9 (Fixes an OSX kernel panic.)
10 * FIX: CNID, folders' DID handling with concurrent access or symlinks.
11 (Fixes an endless loop in afpd.)
16 * FIX: pap looks at the STDOUT file descriptor to see if it's connected to
17 a tty, instead of STDIN.
22 * UPD: Removed --with-catsearch option from configure and enable FPCatSearch
24 * UPD: The dbpath argument does now support variable substitution.
25 * FIX: Build fix for non-GNU-C compilers in libatalk/util/logger.c.
26 * FIX: Two directories with the same name but different case confused the
28 * FIX: The ROOT_PARENT directory could get invalidated.
33 * NEW: Long file name mangling support.
34 * NEW: Improved log file support.
35 * NEW: Server-side find capability ("FPCatSearch")
36 * NEW: Concurrent datastore (CDB) is now the default CNID datastore. This
37 should be heavily tested in a multiuser environment.
38 * NEW: Variable substitution support has been added for the dbpath AppleVolume
40 * UPD: CNID DID handling is now enabled by default.
41 * FIX: Various bug and build fixes as well as code cleanups.
46 * NEW: Allow afpd debugging to be enabled by sending the afpd process
48 * NEW: Allow SLP to be disabled per afpd process by adding a new -noslp flag
50 * FIX: Use server name (if not NULL) for the SLP URL.
51 * FIX: papd: buffer overflow during config file read (Olaf Hering)
56 * FIX: File open read only and then read write (aka pb with Illustrator).
57 * FIX: Problems with unexpected EOF when reading files on a ddp connection
58 Photoshop, old finder.
59 * FIX: --with-nls-dir option does now work
64 * UPD: Extend the --disable-shell-check functionality to ignore users
65 with _no_ shell. Also, send a log message if a user is refused login
66 based on the fact that they have no shell.
67 * UPD: Autoconf updates.
68 * UPD: Tru64 afpd authentication updates.
69 * UPD: As always: lots of minor code cleanups.
70 * FIX: Problems with Photoshop trying to open image files has been
72 * FIX: Preserve special permission bits when creating or modifying
74 * FIX: afp_deleteid() now deletes the specified file and not the parent
76 * FIX: papd does now announce that it supports binary data to its clients.
77 * FIX: NetBSD ELF support.
78 * FIX: acleandir.rc is now installed in the bin directory.
79 * FIX: megatron does now compile even if compiled with -DDEBUG.
80 * FIX: Clean up some syslog messages.
85 * NEW: NetBSD support contributed by David Rankin and NetBSD contributors.
86 This includes a new configure option --enable-netbsd.
87 * NEW: Add the -client_polling afpd.conf flag to allow for clients to poll
88 the server every 10 seconds for open window updates. Currently
89 this is the only way to get asynchronous directory updates.
90 * UPD: Use separate macro for AFS configure check.
91 * UPD: Some Perl scripts are now (partially) auto-generated. This improves
92 out-of-the-box usage of Netatalk.
93 * UPD: Solaris Kernel Makefile is now auto-generated. This fixes some path
94 issues, but isn't perfect, yet. Added some Solaris compatibility
95 fixes to the Kernel sources, too.
96 * UPD: CNID DB code sync'd with the current CVS version. NOTE: Using this
97 code requires you to delete _all_ existing .AppleDB directories in
98 order to avoid database corruption!
99 * FIX: The file AppleVolumes.system contained wrong line breaks so that
100 not all file types were properly recognized.
101 * FIX: AFS compilation would fail due to a misnamed variable.
102 * FIX: SLP configure check was wrong so SLP did not compile.
103 * FIX: Fix the way quotas are handled under certain situations.
104 * FIX: Do not enable debugging code if debugging option is not set.
105 * FIX: Some problems with wrongly assigned DIDs were fixed.
106 * FIX: Various bug fixes and code cleanups.
111 * NEW: Added a program called cnid_didname_verify that can be used to
112 verify the consistency of the CNID database.
113 * NEW: New afpd option: -timeout. Warning: This still doesn't do what it's
115 * UPD: Code cleanups and compatibility fixes to macusers.
116 * UPD: AppleVolumes.system was cleaned up.
117 * FIX: Really fix Tru64 compilation (see last entry).
118 * FIX: Hand correct error value back to AFP client when deleting files or
120 * FIX: Leading or trailing spaces are now forbidden on volumes that have
121 the AFPVOL_MSWINDOWS flag set.
122 * FIX: Minor code cleanups and warning fixes.
123 * FIX: Make quota support work on FreeBSD.
128 * FIX: Compilation on Tru64 systems was broken, since libtool's acinclude.m4
129 file on the packagers system did not contain the necessary patch.
130 * FIX: On some systems, atalkd refuses to start, since it couldn't detect
131 any interfaces. This was caused by an overzealous validity check.
136 * FIX: contrib/shell_utils/lp2pap.sh was erased when "make clean" was called.
137 Now we distribute lp2pap.sh.tmpl instead, and lp2pap.sh is automatically
138 generated during package build.
139 * FIX: Some platforms (notably Tru64) don't have the snprintf() call, which
140 was used in etc/afp/afp_config.c. This call was replaced by sprintf()
141 and prior bounds checking.
143 Changes from the 1.4b1 release:
145 Fixed the maximum free/total volume size in afpd.
147 Made ~ the default volume in afpd.
149 Fixed pid file handling and changed setpgrp() to setpgid() in afpd,
152 Added code to afpd to set the Unix file time stamps with utime().
154 Fixed a bug in papd's printcap code which limited it to 15 or so
157 Fixed papd's handling of piped printers.
159 Fixed papd's handling of bad job names.
161 Fixed atalkd to send NBP LKUP packets from NBP port.
163 Added "sync;sync;sync" to Solaris kinstall to help with streams
166 Added nlocalrts to streams ddp.conf. Thanks Thomas Tornblom.
168 Fixed signed extension infinite loop in Solaris module.
170 Moved all the config files to .../config.
172 Changes from the 1.3.3 release:
174 Added code from Sun Microsystems, Inc (OPCOM) for Solaris support.
177 Added support for FreeBSD, mostly changes by Mark Dawson and Julian
180 All sorts of other stuff.
182 Changes from the 1.3.1 release:
184 Added options to psf's filter names to support accounting on HPs.
185 !!! NOTE: The location of the filters has changed, see the man
188 Added code from Alan Cox to support Linux.
190 Rewrote papd. Now handles dropped connections better.
191 Configuration has been modernized. !!! NOTE: The format of the
192 configuration file has changed, but NOT THE NAME.
194 Added Kerberos support to papd.
196 atalkd now removes routes on a SIGTERM. Still can't just restart
199 Changed atalkd and the kernel driver to remove a hack added to
200 support sending to 0.255. Now the kernel will allow multiple open
201 sockets with the same port, so long as the addess associated with
202 the port is different. atalkd now opens a socket for each port on
205 atalkd now rewrites its configuration file. If no configuration
206 file is given, one will be generated. Permissions on the new
207 configuration file will be inherited from the old one. If there is
208 no old one, permissions default to 644. Won't rewrite the file if
209 the owner doesn't have write permission.
211 Removed support for the "AFS Kerberos UAM", in favor of the
212 "AuthMan UAM". Kerberos support should now be much more
215 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause incorrect group calculations
218 Fixed a bug in afpd which causes SimpleText and some other
219 applications to silently fail to write. There's also a bug in
220 MacOS, but we can't fix that.
222 Fixed a bad interaction with afpd and AFS which would cause file
223 writes to not propogate between AFS clients.
225 !!! CHANGED the name(s) of afpd's config files. The new files are
226 AppleVolumes.system and AppleVolumes.default. If AppleVolumes.system
227 exists, it is always read, AppleVolumes.default is only read if the
228 user has no AppleVolumes file. Included a flag "-u" to indicate
229 which file has precedence. "-u" user wins, otherwise ".system"
232 Rewrote the AppleVolumes parsing code. Now works.
234 Added a filename extension mapping to afpd. User always takes
235 precedence, regardless of the "-u" flag. Code to change the type
236 of all Unix files contributed by Kee Hinckley <nazgul@utopia.com>.
238 afpd now supports both UFS and AFS volumes simultaneously. It also
239 uses access() to attempt to calculate reasonable Mac permissions
242 Changed reporting of file times. Files that are written from Unix
243 now update the Mac's idea of the files modification time. Unix
244 mtime is now reported instead of ctime.
246 Added support for a new UAM to afpd. This requires that client
247 Macs have MacTCP and AuthMan installed. Should make running afpd
250 Removed code so that otherwise valid volumes for which the mounting
251 user has no permission will appear in the volume selection dialog
252 on the Mac gray-ed out.
254 Added code from Chris Metcalf of MIT to the AppleDouble library
255 which improves permission inheritance.
257 Added code from G. Paul Ziemba of Alantec, Inc to better report
258 errors in psf. Also changed psf to use syslog for errors that
259 users aren't interested in.
261 Added information to psf's man page to better explain the
262 interaction between psf, pap, and lpd.
264 Make psf/pap/psa do accounting when it's turnes on in
267 Changed pap's error message when there is no printer specified on
268 the command line and no .paprc is found. Also heavily modified
269 pap's man page to reflect changes in the "new" version of pap,
270 including moving it from section 8 to section 1.
272 Fixed a byte-order bug in pap's sequence numbers. Doubt if pap has
273 ever worked right on little endian machines!
275 Added a flag to pap to optionally close before receiving EOF from
276 the printer. Off by default. psf calls pap with this option on.
278 Added timeouts to the nbp library calls. This means that processes
279 won't hang when atalkd dies during boot, thus hanging your
282 Changes from the 1.3 release:
284 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause APPL mappings to contain both
285 mac and unix path names. The fixed code will handle the old
286 (corrupted) database.
288 Fixed a *very* serious bug which would cause files to be corrupted
289 when copying to afpd.
291 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause replies to icon writes to
292 contain the written icon.
294 Filled in the function code switch in afpd. Previously, a hacker
295 could probably have used afpd to get unauthorized access to a
296 machine running afpd.
298 Fixed a bug in the asp portion of libatalk.a which could cause the
299 malloc()/free() database to be corrupted.
301 Fixed a bug in atalkd's zip query code. With this bug, only the
302 first N % 255 nets get queried. However, since nets bigger than
303 255 are usually pretty unstable, the unqueried for nets will
304 eventually get done, when N drops by one.
306 Suppressed a spurious error ("route: No such process") in atalkd.
308 Changes from the 1.2.1 release:
310 atalkd is completely rewritten for phase 2 support. atalkd.conf
311 from previous version will not work!
313 afpd now has better AFS support. In particular, the configuration
314 for AFS was made much easier; a number of Kerberos-related
315 byte-ordering and time problems were found; clear-text passwords
316 were added (thanks to geeb@umich.edu).
318 afpd now handles Unix permissions much better (thanks to
321 There are many, many more changes, but most are small bug fixes.
323 Changes from the 1.2 release:
325 The Sun support now uses loadable kernel modules (a la VDDRV)
326 instead of binary patches. As such, it should work on any sunos
327 greater than 4.1, and is confirmed to work under 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
329 The DEC support no longer requires source. It also runs under
330 ultrix 4.1 and 4.2. It still requires patching your kernel, but the
331 patches are limited to those files available to binary-only sites
332 -- primarily hooks for things like netatalk.
334 The etc.rc script now uses changes made to nbprgstr (see below).
336 aecho now takes machine names on the command line.
338 nbplkup now takes a command line argument specifying the number of
339 responses to accept. It also takes its defaults from the NBPLKUP
340 environment variable.
342 nbprgstr may be used to register a name at any requested port.
344 afpd now logs if an illegal shell is used during login, instead of
345 silently denying service.
347 A bug in afpd which caused position information for the directory
348 children of the root of a volume to be ignored has been fixed.
350 Several typos in afpd which would cause include files necessary to
351 ultrix to be skipped have been fixed.
353 atalkd will no long propagate routes to networks whose zone
356 atalkd no longer dumps core if it receives a ZIP GetMyZone request
357 from a network whose zone it doesn't know. (Since this currently
358 can only happen from off net, it's not precisely a legal request.)
360 pap and papd (optionally) no longer check the connection id in PAP
361 DATA responses. Both also maintain the function code in non-first-packet
362 PAP DATA responses. These changes are work-arounds to deal with
363 certain AppleTalk printer cards, notably the BridgePort LocalTalk
364 card for HP LJIIISIs.
366 pap no longer sends an EOF response to each PAP SENDDATA request,
369 A bug in papd which would cause it to return a random value when
370 printing the procset to a piped printer has been fixed.
372 A bug relating to NBP on reverse-endian machines has been fixed.
374 atp_rsel() from libatalk now returns a correct value even if it
375 hasn't recieved anything yet.
377 atalk_addr() from libatalk no longer accepts addresses in octal
378 format, since AppleTalk addresses can have leading zeros. Also it
379 checks that the separator character is a '.'.
381 Pseudo man pages for nbplkup, nbprgstr, and nbpunrgstr, have been
384 The example in the psf(8) man page is now correct.
386 The man pages for changed commands have been updated.
388 The README files for various machine have been updated
