4 * FIX: Codepage file maccode.koi8-r is now correctly cleaned.
9 * FIX: pap looks at the STDOUT file descriptor to see if it's connected to
10 a tty, instead of STDIN.
15 * UPD: Removed --with-catsearch option from configure and enable FPCatSearch
17 * UPD: The dbpath argument does now support variable substitution.
18 * FIX: Build fix for non-GNU-C compilers in libatalk/util/logger.c.
19 * FIX: Two directories with the same name but different case confused the
21 * FIX: The ROOT_PARENT directory could get invalidated.
26 * NEW: Long file name mangling support.
27 * NEW: Improved log file support.
28 * NEW: Server-side find capability ("FPCatSearch")
29 * NEW: Concurrent datastore (CDB) is now the default CNID datastore. This
30 should be heavily tested in a multiuser environment.
31 * NEW: Variable substitution support has been added for the dbpath AppleVolume
33 * UPD: CNID DID handling is now enabled by default.
34 * FIX: Various bug and build fixes as well as code cleanups.
39 * NEW: Allow afpd debugging to be enabled by sending the afpd process
41 * NEW: Allow SLP to be disabled per afpd process by adding a new -noslp flag
43 * FIX: Use server name (if not NULL) for the SLP URL.
44 * FIX: papd: buffer overflow during config file read (Olaf Hering)
49 * FIX: File open read only and then read write (aka pb with Illustrator).
50 * FIX: Problems with unexpected EOF when reading files on a ddp connection
51 Photoshop, old finder.
52 * FIX: --with-nls-dir option does now work
57 * UPD: Extend the --disable-shell-check functionality to ignore users
58 with _no_ shell. Also, send a log message if a user is refused login
59 based on the fact that they have no shell.
60 * UPD: Autoconf updates.
61 * UPD: Tru64 afpd authentication updates.
62 * UPD: As always: lots of minor code cleanups.
63 * FIX: Problems with Photoshop trying to open image files has been
65 * FIX: Preserve special permission bits when creating or modifying
67 * FIX: afp_deleteid() now deletes the specified file and not the parent
69 * FIX: papd does now announce that it supports binary data to its clients.
70 * FIX: NetBSD ELF support.
71 * FIX: acleandir.rc is now installed in the bin directory.
72 * FIX: megatron does now compile even if compiled with -DDEBUG.
73 * FIX: Clean up some syslog messages.
78 * NEW: NetBSD support contributed by David Rankin and NetBSD contributors.
79 This includes a new configure option --enable-netbsd.
80 * NEW: Add the -client_polling afpd.conf flag to allow for clients to poll
81 the server every 10 seconds for open window updates. Currently
82 this is the only way to get asynchronous directory updates.
83 * UPD: Use separate macro for AFS configure check.
84 * UPD: Some Perl scripts are now (partially) auto-generated. This improves
85 out-of-the-box usage of Netatalk.
86 * UPD: Solaris Kernel Makefile is now auto-generated. This fixes some path
87 issues, but isn't perfect, yet. Added some Solaris compatibility
88 fixes to the Kernel sources, too.
89 * UPD: CNID DB code sync'd with the current CVS version. NOTE: Using this
90 code requires you to delete _all_ existing .AppleDB directories in
91 order to avoid database corruption!
92 * FIX: The file AppleVolumes.system contained wrong line breaks so that
93 not all file types were properly recognized.
94 * FIX: AFS compilation would fail due to a misnamed variable.
95 * FIX: SLP configure check was wrong so SLP did not compile.
96 * FIX: Fix the way quotas are handled under certain situations.
97 * FIX: Do not enable debugging code if debugging option is not set.
98 * FIX: Some problems with wrongly assigned DIDs were fixed.
99 * FIX: Various bug fixes and code cleanups.
104 * NEW: Added a program called cnid_didname_verify that can be used to
105 verify the consistency of the CNID database.
106 * NEW: New afpd option: -timeout. Warning: This still doesn't do what it's
108 * UPD: Code cleanups and compatibility fixes to macusers.
109 * UPD: AppleVolumes.system was cleaned up.
110 * FIX: Really fix Tru64 compilation (see last entry).
111 * FIX: Hand correct error value back to AFP client when deleting files or
113 * FIX: Leading or trailing spaces are now forbidden on volumes that have
114 the AFPVOL_MSWINDOWS flag set.
115 * FIX: Minor code cleanups and warning fixes.
116 * FIX: Make quota support work on FreeBSD.
121 * FIX: Compilation on Tru64 systems was broken, since libtool's acinclude.m4
122 file on the packagers system did not contain the necessary patch.
123 * FIX: On some systems, atalkd refuses to start, since it couldn't detect
124 any interfaces. This was caused by an overzealous validity check.
129 * FIX: contrib/shell_utils/lp2pap.sh was erased when "make clean" was called.
130 Now we distribute lp2pap.sh.tmpl instead, and lp2pap.sh is automatically
131 generated during package build.
132 * FIX: Some platforms (notably Tru64) don't have the snprintf() call, which
133 was used in etc/afp/afp_config.c. This call was replaced by sprintf()
134 and prior bounds checking.
136 Changes from the 1.4b1 release:
138 Fixed the maximum free/total volume size in afpd.
140 Made ~ the default volume in afpd.
142 Fixed pid file handling and changed setpgrp() to setpgid() in afpd,
145 Added code to afpd to set the Unix file time stamps with utime().
147 Fixed a bug in papd's printcap code which limited it to 15 or so
150 Fixed papd's handling of piped printers.
152 Fixed papd's handling of bad job names.
154 Fixed atalkd to send NBP LKUP packets from NBP port.
156 Added "sync;sync;sync" to Solaris kinstall to help with streams
159 Added nlocalrts to streams ddp.conf. Thanks Thomas Tornblom.
161 Fixed signed extension infinite loop in Solaris module.
163 Moved all the config files to .../config.
165 Changes from the 1.3.3 release:
167 Added code from Sun Microsystems, Inc (OPCOM) for Solaris support.
170 Added support for FreeBSD, mostly changes by Mark Dawson and Julian
173 All sorts of other stuff.
175 Changes from the 1.3.1 release:
177 Added options to psf's filter names to support accounting on HPs.
178 !!! NOTE: The location of the filters has changed, see the man
181 Added code from Alan Cox to support Linux.
183 Rewrote papd. Now handles dropped connections better.
184 Configuration has been modernized. !!! NOTE: The format of the
185 configuration file has changed, but NOT THE NAME.
187 Added Kerberos support to papd.
189 atalkd now removes routes on a SIGTERM. Still can't just restart
192 Changed atalkd and the kernel driver to remove a hack added to
193 support sending to 0.255. Now the kernel will allow multiple open
194 sockets with the same port, so long as the addess associated with
195 the port is different. atalkd now opens a socket for each port on
198 atalkd now rewrites its configuration file. If no configuration
199 file is given, one will be generated. Permissions on the new
200 configuration file will be inherited from the old one. If there is
201 no old one, permissions default to 644. Won't rewrite the file if
202 the owner doesn't have write permission.
204 Removed support for the "AFS Kerberos UAM", in favor of the
205 "AuthMan UAM". Kerberos support should now be much more
208 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause incorrect group calculations
211 Fixed a bug in afpd which causes SimpleText and some other
212 applications to silently fail to write. There's also a bug in
213 MacOS, but we can't fix that.
215 Fixed a bad interaction with afpd and AFS which would cause file
216 writes to not propogate between AFS clients.
218 !!! CHANGED the name(s) of afpd's config files. The new files are
219 AppleVolumes.system and AppleVolumes.default. If AppleVolumes.system
220 exists, it is always read, AppleVolumes.default is only read if the
221 user has no AppleVolumes file. Included a flag "-u" to indicate
222 which file has precedence. "-u" user wins, otherwise ".system"
225 Rewrote the AppleVolumes parsing code. Now works.
227 Added a filename extension mapping to afpd. User always takes
228 precedence, regardless of the "-u" flag. Code to change the type
229 of all Unix files contributed by Kee Hinckley <nazgul@utopia.com>.
231 afpd now supports both UFS and AFS volumes simultaneously. It also
232 uses access() to attempt to calculate reasonable Mac permissions
235 Changed reporting of file times. Files that are written from Unix
236 now update the Mac's idea of the files modification time. Unix
237 mtime is now reported instead of ctime.
239 Added support for a new UAM to afpd. This requires that client
240 Macs have MacTCP and AuthMan installed. Should make running afpd
243 Removed code so that otherwise valid volumes for which the mounting
244 user has no permission will appear in the volume selection dialog
245 on the Mac gray-ed out.
247 Added code from Chris Metcalf of MIT to the AppleDouble library
248 which improves permission inheritance.
250 Added code from G. Paul Ziemba of Alantec, Inc to better report
251 errors in psf. Also changed psf to use syslog for errors that
252 users aren't interested in.
254 Added information to psf's man page to better explain the
255 interaction between psf, pap, and lpd.
257 Make psf/pap/psa do accounting when it's turnes on in
260 Changed pap's error message when there is no printer specified on
261 the command line and no .paprc is found. Also heavily modified
262 pap's man page to reflect changes in the "new" version of pap,
263 including moving it from section 8 to section 1.
265 Fixed a byte-order bug in pap's sequence numbers. Doubt if pap has
266 ever worked right on little endian machines!
268 Added a flag to pap to optionally close before receiving EOF from
269 the printer. Off by default. psf calls pap with this option on.
271 Added timeouts to the nbp library calls. This means that processes
272 won't hang when atalkd dies during boot, thus hanging your
275 Changes from the 1.3 release:
277 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause APPL mappings to contain both
278 mac and unix path names. The fixed code will handle the old
279 (corrupted) database.
281 Fixed a *very* serious bug which would cause files to be corrupted
282 when copying to afpd.
284 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause replies to icon writes to
285 contain the written icon.
287 Filled in the function code switch in afpd. Previously, a hacker
288 could probably have used afpd to get unauthorized access to a
289 machine running afpd.
291 Fixed a bug in the asp portion of libatalk.a which could cause the
292 malloc()/free() database to be corrupted.
294 Fixed a bug in atalkd's zip query code. With this bug, only the
295 first N % 255 nets get queried. However, since nets bigger than
296 255 are usually pretty unstable, the unqueried for nets will
297 eventually get done, when N drops by one.
299 Suppressed a spurious error ("route: No such process") in atalkd.
301 Changes from the 1.2.1 release:
303 atalkd is completely rewritten for phase 2 support. atalkd.conf
304 from previous version will not work!
306 afpd now has better AFS support. In particular, the configuration
307 for AFS was made much easier; a number of Kerberos-related
308 byte-ordering and time problems were found; clear-text passwords
309 were added (thanks to geeb@umich.edu).
311 afpd now handles Unix permissions much better (thanks to
314 There are many, many more changes, but most are small bug fixes.
316 Changes from the 1.2 release:
318 The Sun support now uses loadable kernel modules (a la VDDRV)
319 instead of binary patches. As such, it should work on any sunos
320 greater than 4.1, and is confirmed to work under 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
322 The DEC support no longer requires source. It also runs under
323 ultrix 4.1 and 4.2. It still requires patching your kernel, but the
324 patches are limited to those files available to binary-only sites
325 -- primarily hooks for things like netatalk.
327 The etc.rc script now uses changes made to nbprgstr (see below).
329 aecho now takes machine names on the command line.
331 nbplkup now takes a command line argument specifying the number of
332 responses to accept. It also takes its defaults from the NBPLKUP
333 environment variable.
335 nbprgstr may be used to register a name at any requested port.
337 afpd now logs if an illegal shell is used during login, instead of
338 silently denying service.
340 A bug in afpd which caused position information for the directory
341 children of the root of a volume to be ignored has been fixed.
343 Several typos in afpd which would cause include files necessary to
344 ultrix to be skipped have been fixed.
346 atalkd will no long propagate routes to networks whose zone
349 atalkd no longer dumps core if it receives a ZIP GetMyZone request
350 from a network whose zone it doesn't know. (Since this currently
351 can only happen from off net, it's not precisely a legal request.)
353 pap and papd (optionally) no longer check the connection id in PAP
354 DATA responses. Both also maintain the function code in non-first-packet
355 PAP DATA responses. These changes are work-arounds to deal with
356 certain AppleTalk printer cards, notably the BridgePort LocalTalk
357 card for HP LJIIISIs.
359 pap no longer sends an EOF response to each PAP SENDDATA request,
362 A bug in papd which would cause it to return a random value when
363 printing the procset to a piped printer has been fixed.
365 A bug relating to NBP on reverse-endian machines has been fixed.
367 atp_rsel() from libatalk now returns a correct value even if it
368 hasn't recieved anything yet.
370 atalk_addr() from libatalk no longer accepts addresses in octal
371 format, since AppleTalk addresses can have leading zeros. Also it
372 checks that the separator character is a '.'.
374 Pseudo man pages for nbplkup, nbprgstr, and nbpunrgstr, have been
377 The example in the psf(8) man page is now correct.
379 The man pages for changed commands have been updated.
381 The README files for various machine have been updated
