Netatalk 2.4.7 is available!

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

This release primarily contains bug fixes for the Meson build system. All users of the 2.4 release series who build with Meson are recommended to upgrade their versions to 2.4.7.

Breaking changes (Meson)

The RPATH build system option is now enabled by default, while the run-time linker config file is now controlled by an opt-in option.

Modify the default behavior with -Dwith-rpath and the newly added -Dwith-ldsoconf, both boolean options.

New Meson options

• -Dwith-init-dir
• -Dwith-ldsoconf
• -Dwith-lockfile-path
