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

44 * UPD: Removed --with-catsearch option from configure and enable FPCatSearch
46 * UPD: The dbpath argument does now support variable substitution.

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

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