Netatalk 4.0.5

Netatalk 4.0.5 is available!

The Netatalk team is proud to announce the latest release in the Netatalk 4.0 release series.

This is a bugfix release with a handful of important fixes, recommended for all users of the Netatalk version 4 release series.

Standout fixes:

AppleTalk compatibility with Linux kernel 6.9 and later. We now attempt to suppress sending superfluous NBP Reply packets.
The return of pre-generated Unicode lookup table sources. This removes the hard dependencies on UnicodeData.txt and Perl that were introduced in version 4.0.0.
Fix for a critical bug in the Webmin module that triggered after defining a shared volume. This was a regression introduced in the 4.0.2 release version.
