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

109 * UPD: Tru64 afpd authentication updates.
110 * UPD: As always: lots of minor code cleanups.
111 * FIX: Problems with Photoshop trying to open image files has been

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