508 * NEW: afpd: SRVLOC register with IP address instead of hostname by default,
509 if -fqdn is specified register with FQDN. Added extended character
510 support for SLP, non ASCII characters are escaped Added ZONE to registration.
511 * NEW: atalkd: Make atalkd set interfaces to ALLMULTI on linux by default.

524 Changes in 2.0-alpha1
525 =====================
527 * NEW: afpd: We now support AFP 3.x, which features long filenames and
529 * NEW: CNID handling completely reworked. We now use per Volume configurable
531 * NEW: Two new daemons, cnid_metad and cnid_dbd to implement the dbd CNID backend.
532 Using Berkeley DB transactions with the CNID database should be safe now.
533 * NEW: The on disk format of the CNID database has changed. We now support 8 byte
534 device and inode numbers and an additinal type field that should make
535 detection of file/directory changes outside of afpd more robust.
536 Changed from HASH to BTREE access which speeds things up in certain cases
537 and reduces database file size.
538 * NEW: Long file name mangling is now implemented using the CNID ID, so no database is
539 required to map names to mangled names. This is the same method Mac OS X uses.
540 * NEW: New format (version 2) for Metadata in AppleDouble files. We record device and
541 inode of the underlying file as well as the CNID. This can be used for recovery
542 and speeds up access to the CNID.
543 * NEW: The old NLS codepage system has been removed. It was replaced by an iconv
544 based conversion system, which provides much more flexibility.
545 * NEW: You can safely use extended characters in volume names and for SIGUSR2 messaging.
546 * NEW: The default volume encoding is UTF-8.
547 * NEW: All documentation is now generated using DocBook. New or completely reworked
548 sections about installing, setting up and upgrading Netatalk replace various
549 README files in the doc directory.
550 * FIX: Protect afpd better against unexpected signals during updates of the CNID
551 database with the cdb backend. This makes database corruption less likely.
552 * FIX: All manpages have been reviewed and should now be up to date.
553 * FIX: Tons of bug fixes since 1.6.4. Please consults the CVS change log for details.
558 * NEW: afpd: Using the mswindows option now implicitly specifies usedots.
560 * UPD: afpd.8: Updated the option documentation.

614 (Fixes an OSX kernel panic.)
615 * FIX: CNID, folders' DID handling with concurrent access or symlinks.
616 (Fixes an endless loop in afpd.)
621 * FIX: pap looks at the STDOUT file descriptor to see if it's connected to
622 a tty, instead of STDIN.
627 * UPD: Removed --with-catsearch option from configure and enable FPCatSearch
629 * UPD: The dbpath argument does now support variable substitution.
630 * FIX: Build fix for non-GNU-C compilers in libatalk/util/logger.c.
631 * FIX: Two directories with the same name but different case confused the

638 * NEW: Long file name mangling support.
639 * NEW: Improved log file support.
640 * NEW: Server-side find capability ("FPCatSearch")
641 * NEW: Concurrent datastore (CDB) is now the default CNID datastore. This
642 should be heavily tested in a multiuser environment.
643 * NEW: Variable substitution support has been added for the dbpath AppleVolume
645 * UPD: CNID DID handling is now enabled by default.
646 * FIX: Various bug and build fixes as well as code cleanups.
651 * NEW: Allow afpd debugging to be enabled by sending the afpd process
653 * NEW: Allow SLP to be disabled per afpd process by adding a new -noslp flag
655 * FIX: Use server name (if not NULL) for the SLP URL.
656 * FIX: papd: buffer overflow during config file read (Olaf Hering)
661 * FIX: File open read only and then read write (aka pb with Illustrator).
662 * FIX: Problems with unexpected EOF when reading files on a ddp connection
663 Photoshop, old finder.
664 * FIX: --with-nls-dir option does now work
669 * UPD: Extend the --disable-shell-check functionality to ignore users

672 * UPD: Autoconf updates.
673 * UPD: Tru64 afpd authentication updates.
674 * UPD: As always: lots of minor code cleanups.
675 * FIX: Problems with Photoshop trying to open image files has been
677 * FIX: Preserve special permission bits when creating or modifying
679 * FIX: afp_deleteid() now deletes the specified file and not the parent
681 * FIX: papd does now announce that it supports binary data to its clients.
682 * FIX: NetBSD ELF support.
683 * FIX: acleandir.rc is now installed in the bin directory.
684 * FIX: megatron does now compile even if compiled with -DDEBUG.
685 * FIX: Clean up some syslog messages.
690 * NEW: NetBSD support contributed by David Rankin and NetBSD contributors.
691 This includes a new configure option --enable-netbsd.
692 * NEW: Add the -client_polling afpd.conf flag to allow for clients to poll
693 the server every 10 seconds for open window updates. Currently
694 this is the only way to get asynchronous directory updates.
695 * UPD: Use separate macro for AFS configure check.
696 * UPD: Some Perl scripts are now (partially) auto-generated. This improves
697 out-of-the-box usage of Netatalk.
698 * UPD: Solaris Kernel Makefile is now auto-generated. This fixes some path
699 issues, but isn't perfect, yet. Added some Solaris compatibility
700 fixes to the Kernel sources, too.
701 * UPD: CNID DB code sync'd with the current CVS version. NOTE: Using this
702 code requires you to delete _all_ existing .AppleDB directories in
703 order to avoid database corruption!
704 * FIX: The file AppleVolumes.system contained wrong line breaks so that
705 not all file types were properly recognized.
706 * FIX: AFS compilation would fail due to a misnamed variable.
707 * FIX: SLP configure check was wrong so SLP did not compile.
708 * FIX: Fix the way quotas are handled under certain situations.
709 * FIX: Do not enable debugging code if debugging option is not set.
710 * FIX: Some problems with wrongly assigned DIDs were fixed.
711 * FIX: Various bug fixes and code cleanups.
716 * NEW: Added a program called cnid_didname_verify that can be used to
717 verify the consistency of the CNID database.
718 * NEW: New afpd option: -timeout. Warning: This still doesn't do what it's
720 * UPD: Code cleanups and compatibility fixes to macusers.
721 * UPD: AppleVolumes.system was cleaned up.
722 * FIX: Really fix Tru64 compilation (see last entry).
723 * FIX: Hand correct error value back to AFP client when deleting files or
725 * FIX: Leading or trailing spaces are now forbidden on volumes that have
726 the AFPVOL_MSWINDOWS flag set.
727 * FIX: Minor code cleanups and warning fixes.
728 * FIX: Make quota support work on FreeBSD.
733 * FIX: Compilation on Tru64 systems was broken, since libtool's acinclude.m4
734 file on the packagers system did not contain the necessary patch.
735 * FIX: On some systems, atalkd refuses to start, since it couldn't detect
736 any interfaces. This was caused by an overzealous validity check.
741 * FIX: contrib/shell_utils/lp2pap.sh was erased when "make clean" was called.
742 Now we distribute lp2pap.sh.tmpl instead, and lp2pap.sh is automatically
743 generated during package build.
744 * FIX: Some platforms (notably Tru64) don't have the snprintf() call, which
745 was used in etc/afp/afp_config.c. This call was replaced by sprintf()
746 and prior bounds checking.
748 Changes from the 1.4b1 release:
749 ===============================
751 * Fixed the maximum free/total volume size in afpd.
753 * Made ~ the default volume in afpd.
755 * Fixed pid file handling and changed setpgrp() to setpgid() in afpd,
758 * Added code to afpd to set the Unix file time stamps with utime().
760 * Fixed a bug in papd's printcap code which limited it to 15 or so
763 * Fixed papd's handling of piped printers.
765 * Fixed papd's handling of bad job names.
767 * Fixed atalkd to send NBP LKUP packets from NBP port.
769 * Added "sync;sync;sync" to Solaris kinstall to help with streams
772 * Added nlocalrts to streams ddp.conf. Thanks Thomas Tornblom.
774 * Fixed signed extension infinite loop in Solaris module.
776 * Moved all the config files to .../config.
778 Changes from the 1.3.3 release:
779 ===============================
781 * Added code from Sun Microsystems, Inc (OPCOM) for Solaris support.
784 * Added support for FreeBSD, mostly changes by Mark Dawson and Julian
787 * All sorts of other stuff.
789 Changes from the 1.3.1 release:
790 ===============================
792 * Added options to psf's filter names to support accounting on HPs.
793 !!! NOTE: The location of the filters has changed, see the man
796 * Added code from Alan Cox to support Linux.
798 * Rewrote papd. Now handles dropped connections better.
799 Configuration has been modernized. !!! NOTE: The format of the
800 configuration file has changed, but NOT THE NAME.
802 * Added Kerberos support to papd.
804 * atalkd now removes routes on a SIGTERM. Still can't just restart
807 * Changed atalkd and the kernel driver to remove a hack added to
808 support sending to 0.255. Now the kernel will allow multiple open
809 sockets with the same port, so long as the addess associated with
810 the port is different. atalkd now opens a socket for each port on
813 * atalkd now rewrites its configuration file. If no configuration
814 file is given, one will be generated. Permissions on the new
815 configuration file will be inherited from the old one. If there is
816 no old one, permissions default to 644. Won't rewrite the file if
817 the owner doesn't have write permission.
819 * Removed support for the "AFS Kerberos UAM", in favor of the
820 "AuthMan UAM". Kerberos support should now be much more
823 * Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause incorrect group calculations
826 * Fixed a bug in afpd which causes SimpleText and some other
827 applications to silently fail to write. There's also a bug in
828 MacOS, but we can't fix that.
830 * Fixed a bad interaction with afpd and AFS which would cause file
831 writes to not propogate between AFS clients.
833 * !!! CHANGED the name(s) of afpd's config files. The new files are
834 AppleVolumes.system and AppleVolumes.default. If AppleVolumes.system
835 exists, it is always read, AppleVolumes.default is only read if the
836 user has no AppleVolumes file. Included a flag "-u" to indicate
837 which file has precedence. "-u" user wins, otherwise ".system"
840 * Rewrote the AppleVolumes parsing code. Now works.
842 * Added a filename extension mapping to afpd. User always takes
843 precedence, regardless of the "-u" flag. Code to change the type
844 of all Unix files contributed by Kee Hinckley <nazgul@utopia.com>.
846 * afpd now supports both UFS and AFS volumes simultaneously. It also
847 uses access() to attempt to calculate reasonable Mac permissions
850 * Changed reporting of file times. Files that are written from Unix
851 now update the Mac's idea of the files modification time. Unix
852 mtime is now reported instead of ctime.
854 * Added support for a new UAM to afpd. This requires that client
855 Macs have MacTCP and AuthMan installed. Should make running afpd
858 * Removed code so that otherwise valid volumes for which the mounting
859 user has no permission will appear in the volume selection dialog
860 on the Mac gray-ed out.
862 * Added code from Chris Metcalf of MIT to the AppleDouble library
863 which improves permission inheritance.
865 * Added code from G. Paul Ziemba of Alantec, Inc to better report
866 errors in psf. Also changed psf to use syslog for errors that
867 users aren't interested in.
869 * Added information to psf's man page to better explain the
870 interaction between psf, pap, and lpd.
872 * Make psf/pap/psa do accounting when it's turnes on in
875 * Changed pap's error message when there is no printer specified on
876 the command line and no .paprc is found. Also heavily modified
877 pap's man page to reflect changes in the "new" version of pap,
878 including moving it from section 8 to section 1.
880 * Fixed a byte-order bug in pap's sequence numbers. Doubt if pap has
881 ever worked right on little endian machines!
883 * Added a flag to pap to optionally close before receiving EOF from
884 the printer. Off by default. psf calls pap with this option on.
886 * Added timeouts to the nbp library calls. This means that processes
887 won't hang when atalkd dies during boot, thus hanging your
890 Changes from the 1.3 release:
891 =============================
893 * Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause APPL mappings to contain both
894 mac and unix path names. The fixed code will handle the old
895 (corrupted) database.
897 * Fixed a *very* serious bug which would cause files to be corrupted
898 when copying to afpd.
900 * Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause replies to icon writes to
901 contain the written icon.
903 * Filled in the function code switch in afpd. Previously, a hacker
904 could probably have used afpd to get unauthorized access to a
905 machine running afpd.
907 * Fixed a bug in the asp portion of libatalk.a which could cause the
908 malloc()/free() database to be corrupted.
910 * Fixed a bug in atalkd's zip query code. With this bug, only the
911 first N % 255 nets get queried. However, since nets bigger than
912 255 are usually pretty unstable, the unqueried for nets will
913 eventually get done, when N drops by one.
915 * Suppressed a spurious error ("route: No such process") in atalkd.
917 Changes from the 1.2.1 release:
918 ===============================
920 * atalkd is completely rewritten for phase 2 support. atalkd.conf
921 from previous version will not work!
923 * afpd now has better AFS support. In particular, the configuration
924 for AFS was made much easier; a number of Kerberos-related
925 byte-ordering and time problems were found; clear-text passwords
926 were added (thanks to geeb@umich.edu).
928 * afpd now handles Unix permissions much better (thanks to
931 * There are many, many more changes, but most are small bug fixes.
933 Changes from the 1.2 release:
934 =============================
936 * The Sun support now uses loadable kernel modules (a la VDDRV)
937 instead of binary patches. As such, it should work on any sunos
938 greater than 4.1, and is confirmed to work under 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
940 * The DEC support no longer requires source. It also runs under
941 ultrix 4.1 and 4.2. It still requires patching your kernel, but the
942 patches are limited to those files available to binary-only sites
943 -- primarily hooks for things like netatalk.
945 * The etc.rc script now uses changes made to nbprgstr (see below).
947 * aecho now takes machine names on the command line.
949 * nbplkup now takes a command line argument specifying the number of
950 responses to accept. It also takes its defaults from the NBPLKUP
951 environment variable.
953 * nbprgstr may be used to register a name at any requested port.
955 * afpd now logs if an illegal shell is used during login, instead of
956 silently denying service.
958 * A bug in afpd which caused position information for the directory
959 children of the root of a volume to be ignored has been fixed.
961 * Several typos in afpd which would cause include files necessary to
962 ultrix to be skipped have been fixed.
964 * atalkd will no long propagate routes to networks whose zone
967 * atalkd no longer dumps core if it receives a ZIP GetMyZone request
968 from a network whose zone it doesn't know. (Since this currently
969 can only happen from off net, it's not precisely a legal request.)
971 * pap and papd (optionally) no longer check the connection id in PAP
972 DATA responses. Both also maintain the function code in non-first-packet
973 PAP DATA responses. These changes are work-arounds to deal with
974 certain AppleTalk printer cards, notably the BridgePort LocalTalk
975 card for HP LJIIISIs.
977 * pap no longer sends an EOF response to each PAP SENDDATA request,
980 * A bug in papd which would cause it to return a random value when
981 printing the procset to a piped printer has been fixed.
983 * A bug relating to NBP on reverse-endian machines has been fixed.
985 * atp_rsel() from libatalk now returns a correct value even if it
986 hasn't recieved anything yet.
988 * atalk_addr() from libatalk no longer accepts addresses in octal
989 format, since AppleTalk addresses can have leading zeros. Also it
990 checks that the separator character is a '.'.
992 * Pseudo man pages for nbplkup, nbprgstr, and nbpunrgstr, have been
995 * The example in the psf(8) man page is now correct.
997 * The man pages for changed commands have been updated.
999 * The README files for various machine have been updated
