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