136 This includes a new configure option --enable-netbsd.
137 * NEW: Add the -client_polling afpd.conf flag to allow for clients to poll
138 the server every 10 seconds for open window updates. Currently
139 this is the only way to get asynchronous directory updates.
140 * UPD: Use separate macro for AFS configure check.
141 * UPD: Some Perl scripts are now (partially) auto-generated. This improves
142 out-of-the-box usage of Netatalk.
143 * UPD: Solaris Kernel Makefile is now auto-generated. This fixes some path
144 issues, but isn't perfect, yet. Added some Solaris compatibility
145 fixes to the Kernel sources, too.
146 * UPD: CNID DB code sync'd with the current CVS version. NOTE: Using this
147 code requires you to delete _all_ existing .AppleDB directories in
148 order to avoid database corruption!
149 * FIX: The file AppleVolumes.system contained wrong line breaks so that
150 not all file types were properly recognized.
151 * FIX: AFS compilation would fail due to a misnamed variable.
152 * FIX: SLP configure check was wrong so SLP did not compile.
153 * FIX: Fix the way quotas are handled under certain situations.
154 * FIX: Do not enable debugging code if debugging option is not set.
155 * FIX: Some problems with wrongly assigned DIDs were fixed.

161 * NEW: Added a program called cnid_didname_verify that can be used to
162 verify the consistency of the CNID database.

165 * UPD: Code cleanups and compatibility fixes to macusers.
166 * UPD: AppleVolumes.system was cleaned up.
167 * FIX: Really fix Tru64 compilation (see last entry).

170 * FIX: Leading or trailing spaces are now forbidden on volumes that have
171 the AFPVOL_MSWINDOWS flag set.
172 * FIX: Minor code cleanups and warning fixes.
173 * FIX: Make quota support work on FreeBSD.
178 * FIX: Compilation on Tru64 systems was broken, since libtool's acinclude.m4
179 file on the packagers system did not contain the necessary patch.
180 * FIX: On some systems, atalkd refuses to start, since it couldn't detect
181 any interfaces. This was caused by an overzealous validity check.
186 * FIX: contrib/shell_utils/lp2pap.sh was erased when "make clean" was called.
187 Now we distribute lp2pap.sh.tmpl instead, and lp2pap.sh is automatically
188 generated during package build.
189 * FIX: Some platforms (notably Tru64) don't have the snprintf() call, which
190 was used in etc/afp/afp_config.c. This call was replaced by sprintf()
191 and prior bounds checking.
193 Changes from the 1.4b1 release:
195 Fixed the maximum free/total volume size in afpd.
197 Made ~ the default volume in afpd.
199 Fixed pid file handling and changed setpgrp() to setpgid() in afpd,
202 Added code to afpd to set the Unix file time stamps with utime().
204 Fixed a bug in papd's printcap code which limited it to 15 or so
207 Fixed papd's handling of piped printers.
209 Fixed papd's handling of bad job names.
211 Fixed atalkd to send NBP LKUP packets from NBP port.
213 Added "sync;sync;sync" to Solaris kinstall to help with streams
216 Added nlocalrts to streams ddp.conf. Thanks Thomas Tornblom.
218 Fixed signed extension infinite loop in Solaris module.
220 Moved all the config files to .../config.
222 Changes from the 1.3.3 release:
224 Added code from Sun Microsystems, Inc (OPCOM) for Solaris support.
227 Added support for FreeBSD, mostly changes by Mark Dawson and Julian
230 All sorts of other stuff.
232 Changes from the 1.3.1 release:
234 Added options to psf's filter names to support accounting on HPs.
235 !!! NOTE: The location of the filters has changed, see the man
238 Added code from Alan Cox to support Linux.
240 Rewrote papd. Now handles dropped connections better.
241 Configuration has been modernized. !!! NOTE: The format of the
242 configuration file has changed, but NOT THE NAME.
244 Added Kerberos support to papd.
246 atalkd now removes routes on a SIGTERM. Still can't just restart
249 Changed atalkd and the kernel driver to remove a hack added to
250 support sending to 0.255. Now the kernel will allow multiple open
251 sockets with the same port, so long as the addess associated with
252 the port is different. atalkd now opens a socket for each port on
255 atalkd now rewrites its configuration file. If no configuration
256 file is given, one will be generated. Permissions on the new
257 configuration file will be inherited from the old one. If there is
258 no old one, permissions default to 644. Won't rewrite the file if
259 the owner doesn't have write permission.
261 Removed support for the "AFS Kerberos UAM", in favor of the
262 "AuthMan UAM". Kerberos support should now be much more
265 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause incorrect group calculations
268 Fixed a bug in afpd which causes SimpleText and some other
269 applications to silently fail to write. There's also a bug in
270 MacOS, but we can't fix that.
272 Fixed a bad interaction with afpd and AFS which would cause file
273 writes to not propogate between AFS clients.
275 !!! CHANGED the name(s) of afpd's config files. The new files are
276 AppleVolumes.system and AppleVolumes.default. If AppleVolumes.system
277 exists, it is always read, AppleVolumes.default is only read if the
278 user has no AppleVolumes file. Included a flag "-u" to indicate
279 which file has precedence. "-u" user wins, otherwise ".system"
282 Rewrote the AppleVolumes parsing code. Now works.
284 Added a filename extension mapping to afpd. User always takes
285 precedence, regardless of the "-u" flag. Code to change the type
286 of all Unix files contributed by Kee Hinckley <nazgul@utopia.com>.
288 afpd now supports both UFS and AFS volumes simultaneously. It also
289 uses access() to attempt to calculate reasonable Mac permissions
292 Changed reporting of file times. Files that are written from Unix
293 now update the Mac's idea of the files modification time. Unix
294 mtime is now reported instead of ctime.
296 Added support for a new UAM to afpd. This requires that client
297 Macs have MacTCP and AuthMan installed. Should make running afpd
300 Removed code so that otherwise valid volumes for which the mounting
301 user has no permission will appear in the volume selection dialog
302 on the Mac gray-ed out.
304 Added code from Chris Metcalf of MIT to the AppleDouble library
305 which improves permission inheritance.
307 Added code from G. Paul Ziemba of Alantec, Inc to better report
308 errors in psf. Also changed psf to use syslog for errors that
309 users aren't interested in.
311 Added information to psf's man page to better explain the
312 interaction between psf, pap, and lpd.
314 Make psf/pap/psa do accounting when it's turnes on in
317 Changed pap's error message when there is no printer specified on
318 the command line and no .paprc is found. Also heavily modified
319 pap's man page to reflect changes in the "new" version of pap,
320 including moving it from section 8 to section 1.
322 Fixed a byte-order bug in pap's sequence numbers. Doubt if pap has
323 ever worked right on little endian machines!
325 Added a flag to pap to optionally close before receiving EOF from
326 the printer. Off by default. psf calls pap with this option on.
328 Added timeouts to the nbp library calls. This means that processes
329 won't hang when atalkd dies during boot, thus hanging your
332 Changes from the 1.3 release:
334 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause APPL mappings to contain both
335 mac and unix path names. The fixed code will handle the old
336 (corrupted) database.
338 Fixed a *very* serious bug which would cause files to be corrupted
339 when copying to afpd.
341 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause replies to icon writes to
342 contain the written icon.
344 Filled in the function code switch in afpd. Previously, a hacker
345 could probably have used afpd to get unauthorized access to a
346 machine running afpd.
348 Fixed a bug in the asp portion of libatalk.a which could cause the
349 malloc()/free() database to be corrupted.
351 Fixed a bug in atalkd's zip query code. With this bug, only the
352 first N % 255 nets get queried. However, since nets bigger than
353 255 are usually pretty unstable, the unqueried for nets will
354 eventually get done, when N drops by one.
356 Suppressed a spurious error ("route: No such process") in atalkd.
358 Changes from the 1.2.1 release:
360 atalkd is completely rewritten for phase 2 support. atalkd.conf
361 from previous version will not work!
363 afpd now has better AFS support. In particular, the configuration
364 for AFS was made much easier; a number of Kerberos-related
365 byte-ordering and time problems were found; clear-text passwords
366 were added (thanks to geeb@umich.edu).
368 afpd now handles Unix permissions much better (thanks to
371 There are many, many more changes, but most are small bug fixes.
373 Changes from the 1.2 release:
375 The Sun support now uses loadable kernel modules (a la VDDRV)
376 instead of binary patches. As such, it should work on any sunos
377 greater than 4.1, and is confirmed to work under 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
379 The DEC support no longer requires source. It also runs under
380 ultrix 4.1 and 4.2. It still requires patching your kernel, but the
381 patches are limited to those files available to binary-only sites
382 -- primarily hooks for things like netatalk.
384 The etc.rc script now uses changes made to nbprgstr (see below).
386 aecho now takes machine names on the command line.
388 nbplkup now takes a command line argument specifying the number of
389 responses to accept. It also takes its defaults from the NBPLKUP
390 environment variable.
392 nbprgstr may be used to register a name at any requested port.
394 afpd now logs if an illegal shell is used during login, instead of
395 silently denying service.
397 A bug in afpd which caused position information for the directory
398 children of the root of a volume to be ignored has been fixed.
400 Several typos in afpd which would cause include files necessary to
401 ultrix to be skipped have been fixed.
403 atalkd will no long propagate routes to networks whose zone
406 atalkd no longer dumps core if it receives a ZIP GetMyZone request
407 from a network whose zone it doesn't know. (Since this currently
408 can only happen from off net, it's not precisely a legal request.)
410 pap and papd (optionally) no longer check the connection id in PAP
411 DATA responses. Both also maintain the function code in non-first-packet
412 PAP DATA responses. These changes are work-arounds to deal with
413 certain AppleTalk printer cards, notably the BridgePort LocalTalk
414 card for HP LJIIISIs.
416 pap no longer sends an EOF response to each PAP SENDDATA request,
419 A bug in papd which would cause it to return a random value when
420 printing the procset to a piped printer has been fixed.
422 A bug relating to NBP on reverse-endian machines has been fixed.
424 atp_rsel() from libatalk now returns a correct value even if it
425 hasn't recieved anything yet.
427 atalk_addr() from libatalk no longer accepts addresses in octal
428 format, since AppleTalk addresses can have leading zeros. Also it
429 checks that the separator character is a '.'.
431 Pseudo man pages for nbplkup, nbprgstr, and nbpunrgstr, have been
434 The example in the psf(8) man page is now correct.
436 The man pages for changed commands have been updated.
438 The README files for various machine have been updated
