project is experimental. See: https://github.com/libyal/libyal/wiki what is meant by this.

Closing issue given the original question has been answered.
