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

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