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