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

39 * FIX: The ROOT_PARENT directory could get invalidated.
44 * NEW: Long file name mangling support.
45 * NEW: Improved log file support.
46 * NEW: Server-side find capability ("FPCatSearch")
47 * NEW: Concurrent datastore (CDB) is now the default CNID datastore. This
48 should be heavily tested in a multiuser environment.
49 * NEW: Variable substitution support has been added for the dbpath AppleVolume
51 * UPD: CNID DID handling is now enabled by default.
52 * FIX: Various bug and build fixes as well as code cleanups.
57 * NEW: Allow afpd debugging to be enabled by sending the afpd process
59 * NEW: Allow SLP to be disabled per afpd process by adding a new -noslp flag

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