- ---- Start of Samba 2.0.0 port release notes ----
-
-
- Amiga_Samba_2.0.0 1.2 (20.2.99)
-
- - Added setvbuf() and rewind() emulation code.
-
- - The smbclient would invoke the "ls" or "find" programs to collect
- the names of files to be transferred in the "mput" command. The
- Amiga emulation code now notices these two special cases and
- supplies the requested data. Please note that due to how the
- pattern matching code works, you need to use AmigaDOS style
- wildcard patterns to select the files to transfer. Thus,
- "mput *.c" won't work but "mput #?.c" would.
-
- - Added a missing UnLock() in the unlink() emulation code.
-
- - Finally found out why the smbclient program would not print
- floating point numbers properly: the snprintf() code included
- with Samba did not support the required output format. I
- have added the missing code.
-
-
- Amiga_Samba_2.0.0 1.3 (20.2.99)
-
- - Replaced the AmigaDOS wild card pattern matching code with
- the "simple" Unix style version. This allows you to use
- the mput/mget smbclient commands without having to worry
- about the wild card syntax. For both commands the syntax
- is now the same.
-
-
- Amiga_Samba_2.0.0 1.4 (21.2.99)
-
- - Added putc/fputc/putchar emulation code.
-
- - Added setbuf emulation code.
-
-
- Amiga_Samba_2.0.0 1.5 (22.2.99)
-
- - Replaced the AmigaDOS record locking code with a custom
- implementation that does not rely upon LockRecord() or
- UnlockRecord(). Since the Samba tools depend upon a working
- file locking mechanism and a number of 3rd party filing
- systems do not implement rarely used packet types such as
- used by LockRecord() or UnlockRecord() this is probably the
- safest alternative.
-
- Please note that the new locking code is not as efficient
- as the old implementation and that it requires that all
- Amiga Samba tools running in the system bear the version number
- 1.5. If the version numbers don't match, you will crash
- the system.
-
-
- ---- Start of Samba 2.0.3 port release notes ----
-
-
- Amiga_Samba 1.3 (27.4.99)
-
- - The rename() wrapper code now performs similar to how BSD
- implements it. That is, if there already is a file by the
- destination name, that destination file is removed before the
- source file is renamed.
-
- - The getcwd() wrapper code now properly returns the current
- working directory if the previous chdir() call had set it to
- an absolute path.
-
- - No longer returns an error if the file modification date of
- a file currently in use cannot be changed in the utime()
- wrapper code.
-
- - The stat() wrapper code no longer gives up when the object
- to be examined is currently in use. Instead, the code now
- scans that object's parent directory, if there is one, and
- gets its information that way.
-
- - The file name mangler which converts between the Amiga
- and the Unix style file names did a bit too much when
- fixing up file names with trailing dot characters. It
- no longer removes those dots.
-
- - The lseek() wrapper code now knows how to extend files.
-
-
- Amiga_Samba 1.4 (2.5.99)
-
- - Notification requesters now have a timeout of 30 seconds.
- This helps if smbd somehow gets stuck in an error condition
- that can be fixed later by having it restarted. With the
- new code, the necessary error requester won't block forever
- but close 30 seconds after it has opened (or when the user
- clicks on the "Ok" button).
-
- - No longer returns an error if the file attributes of
- a file currently in use cannot be changed in the chmod()
- wrapper code. This helps the SAM SID file creation
- code.
-
-
- Amiga_Samba 1.6 (13.5.99)
-
- - Bumped to 1.6 for proper RCS checkin; no functional changes.
-
-
- Amiga_Samba 1.7 (21.5.99)
-
- - Removing a disk could cause Samba to lose track of the
- volumes currently available for reading. Fixed.
-
- - Added a missing #include <exec/memory.h> to the amiga.c
- emulation module.
-
-
- Amiga_Samba 1.8 (9.8.99)
-
- - Added recv() and send() wrapper code.
-
-
- Amiga_Samba 1.9 (15.10.1999)
-
- - Disabled the file extension code in the lseek() implementation.
- ftruncate() now does this job.
-
- - The "find" command emulated by the system() code now prints its
- file name list prefixed with the name of the directory the
- search started in, if this is necessary.
-
- - Fixed the snprintf() code again.
-
- - Added a wrapper for ObtainSemaphoreShared() which avoids a
- deadlock situation with Kickstart V37. It may not be necessary,
- but I'd like to play it safe.
-
-
- Amiga_Samba 1.10 (3.11.1999)
-
- - Created a wrapper for the smbrun utility. That is, Samba no longer
- invokes it but resorts to running the program smbrun was supposed
- to run directly. Note that the name of the program to run must follow
- the Unix naming conventions, i.e. "Work:program_name" will not
- work, but "/Work/program_name" should.
-
- - Samba no longer forces file names to be a maximum of 30 characters
- in size. It now verifies that the name is compatible with the
- underlying file system. This is done by trying to ask the file
- system about its idea how long the name of the given file or
- drawer would be. If the names disagree, e.g. the name reported
- by the file system is shorter than the one queried, Samba will
- consider the name too long and will complain.
-
- - The "ls" and "find" program emulation code found inside the Amiga
- system() function wrapper now properly lists files *and* drawers
- instead of listing only files. The code also tries to be smarter
- when listing the contents of the "fake root" directory.
-
-
- Amiga_Samba 1.11 (1.12.1999)
-
- - Added automatic interface detection code, as required by Samba 2.0.6.
- The code follows examples provided by Holger Kruse. Note that only
- interfaces which are currently "up" are detected. If you make an
- interface online later, you should use an "interfaces" line in the
- smb.conf file to specify its address and net mask. The code has
- been tested with AmiTCP Genesis but not with AmiTCP V4 yet.
-
-
- Amiga_Samba 1.12 (25.12.1999)
-
- - Verified that the interfaces detection code works with AmiTCP V4
- and AmiTCP Genesis. Well, at least it works for one single
- interface. I don't know yet whether it works for more than one.
- We'll have to see.
-
-
- ---- Start of Samba 2.0.7 port release notes ----
-
-
- Amiga_Samba 1.13 (22.5.2000)
-
- - Added dummy functions to provide for 'popen()' and 'pclose()' functionality.
- The code does nothing at all, it just flags errors. I have yet to find out
- if and how it can be put to good use.
-
- - Updated the copyright dates.
-
-
- Amiga_Samba 1.14 (24.5.2000)
-
- - Discovered that the code to check whether a file name was too long to
- handle for the file system didn't work at all and never could have
- worked. Thanks go to Paul Qureshi for suggesting I look at the
- code again.
-
-
- Amiga_Samba 1.15 (17.8.2000)
-
- - Modified 'testparm' so that it no longer complains about a potential
- security hole caused by inappropriate protection bits set for the
- "Samba:log/locks" directory. This was always a source of confusion
- for users who wrestled with the configuration and would find that
- 'testparm' had only one complaint: namely the protection bits of
- the locks directory. The protection bits are absolutely irrelevant
- in this context (AmigaDOS is not Unix).
-
-
- Amiga_Samba 1.16 (17.9.2000)
-
- - Changed the code that builds the error requester slightly. In case
- of memory shortage it could have thrown Enforcer hits. Thanks go
- to Gunther Nikl for pointing me to the bug.
-
- - Name translation could fail due to a signed/unsigned comparison
- going wrong, the net effect being a cascade of Enforcer hits.
- Thanks go to Gene Heskett for running Samba through "MuGuardianAngel"
- and of course to Thomas Richter for writing that tool in the
- first place.
-
-
- Amiga_Samba 1.18 (19.12.2000)
-
- - The mock PIDs the Samba tools would use are now derived from the
- respective CLI task numbers associated with the running programs.
-
- - Fixed a long standing bug in the 'virtual root' directory
- setup code. It would send packets to file systems while the
- volume list was still locked.
-
- - Modified the lines that built long aligned data structures to
- use a macro.
-
- - Fixed another long standing bug involving the virtual
- root directory setup code.
-
- - Added the root mode option which will make Samba treat all user
- IDs as 0.
-
-
- Amiga_Samba 1.19 (25.12.2000)
-
- - The ftruncate() emulation function did not verify that the file
- descriptor provided would in fact refer to a file; it would have
- happily used a socket instead. Fixed.
-
- - Following an attempt at 'software speleology' I discovered that the
- API functionality used by this Samba port could be adequately covered
- by the free AmiTCP version 3.0. Thus, the code no longer requires the
- commercial version. However, to the best of my knowledge the free
- AmiTCP version 3.0 does not run 'out of the box' and neither offers the
- features nor the speed the commercial solutions provide. You will
- probably be better off with the commercial products (Miami, AmiTCP 4.x,
- Miami Deluxe, AmiTCP Genesis).
