4 * FIX: pap looks at the STDOUT file descriptor to see if it's connected to
5 a tty, instead of STDIN.
10 * UPD: Removed --with-catsearch option from configure and enable FPCatSearch
12 * UPD: The dbpath argument does now support variable substitution.
13 * FIX: Build fix for non-GNU-C compilers in libatalk/util/logger.c.
14 * FIX: Two directories with the same name but different case confused the
16 * FIX: The ROOT_PARENT directory could get invalidated.
21 * NEW: Long file name mangling support.
22 * NEW: Improved log file support.
23 * NEW: Server-side find capability ("FPCatSearch")
24 * NEW: Concurrent datastore (CDB) is now the default CNID datastore. This
25 should be heavily tested in a multiuser environment.
26 * NEW: Variable substitution support has been added for the dbpath AppleVolume
28 * UPD: CNID DID handling is now enabled by default.
29 * FIX: Various bug and build fixes as well as code cleanups.
34 * NEW: Allow afpd debugging to be enabled by sending the afpd process
36 * NEW: Allow SLP to be disabled per afpd process by adding a new -noslp flag
38 * FIX: Use server name (if not NULL) for the SLP URL.
39 * FIX: papd: buffer overflow during config file read (Olaf Hering)
44 * FIX: File open read only and then read write (aka pb with Illustrator).
45 * FIX: Problems with unexpected EOF when reading files on a ddp connection
46 Photoshop, old finder.
47 * FIX: --with-nls-dir option does now work
52 * UPD: Extend the --disable-shell-check functionality to ignore users
53 with _no_ shell. Also, send a log message if a user is refused login
54 based on the fact that they have no shell.
55 * UPD: Autoconf updates.
56 * UPD: Tru64 afpd authentication updates.
57 * UPD: As always: lots of minor code cleanups.
58 * FIX: Problems with Photoshop trying to open image files has been
60 * FIX: Preserve special permission bits when creating or modifying
62 * FIX: afp_deleteid() now deletes the specified file and not the parent
64 * FIX: papd does now announce that it supports binary data to its clients.
65 * FIX: NetBSD ELF support.
66 * FIX: acleandir.rc is now installed in the bin directory.
67 * FIX: megatron does now compile even if compiled with -DDEBUG.
68 * FIX: Clean up some syslog messages.
73 * NEW: NetBSD support contributed by David Rankin and NetBSD contributors.
74 This includes a new configure option --enable-netbsd.
75 * NEW: Add the -client_polling afpd.conf flag to allow for clients to poll
76 the server every 10 seconds for open window updates. Currently
77 this is the only way to get asynchronous directory updates.
78 * UPD: Use separate macro for AFS configure check.
79 * UPD: Some Perl scripts are now (partially) auto-generated. This improves
80 out-of-the-box usage of Netatalk.
81 * UPD: Solaris Kernel Makefile is now auto-generated. This fixes some path
82 issues, but isn't perfect, yet. Added some Solaris compatibility
83 fixes to the Kernel sources, too.
84 * UPD: CNID DB code sync'd with the current CVS version. NOTE: Using this
85 code requires you to delete _all_ existing .AppleDB directories in
86 order to avoid database corruption!
87 * FIX: The file AppleVolumes.system contained wrong line breaks so that
88 not all file types were properly recognized.
89 * FIX: AFS compilation would fail due to a misnamed variable.
90 * FIX: SLP configure check was wrong so SLP did not compile.
91 * FIX: Fix the way quotas are handled under certain situations.
92 * FIX: Do not enable debugging code if debugging option is not set.
93 * FIX: Some problems with wrongly assigned DIDs were fixed.
94 * FIX: Various bug fixes and code cleanups.
99 * NEW: Added a program called cnid_didname_verify that can be used to
100 verify the consistency of the CNID database.
101 * NEW: New afpd option: -timeout. Warning: This still doesn't do what it's
103 * UPD: Code cleanups and compatibility fixes to macusers.
104 * UPD: AppleVolumes.system was cleaned up.
105 * FIX: Really fix Tru64 compilation (see last entry).
106 * FIX: Hand correct error value back to AFP client when deleting files or
108 * FIX: Leading or trailing spaces are now forbidden on volumes that have
109 the AFPVOL_MSWINDOWS flag set.
110 * FIX: Minor code cleanups and warning fixes.
111 * FIX: Make quota support work on FreeBSD.
116 * FIX: Compilation on Tru64 systems was broken, since libtool's acinclude.m4
117 file on the packagers system did not contain the necessary patch.
118 * FIX: On some systems, atalkd refuses to start, since it couldn't detect
119 any interfaces. This was caused by an overzealous validity check.
124 * FIX: contrib/shell_utils/lp2pap.sh was erased when "make clean" was called.
125 Now we distribute lp2pap.sh.tmpl instead, and lp2pap.sh is automatically
126 generated during package build.
127 * FIX: Some platforms (notably Tru64) don't have the snprintf() call, which
128 was used in etc/afp/afp_config.c. This call was replaced by sprintf()
129 and prior bounds checking.
131 Changes from the 1.4b1 release:
133 Fixed the maximum free/total volume size in afpd.
135 Made ~ the default volume in afpd.
137 Fixed pid file handling and changed setpgrp() to setpgid() in afpd,
140 Added code to afpd to set the Unix file time stamps with utime().
142 Fixed a bug in papd's printcap code which limited it to 15 or so
145 Fixed papd's handling of piped printers.
147 Fixed papd's handling of bad job names.
149 Fixed atalkd to send NBP LKUP packets from NBP port.
151 Added "sync;sync;sync" to Solaris kinstall to help with streams
154 Added nlocalrts to streams ddp.conf. Thanks Thomas Tornblom.
156 Fixed signed extension infinite loop in Solaris module.
158 Moved all the config files to .../config.
160 Changes from the 1.3.3 release:
162 Added code from Sun Microsystems, Inc (OPCOM) for Solaris support.
165 Added support for FreeBSD, mostly changes by Mark Dawson and Julian
168 All sorts of other stuff.
170 Changes from the 1.3.1 release:
172 Added options to psf's filter names to support accounting on HPs.
173 !!! NOTE: The location of the filters has changed, see the man
176 Added code from Alan Cox to support Linux.
178 Rewrote papd. Now handles dropped connections better.
179 Configuration has been modernized. !!! NOTE: The format of the
180 configuration file has changed, but NOT THE NAME.
182 Added Kerberos support to papd.
184 atalkd now removes routes on a SIGTERM. Still can't just restart
187 Changed atalkd and the kernel driver to remove a hack added to
188 support sending to 0.255. Now the kernel will allow multiple open
189 sockets with the same port, so long as the addess associated with
190 the port is different. atalkd now opens a socket for each port on
193 atalkd now rewrites its configuration file. If no configuration
194 file is given, one will be generated. Permissions on the new
195 configuration file will be inherited from the old one. If there is
196 no old one, permissions default to 644. Won't rewrite the file if
197 the owner doesn't have write permission.
199 Removed support for the "AFS Kerberos UAM", in favor of the
200 "AuthMan UAM". Kerberos support should now be much more
203 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause incorrect group calculations
206 Fixed a bug in afpd which causes SimpleText and some other
207 applications to silently fail to write. There's also a bug in
208 MacOS, but we can't fix that.
210 Fixed a bad interaction with afpd and AFS which would cause file
211 writes to not propogate between AFS clients.
213 !!! CHANGED the name(s) of afpd's config files. The new files are
214 AppleVolumes.system and AppleVolumes.default. If AppleVolumes.system
215 exists, it is always read, AppleVolumes.default is only read if the
216 user has no AppleVolumes file. Included a flag "-u" to indicate
217 which file has precedence. "-u" user wins, otherwise ".system"
220 Rewrote the AppleVolumes parsing code. Now works.
222 Added a filename extension mapping to afpd. User always takes
223 precedence, regardless of the "-u" flag. Code to change the type
224 of all Unix files contributed by Kee Hinckley <nazgul@utopia.com>.
226 afpd now supports both UFS and AFS volumes simultaneously. It also
227 uses access() to attempt to calculate reasonable Mac permissions
230 Changed reporting of file times. Files that are written from Unix
231 now update the Mac's idea of the files modification time. Unix
232 mtime is now reported instead of ctime.
234 Added support for a new UAM to afpd. This requires that client
235 Macs have MacTCP and AuthMan installed. Should make running afpd
238 Removed code so that otherwise valid volumes for which the mounting
239 user has no permission will appear in the volume selection dialog
240 on the Mac gray-ed out.
242 Added code from Chris Metcalf of MIT to the AppleDouble library
243 which improves permission inheritance.
245 Added code from G. Paul Ziemba of Alantec, Inc to better report
246 errors in psf. Also changed psf to use syslog for errors that
247 users aren't interested in.
249 Added information to psf's man page to better explain the
250 interaction between psf, pap, and lpd.
252 Make psf/pap/psa do accounting when it's turnes on in
255 Changed pap's error message when there is no printer specified on
256 the command line and no .paprc is found. Also heavily modified
257 pap's man page to reflect changes in the "new" version of pap,
258 including moving it from section 8 to section 1.
260 Fixed a byte-order bug in pap's sequence numbers. Doubt if pap has
261 ever worked right on little endian machines!
263 Added a flag to pap to optionally close before receiving EOF from
264 the printer. Off by default. psf calls pap with this option on.
266 Added timeouts to the nbp library calls. This means that processes
267 won't hang when atalkd dies during boot, thus hanging your
270 Changes from the 1.3 release:
272 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause APPL mappings to contain both
273 mac and unix path names. The fixed code will handle the old
274 (corrupted) database.
276 Fixed a *very* serious bug which would cause files to be corrupted
277 when copying to afpd.
279 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause replies to icon writes to
280 contain the written icon.
282 Filled in the function code switch in afpd. Previously, a hacker
283 could probably have used afpd to get unauthorized access to a
284 machine running afpd.
286 Fixed a bug in the asp portion of libatalk.a which could cause the
287 malloc()/free() database to be corrupted.
289 Fixed a bug in atalkd's zip query code. With this bug, only the
290 first N % 255 nets get queried. However, since nets bigger than
291 255 are usually pretty unstable, the unqueried for nets will
292 eventually get done, when N drops by one.
294 Suppressed a spurious error ("route: No such process") in atalkd.
296 Changes from the 1.2.1 release:
298 atalkd is completely rewritten for phase 2 support. atalkd.conf
299 from previous version will not work!
301 afpd now has better AFS support. In particular, the configuration
302 for AFS was made much easier; a number of Kerberos-related
303 byte-ordering and time problems were found; clear-text passwords
304 were added (thanks to geeb@umich.edu).
306 afpd now handles Unix permissions much better (thanks to
309 There are many, many more changes, but most are small bug fixes.
311 Changes from the 1.2 release:
313 The Sun support now uses loadable kernel modules (a la VDDRV)
314 instead of binary patches. As such, it should work on any sunos
315 greater than 4.1, and is confirmed to work under 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
317 The DEC support no longer requires source. It also runs under
318 ultrix 4.1 and 4.2. It still requires patching your kernel, but the
319 patches are limited to those files available to binary-only sites
320 -- primarily hooks for things like netatalk.
322 The etc.rc script now uses changes made to nbprgstr (see below).
324 aecho now takes machine names on the command line.
326 nbplkup now takes a command line argument specifying the number of
327 responses to accept. It also takes its defaults from the NBPLKUP
328 environment variable.
330 nbprgstr may be used to register a name at any requested port.
332 afpd now logs if an illegal shell is used during login, instead of
333 silently denying service.
335 A bug in afpd which caused position information for the directory
336 children of the root of a volume to be ignored has been fixed.
338 Several typos in afpd which would cause include files necessary to
339 ultrix to be skipped have been fixed.
341 atalkd will no long propagate routes to networks whose zone
344 atalkd no longer dumps core if it receives a ZIP GetMyZone request
345 from a network whose zone it doesn't know. (Since this currently
346 can only happen from off net, it's not precisely a legal request.)
348 pap and papd (optionally) no longer check the connection id in PAP
349 DATA responses. Both also maintain the function code in non-first-packet
350 PAP DATA responses. These changes are work-arounds to deal with
351 certain AppleTalk printer cards, notably the BridgePort LocalTalk
352 card for HP LJIIISIs.
354 pap no longer sends an EOF response to each PAP SENDDATA request,
357 A bug in papd which would cause it to return a random value when
358 printing the procset to a piped printer has been fixed.
360 A bug relating to NBP on reverse-endian machines has been fixed.
362 atp_rsel() from libatalk now returns a correct value even if it
363 hasn't recieved anything yet.
365 atalk_addr() from libatalk no longer accepts addresses in octal
366 format, since AppleTalk addresses can have leading zeros. Also it
367 checks that the separator character is a '.'.
369 Pseudo man pages for nbplkup, nbprgstr, and nbpunrgstr, have been
372 The example in the psf(8) man page is now correct.
374 The man pages for changed commands have been updated.
376 The README files for various machine have been updated
