23 * NEW: afpd: Specify USEDOTS with MSWINDOWS implicitely.
24 * NEW: afpd: SRVLOC register with IP address instead of hostname by default,
25 if -fqdn is specified register with FQDN. Added extended character
26 support for SLP, non ASCII characters are escaped Added ZONE to registration.
27 * NEW: atalkd: Make atalkd set interfaces to ALLMULTI on linux by default.
28 * NEW: cnid_metad: Use DB_PRIVATE attribute for dbd backend without transaction.

30 * FIX: afpd: Reenumerate folder if db is out of sync in resolveID.
31 * FIX: afpd: Don't modify modification date in copyfile.

43 * NEW: afpd: We now support AFP 3.x, which features long filenames and
45 * NEW: CNID handling completely reworked. We now use per Volume configurable
47 * NEW: Two new daemons, cnid_metad and cnid_dbd to implement the dbd CNID backend.
48 Using Berkeley DB transactions with the CNID database should be safe now.
49 * NEW: The on disk format of the CNID database has changed. We now support 8 byte
50 device and inode numbers and an additinal type field that should make
51 detection of file/directory changes outside of afpd more robust.
52 Changed from HASH to BTREE access which speeds things up in certain cases
53 and reduces database file size.
54 * NEW: Long file name mangling is now implemented using the CNID ID, so no database is
55 required to map names to mangled names. This is the same method Mac OS X uses.
56 * NEW: New format (version 2) for Metadata in AppleDouble files. We record device and
57 inode of the underlying file as well as the CNID. This can be used for recovery
58 and speeds up access to the CNID.
59 * NEW: The old NLS codepage system has been removed. It was replaced by an iconv
60 based conversion system, which provides much more flexibility.
61 * NEW: You can safely use extended characters in volume names and for SIGUSR2 messaging.
62 * NEW: The default volume encoding is UTF-8.
63 * NEW: All documentation is now generated using DocBook. New or completely reworked
64 sections about installing, setting up and upgrading Netatalk replace various
65 README files in the doc directory.
66 * FIX: Protect afpd better against unexpected signals during updates of the CNID
67 database with the cdb backend. This makes database corruption less likely.
68 * FIX: All manpages have been reviewed and should now be up to date.
69 * FIX: Tons of bug fixes since 1.6.4. Please consults the CVS change log for details.
74 * NEW: afpd: Using the mswindows option now implicitly specifies usedots.
76 * UPD: afpd.8: Updated the option documentation.

155 * NEW: Improved log file support.
156 * NEW: Server-side find capability ("FPCatSearch")
157 * NEW: Concurrent datastore (CDB) is now the default CNID datastore. This

197 * FIX: papd does now announce that it supports binary data to its clients.
198 * FIX: NetBSD ELF support.
199 * FIX: acleandir.rc is now installed in the bin directory.
200 * FIX: megatron does now compile even if compiled with -DDEBUG.
201 * FIX: Clean up some syslog messages.
206 * NEW: NetBSD support contributed by David Rankin and NetBSD contributors.
207 This includes a new configure option --enable-netbsd.
208 * NEW: Add the -client_polling afpd.conf flag to allow for clients to poll
209 the server every 10 seconds for open window updates. Currently
210 this is the only way to get asynchronous directory updates.
211 * UPD: Use separate macro for AFS configure check.
212 * UPD: Some Perl scripts are now (partially) auto-generated. This improves
213 out-of-the-box usage of Netatalk.
214 * UPD: Solaris Kernel Makefile is now auto-generated. This fixes some path
215 issues, but isn't perfect, yet. Added some Solaris compatibility
216 fixes to the Kernel sources, too.
217 * UPD: CNID DB code sync'd with the current CVS version. NOTE: Using this
218 code requires you to delete _all_ existing .AppleDB directories in
219 order to avoid database corruption!
220 * FIX: The file AppleVolumes.system contained wrong line breaks so that
221 not all file types were properly recognized.
222 * FIX: AFS compilation would fail due to a misnamed variable.
223 * FIX: SLP configure check was wrong so SLP did not compile.
224 * FIX: Fix the way quotas are handled under certain situations.
225 * FIX: Do not enable debugging code if debugging option is not set.
226 * FIX: Some problems with wrongly assigned DIDs were fixed.
227 * FIX: Various bug fixes and code cleanups.
232 * NEW: Added a program called cnid_didname_verify that can be used to
233 verify the consistency of the CNID database.
234 * NEW: New afpd option: -timeout. Warning: This still doesn't do what it's
236 * UPD: Code cleanups and compatibility fixes to macusers.
237 * UPD: AppleVolumes.system was cleaned up.
238 * FIX: Really fix Tru64 compilation (see last entry).
239 * FIX: Hand correct error value back to AFP client when deleting files or
241 * FIX: Leading or trailing spaces are now forbidden on volumes that have
242 the AFPVOL_MSWINDOWS flag set.
243 * FIX: Minor code cleanups and warning fixes.
244 * FIX: Make quota support work on FreeBSD.
249 * FIX: Compilation on Tru64 systems was broken, since libtool's acinclude.m4
250 file on the packagers system did not contain the necessary patch.
251 * FIX: On some systems, atalkd refuses to start, since it couldn't detect
252 any interfaces. This was caused by an overzealous validity check.
257 * FIX: contrib/shell_utils/lp2pap.sh was erased when "make clean" was called.
258 Now we distribute lp2pap.sh.tmpl instead, and lp2pap.sh is automatically
259 generated during package build.
260 * FIX: Some platforms (notably Tru64) don't have the snprintf() call, which
261 was used in etc/afp/afp_config.c. This call was replaced by sprintf()
262 and prior bounds checking.
264 Changes from the 1.4b1 release:
266 Fixed the maximum free/total volume size in afpd.
268 Made ~ the default volume in afpd.
270 Fixed pid file handling and changed setpgrp() to setpgid() in afpd,
273 Added code to afpd to set the Unix file time stamps with utime().
275 Fixed a bug in papd's printcap code which limited it to 15 or so
278 Fixed papd's handling of piped printers.
280 Fixed papd's handling of bad job names.
282 Fixed atalkd to send NBP LKUP packets from NBP port.
284 Added "sync;sync;sync" to Solaris kinstall to help with streams
287 Added nlocalrts to streams ddp.conf. Thanks Thomas Tornblom.
289 Fixed signed extension infinite loop in Solaris module.
291 Moved all the config files to .../config.
293 Changes from the 1.3.3 release:
295 Added code from Sun Microsystems, Inc (OPCOM) for Solaris support.
298 Added support for FreeBSD, mostly changes by Mark Dawson and Julian
301 All sorts of other stuff.
303 Changes from the 1.3.1 release:
305 Added options to psf's filter names to support accounting on HPs.
306 !!! NOTE: The location of the filters has changed, see the man
309 Added code from Alan Cox to support Linux.
311 Rewrote papd. Now handles dropped connections better.
312 Configuration has been modernized. !!! NOTE: The format of the
313 configuration file has changed, but NOT THE NAME.
315 Added Kerberos support to papd.
317 atalkd now removes routes on a SIGTERM. Still can't just restart
320 Changed atalkd and the kernel driver to remove a hack added to
321 support sending to 0.255. Now the kernel will allow multiple open
322 sockets with the same port, so long as the addess associated with
323 the port is different. atalkd now opens a socket for each port on
326 atalkd now rewrites its configuration file. If no configuration
327 file is given, one will be generated. Permissions on the new
328 configuration file will be inherited from the old one. If there is
329 no old one, permissions default to 644. Won't rewrite the file if
330 the owner doesn't have write permission.
332 Removed support for the "AFS Kerberos UAM", in favor of the
333 "AuthMan UAM". Kerberos support should now be much more
336 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause incorrect group calculations
339 Fixed a bug in afpd which causes SimpleText and some other
340 applications to silently fail to write. There's also a bug in
341 MacOS, but we can't fix that.
343 Fixed a bad interaction with afpd and AFS which would cause file
344 writes to not propogate between AFS clients.
346 !!! CHANGED the name(s) of afpd's config files. The new files are
347 AppleVolumes.system and AppleVolumes.default. If AppleVolumes.system
348 exists, it is always read, AppleVolumes.default is only read if the
349 user has no AppleVolumes file. Included a flag "-u" to indicate
350 which file has precedence. "-u" user wins, otherwise ".system"
353 Rewrote the AppleVolumes parsing code. Now works.
355 Added a filename extension mapping to afpd. User always takes
356 precedence, regardless of the "-u" flag. Code to change the type
357 of all Unix files contributed by Kee Hinckley <nazgul@utopia.com>.
359 afpd now supports both UFS and AFS volumes simultaneously. It also
360 uses access() to attempt to calculate reasonable Mac permissions
363 Changed reporting of file times. Files that are written from Unix
364 now update the Mac's idea of the files modification time. Unix
365 mtime is now reported instead of ctime.
367 Added support for a new UAM to afpd. This requires that client
368 Macs have MacTCP and AuthMan installed. Should make running afpd
371 Removed code so that otherwise valid volumes for which the mounting
372 user has no permission will appear in the volume selection dialog
373 on the Mac gray-ed out.
375 Added code from Chris Metcalf of MIT to the AppleDouble library
376 which improves permission inheritance.
378 Added code from G. Paul Ziemba of Alantec, Inc to better report
379 errors in psf. Also changed psf to use syslog for errors that
380 users aren't interested in.
382 Added information to psf's man page to better explain the
383 interaction between psf, pap, and lpd.
385 Make psf/pap/psa do accounting when it's turnes on in
388 Changed pap's error message when there is no printer specified on
389 the command line and no .paprc is found. Also heavily modified
390 pap's man page to reflect changes in the "new" version of pap,
391 including moving it from section 8 to section 1.
393 Fixed a byte-order bug in pap's sequence numbers. Doubt if pap has
394 ever worked right on little endian machines!
396 Added a flag to pap to optionally close before receiving EOF from
397 the printer. Off by default. psf calls pap with this option on.
399 Added timeouts to the nbp library calls. This means that processes
400 won't hang when atalkd dies during boot, thus hanging your
403 Changes from the 1.3 release:
405 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause APPL mappings to contain both
406 mac and unix path names. The fixed code will handle the old
407 (corrupted) database.
409 Fixed a *very* serious bug which would cause files to be corrupted
410 when copying to afpd.
412 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause replies to icon writes to
413 contain the written icon.
415 Filled in the function code switch in afpd. Previously, a hacker
416 could probably have used afpd to get unauthorized access to a
417 machine running afpd.
419 Fixed a bug in the asp portion of libatalk.a which could cause the
420 malloc()/free() database to be corrupted.
422 Fixed a bug in atalkd's zip query code. With this bug, only the
423 first N % 255 nets get queried. However, since nets bigger than
424 255 are usually pretty unstable, the unqueried for nets will
425 eventually get done, when N drops by one.
427 Suppressed a spurious error ("route: No such process") in atalkd.
429 Changes from the 1.2.1 release:
431 atalkd is completely rewritten for phase 2 support. atalkd.conf
432 from previous version will not work!
434 afpd now has better AFS support. In particular, the configuration
435 for AFS was made much easier; a number of Kerberos-related
436 byte-ordering and time problems were found; clear-text passwords
437 were added (thanks to geeb@umich.edu).
439 afpd now handles Unix permissions much better (thanks to
442 There are many, many more changes, but most are small bug fixes.
444 Changes from the 1.2 release:
446 The Sun support now uses loadable kernel modules (a la VDDRV)
447 instead of binary patches. As such, it should work on any sunos
448 greater than 4.1, and is confirmed to work under 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
450 The DEC support no longer requires source. It also runs under
451 ultrix 4.1 and 4.2. It still requires patching your kernel, but the
452 patches are limited to those files available to binary-only sites
453 -- primarily hooks for things like netatalk.
455 The etc.rc script now uses changes made to nbprgstr (see below).
457 aecho now takes machine names on the command line.
459 nbplkup now takes a command line argument specifying the number of
460 responses to accept. It also takes its defaults from the NBPLKUP
461 environment variable.
463 nbprgstr may be used to register a name at any requested port.
465 afpd now logs if an illegal shell is used during login, instead of
466 silently denying service.
468 A bug in afpd which caused position information for the directory
469 children of the root of a volume to be ignored has been fixed.
471 Several typos in afpd which would cause include files necessary to
472 ultrix to be skipped have been fixed.
474 atalkd will no long propagate routes to networks whose zone
477 atalkd no longer dumps core if it receives a ZIP GetMyZone request
478 from a network whose zone it doesn't know. (Since this currently
479 can only happen from off net, it's not precisely a legal request.)
481 pap and papd (optionally) no longer check the connection id in PAP
482 DATA responses. Both also maintain the function code in non-first-packet
483 PAP DATA responses. These changes are work-arounds to deal with
484 certain AppleTalk printer cards, notably the BridgePort LocalTalk
485 card for HP LJIIISIs.
487 pap no longer sends an EOF response to each PAP SENDDATA request,
490 A bug in papd which would cause it to return a random value when
491 printing the procset to a piped printer has been fixed.
493 A bug relating to NBP on reverse-endian machines has been fixed.
495 atp_rsel() from libatalk now returns a correct value even if it
496 hasn't recieved anything yet.
498 atalk_addr() from libatalk no longer accepts addresses in octal
499 format, since AppleTalk addresses can have leading zeros. Also it
500 checks that the separator character is a '.'.
502 Pseudo man pages for nbplkup, nbprgstr, and nbpunrgstr, have been
505 The example in the psf(8) man page is now correct.
507 The man pages for changed commands have been updated.
509 The README files for various machine have been updated
