4 * NEW: afpd: We now support AFP 3.x, which features long filenames and
6 * NEW: CNID handling completely reworked. We now use per Volume configurable
8 * NEW: Two new daemons, cnid_metad and cnid_dbd to implement the dbd CNID backend.
9 Using Berkeley DB transactions with the CNID database should be safe now.
10 * NEW: The on disk format of the CNID database has changed. We now support 8 byte
11 device and inode numbers and an additinal type field that should make
12 detection of file/directory changes outside of afpd more robust.
13 Changed from HASH to BTREE access which speeds things up in certain cases
14 and reduces database file size.
15 * NEW: Long file name mangling is now implemented using the CNID ID, so no database is
16 required to map names to mangled names. This is the same method Mac OS X uses.
17 * NEW: New format (version 2) for Metadata in AppleDouble files. We record device and
18 inode of the underlying file as well as the CNID. This can be used for recovery
19 and speeds up access to the CNID.
20 * NEW: The old NLS codepage system has been removed. It was replaced by an iconv
21 based conversion system, which provides much more flexibility.
22 * NEW: You can safely use extended characters in volume names and for SIGUSR2 messaging.
23 * NEW: The default volume encoding is UTF-8.
24 * NEW: All documentation is now generated using DocBook. New or completely reworked
25 sections about installing, setting up and upgrading Netatalk replace various
26 README files in the doc directory.
27 * FIX: Protect afpd better against unexpected signals during updates of the CNID
28 database with the cdb backend. This makes database corruption less likely.
29 * FIX: All manpages have been reviewed and should now be up to date.
30 * FIX: Tons of bug fixes since 1.6.4. Please consults the CVS change log for details.
35 * NEW: afpd: Using the mswindows option now implicitly specifies usedots.
37 * UPD: afpd.8: Updated the option documentation.

92 * FIX: CNID, folders' DID handling with concurrent access or symlinks.
93 (Fixes an endless loop in afpd.)
98 * FIX: pap looks at the STDOUT file descriptor to see if it's connected to

104 * UPD: Removed --with-catsearch option from configure and enable FPCatSearch
106 * UPD: The dbpath argument does now support variable substitution.
107 * FIX: Build fix for non-GNU-C compilers in libatalk/util/logger.c.
108 * FIX: Two directories with the same name but different case confused the
110 * FIX: The ROOT_PARENT directory could get invalidated.
115 * NEW: Long file name mangling support.
116 * NEW: Improved log file support.
117 * NEW: Server-side find capability ("FPCatSearch")
118 * NEW: Concurrent datastore (CDB) is now the default CNID datastore. This
119 should be heavily tested in a multiuser environment.
120 * NEW: Variable substitution support has been added for the dbpath AppleVolume
122 * UPD: CNID DID handling is now enabled by default.
123 * FIX: Various bug and build fixes as well as code cleanups.
128 * NEW: Allow afpd debugging to be enabled by sending the afpd process
130 * NEW: Allow SLP to be disabled per afpd process by adding a new -noslp flag

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