Netatalk 3.2.5
DOCKER COMPATIBILITY ALERT
If you previously used the Netatalk 3.1.18 Docker image for making Time Machine backups in macOS, you may run into errors after upgrading to the Netatalk 3.2.0 image or later. It is recommended to discard the backup sparsebundle and redo the backup. If you absolutely must access the older backup sparsebundle, downgrading to the 3.1.18 image should restore access.
Netatalk 3.2.5 is available!
The Netatalk team is proud to announce the latest version in the Netatalk 3.2 release series.
This release contains primarily improvements and bug fixes for the Meson build system. All users of the 3.2 release series are recommended to upgrade their versions to 3.2.5.
Breaking changes
Shared and static libraries
The Meson build system has been modified to use the standard library() target for libatalk and UAM libraries, which makes the build system sensitive to the -Ddefault_library option to control whether to build static, shared, or both libraries.
As a result, on all supported platforms the default behavior is now that only shared libraries are built by default. If you need static libraries, use the option -Ddefault_library=static or -Ddefault_library=both.
FreeBSD init script
The FreeBSD init script is now installed into /usr/local/etc/rc.d, previously /etc/rc.d. This affects both Autotools and Meson build systems.
Added Features
The Meson build system got the following additional options:
-Dwith-cnid-mysql-backend-Dwith-init-dir(existed, but didn’t work before)
Additionally, MariaDB libraries can now be used to build the MySQL CNID backend library, in addition to MySQL.
