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

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

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