The Netatalk development team is proud to announce a new feature release from the version 2 branch Netatalk, notable for maintaining support for AppleTalk clients.

The following compile time options have been added:

Breaking changes

As of Netatalk 2.3.0, the Database Daemon dbd CNID backend is the only one provided for use in production environments. The last CNID backend is still available for testing and read-only volumes.

The DHX UAM is now disabled by default, to avoid errors stemming from OpenSSL v3.0 removal of 128 bit modulus size support. See https://github.com/Netatalk/netatalk/issues/358 for more details on how to make DHX work on your system, and on using alternative UAMs for authenticating with older clients.

The following features have been removed.

Compatibility macros for the following long-obsoleted operating systems have been removed.

afpd

The following runtime options have been removed:

The following compile time options have been removed:

Renamed: * asip-status.pl has been renamed to asip-status

atalkd

Netatalk versions 2.2.7 through 2.2.10 had the non-standard behavior of not rebroadcasting routing information originating from other subnets. This made certain Asanté or Dayna LocalTalk hardware bridges able to coexist with netatalk, with the drawback that subnets behind other routers aren’t visible to the netatalk clients.

Netatalk 2.3.0 restores the correct behavior as per the AppleTalk specification. If you want to emulate the previous non-standard behavior, you can start atalkd with the newly introduced -q parameter.
