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

38 * FIX: The ROOT_PARENT directory could get invalidated.
43 * NEW: Long file name mangling support.
44 * NEW: Improved log file support.
45 * NEW: Server-side find capability ("FPCatSearch")
46 * NEW: Concurrent datastore (CDB) is now the default CNID datastore. This
47 should be heavily tested in a multiuser environment.
48 * NEW: Variable substitution support has been added for the dbpath AppleVolume
50 * UPD: CNID DID handling is now enabled by default.
51 * FIX: Various bug and build fixes as well as code cleanups.
56 * NEW: Allow afpd debugging to be enabled by sending the afpd process
58 * NEW: Allow SLP to be disabled per afpd process by adding a new -noslp flag

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