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