Coherent cross-platform locking with Solaris CIFS server

FIX: Fix a crash when using pam_winbind. Fixes bug #516.

NEW: New global/volume option "ignored attributes"

FIX: "afp listen" option failed to take IPv6 addresses. Bug #515.

FIX: Fix a possible crash in set_groups. Bug #518.

NEW: Send optional AFP messages for vetoed files, new option "veto messages" can be used to enable sending messages. Then whenever a client tries to access any file or directory with a vetoed name, it will be sent an AFP message indicating the name and the directory. From FR #81.

NEW: New boolean volume option "delete veto files". If this option is set to yes, then Netatalk will attempt to recursively delete any vetoed files and directories. FR #82.

UPD: systemd unit dir is /usr/lib/systemd/system .

FIX: Saving files from application like MS Word may result in the file loosing metadata like the Finder label. Bug #521.

FIX: Opening files without metadata EA may result in an invalid metadata EA. Check for malformed metadata EAs and delete them. Fixes bug #510.

FIX: Fix an issue with filenames containing non-ASCII characters that lead to a failure setting the size of a files ressource fork. This affected application like Adobe Photoshop where saving files may fail. Fixes bug #511.

UPD: Enhance ACL mapping, change global ACL option map acl to take the following options: "none", "rights" (default), "mode". none = no mapping, this resembles the previous false/no setting rights = map ACLs to Finder UARights, this resembles the previous true/yes setting. This is the default. mode = map ACLs to Finder UARights and UNIX mode From FR #73.

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: Add missing include, fixes bug #512.

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

NEW: New option "afp interfaces" which allows specifying where Netatalk listens for AFP connections by interface names. From FR #79.

UPD: afpd: Increase default DSI server quantum to 1 MB

NEW: --with-lockfile=PATH configure option for specifying an alternative path for the netatalk lockfile.

UPD: systemd service file use PIDFile and ExecReload. From FR #70.

UPD: RedHat sysvinit: rm graceful, reimplement reload, add condrestart

FIX: Couldn’t create folders on FreeBSD 9.1 ZFS fileystems. Fixed bug #491.

FIX: Fix an issue with user homes when user home directory has not the same name as the username. Fixes bug #497.

UPD: Fix PAM config install, new default installation dir is $sysconfdir/pam.d/. Add configure option --with-pam-confdir to specify alternative path.

NEW: AFP stats about active session via dbus IPC. Client side python program afpstats. Requires dbus, dbus-glib any python-dbus. configure option --dbus-sysconf-dir for specifying dbus system security configuration files. New option afpstats (default: no) which determines whether to enable the feature or not.

NEW: configure option --with-init-dir

NEW: dtrace probes, cf include/atalk/afp_dtrace.d for available probes.

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

FIX: Attempt to read read-only ._ rfork results in disconnect. Fixes bug #502.

FIX: File’s ressource fork can’t be read if metadata EA is missing. Fixes bug #501.

FIX: Conversion from adouble v2 to ea for directories. Fixes bug #500.

FIX: Error messages when mounting read-only filesystems. Fixes bug #504.

FIX: Permissions of ._ AppleDouble ressource fork after conversion from v2 to ea. Fixes bug #505.

UPD: Use FreeBSD sendfile() capability to send protocol header. From FR #75.

UPD: Increase IO size when sendfile() is not used. From FR #76.

FIX: Can’t set Finder label on symlinked folder with "follow symlinks = yes". Fixes bug #508.

FIX: Setting POSIX ACLs on Linux Fixes bug #506.

FIX: "ad ls" segfault if requested object is not in an AFP volume. Fixes bug #496.

NEW: afpd: Put file extension type/creator mapping back in which had been removed in 3.0.

NEW: afpd: new option ad domain. From FR #66.

FIX: volumes and home share with symlinks in the path

FIX: Reloading volumes from config file was broken. Fixes bug #474.

FIX: Fix _device-info service type registered with dns-sd API

FIX: Fix pathname bug for FCE modified event.

FIX: Remove length limitation of options like "valid users". Fixes bug #473.

FIX: Dont copy our metadata EA in copyfile(). Fixes bug #452.

FIX: Fix an error where catalog search gave incomplete results. Fixes bug #479.

REM: Remove TimeMachine volume used size FCE event.

UPD: Add quoting support to [in]valid users option. Fixes bug #472.

FIX: Install working PAM config on Solaris 11. Fixes bug #481.

FIX: Fix a race condition between dbd and the cnid_dbd daemon which could result in users being disconnected from volumes when dbd was scanning their volumes. Fixes bug #477.

FIX: Netatalk didn’t start when the last line of the config file afp.conf wasn’t terminated by a newline. Fixes bug #476.

NEW: Add a new volumes option follow symlinks. The default setting is false, symlinks are not followed on the server. This is the same behaviour as OS X’s AFP server. Setting the option to true causes afpd to follow symlinks on the server. symlinks may point outside of the AFP volume, currently afpd doesn’t do any checks for "wide symlinks".

FIX: Automatic AppleDouble conversion to EAs failing for directories. Fixes bug #486.

FIX: dbd failed to convert appledouble files of symlinks. Fixes bug #490.

NEW: afpd: Optional "ldap uuid encoding = string | ms-guid" parameter to afp.conf, allowing for usage of the binary objectGUID fields from Active Directory.

UPD: apple_dump: Extended Attributes AppleDouble support. (*BSD is not supported yet)

NEW: afpd: Per volume "login message", NetAFP bug ID #18

NEW: afpd: Cross-platform locking (share modes) on Solaris and derivates with Solaris CIFS/SMB server. Uses new Solaris fcntl F_SHARE share reservation locking primitives. Enabled by default, set global "solaris share reservations" option to false to disable it.

NEW: ad: ad set subcommand for changing Mac metadata on the server

UPD: unix charset is UTF8 by default vol charset is same value as unix charset by default

UPD: .AppleDesktop/ are stored in $localstatedir/netatalk/CNID (default: /var/netatalk/CNID), databases found in AFP volumes are automatically moved

FIX: afpd: Server info packet was malformed resulting in broken server names being displayed on clients

FIX: afpd: Byte order detection. Fixes an error where Netatalk on OpenIndiana returned wrong volume size information.

UPD: afdp: Automatic name conversion, renaming files and directories containing CAP sequences to their not enscaped forms

UPD: afpd: Correct handling of user homes and users without homes

UPD: afpd: Perform complete automatic adouble:v2 to adouble:ea conversion as root. Previously only unlinking the adouble:v2 file was done as root

UPD: dbd: -C option removes CAP encoding

UPD: Add graceful option to RedHat init script

UPD: Add --disable-bundled-libevent configure options When set to yes, we rely on a properly installed version on libevent CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS should be set properly to pick that up

UPD: Run ldconfig on Linux at the end of make install

FIX: afpd: ad cp on appledouble = ea volumes

FIX: dbd: ignore ._ appledouble files

REM: Volumes options "use dots" and "hex encoding"

UPD: Start scripts and service manifests have been changed to only start the new netatalk service controller process

UPD: afpd: UNIX privileges and use dots enabled by default

UPD: afpd: Support for arbitrary AFP volumes using variable expansion has been removed

UPD: afpd: afp_voluuid.conf and afp_signature.conf location has been changed to $localstatedir/netatalk/ (default: /var/netatalk/)

UPD: afpd: default server messages dir changed to $localstatedir/netatalk/msg/
