84 * NEW: Two new daemons, cnid_metad and cnid_dbd to implement the dbd CNID backend.
85 Using Berkeley DB transactions with the CNID database should be safe now.
86 * NEW: The on disk format of the CNID database has changed. We now support 8 byte
87 device and inode numbers and an additinal type field that should make
88 detection of file/directory changes outside of afpd more robust.
89 Changed from HASH to BTREE access which speeds things up in certain cases
90 and reduces database file size.
91 * NEW: Long file name mangling is now implemented using the CNID ID, so no database is
92 required to map names to mangled names. This is the same method Mac OS X uses.
93 * NEW: New format (version 2) for Metadata in AppleDouble files. We record device and
94 inode of the underlying file as well as the CNID. This can be used for recovery
95 and speeds up access to the CNID.
96 * NEW: The old NLS codepage system has been removed. It was replaced by an iconv
97 based conversion system, which provides much more flexibility.
98 * NEW: You can safely use extended characters in volume names and for SIGUSR2 messaging.
99 * NEW: The default volume encoding is UTF-8.
100 * NEW: All documentation is now generated using DocBook. New or completely reworked
101 sections about installing, setting up and upgrading Netatalk replace various
102 README files in the doc directory.
103 * FIX: Protect afpd better against unexpected signals during updates of the CNID
104 database with the cdb backend. This makes database corruption less likely.
105 * FIX: All manpages have been reviewed and should now be up to date.
106 * FIX: Tons of bug fixes since 1.6.4. Please consults the CVS change log for details.
111 * NEW: afpd: Using the mswindows option now implicitly specifies usedots.
113 * UPD: afpd.8: Updated the option documentation.

180 * UPD: Removed --with-catsearch option from configure and enable FPCatSearch
182 * UPD: The dbpath argument does now support variable substitution.

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

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