Netatalk 2.4.2 is available!

The Netatalk team is proud to announce the latest version in the Netatalk 2.4 release series.

When using the Meson build system with the -Dwith-embedded-ssl flag, Netatalk now relies on a system OpenSSL or LibreSSL library as the provider of the CAST cryptography functions. At the same time, we remove source files that were reportedly incompatible with the redistribution terms of this package's license. All users of the 2.4 release series are strongly recommended to upgrade their versions to 2.4.2.
