Netatalk 4.0.7

Netatalk 4.0.7 is available!

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

The theme of this release is *BSD compatibility in general, making NetBSD happy in particular. It fixes a handful of bugs that led to errors, warnings, or unwanted behavior on NetBSD. At a related note, netatalk4 is now available as a NetBSD pkgsrc package!

New build system options

• -Dwith-manual=man_only to compile and install only the troff man pages, not html pages
• -Dwith-manual-install-path defines a custom location to install the html pages
• -Dwith-perl-path defines a custom path to look for the perl binary in

Additionally, a breaking change in the build system is that the most recent Berkeley DB (bdb) library version is now favored, rather than the oldest one favored before. So if db5 and db4 are both installed, for instance, the former will be used now.
