-Draft 2.1
-
NEW
===
Protocol level:
-AFP3.2
-IPV6
-
-afpd uses an in memory temporary DB if can't open the volume's database
+* AFP 3.2
+* IPv6
+* Extended Attributes support
+* ACL support with ZFS
+* AppleTalk support in afpd and AppleTalk daemons (atalkd and papd) are disabled by default
+
+afpd:
+* default CNID backend is "dbd"
+* enable live debugging with SIGINT
+* afpd uses an in memory temporary DB if can't open the volume's database, but currently this only
+ works with the "cbd" or "tdb" backends not with the default "dbd".
+
+atalkd:
+* atalkd: workaround for broken Linux 2.6 AT kernel module:
+ Linux 2.6 sends broadcast queries to the first available socket which is in our case
+ the last configured one. atalkd now tries to find the right one.
+ Note: now a misconfigured or plugged router can broadcast a wrong route !
Tools:
+* dbd: "dbd" CNID database and volume maintanance and intergrity check utility
+* apple_dump: dump AppleDouble files
-NOT NEW
-=======
-Bonjour

-drawback:
