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