4 * UPD: Improve --enable-fhs. [Olaf Hering]
5 * FIX: Codepage file maccode.koi8-r is now correctly cleaned.
6 * FIX: Fix init script location on SuSE. [Olaf]
11 * FIX: pap looks at the STDOUT file descriptor to see if it's connected to
12 a tty, instead of STDIN.
17 * UPD: Removed --with-catsearch option from configure and enable FPCatSearch
19 * UPD: The dbpath argument does now support variable substitution.
20 * FIX: Build fix for non-GNU-C compilers in libatalk/util/logger.c.
21 * FIX: Two directories with the same name but different case confused the
23 * FIX: The ROOT_PARENT directory could get invalidated.
28 * NEW: Long file name mangling support.
29 * NEW: Improved log file support.
30 * NEW: Server-side find capability ("FPCatSearch")
31 * NEW: Concurrent datastore (CDB) is now the default CNID datastore. This
32 should be heavily tested in a multiuser environment.
33 * NEW: Variable substitution support has been added for the dbpath AppleVolume
35 * UPD: CNID DID handling is now enabled by default.
36 * FIX: Various bug and build fixes as well as code cleanups.
41 * NEW: Allow afpd debugging to be enabled by sending the afpd process
43 * NEW: Allow SLP to be disabled per afpd process by adding a new -noslp flag
45 * FIX: Use server name (if not NULL) for the SLP URL.
46 * FIX: papd: buffer overflow during config file read (Olaf Hering)
51 * FIX: File open read only and then read write (aka pb with Illustrator).
52 * FIX: Problems with unexpected EOF when reading files on a ddp connection
53 Photoshop, old finder.
54 * FIX: --with-nls-dir option does now work
59 * UPD: Extend the --disable-shell-check functionality to ignore users
60 with _no_ shell. Also, send a log message if a user is refused login
61 based on the fact that they have no shell.
62 * UPD: Autoconf updates.
63 * UPD: Tru64 afpd authentication updates.
64 * UPD: As always: lots of minor code cleanups.
65 * FIX: Problems with Photoshop trying to open image files has been
67 * FIX: Preserve special permission bits when creating or modifying
69 * FIX: afp_deleteid() now deletes the specified file and not the parent
71 * FIX: papd does now announce that it supports binary data to its clients.
72 * FIX: NetBSD ELF support.
73 * FIX: acleandir.rc is now installed in the bin directory.
74 * FIX: megatron does now compile even if compiled with -DDEBUG.
75 * FIX: Clean up some syslog messages.
80 * NEW: NetBSD support contributed by David Rankin and NetBSD contributors.
81 This includes a new configure option --enable-netbsd.
82 * NEW: Add the -client_polling afpd.conf flag to allow for clients to poll
83 the server every 10 seconds for open window updates. Currently
84 this is the only way to get asynchronous directory updates.
85 * UPD: Use separate macro for AFS configure check.
86 * UPD: Some Perl scripts are now (partially) auto-generated. This improves
87 out-of-the-box usage of Netatalk.
88 * UPD: Solaris Kernel Makefile is now auto-generated. This fixes some path
89 issues, but isn't perfect, yet. Added some Solaris compatibility
90 fixes to the Kernel sources, too.
91 * UPD: CNID DB code sync'd with the current CVS version. NOTE: Using this
92 code requires you to delete _all_ existing .AppleDB directories in
93 order to avoid database corruption!
94 * FIX: The file AppleVolumes.system contained wrong line breaks so that
95 not all file types were properly recognized.
96 * FIX: AFS compilation would fail due to a misnamed variable.
97 * FIX: SLP configure check was wrong so SLP did not compile.
98 * FIX: Fix the way quotas are handled under certain situations.
99 * FIX: Do not enable debugging code if debugging option is not set.
100 * FIX: Some problems with wrongly assigned DIDs were fixed.
101 * FIX: Various bug fixes and code cleanups.
106 * NEW: Added a program called cnid_didname_verify that can be used to
107 verify the consistency of the CNID database.
108 * NEW: New afpd option: -timeout. Warning: This still doesn't do what it's
110 * UPD: Code cleanups and compatibility fixes to macusers.
111 * UPD: AppleVolumes.system was cleaned up.
112 * FIX: Really fix Tru64 compilation (see last entry).
113 * FIX: Hand correct error value back to AFP client when deleting files or
115 * FIX: Leading or trailing spaces are now forbidden on volumes that have
116 the AFPVOL_MSWINDOWS flag set.
117 * FIX: Minor code cleanups and warning fixes.
118 * FIX: Make quota support work on FreeBSD.
123 * FIX: Compilation on Tru64 systems was broken, since libtool's acinclude.m4
124 file on the packagers system did not contain the necessary patch.
125 * FIX: On some systems, atalkd refuses to start, since it couldn't detect
126 any interfaces. This was caused by an overzealous validity check.
131 * FIX: contrib/shell_utils/lp2pap.sh was erased when "make clean" was called.
132 Now we distribute lp2pap.sh.tmpl instead, and lp2pap.sh is automatically
133 generated during package build.
134 * FIX: Some platforms (notably Tru64) don't have the snprintf() call, which
135 was used in etc/afp/afp_config.c. This call was replaced by sprintf()
136 and prior bounds checking.
138 Changes from the 1.4b1 release:
140 Fixed the maximum free/total volume size in afpd.
142 Made ~ the default volume in afpd.
144 Fixed pid file handling and changed setpgrp() to setpgid() in afpd,
147 Added code to afpd to set the Unix file time stamps with utime().
149 Fixed a bug in papd's printcap code which limited it to 15 or so
152 Fixed papd's handling of piped printers.
154 Fixed papd's handling of bad job names.
156 Fixed atalkd to send NBP LKUP packets from NBP port.
158 Added "sync;sync;sync" to Solaris kinstall to help with streams
161 Added nlocalrts to streams ddp.conf. Thanks Thomas Tornblom.
163 Fixed signed extension infinite loop in Solaris module.
165 Moved all the config files to .../config.
167 Changes from the 1.3.3 release:
169 Added code from Sun Microsystems, Inc (OPCOM) for Solaris support.
172 Added support for FreeBSD, mostly changes by Mark Dawson and Julian
175 All sorts of other stuff.
177 Changes from the 1.3.1 release:
179 Added options to psf's filter names to support accounting on HPs.
180 !!! NOTE: The location of the filters has changed, see the man
183 Added code from Alan Cox to support Linux.
185 Rewrote papd. Now handles dropped connections better.
186 Configuration has been modernized. !!! NOTE: The format of the
187 configuration file has changed, but NOT THE NAME.
189 Added Kerberos support to papd.
191 atalkd now removes routes on a SIGTERM. Still can't just restart
194 Changed atalkd and the kernel driver to remove a hack added to
195 support sending to 0.255. Now the kernel will allow multiple open
196 sockets with the same port, so long as the addess associated with
197 the port is different. atalkd now opens a socket for each port on
200 atalkd now rewrites its configuration file. If no configuration
201 file is given, one will be generated. Permissions on the new
202 configuration file will be inherited from the old one. If there is
203 no old one, permissions default to 644. Won't rewrite the file if
204 the owner doesn't have write permission.
206 Removed support for the "AFS Kerberos UAM", in favor of the
207 "AuthMan UAM". Kerberos support should now be much more
210 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause incorrect group calculations
213 Fixed a bug in afpd which causes SimpleText and some other
214 applications to silently fail to write. There's also a bug in
215 MacOS, but we can't fix that.
217 Fixed a bad interaction with afpd and AFS which would cause file
218 writes to not propogate between AFS clients.
220 !!! CHANGED the name(s) of afpd's config files. The new files are
221 AppleVolumes.system and AppleVolumes.default. If AppleVolumes.system
222 exists, it is always read, AppleVolumes.default is only read if the
223 user has no AppleVolumes file. Included a flag "-u" to indicate
224 which file has precedence. "-u" user wins, otherwise ".system"
227 Rewrote the AppleVolumes parsing code. Now works.
229 Added a filename extension mapping to afpd. User always takes
230 precedence, regardless of the "-u" flag. Code to change the type
231 of all Unix files contributed by Kee Hinckley <nazgul@utopia.com>.
233 afpd now supports both UFS and AFS volumes simultaneously. It also
234 uses access() to attempt to calculate reasonable Mac permissions
237 Changed reporting of file times. Files that are written from Unix
238 now update the Mac's idea of the files modification time. Unix
239 mtime is now reported instead of ctime.
241 Added support for a new UAM to afpd. This requires that client
242 Macs have MacTCP and AuthMan installed. Should make running afpd
245 Removed code so that otherwise valid volumes for which the mounting
246 user has no permission will appear in the volume selection dialog
247 on the Mac gray-ed out.
249 Added code from Chris Metcalf of MIT to the AppleDouble library
250 which improves permission inheritance.
252 Added code from G. Paul Ziemba of Alantec, Inc to better report
253 errors in psf. Also changed psf to use syslog for errors that
254 users aren't interested in.
256 Added information to psf's man page to better explain the
257 interaction between psf, pap, and lpd.
259 Make psf/pap/psa do accounting when it's turnes on in
262 Changed pap's error message when there is no printer specified on
263 the command line and no .paprc is found. Also heavily modified
264 pap's man page to reflect changes in the "new" version of pap,
265 including moving it from section 8 to section 1.
267 Fixed a byte-order bug in pap's sequence numbers. Doubt if pap has
268 ever worked right on little endian machines!
270 Added a flag to pap to optionally close before receiving EOF from
271 the printer. Off by default. psf calls pap with this option on.
273 Added timeouts to the nbp library calls. This means that processes
274 won't hang when atalkd dies during boot, thus hanging your
277 Changes from the 1.3 release:
279 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause APPL mappings to contain both
280 mac and unix path names. The fixed code will handle the old
281 (corrupted) database.
283 Fixed a *very* serious bug which would cause files to be corrupted
284 when copying to afpd.
286 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause replies to icon writes to
287 contain the written icon.
289 Filled in the function code switch in afpd. Previously, a hacker
290 could probably have used afpd to get unauthorized access to a
291 machine running afpd.
293 Fixed a bug in the asp portion of libatalk.a which could cause the
294 malloc()/free() database to be corrupted.
296 Fixed a bug in atalkd's zip query code. With this bug, only the
297 first N % 255 nets get queried. However, since nets bigger than
298 255 are usually pretty unstable, the unqueried for nets will
299 eventually get done, when N drops by one.
301 Suppressed a spurious error ("route: No such process") in atalkd.
303 Changes from the 1.2.1 release:
305 atalkd is completely rewritten for phase 2 support. atalkd.conf
306 from previous version will not work!
308 afpd now has better AFS support. In particular, the configuration
309 for AFS was made much easier; a number of Kerberos-related
310 byte-ordering and time problems were found; clear-text passwords
311 were added (thanks to geeb@umich.edu).
313 afpd now handles Unix permissions much better (thanks to
316 There are many, many more changes, but most are small bug fixes.
318 Changes from the 1.2 release:
320 The Sun support now uses loadable kernel modules (a la VDDRV)
321 instead of binary patches. As such, it should work on any sunos
322 greater than 4.1, and is confirmed to work under 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
324 The DEC support no longer requires source. It also runs under
325 ultrix 4.1 and 4.2. It still requires patching your kernel, but the
326 patches are limited to those files available to binary-only sites
327 -- primarily hooks for things like netatalk.
329 The etc.rc script now uses changes made to nbprgstr (see below).
331 aecho now takes machine names on the command line.
333 nbplkup now takes a command line argument specifying the number of
334 responses to accept. It also takes its defaults from the NBPLKUP
335 environment variable.
337 nbprgstr may be used to register a name at any requested port.
339 afpd now logs if an illegal shell is used during login, instead of
340 silently denying service.
342 A bug in afpd which caused position information for the directory
343 children of the root of a volume to be ignored has been fixed.
345 Several typos in afpd which would cause include files necessary to
346 ultrix to be skipped have been fixed.
348 atalkd will no long propagate routes to networks whose zone
351 atalkd no longer dumps core if it receives a ZIP GetMyZone request
352 from a network whose zone it doesn't know. (Since this currently
353 can only happen from off net, it's not precisely a legal request.)
355 pap and papd (optionally) no longer check the connection id in PAP
356 DATA responses. Both also maintain the function code in non-first-packet
357 PAP DATA responses. These changes are work-arounds to deal with
358 certain AppleTalk printer cards, notably the BridgePort LocalTalk
359 card for HP LJIIISIs.
361 pap no longer sends an EOF response to each PAP SENDDATA request,
364 A bug in papd which would cause it to return a random value when
365 printing the procset to a piped printer has been fixed.
367 A bug relating to NBP on reverse-endian machines has been fixed.
369 atp_rsel() from libatalk now returns a correct value even if it
370 hasn't recieved anything yet.
372 atalk_addr() from libatalk no longer accepts addresses in octal
373 format, since AppleTalk addresses can have leading zeros. Also it
374 checks that the separator character is a '.'.
376 Pseudo man pages for nbplkup, nbprgstr, and nbpunrgstr, have been
379 The example in the psf(8) man page is now correct.
381 The man pages for changed commands have been updated.
383 The README files for various machine have been updated
