18 (Fixes an OSX kernel panic.)
19 * FIX: CNID, folders' DID handling with concurrent access or symlinks.
20 (Fixes an endless loop in afpd.)
25 * FIX: pap looks at the STDOUT file descriptor to see if it's connected to
26 a tty, instead of STDIN.
31 * UPD: Removed --with-catsearch option from configure and enable FPCatSearch
33 * UPD: The dbpath argument does now support variable substitution.

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