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

47 * FIX: Two directories with the same name but different case confused the
49 * FIX: The ROOT_PARENT directory could get invalidated.
54 * NEW: Long file name mangling support.
55 * NEW: Improved log file support.
56 * NEW: Server-side find capability ("FPCatSearch")
57 * NEW: Concurrent datastore (CDB) is now the default CNID datastore. This
58 should be heavily tested in a multiuser environment.
59 * NEW: Variable substitution support has been added for the dbpath AppleVolume
61 * UPD: CNID DID handling is now enabled by default.
62 * FIX: Various bug and build fixes as well as code cleanups.

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