AFP 3.3 support (necessary for TimeMachine and Lion)

Robust network disconnect/reconnect, especially important for Time Machine

Support for fast AFP searches (CNID backend "dbd" only)

POSIX draft 1e ACL support

Complete Netatalk volume compatible ad file utility suite

Dynamic filesystem cache

Builtin Zeroconf registration of the AFP server and TimeMachine volumes

Support for ACLs without a common Directory Service between server and client

UPD: afpd: Enhance ACL support detection for volumes: enable them per volume if 1) ACL support compiled in, 2) the volume supports ACLs, 3) the new volume option "noacls" is not set for the volume. The previous behaviour was to enable ACL support for a volume if 1) it was compiled in and 2) the volume supported ACLs. There was no way to disable ACLs for a volume.

FIX: afpd: return correct user/group type when mapping UUIDs to names

FIX: afpd: for directories add DARWIN_ACE_DELETE ACE if DARWIN_ACE_ADD_SUBDIRECTORY is set

FIX: afpd: afpd crashed when it failed to register with Avahi because eg user service registration is disabled in the Avahi config

FIX: dbd: function checking and removing malformed ad:ea header files failed to chdir back to the original working directory

FIX: cnid_dbd: increase BerkeleyDB locks and lockobjs

FIX: cnid_dbd: implement -d option, deletes CNID db

NEW: afpd: new afpd.conf options "tcprcvbuf" and "tcpsndbuf" to customize the corresponding TCP socket options.

NEW: afpd: new afpd.conf option "nozeroconf" which disabled automatic Zeroconf service registration.

FIX: afpd: generate mersenne primes for DHX2 UAM once at startup, not for every login

FIX: afpd: DSI streaming deadlock

FIX: afpd: extended sleep

FIX: afpd: directory cache

FIX: Support for platforms that do not have the *at functions

UPD: afpd: put POSIX write lock on volume files while reading them

FIX: afpd: fix option volsizelimit to return a usefull value for the volume free space using du -sh with popen

FIX: afpd: fix idle connection disconnects

UPD: gentoo: rc-update install don’t hook in the Makefile

UPD: afpd: new option "searchdb" which enables fast catalog searches using the CNID db.

UPD: Case-insensitive fast search with the CNID db

UPD: cnid_dbd: afpd now passes the volume path, not the db path when connecting for a volume. cnid_dbd will read the ".AppleDesktop/.volinfo" file of the volume in order to figure out the CNID db path and the volume charset encoding.

NEW: Enhanced CNID "dbd" database for fast name search support. Important: this makes cnidscheme "cdb" incompatible with "dbd".

NEW: afpd: support for fast catalog searches

NEW: ad utility: ad find

UPD: afpd: CNID database versioning check for "cdb" scheme

UPD: cnid_dbd: CNID database versioning and upgrading. Additional CNID database index for fast name searches.

FIX: afpd: various fixes

FIX: Any daemon did not run if atalkd doesn’t exist (redhat/debian)

FIX: afpd: fix compilation error when ACL support is not available

FIX: Ensure Appletalk manpages and config files are distributed

NEW: ad utility: ad rm

NEW: ad utility: ad mv

NEW: afpd: dynamic directoy and CNID cache (new config option -dircachesize)

NEW: afpd: POSIX 1e ACL support

NEW: afpd: automagic Zeroconf registration with avahi, registering both the service _afpovertcp._tcp and TimeMachine volumes with _adisk._tcp.

UPD: afpd: ACLs usable (though not visible on the client side) without common directory service, by mapping ACLs to UARight

UPD: afpd: performance improvements for ACL access calculations

UPD: AppleTalk ist disabled by default at configuration time. If needed use configure switch --enable-ddp.

FIX: afpd: Solaris 10 compatibilty fix: don’t use SO_SNDTIMEO/SO_RCVTIMEO, use non-blocking IO and select instead.

FIX: cnid_dbd: Solaris 10 compatibilty fix: don’t use SO_SNDTIMEO/SO_RCVTIMEO, use non-blocking IO and select instead.
