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

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

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