114 Changes in 2.0-alpha1
115 =====================
117 * NEW: afpd: We now support AFP 3.x, which features long filenames and
119 * NEW: CNID handling completely reworked. We now use per Volume configurable
121 * NEW: Two new daemons, cnid_metad and cnid_dbd to implement the dbd CNID backend.
122 Using Berkeley DB transactions with the CNID database should be safe now.
123 * NEW: The on disk format of the CNID database has changed. We now support 8 byte
124 device and inode numbers and an additinal type field that should make
125 detection of file/directory changes outside of afpd more robust.
126 Changed from HASH to BTREE access which speeds things up in certain cases
127 and reduces database file size.
128 * NEW: Long file name mangling is now implemented using the CNID ID, so no database is
129 required to map names to mangled names. This is the same method Mac OS X uses.
130 * NEW: New format (version 2) for Metadata in AppleDouble files. We record device and
131 inode of the underlying file as well as the CNID. This can be used for recovery
132 and speeds up access to the CNID.
133 * NEW: The old NLS codepage system has been removed. It was replaced by an iconv
134 based conversion system, which provides much more flexibility.
135 * NEW: You can safely use extended characters in volume names and for SIGUSR2 messaging.
136 * NEW: The default volume encoding is UTF-8.
137 * NEW: All documentation is now generated using DocBook. New or completely reworked
138 sections about installing, setting up and upgrading Netatalk replace various
139 README files in the doc directory.
140 * FIX: Protect afpd better against unexpected signals during updates of the CNID
141 database with the cdb backend. This makes database corruption less likely.
142 * FIX: All manpages have been reviewed and should now be up to date.
143 * FIX: Tons of bug fixes since 1.6.4. Please consults the CVS change log for details.
148 * NEW: afpd: Using the mswindows option now implicitly specifies usedots.
150 * UPD: afpd.8: Updated the option documentation.

205 * FIX: CNID, folders' DID handling with concurrent access or symlinks.
206 (Fixes an endless loop in afpd.)
211 * FIX: pap looks at the STDOUT file descriptor to see if it's connected to
212 a tty, instead of STDIN.
217 * UPD: Removed --with-catsearch option from configure and enable FPCatSearch
219 * UPD: The dbpath argument does now support variable substitution.
220 * FIX: Build fix for non-GNU-C compilers in libatalk/util/logger.c.
221 * FIX: Two directories with the same name but different case confused the
223 * FIX: The ROOT_PARENT directory could get invalidated.
228 * NEW: Long file name mangling support.
229 * NEW: Improved log file support.
230 * NEW: Server-side find capability ("FPCatSearch")
231 * NEW: Concurrent datastore (CDB) is now the default CNID datastore. This
232 should be heavily tested in a multiuser environment.
233 * NEW: Variable substitution support has been added for the dbpath AppleVolume
235 * UPD: CNID DID handling is now enabled by default.
236 * FIX: Various bug and build fixes as well as code cleanups.
241 * NEW: Allow afpd debugging to be enabled by sending the afpd process
243 * NEW: Allow SLP to be disabled per afpd process by adding a new -noslp flag
245 * FIX: Use server name (if not NULL) for the SLP URL.
246 * FIX: papd: buffer overflow during config file read (Olaf Hering)
251 * FIX: File open read only and then read write (aka pb with Illustrator).
252 * FIX: Problems with unexpected EOF when reading files on a ddp connection
253 Photoshop, old finder.
254 * FIX: --with-nls-dir option does now work
259 * UPD: Extend the --disable-shell-check functionality to ignore users
260 with _no_ shell. Also, send a log message if a user is refused login
261 based on the fact that they have no shell.
262 * UPD: Autoconf updates.
263 * UPD: Tru64 afpd authentication updates.
264 * UPD: As always: lots of minor code cleanups.
265 * FIX: Problems with Photoshop trying to open image files has been
267 * FIX: Preserve special permission bits when creating or modifying
269 * FIX: afp_deleteid() now deletes the specified file and not the parent
271 * FIX: papd does now announce that it supports binary data to its clients.
272 * FIX: NetBSD ELF support.
273 * FIX: acleandir.rc is now installed in the bin directory.
274 * FIX: megatron does now compile even if compiled with -DDEBUG.
275 * FIX: Clean up some syslog messages.
280 * NEW: NetBSD support contributed by David Rankin and NetBSD contributors.
281 This includes a new configure option --enable-netbsd.
282 * NEW: Add the -client_polling afpd.conf flag to allow for clients to poll
283 the server every 10 seconds for open window updates. Currently
284 this is the only way to get asynchronous directory updates.
285 * UPD: Use separate macro for AFS configure check.
286 * UPD: Some Perl scripts are now (partially) auto-generated. This improves
287 out-of-the-box usage of Netatalk.
288 * UPD: Solaris Kernel Makefile is now auto-generated. This fixes some path
289 issues, but isn't perfect, yet. Added some Solaris compatibility
290 fixes to the Kernel sources, too.
291 * UPD: CNID DB code sync'd with the current CVS version. NOTE: Using this
292 code requires you to delete _all_ existing .AppleDB directories in
293 order to avoid database corruption!
294 * FIX: The file AppleVolumes.system contained wrong line breaks so that
295 not all file types were properly recognized.
296 * FIX: AFS compilation would fail due to a misnamed variable.
297 * FIX: SLP configure check was wrong so SLP did not compile.
298 * FIX: Fix the way quotas are handled under certain situations.
299 * FIX: Do not enable debugging code if debugging option is not set.
300 * FIX: Some problems with wrongly assigned DIDs were fixed.
301 * FIX: Various bug fixes and code cleanups.
306 * NEW: Added a program called cnid_didname_verify that can be used to
307 verify the consistency of the CNID database.
308 * NEW: New afpd option: -timeout. Warning: This still doesn't do what it's
310 * UPD: Code cleanups and compatibility fixes to macusers.
311 * UPD: AppleVolumes.system was cleaned up.
312 * FIX: Really fix Tru64 compilation (see last entry).
313 * FIX: Hand correct error value back to AFP client when deleting files or
315 * FIX: Leading or trailing spaces are now forbidden on volumes that have
316 the AFPVOL_MSWINDOWS flag set.
317 * FIX: Minor code cleanups and warning fixes.
318 * FIX: Make quota support work on FreeBSD.
323 * FIX: Compilation on Tru64 systems was broken, since libtool's acinclude.m4
324 file on the packagers system did not contain the necessary patch.
325 * FIX: On some systems, atalkd refuses to start, since it couldn't detect
326 any interfaces. This was caused by an overzealous validity check.
331 * FIX: contrib/shell_utils/lp2pap.sh was erased when "make clean" was called.
332 Now we distribute lp2pap.sh.tmpl instead, and lp2pap.sh is automatically
333 generated during package build.
334 * FIX: Some platforms (notably Tru64) don't have the snprintf() call, which
335 was used in etc/afp/afp_config.c. This call was replaced by sprintf()
336 and prior bounds checking.
338 Changes from the 1.4b1 release:
340 Fixed the maximum free/total volume size in afpd.
342 Made ~ the default volume in afpd.
344 Fixed pid file handling and changed setpgrp() to setpgid() in afpd,
347 Added code to afpd to set the Unix file time stamps with utime().
349 Fixed a bug in papd's printcap code which limited it to 15 or so
352 Fixed papd's handling of piped printers.
354 Fixed papd's handling of bad job names.
356 Fixed atalkd to send NBP LKUP packets from NBP port.
358 Added "sync;sync;sync" to Solaris kinstall to help with streams
361 Added nlocalrts to streams ddp.conf. Thanks Thomas Tornblom.
363 Fixed signed extension infinite loop in Solaris module.
365 Moved all the config files to .../config.
367 Changes from the 1.3.3 release:
369 Added code from Sun Microsystems, Inc (OPCOM) for Solaris support.
372 Added support for FreeBSD, mostly changes by Mark Dawson and Julian
375 All sorts of other stuff.
377 Changes from the 1.3.1 release:
379 Added options to psf's filter names to support accounting on HPs.
380 !!! NOTE: The location of the filters has changed, see the man
383 Added code from Alan Cox to support Linux.
385 Rewrote papd. Now handles dropped connections better.
386 Configuration has been modernized. !!! NOTE: The format of the
387 configuration file has changed, but NOT THE NAME.
389 Added Kerberos support to papd.
391 atalkd now removes routes on a SIGTERM. Still can't just restart
394 Changed atalkd and the kernel driver to remove a hack added to
395 support sending to 0.255. Now the kernel will allow multiple open
396 sockets with the same port, so long as the addess associated with
397 the port is different. atalkd now opens a socket for each port on
400 atalkd now rewrites its configuration file. If no configuration
401 file is given, one will be generated. Permissions on the new
402 configuration file will be inherited from the old one. If there is
403 no old one, permissions default to 644. Won't rewrite the file if
404 the owner doesn't have write permission.
406 Removed support for the "AFS Kerberos UAM", in favor of the
407 "AuthMan UAM". Kerberos support should now be much more
410 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause incorrect group calculations
413 Fixed a bug in afpd which causes SimpleText and some other
414 applications to silently fail to write. There's also a bug in
415 MacOS, but we can't fix that.
417 Fixed a bad interaction with afpd and AFS which would cause file
418 writes to not propogate between AFS clients.
420 !!! CHANGED the name(s) of afpd's config files. The new files are
421 AppleVolumes.system and AppleVolumes.default. If AppleVolumes.system
422 exists, it is always read, AppleVolumes.default is only read if the
423 user has no AppleVolumes file. Included a flag "-u" to indicate
424 which file has precedence. "-u" user wins, otherwise ".system"
427 Rewrote the AppleVolumes parsing code. Now works.
429 Added a filename extension mapping to afpd. User always takes
430 precedence, regardless of the "-u" flag. Code to change the type
431 of all Unix files contributed by Kee Hinckley <nazgul@utopia.com>.
433 afpd now supports both UFS and AFS volumes simultaneously. It also
434 uses access() to attempt to calculate reasonable Mac permissions
437 Changed reporting of file times. Files that are written from Unix
438 now update the Mac's idea of the files modification time. Unix
439 mtime is now reported instead of ctime.
441 Added support for a new UAM to afpd. This requires that client
442 Macs have MacTCP and AuthMan installed. Should make running afpd
445 Removed code so that otherwise valid volumes for which the mounting
446 user has no permission will appear in the volume selection dialog
447 on the Mac gray-ed out.
449 Added code from Chris Metcalf of MIT to the AppleDouble library
450 which improves permission inheritance.
452 Added code from G. Paul Ziemba of Alantec, Inc to better report
453 errors in psf. Also changed psf to use syslog for errors that
454 users aren't interested in.
456 Added information to psf's man page to better explain the
457 interaction between psf, pap, and lpd.
459 Make psf/pap/psa do accounting when it's turnes on in
462 Changed pap's error message when there is no printer specified on
463 the command line and no .paprc is found. Also heavily modified
464 pap's man page to reflect changes in the "new" version of pap,
465 including moving it from section 8 to section 1.
467 Fixed a byte-order bug in pap's sequence numbers. Doubt if pap has
468 ever worked right on little endian machines!
470 Added a flag to pap to optionally close before receiving EOF from
471 the printer. Off by default. psf calls pap with this option on.
473 Added timeouts to the nbp library calls. This means that processes
474 won't hang when atalkd dies during boot, thus hanging your
477 Changes from the 1.3 release:
479 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause APPL mappings to contain both
480 mac and unix path names. The fixed code will handle the old
481 (corrupted) database.
483 Fixed a *very* serious bug which would cause files to be corrupted
484 when copying to afpd.
486 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause replies to icon writes to
487 contain the written icon.
489 Filled in the function code switch in afpd. Previously, a hacker
490 could probably have used afpd to get unauthorized access to a
491 machine running afpd.
493 Fixed a bug in the asp portion of libatalk.a which could cause the
494 malloc()/free() database to be corrupted.
496 Fixed a bug in atalkd's zip query code. With this bug, only the
497 first N % 255 nets get queried. However, since nets bigger than
498 255 are usually pretty unstable, the unqueried for nets will
499 eventually get done, when N drops by one.
501 Suppressed a spurious error ("route: No such process") in atalkd.
503 Changes from the 1.2.1 release:
505 atalkd is completely rewritten for phase 2 support. atalkd.conf
506 from previous version will not work!
508 afpd now has better AFS support. In particular, the configuration
509 for AFS was made much easier; a number of Kerberos-related
510 byte-ordering and time problems were found; clear-text passwords
511 were added (thanks to geeb@umich.edu).
513 afpd now handles Unix permissions much better (thanks to
516 There are many, many more changes, but most are small bug fixes.
518 Changes from the 1.2 release:
520 The Sun support now uses loadable kernel modules (a la VDDRV)
521 instead of binary patches. As such, it should work on any sunos
522 greater than 4.1, and is confirmed to work under 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
524 The DEC support no longer requires source. It also runs under
525 ultrix 4.1 and 4.2. It still requires patching your kernel, but the
526 patches are limited to those files available to binary-only sites
527 -- primarily hooks for things like netatalk.
529 The etc.rc script now uses changes made to nbprgstr (see below).
531 aecho now takes machine names on the command line.
533 nbplkup now takes a command line argument specifying the number of
534 responses to accept. It also takes its defaults from the NBPLKUP
535 environment variable.
537 nbprgstr may be used to register a name at any requested port.
539 afpd now logs if an illegal shell is used during login, instead of
540 silently denying service.
542 A bug in afpd which caused position information for the directory
543 children of the root of a volume to be ignored has been fixed.
545 Several typos in afpd which would cause include files necessary to
546 ultrix to be skipped have been fixed.
548 atalkd will no long propagate routes to networks whose zone
551 atalkd no longer dumps core if it receives a ZIP GetMyZone request
552 from a network whose zone it doesn't know. (Since this currently
553 can only happen from off net, it's not precisely a legal request.)
555 pap and papd (optionally) no longer check the connection id in PAP
556 DATA responses. Both also maintain the function code in non-first-packet
557 PAP DATA responses. These changes are work-arounds to deal with
558 certain AppleTalk printer cards, notably the BridgePort LocalTalk
559 card for HP LJIIISIs.
561 pap no longer sends an EOF response to each PAP SENDDATA request,
564 A bug in papd which would cause it to return a random value when
565 printing the procset to a piped printer has been fixed.
567 A bug relating to NBP on reverse-endian machines has been fixed.
569 atp_rsel() from libatalk now returns a correct value even if it
570 hasn't recieved anything yet.
572 atalk_addr() from libatalk no longer accepts addresses in octal
573 format, since AppleTalk addresses can have leading zeros. Also it
574 checks that the separator character is a '.'.
576 Pseudo man pages for nbplkup, nbprgstr, and nbpunrgstr, have been
579 The example in the psf(8) man page is now correct.
581 The man pages for changed commands have been updated.
583 The README files for various machine have been updated
