4 * NEW: uniconv tool for converting volume encoding.
5 * NEW: afpd: Make sure getstatus doesn't return loopback address as server IP.
6 * NEW: afpd: Specify USEDOTS with MSWINDOWS implicitely.
7 * NEW: afpd: SRVLOC register with IP address instead of hostname by default,
8 if -fqdn is specified register with FQDN. Added extended character
9 support for SLP, non ASCII characters are escaped Added ZONE to registration.
10 * NEW: atalkd: Make atalkd set interfaces to ALLMULTI on linux by default.
11 * NEW: cnid_metad: Use DB_PRIVATE attribute for dbd backend without transaction.
12 * FIX: afpd: Partial workaround for an OSX client deadlock.
13 * FIX: afpd: Reenumerate folder if db is out of sync in resolveID.
14 * FIX: afpd: Don't modify modification date in copyfile.
15 * FIX: afpd: Variable $v substitution: always use name defined in config files.
16 * FIX: libatalk: Speed optimisation for byte locking was broken on resource fork.
17 * FIX: Solaris 9 compilation.
18 * FIX: Tru64 compilation fixes.
19 * FIX: AFS compilation fixes.
20 * FIX: strncpy bugfix.
21 * FIX: configure, man pages update and small bugfixes.
26 * NEW: afpd: We now support AFP 3.x, which features long filenames and
28 * NEW: CNID handling completely reworked. We now use per Volume configurable
30 * NEW: Two new daemons, cnid_metad and cnid_dbd to implement the dbd CNID backend.
31 Using Berkeley DB transactions with the CNID database should be safe now.
32 * NEW: The on disk format of the CNID database has changed. We now support 8 byte
33 device and inode numbers and an additinal type field that should make
34 detection of file/directory changes outside of afpd more robust.
35 Changed from HASH to BTREE access which speeds things up in certain cases
36 and reduces database file size.
37 * NEW: Long file name mangling is now implemented using the CNID ID, so no database is
38 required to map names to mangled names. This is the same method Mac OS X uses.
39 * NEW: New format (version 2) for Metadata in AppleDouble files. We record device and
40 inode of the underlying file as well as the CNID. This can be used for recovery
41 and speeds up access to the CNID.
42 * NEW: The old NLS codepage system has been removed. It was replaced by an iconv
43 based conversion system, which provides much more flexibility.
44 * NEW: You can safely use extended characters in volume names and for SIGUSR2 messaging.
45 * NEW: The default volume encoding is UTF-8.
46 * NEW: All documentation is now generated using DocBook. New or completely reworked
47 sections about installing, setting up and upgrading Netatalk replace various
48 README files in the doc directory.
49 * FIX: Protect afpd better against unexpected signals during updates of the CNID
50 database with the cdb backend. This makes database corruption less likely.
51 * FIX: All manpages have been reviewed and should now be up to date.
52 * FIX: Tons of bug fixes since 1.6.4. Please consults the CVS change log for details.
57 * NEW: afpd: Using the mswindows option now implicitly specifies usedots.
59 * UPD: afpd.8: Updated the option documentation.

138 * NEW: Improved log file support.
139 * NEW: Server-side find capability ("FPCatSearch")
140 * NEW: Concurrent datastore (CDB) is now the default CNID datastore. This

172 * UPD: Tru64 afpd authentication updates.
173 * UPD: As always: lots of minor code cleanups.
174 * FIX: Problems with Photoshop trying to open image files has been
176 * FIX: Preserve special permission bits when creating or modifying
178 * FIX: afp_deleteid() now deletes the specified file and not the parent
180 * FIX: papd does now announce that it supports binary data to its clients.
181 * FIX: NetBSD ELF support.
182 * FIX: acleandir.rc is now installed in the bin directory.
183 * FIX: megatron does now compile even if compiled with -DDEBUG.
184 * FIX: Clean up some syslog messages.
189 * NEW: NetBSD support contributed by David Rankin and NetBSD contributors.
190 This includes a new configure option --enable-netbsd.
191 * NEW: Add the -client_polling afpd.conf flag to allow for clients to poll
192 the server every 10 seconds for open window updates. Currently
193 this is the only way to get asynchronous directory updates.
194 * UPD: Use separate macro for AFS configure check.
195 * UPD: Some Perl scripts are now (partially) auto-generated. This improves
196 out-of-the-box usage of Netatalk.
197 * UPD: Solaris Kernel Makefile is now auto-generated. This fixes some path
198 issues, but isn't perfect, yet. Added some Solaris compatibility
199 fixes to the Kernel sources, too.
200 * UPD: CNID DB code sync'd with the current CVS version. NOTE: Using this
201 code requires you to delete _all_ existing .AppleDB directories in
202 order to avoid database corruption!
203 * FIX: The file AppleVolumes.system contained wrong line breaks so that
204 not all file types were properly recognized.
205 * FIX: AFS compilation would fail due to a misnamed variable.
206 * FIX: SLP configure check was wrong so SLP did not compile.
207 * FIX: Fix the way quotas are handled under certain situations.
208 * FIX: Do not enable debugging code if debugging option is not set.
209 * FIX: Some problems with wrongly assigned DIDs were fixed.
210 * FIX: Various bug fixes and code cleanups.
215 * NEW: Added a program called cnid_didname_verify that can be used to
216 verify the consistency of the CNID database.
217 * NEW: New afpd option: -timeout. Warning: This still doesn't do what it's
219 * UPD: Code cleanups and compatibility fixes to macusers.
220 * UPD: AppleVolumes.system was cleaned up.
221 * FIX: Really fix Tru64 compilation (see last entry).
222 * FIX: Hand correct error value back to AFP client when deleting files or
224 * FIX: Leading or trailing spaces are now forbidden on volumes that have
225 the AFPVOL_MSWINDOWS flag set.
226 * FIX: Minor code cleanups and warning fixes.
227 * FIX: Make quota support work on FreeBSD.
232 * FIX: Compilation on Tru64 systems was broken, since libtool's acinclude.m4
233 file on the packagers system did not contain the necessary patch.
234 * FIX: On some systems, atalkd refuses to start, since it couldn't detect
235 any interfaces. This was caused by an overzealous validity check.
240 * FIX: contrib/shell_utils/lp2pap.sh was erased when "make clean" was called.
241 Now we distribute lp2pap.sh.tmpl instead, and lp2pap.sh is automatically
242 generated during package build.
243 * FIX: Some platforms (notably Tru64) don't have the snprintf() call, which
244 was used in etc/afp/afp_config.c. This call was replaced by sprintf()
245 and prior bounds checking.
247 Changes from the 1.4b1 release:
249 Fixed the maximum free/total volume size in afpd.
251 Made ~ the default volume in afpd.
253 Fixed pid file handling and changed setpgrp() to setpgid() in afpd,
256 Added code to afpd to set the Unix file time stamps with utime().
258 Fixed a bug in papd's printcap code which limited it to 15 or so
261 Fixed papd's handling of piped printers.
263 Fixed papd's handling of bad job names.
265 Fixed atalkd to send NBP LKUP packets from NBP port.
267 Added "sync;sync;sync" to Solaris kinstall to help with streams
270 Added nlocalrts to streams ddp.conf. Thanks Thomas Tornblom.
272 Fixed signed extension infinite loop in Solaris module.
274 Moved all the config files to .../config.
276 Changes from the 1.3.3 release:
278 Added code from Sun Microsystems, Inc (OPCOM) for Solaris support.
281 Added support for FreeBSD, mostly changes by Mark Dawson and Julian
284 All sorts of other stuff.
286 Changes from the 1.3.1 release:
288 Added options to psf's filter names to support accounting on HPs.
289 !!! NOTE: The location of the filters has changed, see the man
292 Added code from Alan Cox to support Linux.
294 Rewrote papd. Now handles dropped connections better.
295 Configuration has been modernized. !!! NOTE: The format of the
296 configuration file has changed, but NOT THE NAME.
298 Added Kerberos support to papd.
300 atalkd now removes routes on a SIGTERM. Still can't just restart
303 Changed atalkd and the kernel driver to remove a hack added to
304 support sending to 0.255. Now the kernel will allow multiple open
305 sockets with the same port, so long as the addess associated with
306 the port is different. atalkd now opens a socket for each port on
309 atalkd now rewrites its configuration file. If no configuration
310 file is given, one will be generated. Permissions on the new
311 configuration file will be inherited from the old one. If there is
312 no old one, permissions default to 644. Won't rewrite the file if
313 the owner doesn't have write permission.
315 Removed support for the "AFS Kerberos UAM", in favor of the
316 "AuthMan UAM". Kerberos support should now be much more
319 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause incorrect group calculations
322 Fixed a bug in afpd which causes SimpleText and some other
323 applications to silently fail to write. There's also a bug in
324 MacOS, but we can't fix that.
326 Fixed a bad interaction with afpd and AFS which would cause file
327 writes to not propogate between AFS clients.
329 !!! CHANGED the name(s) of afpd's config files. The new files are
330 AppleVolumes.system and AppleVolumes.default. If AppleVolumes.system
331 exists, it is always read, AppleVolumes.default is only read if the
332 user has no AppleVolumes file. Included a flag "-u" to indicate
333 which file has precedence. "-u" user wins, otherwise ".system"
336 Rewrote the AppleVolumes parsing code. Now works.
338 Added a filename extension mapping to afpd. User always takes
339 precedence, regardless of the "-u" flag. Code to change the type
340 of all Unix files contributed by Kee Hinckley <nazgul@utopia.com>.
342 afpd now supports both UFS and AFS volumes simultaneously. It also
343 uses access() to attempt to calculate reasonable Mac permissions
346 Changed reporting of file times. Files that are written from Unix
347 now update the Mac's idea of the files modification time. Unix
348 mtime is now reported instead of ctime.
350 Added support for a new UAM to afpd. This requires that client
351 Macs have MacTCP and AuthMan installed. Should make running afpd
354 Removed code so that otherwise valid volumes for which the mounting
355 user has no permission will appear in the volume selection dialog
356 on the Mac gray-ed out.
358 Added code from Chris Metcalf of MIT to the AppleDouble library
359 which improves permission inheritance.
361 Added code from G. Paul Ziemba of Alantec, Inc to better report
362 errors in psf. Also changed psf to use syslog for errors that
363 users aren't interested in.
365 Added information to psf's man page to better explain the
366 interaction between psf, pap, and lpd.
368 Make psf/pap/psa do accounting when it's turnes on in
371 Changed pap's error message when there is no printer specified on
372 the command line and no .paprc is found. Also heavily modified
373 pap's man page to reflect changes in the "new" version of pap,
374 including moving it from section 8 to section 1.
376 Fixed a byte-order bug in pap's sequence numbers. Doubt if pap has
377 ever worked right on little endian machines!
379 Added a flag to pap to optionally close before receiving EOF from
380 the printer. Off by default. psf calls pap with this option on.
382 Added timeouts to the nbp library calls. This means that processes
383 won't hang when atalkd dies during boot, thus hanging your
386 Changes from the 1.3 release:
388 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause APPL mappings to contain both
389 mac and unix path names. The fixed code will handle the old
390 (corrupted) database.
392 Fixed a *very* serious bug which would cause files to be corrupted
393 when copying to afpd.
395 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause replies to icon writes to
396 contain the written icon.
398 Filled in the function code switch in afpd. Previously, a hacker
399 could probably have used afpd to get unauthorized access to a
400 machine running afpd.
402 Fixed a bug in the asp portion of libatalk.a which could cause the
403 malloc()/free() database to be corrupted.
405 Fixed a bug in atalkd's zip query code. With this bug, only the
406 first N % 255 nets get queried. However, since nets bigger than
407 255 are usually pretty unstable, the unqueried for nets will
408 eventually get done, when N drops by one.
410 Suppressed a spurious error ("route: No such process") in atalkd.
412 Changes from the 1.2.1 release:
414 atalkd is completely rewritten for phase 2 support. atalkd.conf
415 from previous version will not work!
417 afpd now has better AFS support. In particular, the configuration
418 for AFS was made much easier; a number of Kerberos-related
419 byte-ordering and time problems were found; clear-text passwords
420 were added (thanks to geeb@umich.edu).
422 afpd now handles Unix permissions much better (thanks to
425 There are many, many more changes, but most are small bug fixes.
427 Changes from the 1.2 release:
429 The Sun support now uses loadable kernel modules (a la VDDRV)
430 instead of binary patches. As such, it should work on any sunos
431 greater than 4.1, and is confirmed to work under 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
433 The DEC support no longer requires source. It also runs under
434 ultrix 4.1 and 4.2. It still requires patching your kernel, but the
435 patches are limited to those files available to binary-only sites
436 -- primarily hooks for things like netatalk.
438 The etc.rc script now uses changes made to nbprgstr (see below).
440 aecho now takes machine names on the command line.
442 nbplkup now takes a command line argument specifying the number of
443 responses to accept. It also takes its defaults from the NBPLKUP
444 environment variable.
446 nbprgstr may be used to register a name at any requested port.
448 afpd now logs if an illegal shell is used during login, instead of
449 silently denying service.
451 A bug in afpd which caused position information for the directory
452 children of the root of a volume to be ignored has been fixed.
454 Several typos in afpd which would cause include files necessary to
455 ultrix to be skipped have been fixed.
457 atalkd will no long propagate routes to networks whose zone
460 atalkd no longer dumps core if it receives a ZIP GetMyZone request
461 from a network whose zone it doesn't know. (Since this currently
462 can only happen from off net, it's not precisely a legal request.)
464 pap and papd (optionally) no longer check the connection id in PAP
465 DATA responses. Both also maintain the function code in non-first-packet
466 PAP DATA responses. These changes are work-arounds to deal with
467 certain AppleTalk printer cards, notably the BridgePort LocalTalk
468 card for HP LJIIISIs.
470 pap no longer sends an EOF response to each PAP SENDDATA request,
473 A bug in papd which would cause it to return a random value when
474 printing the procset to a piped printer has been fixed.
476 A bug relating to NBP on reverse-endian machines has been fixed.
478 atp_rsel() from libatalk now returns a correct value even if it
479 hasn't recieved anything yet.
481 atalk_addr() from libatalk no longer accepts addresses in octal
482 format, since AppleTalk addresses can have leading zeros. Also it
483 checks that the separator character is a '.'.
485 Pseudo man pages for nbplkup, nbprgstr, and nbpunrgstr, have been
488 The example in the psf(8) man page is now correct.
490 The man pages for changed commands have been updated.
492 The README files for various machine have been updated
