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

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