367 * NEW: CNID handling completely reworked. We now use per Volume configurable
369 * NEW: Two new daemons, cnid_metad and cnid_dbd to implement the dbd CNID backend.
370 Using Berkeley DB transactions with the CNID database should be safe now.
371 * NEW: The on disk format of the CNID database has changed. We now support 8 byte
372 device and inode numbers and an additinal type field that should make
373 detection of file/directory changes outside of afpd more robust.
374 Changed from HASH to BTREE access which speeds things up in certain cases
375 and reduces database file size.
376 * NEW: Long file name mangling is now implemented using the CNID ID, so no database is
377 required to map names to mangled names. This is the same method Mac OS X uses.
378 * NEW: New format (version 2) for Metadata in AppleDouble files. We record device and
379 inode of the underlying file as well as the CNID. This can be used for recovery
380 and speeds up access to the CNID.
381 * NEW: The old NLS codepage system has been removed. It was replaced by an iconv
382 based conversion system, which provides much more flexibility.
383 * NEW: You can safely use extended characters in volume names and for SIGUSR2 messaging.
384 * NEW: The default volume encoding is UTF-8.
385 * NEW: All documentation is now generated using DocBook. New or completely reworked
386 sections about installing, setting up and upgrading Netatalk replace various
387 README files in the doc directory.
388 * FIX: Protect afpd better against unexpected signals during updates of the CNID
389 database with the cdb backend. This makes database corruption less likely.
390 * FIX: All manpages have been reviewed and should now be up to date.
391 * FIX: Tons of bug fixes since 1.6.4. Please consults the CVS change log for details.
396 * NEW: afpd: Using the mswindows option now implicitly specifies usedots.

538 fixes to the Kernel sources, too.
539 * UPD: CNID DB code sync'd with the current CVS version. NOTE: Using this
540 code requires you to delete _all_ existing .AppleDB directories in
541 order to avoid database corruption!
542 * FIX: The file AppleVolumes.system contained wrong line breaks so that
543 not all file types were properly recognized.
544 * FIX: AFS compilation would fail due to a misnamed variable.
545 * FIX: SLP configure check was wrong so SLP did not compile.
546 * FIX: Fix the way quotas are handled under certain situations.
547 * FIX: Do not enable debugging code if debugging option is not set.
548 * FIX: Some problems with wrongly assigned DIDs were fixed.
549 * FIX: Various bug fixes and code cleanups.
554 * NEW: Added a program called cnid_didname_verify that can be used to
555 verify the consistency of the CNID database.
556 * NEW: New afpd option: -timeout. Warning: This still doesn't do what it's
558 * UPD: Code cleanups and compatibility fixes to macusers.
559 * UPD: AppleVolumes.system was cleaned up.
560 * FIX: Really fix Tru64 compilation (see last entry).
561 * FIX: Hand correct error value back to AFP client when deleting files or
563 * FIX: Leading or trailing spaces are now forbidden on volumes that have
564 the AFPVOL_MSWINDOWS flag set.
565 * FIX: Minor code cleanups and warning fixes.
566 * FIX: Make quota support work on FreeBSD.
571 * FIX: Compilation on Tru64 systems was broken, since libtool's acinclude.m4
572 file on the packagers system did not contain the necessary patch.
573 * FIX: On some systems, atalkd refuses to start, since it couldn't detect
574 any interfaces. This was caused by an overzealous validity check.
579 * FIX: contrib/shell_utils/lp2pap.sh was erased when "make clean" was called.
580 Now we distribute lp2pap.sh.tmpl instead, and lp2pap.sh is automatically
581 generated during package build.
582 * FIX: Some platforms (notably Tru64) don't have the snprintf() call, which
583 was used in etc/afp/afp_config.c. This call was replaced by sprintf()
584 and prior bounds checking.
586 Changes from the 1.4b1 release:
587 ===============================
589 * Fixed the maximum free/total volume size in afpd.
591 * Made ~ the default volume in afpd.
593 * Fixed pid file handling and changed setpgrp() to setpgid() in afpd,
596 * Added code to afpd to set the Unix file time stamps with utime().
598 * Fixed a bug in papd's printcap code which limited it to 15 or so
601 * Fixed papd's handling of piped printers.
603 * Fixed papd's handling of bad job names.
605 * Fixed atalkd to send NBP LKUP packets from NBP port.
607 * Added "sync;sync;sync" to Solaris kinstall to help with streams
610 * Added nlocalrts to streams ddp.conf. Thanks Thomas Tornblom.
612 * Fixed signed extension infinite loop in Solaris module.
614 * Moved all the config files to .../config.
616 Changes from the 1.3.3 release:
617 ===============================
619 * Added code from Sun Microsystems, Inc (OPCOM) for Solaris support.
622 * Added support for FreeBSD, mostly changes by Mark Dawson and Julian
625 * All sorts of other stuff.
627 Changes from the 1.3.1 release:
628 ===============================
630 * Added options to psf's filter names to support accounting on HPs.
631 !!! NOTE: The location of the filters has changed, see the man
634 * Added code from Alan Cox to support Linux.
636 * Rewrote papd. Now handles dropped connections better.
637 Configuration has been modernized. !!! NOTE: The format of the
638 configuration file has changed, but NOT THE NAME.
640 * Added Kerberos support to papd.
642 * atalkd now removes routes on a SIGTERM. Still can't just restart
645 * Changed atalkd and the kernel driver to remove a hack added to
646 support sending to 0.255. Now the kernel will allow multiple open
647 sockets with the same port, so long as the addess associated with
648 the port is different. atalkd now opens a socket for each port on
651 * atalkd now rewrites its configuration file. If no configuration
652 file is given, one will be generated. Permissions on the new
653 configuration file will be inherited from the old one. If there is
654 no old one, permissions default to 644. Won't rewrite the file if
655 the owner doesn't have write permission.
657 * Removed support for the "AFS Kerberos UAM", in favor of the
658 "AuthMan UAM". Kerberos support should now be much more
661 * Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause incorrect group calculations
664 * Fixed a bug in afpd which causes SimpleText and some other
665 applications to silently fail to write. There's also a bug in
666 MacOS, but we can't fix that.
668 * Fixed a bad interaction with afpd and AFS which would cause file
669 writes to not propogate between AFS clients.
671 * !!! CHANGED the name(s) of afpd's config files. The new files are
672 AppleVolumes.system and AppleVolumes.default. If AppleVolumes.system
673 exists, it is always read, AppleVolumes.default is only read if the
674 user has no AppleVolumes file. Included a flag "-u" to indicate
675 which file has precedence. "-u" user wins, otherwise ".system"
678 * Rewrote the AppleVolumes parsing code. Now works.
680 * Added a filename extension mapping to afpd. User always takes
681 precedence, regardless of the "-u" flag. Code to change the type
682 of all Unix files contributed by Kee Hinckley <nazgul@utopia.com>.
684 * afpd now supports both UFS and AFS volumes simultaneously. It also
685 uses access() to attempt to calculate reasonable Mac permissions
688 * Changed reporting of file times. Files that are written from Unix
689 now update the Mac's idea of the files modification time. Unix
690 mtime is now reported instead of ctime.
692 * Added support for a new UAM to afpd. This requires that client
693 Macs have MacTCP and AuthMan installed. Should make running afpd
696 * Removed code so that otherwise valid volumes for which the mounting
697 user has no permission will appear in the volume selection dialog
698 on the Mac gray-ed out.
700 * Added code from Chris Metcalf of MIT to the AppleDouble library
701 which improves permission inheritance.
703 * Added code from G. Paul Ziemba of Alantec, Inc to better report
704 errors in psf. Also changed psf to use syslog for errors that
705 users aren't interested in.
707 * Added information to psf's man page to better explain the
708 interaction between psf, pap, and lpd.
710 * Make psf/pap/psa do accounting when it's turnes on in
713 * Changed pap's error message when there is no printer specified on
714 the command line and no .paprc is found. Also heavily modified
715 pap's man page to reflect changes in the "new" version of pap,
716 including moving it from section 8 to section 1.
718 * Fixed a byte-order bug in pap's sequence numbers. Doubt if pap has
719 ever worked right on little endian machines!
721 * Added a flag to pap to optionally close before receiving EOF from
722 the printer. Off by default. psf calls pap with this option on.
724 * Added timeouts to the nbp library calls. This means that processes
725 won't hang when atalkd dies during boot, thus hanging your
728 Changes from the 1.3 release:
729 =============================
731 * Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause APPL mappings to contain both
732 mac and unix path names. The fixed code will handle the old
733 (corrupted) database.
735 * Fixed a *very* serious bug which would cause files to be corrupted
736 when copying to afpd.
738 * Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause replies to icon writes to
739 contain the written icon.
741 * Filled in the function code switch in afpd. Previously, a hacker
742 could probably have used afpd to get unauthorized access to a
743 machine running afpd.
745 * Fixed a bug in the asp portion of libatalk.a which could cause the
746 malloc()/free() database to be corrupted.
748 * Fixed a bug in atalkd's zip query code. With this bug, only the
749 first N % 255 nets get queried. However, since nets bigger than
750 255 are usually pretty unstable, the unqueried for nets will
751 eventually get done, when N drops by one.
753 * Suppressed a spurious error ("route: No such process") in atalkd.
755 Changes from the 1.2.1 release:
756 ===============================
758 * atalkd is completely rewritten for phase 2 support. atalkd.conf
759 from previous version will not work!
761 * afpd now has better AFS support. In particular, the configuration
762 for AFS was made much easier; a number of Kerberos-related
763 byte-ordering and time problems were found; clear-text passwords
764 were added (thanks to geeb@umich.edu).
766 * afpd now handles Unix permissions much better (thanks to
769 * There are many, many more changes, but most are small bug fixes.
771 Changes from the 1.2 release:
772 =============================
774 * The Sun support now uses loadable kernel modules (a la VDDRV)
775 instead of binary patches. As such, it should work on any sunos
776 greater than 4.1, and is confirmed to work under 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
778 * The DEC support no longer requires source. It also runs under
779 ultrix 4.1 and 4.2. It still requires patching your kernel, but the
780 patches are limited to those files available to binary-only sites
781 -- primarily hooks for things like netatalk.
783 * The etc.rc script now uses changes made to nbprgstr (see below).
785 * aecho now takes machine names on the command line.
787 * nbplkup now takes a command line argument specifying the number of
788 responses to accept. It also takes its defaults from the NBPLKUP
789 environment variable.
791 * nbprgstr may be used to register a name at any requested port.
793 * afpd now logs if an illegal shell is used during login, instead of
794 silently denying service.
796 * A bug in afpd which caused position information for the directory
797 children of the root of a volume to be ignored has been fixed.
799 * Several typos in afpd which would cause include files necessary to
800 ultrix to be skipped have been fixed.
802 * atalkd will no long propagate routes to networks whose zone
805 * atalkd no longer dumps core if it receives a ZIP GetMyZone request
806 from a network whose zone it doesn't know. (Since this currently
807 can only happen from off net, it's not precisely a legal request.)
809 * pap and papd (optionally) no longer check the connection id in PAP
810 DATA responses. Both also maintain the function code in non-first-packet
811 PAP DATA responses. These changes are work-arounds to deal with
812 certain AppleTalk printer cards, notably the BridgePort LocalTalk
813 card for HP LJIIISIs.
815 * pap no longer sends an EOF response to each PAP SENDDATA request,
818 * A bug in papd which would cause it to return a random value when
819 printing the procset to a piped printer has been fixed.
821 * A bug relating to NBP on reverse-endian machines has been fixed.
823 * atp_rsel() from libatalk now returns a correct value even if it
824 hasn't recieved anything yet.
826 * atalk_addr() from libatalk no longer accepts addresses in octal
827 format, since AppleTalk addresses can have leading zeros. Also it
828 checks that the separator character is a '.'.
830 * Pseudo man pages for nbplkup, nbprgstr, and nbpunrgstr, have been
833 * The example in the psf(8) man page is now correct.
835 * The man pages for changed commands have been updated.
837 * The README files for various machine have been updated
