112 Changes in 2.0-alpha1
113 =====================
115 * NEW: afpd: We now support AFP 3.x, which features long filenames and
117 * NEW: CNID handling completely reworked. We now use per Volume configurable
119 * NEW: Two new daemons, cnid_metad and cnid_dbd to implement the dbd CNID backend.
120 Using Berkeley DB transactions with the CNID database should be safe now.
121 * NEW: The on disk format of the CNID database has changed. We now support 8 byte
122 device and inode numbers and an additinal type field that should make
123 detection of file/directory changes outside of afpd more robust.
124 Changed from HASH to BTREE access which speeds things up in certain cases
125 and reduces database file size.
126 * NEW: Long file name mangling is now implemented using the CNID ID, so no database is
127 required to map names to mangled names. This is the same method Mac OS X uses.
128 * NEW: New format (version 2) for Metadata in AppleDouble files. We record device and
129 inode of the underlying file as well as the CNID. This can be used for recovery
130 and speeds up access to the CNID.
131 * NEW: The old NLS codepage system has been removed. It was replaced by an iconv
132 based conversion system, which provides much more flexibility.
133 * NEW: You can safely use extended characters in volume names and for SIGUSR2 messaging.
134 * NEW: The default volume encoding is UTF-8.
135 * NEW: All documentation is now generated using DocBook. New or completely reworked
136 sections about installing, setting up and upgrading Netatalk replace various
137 README files in the doc directory.
138 * FIX: Protect afpd better against unexpected signals during updates of the CNID
139 database with the cdb backend. This makes database corruption less likely.
140 * FIX: All manpages have been reviewed and should now be up to date.
141 * FIX: Tons of bug fixes since 1.6.4. Please consults the CVS change log for details.
146 * NEW: afpd: Using the mswindows option now implicitly specifies usedots.
148 * UPD: afpd.8: Updated the option documentation.

203 * FIX: CNID, folders' DID handling with concurrent access or symlinks.
204 (Fixes an endless loop in afpd.)
209 * FIX: pap looks at the STDOUT file descriptor to see if it's connected to
210 a tty, instead of STDIN.
215 * UPD: Removed --with-catsearch option from configure and enable FPCatSearch
217 * UPD: The dbpath argument does now support variable substitution.
218 * FIX: Build fix for non-GNU-C compilers in libatalk/util/logger.c.
219 * FIX: Two directories with the same name but different case confused the
221 * FIX: The ROOT_PARENT directory could get invalidated.
226 * NEW: Long file name mangling support.
227 * NEW: Improved log file support.
228 * NEW: Server-side find capability ("FPCatSearch")
229 * NEW: Concurrent datastore (CDB) is now the default CNID datastore. This
230 should be heavily tested in a multiuser environment.
231 * NEW: Variable substitution support has been added for the dbpath AppleVolume
233 * UPD: CNID DID handling is now enabled by default.
234 * FIX: Various bug and build fixes as well as code cleanups.
239 * NEW: Allow afpd debugging to be enabled by sending the afpd process
241 * NEW: Allow SLP to be disabled per afpd process by adding a new -noslp flag
243 * FIX: Use server name (if not NULL) for the SLP URL.
244 * FIX: papd: buffer overflow during config file read (Olaf Hering)
249 * FIX: File open read only and then read write (aka pb with Illustrator).
250 * FIX: Problems with unexpected EOF when reading files on a ddp connection
251 Photoshop, old finder.
252 * FIX: --with-nls-dir option does now work
257 * UPD: Extend the --disable-shell-check functionality to ignore users
258 with _no_ shell. Also, send a log message if a user is refused login
259 based on the fact that they have no shell.
260 * UPD: Autoconf updates.
261 * UPD: Tru64 afpd authentication updates.
262 * UPD: As always: lots of minor code cleanups.
263 * FIX: Problems with Photoshop trying to open image files has been
265 * FIX: Preserve special permission bits when creating or modifying
267 * FIX: afp_deleteid() now deletes the specified file and not the parent
269 * FIX: papd does now announce that it supports binary data to its clients.
270 * FIX: NetBSD ELF support.
271 * FIX: acleandir.rc is now installed in the bin directory.
272 * FIX: megatron does now compile even if compiled with -DDEBUG.
273 * FIX: Clean up some syslog messages.
278 * NEW: NetBSD support contributed by David Rankin and NetBSD contributors.
279 This includes a new configure option --enable-netbsd.
280 * NEW: Add the -client_polling afpd.conf flag to allow for clients to poll
281 the server every 10 seconds for open window updates. Currently
282 this is the only way to get asynchronous directory updates.
283 * UPD: Use separate macro for AFS configure check.
284 * UPD: Some Perl scripts are now (partially) auto-generated. This improves
285 out-of-the-box usage of Netatalk.
286 * UPD: Solaris Kernel Makefile is now auto-generated. This fixes some path
287 issues, but isn't perfect, yet. Added some Solaris compatibility
288 fixes to the Kernel sources, too.
289 * UPD: CNID DB code sync'd with the current CVS version. NOTE: Using this
290 code requires you to delete _all_ existing .AppleDB directories in
291 order to avoid database corruption!
292 * FIX: The file AppleVolumes.system contained wrong line breaks so that
293 not all file types were properly recognized.
294 * FIX: AFS compilation would fail due to a misnamed variable.
295 * FIX: SLP configure check was wrong so SLP did not compile.
296 * FIX: Fix the way quotas are handled under certain situations.
297 * FIX: Do not enable debugging code if debugging option is not set.
298 * FIX: Some problems with wrongly assigned DIDs were fixed.
299 * FIX: Various bug fixes and code cleanups.
304 * NEW: Added a program called cnid_didname_verify that can be used to
305 verify the consistency of the CNID database.
306 * NEW: New afpd option: -timeout. Warning: This still doesn't do what it's
308 * UPD: Code cleanups and compatibility fixes to macusers.
309 * UPD: AppleVolumes.system was cleaned up.
310 * FIX: Really fix Tru64 compilation (see last entry).
311 * FIX: Hand correct error value back to AFP client when deleting files or
313 * FIX: Leading or trailing spaces are now forbidden on volumes that have
314 the AFPVOL_MSWINDOWS flag set.
315 * FIX: Minor code cleanups and warning fixes.
316 * FIX: Make quota support work on FreeBSD.
321 * FIX: Compilation on Tru64 systems was broken, since libtool's acinclude.m4
322 file on the packagers system did not contain the necessary patch.
323 * FIX: On some systems, atalkd refuses to start, since it couldn't detect
324 any interfaces. This was caused by an overzealous validity check.
329 * FIX: contrib/shell_utils/lp2pap.sh was erased when "make clean" was called.
330 Now we distribute lp2pap.sh.tmpl instead, and lp2pap.sh is automatically
331 generated during package build.
332 * FIX: Some platforms (notably Tru64) don't have the snprintf() call, which
333 was used in etc/afp/afp_config.c. This call was replaced by sprintf()
334 and prior bounds checking.
336 Changes from the 1.4b1 release:
338 Fixed the maximum free/total volume size in afpd.
340 Made ~ the default volume in afpd.
342 Fixed pid file handling and changed setpgrp() to setpgid() in afpd,
345 Added code to afpd to set the Unix file time stamps with utime().
347 Fixed a bug in papd's printcap code which limited it to 15 or so
350 Fixed papd's handling of piped printers.
352 Fixed papd's handling of bad job names.
354 Fixed atalkd to send NBP LKUP packets from NBP port.
356 Added "sync;sync;sync" to Solaris kinstall to help with streams
359 Added nlocalrts to streams ddp.conf. Thanks Thomas Tornblom.
361 Fixed signed extension infinite loop in Solaris module.
363 Moved all the config files to .../config.
365 Changes from the 1.3.3 release:
367 Added code from Sun Microsystems, Inc (OPCOM) for Solaris support.
370 Added support for FreeBSD, mostly changes by Mark Dawson and Julian
373 All sorts of other stuff.
375 Changes from the 1.3.1 release:
377 Added options to psf's filter names to support accounting on HPs.
378 !!! NOTE: The location of the filters has changed, see the man
381 Added code from Alan Cox to support Linux.
383 Rewrote papd. Now handles dropped connections better.
384 Configuration has been modernized. !!! NOTE: The format of the
385 configuration file has changed, but NOT THE NAME.
387 Added Kerberos support to papd.
389 atalkd now removes routes on a SIGTERM. Still can't just restart
392 Changed atalkd and the kernel driver to remove a hack added to
393 support sending to 0.255. Now the kernel will allow multiple open
394 sockets with the same port, so long as the addess associated with
395 the port is different. atalkd now opens a socket for each port on
398 atalkd now rewrites its configuration file. If no configuration
399 file is given, one will be generated. Permissions on the new
400 configuration file will be inherited from the old one. If there is
401 no old one, permissions default to 644. Won't rewrite the file if
402 the owner doesn't have write permission.
404 Removed support for the "AFS Kerberos UAM", in favor of the
405 "AuthMan UAM". Kerberos support should now be much more
408 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause incorrect group calculations
411 Fixed a bug in afpd which causes SimpleText and some other
412 applications to silently fail to write. There's also a bug in
413 MacOS, but we can't fix that.
415 Fixed a bad interaction with afpd and AFS which would cause file
416 writes to not propogate between AFS clients.
418 !!! CHANGED the name(s) of afpd's config files. The new files are
419 AppleVolumes.system and AppleVolumes.default. If AppleVolumes.system
420 exists, it is always read, AppleVolumes.default is only read if the
421 user has no AppleVolumes file. Included a flag "-u" to indicate
422 which file has precedence. "-u" user wins, otherwise ".system"
425 Rewrote the AppleVolumes parsing code. Now works.
427 Added a filename extension mapping to afpd. User always takes
428 precedence, regardless of the "-u" flag. Code to change the type
429 of all Unix files contributed by Kee Hinckley <nazgul@utopia.com>.
431 afpd now supports both UFS and AFS volumes simultaneously. It also
432 uses access() to attempt to calculate reasonable Mac permissions
435 Changed reporting of file times. Files that are written from Unix
436 now update the Mac's idea of the files modification time. Unix
437 mtime is now reported instead of ctime.
439 Added support for a new UAM to afpd. This requires that client
440 Macs have MacTCP and AuthMan installed. Should make running afpd
443 Removed code so that otherwise valid volumes for which the mounting
444 user has no permission will appear in the volume selection dialog
445 on the Mac gray-ed out.
447 Added code from Chris Metcalf of MIT to the AppleDouble library
448 which improves permission inheritance.
450 Added code from G. Paul Ziemba of Alantec, Inc to better report
451 errors in psf. Also changed psf to use syslog for errors that
452 users aren't interested in.
454 Added information to psf's man page to better explain the
455 interaction between psf, pap, and lpd.
457 Make psf/pap/psa do accounting when it's turnes on in
460 Changed pap's error message when there is no printer specified on
461 the command line and no .paprc is found. Also heavily modified
462 pap's man page to reflect changes in the "new" version of pap,
463 including moving it from section 8 to section 1.
465 Fixed a byte-order bug in pap's sequence numbers. Doubt if pap has
466 ever worked right on little endian machines!
468 Added a flag to pap to optionally close before receiving EOF from
469 the printer. Off by default. psf calls pap with this option on.
471 Added timeouts to the nbp library calls. This means that processes
472 won't hang when atalkd dies during boot, thus hanging your
475 Changes from the 1.3 release:
477 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause APPL mappings to contain both
478 mac and unix path names. The fixed code will handle the old
479 (corrupted) database.
481 Fixed a *very* serious bug which would cause files to be corrupted
482 when copying to afpd.
484 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause replies to icon writes to
485 contain the written icon.
487 Filled in the function code switch in afpd. Previously, a hacker
488 could probably have used afpd to get unauthorized access to a
489 machine running afpd.
491 Fixed a bug in the asp portion of libatalk.a which could cause the
492 malloc()/free() database to be corrupted.
494 Fixed a bug in atalkd's zip query code. With this bug, only the
495 first N % 255 nets get queried. However, since nets bigger than
496 255 are usually pretty unstable, the unqueried for nets will
497 eventually get done, when N drops by one.
499 Suppressed a spurious error ("route: No such process") in atalkd.
501 Changes from the 1.2.1 release:
503 atalkd is completely rewritten for phase 2 support. atalkd.conf
504 from previous version will not work!
506 afpd now has better AFS support. In particular, the configuration
507 for AFS was made much easier; a number of Kerberos-related
508 byte-ordering and time problems were found; clear-text passwords
509 were added (thanks to geeb@umich.edu).
511 afpd now handles Unix permissions much better (thanks to
514 There are many, many more changes, but most are small bug fixes.
516 Changes from the 1.2 release:
518 The Sun support now uses loadable kernel modules (a la VDDRV)
519 instead of binary patches. As such, it should work on any sunos
520 greater than 4.1, and is confirmed to work under 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
522 The DEC support no longer requires source. It also runs under
523 ultrix 4.1 and 4.2. It still requires patching your kernel, but the
524 patches are limited to those files available to binary-only sites
525 -- primarily hooks for things like netatalk.
527 The etc.rc script now uses changes made to nbprgstr (see below).
529 aecho now takes machine names on the command line.
531 nbplkup now takes a command line argument specifying the number of
532 responses to accept. It also takes its defaults from the NBPLKUP
533 environment variable.
535 nbprgstr may be used to register a name at any requested port.
537 afpd now logs if an illegal shell is used during login, instead of
538 silently denying service.
540 A bug in afpd which caused position information for the directory
541 children of the root of a volume to be ignored has been fixed.
543 Several typos in afpd which would cause include files necessary to
544 ultrix to be skipped have been fixed.
546 atalkd will no long propagate routes to networks whose zone
549 atalkd no longer dumps core if it receives a ZIP GetMyZone request
550 from a network whose zone it doesn't know. (Since this currently
551 can only happen from off net, it's not precisely a legal request.)
553 pap and papd (optionally) no longer check the connection id in PAP
554 DATA responses. Both also maintain the function code in non-first-packet
555 PAP DATA responses. These changes are work-arounds to deal with
556 certain AppleTalk printer cards, notably the BridgePort LocalTalk
557 card for HP LJIIISIs.
559 pap no longer sends an EOF response to each PAP SENDDATA request,
562 A bug in papd which would cause it to return a random value when
563 printing the procset to a piped printer has been fixed.
565 A bug relating to NBP on reverse-endian machines has been fixed.
567 atp_rsel() from libatalk now returns a correct value even if it
568 hasn't recieved anything yet.
570 atalk_addr() from libatalk no longer accepts addresses in octal
571 format, since AppleTalk addresses can have leading zeros. Also it
572 checks that the separator character is a '.'.
574 Pseudo man pages for nbplkup, nbprgstr, and nbpunrgstr, have been
577 The example in the psf(8) man page is now correct.
579 The man pages for changed commands have been updated.
581 The README files for various machine have been updated
