3 * UPD: afpd: Increase default DSI server quantum to 1 MB
4 * UPD: bundled libevent2 is now static
5 * NEW: --with-lockfile=PATH configure option for specifying an
6 alternative path for the netatalk lockfile.

31 * FIX: Fix a race condition between dbd and the cnid_dbd daemon
32 which could result in users being disconnected from volumes
33 when dbd was scanning their volumes. Fixes bug #477.
34 * FIX: Netatalk didn't start when the last line of the config file
35 afp.conf wasn't terminated by a newline. Fixes bug #476.
36 * NEW: Add a new volumes option 'follow symlinks'. The default setting is
37 false, symlinks are not followed on the server. This is the same
38 behaviour as OS X's AFP server.
39 Setting the option to true causes afpd to follow symlinks on the
40 server. symlinks may point outside of the AFP volume, currently
41 afpd doesn't do any checks for "wide symlinks".
42 * FIX: Automatic AppleDouble conversion to EAs failing for directories.
44 * FIX: dbd failed to convert appledouble files of symlinks.
49 * NEW: afpd: Optional "ldap uuid encoding = string | ms-guid" parameter to

67 --with-libevent-header|lib.
68 * UPD: gentoo initscript: merge from portage netatalk.init,v 1.1
69 * REM: Remove --with-smbsharemodes configure option, it was an
70 empty stub not yet implemented
75 * UPD: afpd: force read only mode if cnid scheme is last
76 * REM: afpd: removed global option "icon"
77 * FIX: CNID path for user homes
82 * UPD: Solaris and friends: Replace initscript with SMF manifest
83 * FIX: Solaris and friends: resource fork handling
88 * UPD: afpd: Performance tuning of read/write AFP operations. New option
89 "afp read locks" (default: no) which disables that the server
90 applies UNIX byte range locks to regions of files in AFP read and
92 * UPD: apple_dump: Extended Attributes AppleDouble support.
93 (*BSD is not supported yet)
98 * NEW: afpd: Per volume "login message", NetAFP bug ID #18
99 * NEW: afpd: Cross-platform locking (share modes) on Solaris and derivates
100 with Solaris CIFS/SMB server. Uses new Solaris fcntl F_SHARE share
101 reservation locking primitives. Enabled by default, set global
102 "solaris share reservations" option to false to disable it.
103 * NEW: ad: ad set subcommand for changing Mac metadata on the server
104 * UPD: unix charset is UTF8 by default.
105 vol charset is same value as unix charset by default.
106 * UPD: .AppleDesktop/ are stored in $localstatedir/netatalk/CNID
107 (default: /var/netatalk/CNID), databases found in AFP volumes are
109 * FIX: afpd: Server info packet was malformed resulting in broken
110 server names being displayed on clients
111 * FIX: afpd: Byte order detection. Fixes an error where Netatalk on
112 OpenIndiana returned wrong volume size information.
114 Changes in 3.0 alpha2
115 =====================
117 * UPD: afpd: Store '.' as is and '/' as ':' on the server, don't
118 CAP hexencode as "2e" and "2f" respectively
119 * UPD: afdp: Automatic name conversion, renaming files and directories
120 containing CAP sequences to their not enscaped forms
121 * UPD: afpd: Correct handling of user homes and users without homes
122 * UPD: afpd: Perform complete automatic adouble:v2 to adouble:ea conversion

125 * UPD: Add graceful option to RedHat init script
126 * UPD: Add --disable-bundled-libevent configure options When set to yes,

177 * UPD: afpd: Use GSS_C_NO_NAME as server principal when Kerberos options -fqdn
178 and -krb5service are not set, from Jamie Gilbertson
179 * UPD: afpd: Changed behaviour for TimeMachine volumes in case there's a problem
180 talking to the CNID daemons. Previously the volume was flagged read-only
181 and an AFP message was sent to the client. As this might result in
182 TimeMachine assuming the backup sparse bundle is damaged, we now just
183 switch the CNID database to an in-memory tdb without the additional stuff.
184 * FIX: afpd: sendfile() on FreeBSD was broken, courtesy of Denis Ahrens
185 * FIX: afpd: Dont use searchdb when doing partial name search

199 whenever a normal user login fails, afpd tries to authenticate as
200 the specified adminauthuser. If this succeeds, a normal session is
201 created for the original connecting user. Said differently: if you
202 know the password of adminauthuser, you can authenticate as any other
204 * NEW: configure option "--enable-suse-systemd" for openSUSE12.1 and later.
205 "--enable-redhat-systemd" and "--enable-suse-systemd" are same as

512 after 2.1 in case of BerkeleyDB library updates, Netatalk
513 will be able to upgrade the CNID databases.
514 * NEW: afpd: store and read CNIDs to/from AppleDouble files by default.
515 This is used as a cache and as a backup in case the database
516 is deleted or corrupted. It can be disabled with a new volume
517 option "nocnidcache".
518 * NEW: afpd: sending SIGINT to a child afpd process enables debug logging
519 to /tmp/afpd.PID.XXXXXX.

539 * FIX: rewritten logger
540 * FIX: afpd: UNIX permissions handling

542 * FIX: initscripts installation now correctly uses autoconf paths,
543 ie they're installed to --sysconfdir.
544 * FIX: UTF-8 volume name length
545 * FIX: atalkd: workaround for broken Linux 2.6 AT kernel module:
546 Linux 2.6 sends broadcast queries to the first available socket
547 which is in our case the last configured one. atalkd now tries to
549 Note: now a misconfigured or plugged router can broadcast a wrong route !
550 * REM: afpd: removed CNID backends "db3", "hash" and "mtab"

832 Changes in 2.0-alpha1
833 =====================
835 * NEW: afpd: We now support AFP 3.x, which features long filenames and
837 * NEW: CNID handling completely reworked. We now use per Volume configurable
839 * NEW: Two new daemons, cnid_metad and cnid_dbd to implement the dbd CNID backend.
840 Using Berkeley DB transactions with the CNID database should be safe now.
841 * NEW: The on disk format of the CNID database has changed. We now support 8 byte
842 device and inode numbers and an additinal type field that should make
843 detection of file/directory changes outside of afpd more robust.
844 Changed from HASH to BTREE access which speeds things up in certain cases
845 and reduces database file size.
846 * NEW: Long file name mangling is now implemented using the CNID ID, so no database is
847 required to map names to mangled names. This is the same method Mac OS X uses.
848 * NEW: New format (version 2) for Metadata in AppleDouble files. We record device and
849 inode of the underlying file as well as the CNID. This can be used for recovery
850 and speeds up access to the CNID.
851 * NEW: The old NLS codepage system has been removed. It was replaced by an iconv
852 based conversion system, which provides much more flexibility.
853 * NEW: You can safely use extended characters in volume names and for SIGUSR2 messaging.
854 * NEW: The default volume encoding is UTF-8.
855 * NEW: All documentation is now generated using DocBook. New or completely reworked
856 sections about installing, setting up and upgrading Netatalk replace various
857 README files in the doc directory.
858 * FIX: Protect afpd better against unexpected signals during updates of the CNID
859 database with the cdb backend. This makes database corruption less likely.
860 * FIX: All manpages have been reviewed and should now be up to date.
861 * FIX: Tons of bug fixes since 1.6.4. Please consults the CVS change log for details.
866 * NEW: afpd: Using the mswindows option now implicitly specifies usedots.

1002 this is the only way to get asynchronous directory updates.

1043 * FIX: On some systems, atalkd refuses to start, since it couldn't detect
1044 any interfaces. This was caused by an overzealous validity check.

1053 was used in etc/afp/afp_config.c. This call was replaced by sprintf()
1054 and prior bounds checking.

1104 * Added code from Alan Cox to support Linux.
1106 * Rewrote papd. Now handles dropped connections better.
1107 Configuration has been modernized. !!! NOTE: The format of the
1108 configuration file has changed, but NOT THE NAME.
1110 * Added Kerberos support to papd.
1112 * atalkd now removes routes on a SIGTERM. Still can't just restart
1113 it, but it's closer.
1115 * Changed atalkd and the kernel driver to remove a hack added to
1116 support sending to 0.255. Now the kernel will allow multiple open
1117 sockets with the same port, so long as the addess associated with
1118 the port is different. atalkd now opens a socket for each port on
1121 * atalkd now rewrites its configuration file. If no configuration
1122 file is given, one will be generated. Permissions on the new
1123 configuration file will be inherited from the old one. If there is
1124 no old one, permissions default to 644. Won't rewrite the file if
1125 the owner doesn't have write permission.
1127 * Removed support for the "AFS Kerberos UAM", in favor of the
1128 "AuthMan UAM". Kerberos support should now be much more
1131 * Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause incorrect group calculations
1134 * Fixed a bug in afpd which causes SimpleText and some other
1135 applications to silently fail to write. There's also a bug in
1136 MacOS, but we can't fix that.
1138 * Fixed a bad interaction with afpd and AFS which would cause file
1139 writes to not propogate between AFS clients.
1141 * !!! CHANGED the name(s) of afpd's config files. The new files are
1142 AppleVolumes.system and AppleVolumes.default. If AppleVolumes.system
1143 exists, it is always read, AppleVolumes.default is only read if the
1144 user has no AppleVolumes file. Included a flag "-u" to indicate
1145 which file has precedence. "-u" user wins, otherwise ".system"
1148 * Rewrote the AppleVolumes parsing code. Now works.
1150 * Added a filename extension mapping to afpd. User always takes
1151 precedence, regardless of the "-u" flag. Code to change the type
1152 of all Unix files contributed by Kee Hinckley <nazgul@utopia.com>.
1154 * afpd now supports both UFS and AFS volumes simultaneously. It also
1155 uses access() to attempt to calculate reasonable Mac permissions
1156 for AFS directories.
1158 * Changed reporting of file times. Files that are written from Unix
1159 now update the Mac's idea of the files modification time. Unix
1160 mtime is now reported instead of ctime.
1162 * Added support for a new UAM to afpd. This requires that client
1163 Macs have MacTCP and AuthMan installed. Should make running afpd
1166 * Removed code so that otherwise valid volumes for which the mounting
1167 user has no permission will appear in the volume selection dialog
1168 on the Mac gray-ed out.
1170 * Added code from Chris Metcalf of MIT to the AppleDouble library
1171 which improves permission inheritance.
1173 * Added code from G. Paul Ziemba of Alantec, Inc to better report
1174 errors in psf. Also changed psf to use syslog for errors that
1175 users aren't interested in.
1177 * Added information to psf's man page to better explain the
1178 interaction between psf, pap, and lpd.
1180 * Make psf/pap/psa do accounting when it's turnes on in
1183 * Changed pap's error message when there is no printer specified on
1184 the command line and no .paprc is found. Also heavily modified
1185 pap's man page to reflect changes in the "new" version of pap,
1186 including moving it from section 8 to section 1.
1188 * Fixed a byte-order bug in pap's sequence numbers. Doubt if pap has
1189 ever worked right on little endian machines!
1191 * Added a flag to pap to optionally close before receiving EOF from
1192 the printer. Off by default. psf calls pap with this option on.
1194 * Added timeouts to the nbp library calls. This means that processes
1195 won't hang when atalkd dies during boot, thus hanging your
1198 Changes from the 1.3 release:
1199 =============================
1201 * Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause APPL mappings to contain both
1202 mac and unix path names. The fixed code will handle the old
1203 (corrupted) database.
1205 * Fixed a *very* serious bug which would cause files to be corrupted
1206 when copying to afpd.
1208 * Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause replies to icon writes to
1209 contain the written icon.
1211 * Filled in the function code switch in afpd. Previously, a hacker
1212 could probably have used afpd to get unauthorized access to a
1213 machine running afpd.
1215 * Fixed a bug in the asp portion of libatalk.a which could cause the
1216 malloc()/free() database to be corrupted.
1218 * Fixed a bug in atalkd's zip query code. With this bug, only the
1219 first N % 255 nets get queried. However, since nets bigger than
1220 255 are usually pretty unstable, the unqueried for nets will
1221 eventually get done, when N drops by one.
1223 * Suppressed a spurious error ("route: No such process") in atalkd.
1225 Changes from the 1.2.1 release:
1226 ===============================
1228 * atalkd is completely rewritten for phase 2 support. atalkd.conf
1229 from previous version will not work!
1231 * afpd now has better AFS support. In particular, the configuration
1232 for AFS was made much easier; a number of Kerberos-related
1233 byte-ordering and time problems were found; clear-text passwords
1234 were added (thanks to geeb@umich.edu).
1236 * afpd now handles Unix permissions much better (thanks to
1239 * There are many, many more changes, but most are small bug fixes.
1241 Changes from the 1.2 release:
1242 =============================
1244 * The Sun support now uses loadable kernel modules (a la VDDRV)
1245 instead of binary patches. As such, it should work on any sunos
1246 greater than 4.1, and is confirmed to work under 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
1248 * The DEC support no longer requires source. It also runs under
1249 ultrix 4.1 and 4.2. It still requires patching your kernel, but the
1250 patches are limited to those files available to binary-only sites
1251 -- primarily hooks for things like netatalk.
1253 * The etc.rc script now uses changes made to nbprgstr (see below).
1255 * aecho now takes machine names on the command line.
1257 * nbplkup now takes a command line argument specifying the number of
1258 responses to accept. It also takes its defaults from the NBPLKUP
1259 environment variable.
1261 * nbprgstr may be used to register a name at any requested port.
1263 * afpd now logs if an illegal shell is used during login, instead of
1264 silently denying service.
1266 * A bug in afpd which caused position information for the directory
1267 children of the root of a volume to be ignored has been fixed.
1269 * Several typos in afpd which would cause include files necessary to
1270 ultrix to be skipped have been fixed.
1272 * atalkd will no long propagate routes to networks whose zone
1275 * atalkd no longer dumps core if it receives a ZIP GetMyZone request
1276 from a network whose zone it doesn't know. (Since this currently
1277 can only happen from off net, it's not precisely a legal request.)
1279 * pap and papd (optionally) no longer check the connection id in PAP
1280 DATA responses. Both also maintain the function code in non-first-packet
1281 PAP DATA responses. These changes are work-arounds to deal with
1282 certain AppleTalk printer cards, notably the BridgePort LocalTalk
1283 card for HP LJIIISIs.
1285 * pap no longer sends an EOF response to each PAP SENDDATA request,
1288 * A bug in papd which would cause it to return a random value when
1289 printing the procset to a piped printer has been fixed.
1291 * A bug relating to NBP on reverse-endian machines has been fixed.
1293 * atp_rsel() from libatalk now returns a correct value even if it
1294 hasn't recieved anything yet.
1296 * atalk_addr() from libatalk no longer accepts addresses in octal
1297 format, since AppleTalk addresses can have leading zeros. Also it
1298 checks that the separator character is a '.'.
1300 * Pseudo man pages for nbplkup, nbprgstr, and nbpunrgstr, have been
1303 * The example in the psf(8) man page is now correct.
1305 * The man pages for changed commands have been updated.
1307 * The README files for various machine have been updated
