DOCKER COMPATIBILITY ALERT

If you previously used the Netatalk 3.1.18 Docker image for making Time Machine backups in macOS, you may run into errors after upgrading to the Netatalk 3.2.0 image or later. It is recommended to discard the backup sparsebundle and redo the backup. If you absolutely must access the older backup sparsebundle, downgrading to the 3.1.18 image should restore access.

Netatalk 3.2.10 is available

The Netatalk team is proud to announce the latest version in the Netatalk 3.2 release series.

This release includes these notable fixes:

• With the default Meson settings, debugging mode would be enabled which turns off server tickles. This leads to client disconnections after a short idle time. This bug was introduced in Netatalk 3.2.1.
• Fixed bug that caused errors when authenticating with the ClearTxt UAM with shadow passwords. Does not affect PAM. This bug was introduced in Netatalk 3.2.1.
• Changed the default D-Bus config file installation path from etc/dbus-1/system.d to share/dbus-1/system.d. This is the cross-platform standard as per at least 2015.

All users of the 3.2 release series are recommended to upgrade their versions to 3.2.10.
