Netatalk 4.4.1 is available!

The Netatalk team is proud to announce the latest version in the Netatalk 4.4 release series.

This release contains primarily a range of bugfixes and reliability improvements for the SQLite CNID backend.

Also of note is that as of this version, we bundle the subprojects (currently: bstring) in the release tarball. This is handy when building from tarball in an environment without internet access.

All users of previous Netatalk versions are encouraged to upgrade to 4.4.1.

This is a source-only release. To build:

# Extract the source
tar -xf netatalk-4.4.1.tar.xz
cd netatalk-4.4.1

# Configure and build
meson setup build
meson compile -C build

# Install
sudo meson install -C build
