82 * NEW: Improved log file support.
83 * NEW: Server-side find capability ("FPCatSearch")
84 * NEW: Concurrent datastore (CDB) is now the default CNID datastore. This

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