5 * FIX: Codepage file maccode.koi8-r is now correctly cleaned.
6 * FIX: Fix init script location on SuSE. [Olaf]
7 * FIX: Build fixes. [Olaf]
12 * FIX: pap looks at the STDOUT file descriptor to see if it's connected to
13 a tty, instead of STDIN.
18 * UPD: Removed --with-catsearch option from configure and enable FPCatSearch
20 * UPD: The dbpath argument does now support variable substitution.
21 * FIX: Build fix for non-GNU-C compilers in libatalk/util/logger.c.
22 * FIX: Two directories with the same name but different case confused the
24 * FIX: The ROOT_PARENT directory could get invalidated.
29 * NEW: Long file name mangling support.
30 * NEW: Improved log file support.
31 * NEW: Server-side find capability ("FPCatSearch")
32 * NEW: Concurrent datastore (CDB) is now the default CNID datastore. This
33 should be heavily tested in a multiuser environment.
34 * NEW: Variable substitution support has been added for the dbpath AppleVolume
36 * UPD: CNID DID handling is now enabled by default.
37 * FIX: Various bug and build fixes as well as code cleanups.
42 * NEW: Allow afpd debugging to be enabled by sending the afpd process
44 * NEW: Allow SLP to be disabled per afpd process by adding a new -noslp flag
46 * FIX: Use server name (if not NULL) for the SLP URL.
47 * FIX: papd: buffer overflow during config file read (Olaf Hering)
52 * FIX: File open read only and then read write (aka pb with Illustrator).
53 * FIX: Problems with unexpected EOF when reading files on a ddp connection
54 Photoshop, old finder.
55 * FIX: --with-nls-dir option does now work
60 * UPD: Extend the --disable-shell-check functionality to ignore users
61 with _no_ shell. Also, send a log message if a user is refused login
62 based on the fact that they have no shell.
63 * UPD: Autoconf updates.
64 * UPD: Tru64 afpd authentication updates.
65 * UPD: As always: lots of minor code cleanups.
66 * FIX: Problems with Photoshop trying to open image files has been
68 * FIX: Preserve special permission bits when creating or modifying
70 * FIX: afp_deleteid() now deletes the specified file and not the parent
72 * FIX: papd does now announce that it supports binary data to its clients.
73 * FIX: NetBSD ELF support.
74 * FIX: acleandir.rc is now installed in the bin directory.
75 * FIX: megatron does now compile even if compiled with -DDEBUG.
76 * FIX: Clean up some syslog messages.
81 * NEW: NetBSD support contributed by David Rankin and NetBSD contributors.
82 This includes a new configure option --enable-netbsd.
83 * NEW: Add the -client_polling afpd.conf flag to allow for clients to poll
84 the server every 10 seconds for open window updates. Currently
85 this is the only way to get asynchronous directory updates.
86 * UPD: Use separate macro for AFS configure check.
87 * UPD: Some Perl scripts are now (partially) auto-generated. This improves
88 out-of-the-box usage of Netatalk.
89 * UPD: Solaris Kernel Makefile is now auto-generated. This fixes some path
90 issues, but isn't perfect, yet. Added some Solaris compatibility
91 fixes to the Kernel sources, too.
92 * UPD: CNID DB code sync'd with the current CVS version. NOTE: Using this
93 code requires you to delete _all_ existing .AppleDB directories in
94 order to avoid database corruption!
95 * FIX: The file AppleVolumes.system contained wrong line breaks so that
96 not all file types were properly recognized.
97 * FIX: AFS compilation would fail due to a misnamed variable.
98 * FIX: SLP configure check was wrong so SLP did not compile.
99 * FIX: Fix the way quotas are handled under certain situations.
100 * FIX: Do not enable debugging code if debugging option is not set.
101 * FIX: Some problems with wrongly assigned DIDs were fixed.
102 * FIX: Various bug fixes and code cleanups.
107 * NEW: Added a program called cnid_didname_verify that can be used to
108 verify the consistency of the CNID database.
109 * NEW: New afpd option: -timeout. Warning: This still doesn't do what it's
111 * UPD: Code cleanups and compatibility fixes to macusers.
112 * UPD: AppleVolumes.system was cleaned up.
113 * FIX: Really fix Tru64 compilation (see last entry).
114 * FIX: Hand correct error value back to AFP client when deleting files or
116 * FIX: Leading or trailing spaces are now forbidden on volumes that have
117 the AFPVOL_MSWINDOWS flag set.
118 * FIX: Minor code cleanups and warning fixes.
119 * FIX: Make quota support work on FreeBSD.
124 * FIX: Compilation on Tru64 systems was broken, since libtool's acinclude.m4
125 file on the packagers system did not contain the necessary patch.
126 * FIX: On some systems, atalkd refuses to start, since it couldn't detect
127 any interfaces. This was caused by an overzealous validity check.
132 * FIX: contrib/shell_utils/lp2pap.sh was erased when "make clean" was called.
133 Now we distribute lp2pap.sh.tmpl instead, and lp2pap.sh is automatically
134 generated during package build.
135 * FIX: Some platforms (notably Tru64) don't have the snprintf() call, which
136 was used in etc/afp/afp_config.c. This call was replaced by sprintf()
137 and prior bounds checking.
139 Changes from the 1.4b1 release:
141 Fixed the maximum free/total volume size in afpd.
143 Made ~ the default volume in afpd.
145 Fixed pid file handling and changed setpgrp() to setpgid() in afpd,
148 Added code to afpd to set the Unix file time stamps with utime().
150 Fixed a bug in papd's printcap code which limited it to 15 or so
153 Fixed papd's handling of piped printers.
155 Fixed papd's handling of bad job names.
157 Fixed atalkd to send NBP LKUP packets from NBP port.
159 Added "sync;sync;sync" to Solaris kinstall to help with streams
162 Added nlocalrts to streams ddp.conf. Thanks Thomas Tornblom.
164 Fixed signed extension infinite loop in Solaris module.
166 Moved all the config files to .../config.
168 Changes from the 1.3.3 release:
170 Added code from Sun Microsystems, Inc (OPCOM) for Solaris support.
173 Added support for FreeBSD, mostly changes by Mark Dawson and Julian
176 All sorts of other stuff.
178 Changes from the 1.3.1 release:
180 Added options to psf's filter names to support accounting on HPs.
181 !!! NOTE: The location of the filters has changed, see the man
184 Added code from Alan Cox to support Linux.
186 Rewrote papd. Now handles dropped connections better.
187 Configuration has been modernized. !!! NOTE: The format of the
188 configuration file has changed, but NOT THE NAME.
190 Added Kerberos support to papd.
192 atalkd now removes routes on a SIGTERM. Still can't just restart
195 Changed atalkd and the kernel driver to remove a hack added to
196 support sending to 0.255. Now the kernel will allow multiple open
197 sockets with the same port, so long as the addess associated with
198 the port is different. atalkd now opens a socket for each port on
201 atalkd now rewrites its configuration file. If no configuration
202 file is given, one will be generated. Permissions on the new
203 configuration file will be inherited from the old one. If there is
204 no old one, permissions default to 644. Won't rewrite the file if
205 the owner doesn't have write permission.
207 Removed support for the "AFS Kerberos UAM", in favor of the
208 "AuthMan UAM". Kerberos support should now be much more
211 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause incorrect group calculations
214 Fixed a bug in afpd which causes SimpleText and some other
215 applications to silently fail to write. There's also a bug in
216 MacOS, but we can't fix that.
218 Fixed a bad interaction with afpd and AFS which would cause file
219 writes to not propogate between AFS clients.
221 !!! CHANGED the name(s) of afpd's config files. The new files are
222 AppleVolumes.system and AppleVolumes.default. If AppleVolumes.system
223 exists, it is always read, AppleVolumes.default is only read if the
224 user has no AppleVolumes file. Included a flag "-u" to indicate
225 which file has precedence. "-u" user wins, otherwise ".system"
228 Rewrote the AppleVolumes parsing code. Now works.
230 Added a filename extension mapping to afpd. User always takes
231 precedence, regardless of the "-u" flag. Code to change the type
232 of all Unix files contributed by Kee Hinckley <nazgul@utopia.com>.
234 afpd now supports both UFS and AFS volumes simultaneously. It also
235 uses access() to attempt to calculate reasonable Mac permissions
238 Changed reporting of file times. Files that are written from Unix
239 now update the Mac's idea of the files modification time. Unix
240 mtime is now reported instead of ctime.
242 Added support for a new UAM to afpd. This requires that client
243 Macs have MacTCP and AuthMan installed. Should make running afpd
246 Removed code so that otherwise valid volumes for which the mounting
247 user has no permission will appear in the volume selection dialog
248 on the Mac gray-ed out.
250 Added code from Chris Metcalf of MIT to the AppleDouble library
251 which improves permission inheritance.
253 Added code from G. Paul Ziemba of Alantec, Inc to better report
254 errors in psf. Also changed psf to use syslog for errors that
255 users aren't interested in.
257 Added information to psf's man page to better explain the
258 interaction between psf, pap, and lpd.
260 Make psf/pap/psa do accounting when it's turnes on in
263 Changed pap's error message when there is no printer specified on
264 the command line and no .paprc is found. Also heavily modified
265 pap's man page to reflect changes in the "new" version of pap,
266 including moving it from section 8 to section 1.
268 Fixed a byte-order bug in pap's sequence numbers. Doubt if pap has
269 ever worked right on little endian machines!
271 Added a flag to pap to optionally close before receiving EOF from
272 the printer. Off by default. psf calls pap with this option on.
274 Added timeouts to the nbp library calls. This means that processes
275 won't hang when atalkd dies during boot, thus hanging your
278 Changes from the 1.3 release:
280 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause APPL mappings to contain both
281 mac and unix path names. The fixed code will handle the old
282 (corrupted) database.
284 Fixed a *very* serious bug which would cause files to be corrupted
285 when copying to afpd.
287 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause replies to icon writes to
288 contain the written icon.
290 Filled in the function code switch in afpd. Previously, a hacker
291 could probably have used afpd to get unauthorized access to a
292 machine running afpd.
294 Fixed a bug in the asp portion of libatalk.a which could cause the
295 malloc()/free() database to be corrupted.
297 Fixed a bug in atalkd's zip query code. With this bug, only the
298 first N % 255 nets get queried. However, since nets bigger than
299 255 are usually pretty unstable, the unqueried for nets will
300 eventually get done, when N drops by one.
302 Suppressed a spurious error ("route: No such process") in atalkd.
304 Changes from the 1.2.1 release:
306 atalkd is completely rewritten for phase 2 support. atalkd.conf
307 from previous version will not work!
309 afpd now has better AFS support. In particular, the configuration
310 for AFS was made much easier; a number of Kerberos-related
311 byte-ordering and time problems were found; clear-text passwords
312 were added (thanks to geeb@umich.edu).
314 afpd now handles Unix permissions much better (thanks to
317 There are many, many more changes, but most are small bug fixes.
319 Changes from the 1.2 release:
321 The Sun support now uses loadable kernel modules (a la VDDRV)
322 instead of binary patches. As such, it should work on any sunos
323 greater than 4.1, and is confirmed to work under 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
325 The DEC support no longer requires source. It also runs under
326 ultrix 4.1 and 4.2. It still requires patching your kernel, but the
327 patches are limited to those files available to binary-only sites
328 -- primarily hooks for things like netatalk.
330 The etc.rc script now uses changes made to nbprgstr (see below).
332 aecho now takes machine names on the command line.
334 nbplkup now takes a command line argument specifying the number of
335 responses to accept. It also takes its defaults from the NBPLKUP
336 environment variable.
338 nbprgstr may be used to register a name at any requested port.
340 afpd now logs if an illegal shell is used during login, instead of
341 silently denying service.
343 A bug in afpd which caused position information for the directory
344 children of the root of a volume to be ignored has been fixed.
346 Several typos in afpd which would cause include files necessary to
347 ultrix to be skipped have been fixed.
349 atalkd will no long propagate routes to networks whose zone
352 atalkd no longer dumps core if it receives a ZIP GetMyZone request
353 from a network whose zone it doesn't know. (Since this currently
354 can only happen from off net, it's not precisely a legal request.)
356 pap and papd (optionally) no longer check the connection id in PAP
357 DATA responses. Both also maintain the function code in non-first-packet
358 PAP DATA responses. These changes are work-arounds to deal with
359 certain AppleTalk printer cards, notably the BridgePort LocalTalk
360 card for HP LJIIISIs.
362 pap no longer sends an EOF response to each PAP SENDDATA request,
365 A bug in papd which would cause it to return a random value when
366 printing the procset to a piped printer has been fixed.
368 A bug relating to NBP on reverse-endian machines has been fixed.
370 atp_rsel() from libatalk now returns a correct value even if it
371 hasn't recieved anything yet.
373 atalk_addr() from libatalk no longer accepts addresses in octal
374 format, since AppleTalk addresses can have leading zeros. Also it
375 checks that the separator character is a '.'.
377 Pseudo man pages for nbplkup, nbprgstr, and nbpunrgstr, have been
380 The example in the psf(8) man page is now correct.
382 The man pages for changed commands have been updated.
384 The README files for various machine have been updated
