Netatalk 4.0.4 is available!

The Netatalk team is proud to announce the latest release in the Netatalk 4.0 release series.

This release contains an afpd bug fix for a long-standing data loss bug, improvements to the build system to enable compilation on OpenWrt, as well as further refinement of the afptest test suite.

The AFP specification test suite has gotten an overhaul and has additional tests with higher reliability. The previously stand-alone afp_encodingtest has been merged into the afp_spectest. Additionally, the afp_ls executable has been removed and its functionality added to afparg.

See the testsuite README for more details on how to run the tests.

All users of the 4.0 release series are recommended to upgrade to Netatalk 4.0.4.
