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