37 (Fixes an OSX kernel panic.)
38 * FIX: CNID, folders' DID handling with concurrent access or symlinks.
39 (Fixes an endless loop in afpd.)
44 * FIX: pap looks at the STDOUT file descriptor to see if it's connected to

50 * UPD: Removed --with-catsearch option from configure and enable FPCatSearch
52 * UPD: The dbpath argument does now support variable substitution.
53 * FIX: Build fix for non-GNU-C compilers in libatalk/util/logger.c.

56 * FIX: The ROOT_PARENT directory could get invalidated.
61 * NEW: Long file name mangling support.
62 * NEW: Improved log file support.
63 * NEW: Server-side find capability ("FPCatSearch")
64 * NEW: Concurrent datastore (CDB) is now the default CNID datastore. This

66 * NEW: Variable substitution support has been added for the dbpath AppleVolume
68 * UPD: CNID DID handling is now enabled by default.
69 * FIX: Various bug and build fixes as well as code cleanups.

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