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

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

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