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

FIX: Fix handling of large number of volumes. Fixes bug #527.

FIX: Made AppleTalk systems function properly when coexisting with TCP systems.

FIX: papd: make it work better with post-1.6 CUPS.

FIX: Various fixes for building and running on NetBSD.

FIX: Better compatibility with OpenSSL.

FIX: Fix errors searching volumes

NEW: Configurable symlink handling with a new volume option followsymlinks. Setting the option causes afpd to follow symlinks on the server side.

UPD: Reload groups when reloading volumes. FR #71.

FIX: Fix a possible crash in cname() where cname_mtouname calls dirlookup() where the curdir is freed because the dircache detected a dev/inode cache difference and evicted the object from the cache. Fixes bug #498.

FIX: Change default FinderInfo for directories to be all 0, fixes bug 514.

FIX: Missing UAM links

FIX: Lockup in AFP logout on Fedora 17

FIX: Reset signal handlers and alarm timer after successfull PAM authentication. Fixes a problem with AFP disconnects caused by pam_smbpass.so messing with our handlers and timer.

FIX: afpd: Fix a possible problem with sendfile on Solaris derived platforms

NEW: afpd: support for mdnsresponder

NEW: afpd: new LDAP config option ldap_uuid_string

UPD: based on Unicode 6.1.0

UPD: experimental systemd service files: always run both afpd and cnid_metad

UPD: afpd: Ensure our umask is not altered by eg pam_umask

UPD: afpd: Use GSS_C_NO_NAME as server principal when Kerberos options -fqdn and -krb5service are not set, from Jamie Gilbertson

UPD: afpd: Changed behaviour for TimeMachine volumes in case there’s a problem talking to the CNID daemons. Previously the volume was flagged read-only and an AFP message was sent to the client. As this might result in TimeMachine assuming the backup sparse bundle is damaged, we now just switch the CNID database to an in-memory tdb without the additional stuff.

FIX: afpd: sendfile() on FreeBSD was broken, courtesy of Denis Ahrens

FIX: afpd: Dont use searchdb when doing partial name search

FIX: afpd: Fix a possible bug handling disconnected sessions, NetAFP Bug ID #16

FIX: afpd: Close IPC fds in afpd session child inherited from the afpd master process

FIX: debian initscript: start avahi-daemon (if available) before atalkd

FIX: Zeroconf could not advertise non-ASCII time machine volume name

NEW: afpd: New option "adminauthuser". Specifying eg "-adminauthuser root" whenever a normal user login fails, afpd tries to authenticate as the specified adminauthuser. If this succeeds, a normal session is created for the original connecting user. Said differently: if you know the password of adminauthuser, you can authenticate as any other user.

NEW: configure option "--enable-suse-systemd" for openSUSE12.1 and later. "--enable-redhat-systemd" and "--enable-suse-systemd" are same as "--enable-systemd". "--enable-suse" is renamed "--enable-suse-sysv".

NEW: experimental systemd service files in distrib/systemd/

UPD: afpd: Enhanced POSIX ACL mapping semantics, from Laura Mueller

UPD: afpd: Reset options every time a :DEFAULT: line is found in a AppleVolumes file

NEW: configure option "--enable-redhat-systemd" for Fedora15 and later. "--enable-redhat" is renamed "--enable-redhat-sysv".

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.

UPD: afpd: add a configurable hold time option to FCE file modification event generation, default is 60 s, new option "fceholdfmod" to change it

UPD: afpd: add support for new NetBSD quota subsystem, Bug ID 3249879

FIX: afpd: .volinfo file not created on first volume access if user in rolist

FIX: afpd: possible crash at startup when registering with Avahi when Avahi is not running

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: Fix Debian Bug#637025

FIX: Multiple *BSD compilation compatibility fixes, Bug ID 3380785

FIX: precompose_w() failed if tail character is decomposed surrogate pair

NEW: afpd: new volume option "nonetids"

NEW: afpd: ACL access check caching

NEW: afpd: new option "-mimicmodel" for specifying Bonjour model registration

UPD: Support for Berkeley DB 5.1

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

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 cp

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.
