26 (Fixes an OSX kernel panic.)
27 * FIX: CNID, folders' DID handling with concurrent access or symlinks.
28 (Fixes an endless loop in afpd.)
33 * FIX: pap looks at the STDOUT file descriptor to see if it's connected to

43 * FIX: Two directories with the same name but different case confused the
45 * FIX: The ROOT_PARENT directory could get invalidated.
50 * NEW: Long file name mangling support.
51 * NEW: Improved log file support.
52 * NEW: Server-side find capability ("FPCatSearch")
53 * NEW: Concurrent datastore (CDB) is now the default CNID datastore. This
54 should be heavily tested in a multiuser environment.
55 * NEW: Variable substitution support has been added for the dbpath AppleVolume
57 * UPD: CNID DID handling is now enabled by default.
58 * FIX: Various bug and build fixes as well as code cleanups.
63 * NEW: Allow afpd debugging to be enabled by sending the afpd process
65 * NEW: Allow SLP to be disabled per afpd process by adding a new -noslp flag
67 * FIX: Use server name (if not NULL) for the SLP URL.
68 * FIX: papd: buffer overflow during config file read (Olaf Hering)
73 * FIX: File open read only and then read write (aka pb with Illustrator).

75 Photoshop, old finder.
76 * FIX: --with-nls-dir option does now work
81 * UPD: Extend the --disable-shell-check functionality to ignore users

83 based on the fact that they have no shell.
84 * UPD: Autoconf updates.
85 * UPD: Tru64 afpd authentication updates.
86 * UPD: As always: lots of minor code cleanups.
87 * FIX: Problems with Photoshop trying to open image files has been
89 * FIX: Preserve special permission bits when creating or modifying
91 * FIX: afp_deleteid() now deletes the specified file and not the parent
93 * FIX: papd does now announce that it supports binary data to its clients.
94 * FIX: NetBSD ELF support.
95 * FIX: acleandir.rc is now installed in the bin directory.
96 * FIX: megatron does now compile even if compiled with -DDEBUG.
97 * FIX: Clean up some syslog messages.
102 * NEW: NetBSD support contributed by David Rankin and NetBSD contributors.
103 This includes a new configure option --enable-netbsd.
104 * NEW: Add the -client_polling afpd.conf flag to allow for clients to poll
105 the server every 10 seconds for open window updates. Currently
106 this is the only way to get asynchronous directory updates.
107 * UPD: Use separate macro for AFS configure check.
108 * UPD: Some Perl scripts are now (partially) auto-generated. This improves
109 out-of-the-box usage of Netatalk.
110 * UPD: Solaris Kernel Makefile is now auto-generated. This fixes some path
111 issues, but isn't perfect, yet. Added some Solaris compatibility
112 fixes to the Kernel sources, too.
113 * UPD: CNID DB code sync'd with the current CVS version. NOTE: Using this
114 code requires you to delete _all_ existing .AppleDB directories in
115 order to avoid database corruption!
116 * FIX: The file AppleVolumes.system contained wrong line breaks so that
117 not all file types were properly recognized.
118 * FIX: AFS compilation would fail due to a misnamed variable.
119 * FIX: SLP configure check was wrong so SLP did not compile.
120 * FIX: Fix the way quotas are handled under certain situations.
121 * FIX: Do not enable debugging code if debugging option is not set.
122 * FIX: Some problems with wrongly assigned DIDs were fixed.
123 * FIX: Various bug fixes and code cleanups.
128 * NEW: Added a program called cnid_didname_verify that can be used to
129 verify the consistency of the CNID database.
130 * NEW: New afpd option: -timeout. Warning: This still doesn't do what it's
132 * UPD: Code cleanups and compatibility fixes to macusers.
133 * UPD: AppleVolumes.system was cleaned up.
134 * FIX: Really fix Tru64 compilation (see last entry).
135 * FIX: Hand correct error value back to AFP client when deleting files or
137 * FIX: Leading or trailing spaces are now forbidden on volumes that have
138 the AFPVOL_MSWINDOWS flag set.
139 * FIX: Minor code cleanups and warning fixes.
140 * FIX: Make quota support work on FreeBSD.
145 * FIX: Compilation on Tru64 systems was broken, since libtool's acinclude.m4
146 file on the packagers system did not contain the necessary patch.
147 * FIX: On some systems, atalkd refuses to start, since it couldn't detect
148 any interfaces. This was caused by an overzealous validity check.
153 * FIX: contrib/shell_utils/lp2pap.sh was erased when "make clean" was called.
154 Now we distribute lp2pap.sh.tmpl instead, and lp2pap.sh is automatically
155 generated during package build.
156 * FIX: Some platforms (notably Tru64) don't have the snprintf() call, which
157 was used in etc/afp/afp_config.c. This call was replaced by sprintf()
158 and prior bounds checking.
160 Changes from the 1.4b1 release:
162 Fixed the maximum free/total volume size in afpd.
164 Made ~ the default volume in afpd.
166 Fixed pid file handling and changed setpgrp() to setpgid() in afpd,
169 Added code to afpd to set the Unix file time stamps with utime().
171 Fixed a bug in papd's printcap code which limited it to 15 or so
174 Fixed papd's handling of piped printers.
176 Fixed papd's handling of bad job names.
178 Fixed atalkd to send NBP LKUP packets from NBP port.
180 Added "sync;sync;sync" to Solaris kinstall to help with streams
183 Added nlocalrts to streams ddp.conf. Thanks Thomas Tornblom.
185 Fixed signed extension infinite loop in Solaris module.
187 Moved all the config files to .../config.
189 Changes from the 1.3.3 release:
191 Added code from Sun Microsystems, Inc (OPCOM) for Solaris support.
194 Added support for FreeBSD, mostly changes by Mark Dawson and Julian
197 All sorts of other stuff.
199 Changes from the 1.3.1 release:
201 Added options to psf's filter names to support accounting on HPs.
202 !!! NOTE: The location of the filters has changed, see the man
205 Added code from Alan Cox to support Linux.
207 Rewrote papd. Now handles dropped connections better.
208 Configuration has been modernized. !!! NOTE: The format of the
209 configuration file has changed, but NOT THE NAME.
211 Added Kerberos support to papd.
213 atalkd now removes routes on a SIGTERM. Still can't just restart
216 Changed atalkd and the kernel driver to remove a hack added to
217 support sending to 0.255. Now the kernel will allow multiple open
218 sockets with the same port, so long as the addess associated with
219 the port is different. atalkd now opens a socket for each port on
222 atalkd now rewrites its configuration file. If no configuration
223 file is given, one will be generated. Permissions on the new
224 configuration file will be inherited from the old one. If there is
225 no old one, permissions default to 644. Won't rewrite the file if
226 the owner doesn't have write permission.
228 Removed support for the "AFS Kerberos UAM", in favor of the
229 "AuthMan UAM". Kerberos support should now be much more
232 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause incorrect group calculations
235 Fixed a bug in afpd which causes SimpleText and some other
236 applications to silently fail to write. There's also a bug in
237 MacOS, but we can't fix that.
239 Fixed a bad interaction with afpd and AFS which would cause file
240 writes to not propogate between AFS clients.
242 !!! CHANGED the name(s) of afpd's config files. The new files are
243 AppleVolumes.system and AppleVolumes.default. If AppleVolumes.system
244 exists, it is always read, AppleVolumes.default is only read if the
245 user has no AppleVolumes file. Included a flag "-u" to indicate
246 which file has precedence. "-u" user wins, otherwise ".system"
249 Rewrote the AppleVolumes parsing code. Now works.
251 Added a filename extension mapping to afpd. User always takes
252 precedence, regardless of the "-u" flag. Code to change the type
253 of all Unix files contributed by Kee Hinckley <nazgul@utopia.com>.
255 afpd now supports both UFS and AFS volumes simultaneously. It also
256 uses access() to attempt to calculate reasonable Mac permissions
259 Changed reporting of file times. Files that are written from Unix
260 now update the Mac's idea of the files modification time. Unix
261 mtime is now reported instead of ctime.
263 Added support for a new UAM to afpd. This requires that client
264 Macs have MacTCP and AuthMan installed. Should make running afpd
267 Removed code so that otherwise valid volumes for which the mounting
268 user has no permission will appear in the volume selection dialog
269 on the Mac gray-ed out.
271 Added code from Chris Metcalf of MIT to the AppleDouble library
272 which improves permission inheritance.
274 Added code from G. Paul Ziemba of Alantec, Inc to better report
275 errors in psf. Also changed psf to use syslog for errors that
276 users aren't interested in.
278 Added information to psf's man page to better explain the
279 interaction between psf, pap, and lpd.
281 Make psf/pap/psa do accounting when it's turnes on in
284 Changed pap's error message when there is no printer specified on
285 the command line and no .paprc is found. Also heavily modified
286 pap's man page to reflect changes in the "new" version of pap,
287 including moving it from section 8 to section 1.
289 Fixed a byte-order bug in pap's sequence numbers. Doubt if pap has
290 ever worked right on little endian machines!
292 Added a flag to pap to optionally close before receiving EOF from
293 the printer. Off by default. psf calls pap with this option on.
295 Added timeouts to the nbp library calls. This means that processes
296 won't hang when atalkd dies during boot, thus hanging your
299 Changes from the 1.3 release:
301 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause APPL mappings to contain both
302 mac and unix path names. The fixed code will handle the old
303 (corrupted) database.
305 Fixed a *very* serious bug which would cause files to be corrupted
306 when copying to afpd.
308 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause replies to icon writes to
309 contain the written icon.
311 Filled in the function code switch in afpd. Previously, a hacker
312 could probably have used afpd to get unauthorized access to a
313 machine running afpd.
315 Fixed a bug in the asp portion of libatalk.a which could cause the
316 malloc()/free() database to be corrupted.
318 Fixed a bug in atalkd's zip query code. With this bug, only the
319 first N % 255 nets get queried. However, since nets bigger than
320 255 are usually pretty unstable, the unqueried for nets will
321 eventually get done, when N drops by one.
323 Suppressed a spurious error ("route: No such process") in atalkd.
325 Changes from the 1.2.1 release:
327 atalkd is completely rewritten for phase 2 support. atalkd.conf
328 from previous version will not work!
330 afpd now has better AFS support. In particular, the configuration
331 for AFS was made much easier; a number of Kerberos-related
332 byte-ordering and time problems were found; clear-text passwords
333 were added (thanks to geeb@umich.edu).
335 afpd now handles Unix permissions much better (thanks to
338 There are many, many more changes, but most are small bug fixes.
340 Changes from the 1.2 release:
342 The Sun support now uses loadable kernel modules (a la VDDRV)
343 instead of binary patches. As such, it should work on any sunos
344 greater than 4.1, and is confirmed to work under 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
346 The DEC support no longer requires source. It also runs under
347 ultrix 4.1 and 4.2. It still requires patching your kernel, but the
348 patches are limited to those files available to binary-only sites
349 -- primarily hooks for things like netatalk.
351 The etc.rc script now uses changes made to nbprgstr (see below).
353 aecho now takes machine names on the command line.
355 nbplkup now takes a command line argument specifying the number of
356 responses to accept. It also takes its defaults from the NBPLKUP
357 environment variable.
359 nbprgstr may be used to register a name at any requested port.
361 afpd now logs if an illegal shell is used during login, instead of
362 silently denying service.
364 A bug in afpd which caused position information for the directory
365 children of the root of a volume to be ignored has been fixed.
367 Several typos in afpd which would cause include files necessary to
368 ultrix to be skipped have been fixed.
370 atalkd will no long propagate routes to networks whose zone
373 atalkd no longer dumps core if it receives a ZIP GetMyZone request
374 from a network whose zone it doesn't know. (Since this currently
375 can only happen from off net, it's not precisely a legal request.)
377 pap and papd (optionally) no longer check the connection id in PAP
378 DATA responses. Both also maintain the function code in non-first-packet
379 PAP DATA responses. These changes are work-arounds to deal with
380 certain AppleTalk printer cards, notably the BridgePort LocalTalk
381 card for HP LJIIISIs.
383 pap no longer sends an EOF response to each PAP SENDDATA request,
386 A bug in papd which would cause it to return a random value when
387 printing the procset to a piped printer has been fixed.
389 A bug relating to NBP on reverse-endian machines has been fixed.
391 atp_rsel() from libatalk now returns a correct value even if it
392 hasn't recieved anything yet.
394 atalk_addr() from libatalk no longer accepts addresses in octal
395 format, since AppleTalk addresses can have leading zeros. Also it
396 checks that the separator character is a '.'.
398 Pseudo man pages for nbplkup, nbprgstr, and nbpunrgstr, have been
401 The example in the psf(8) man page is now correct.
403 The man pages for changed commands have been updated.
405 The README files for various machine have been updated
