AppleShare 3.0.3 Change History Release dates: - version 3.0.1 (9/92) - version 3.0.2 (6/93) - version 3.0.3 (9/93) Notes: ¥ All patches are incremental. All changes made in 3.0.1 are incorporated in 3.0.2, and all changes in 3.0.2 are incorporated in 3.0.3. Therefore, customers upgrading from 3.0, 3.0.1, or 3.0.2 to 3.0.3 will be running the most recent version of AppleShare file server. =============================================================================== AppleShare 3.0.1 =============================================================================== The following fixes/enchancement were made in AppleShare 3.0.1: FILE SERVER 3.0.1 ----------------- ¥ Fixed incompatibilities between CE Software (QuickMail 2.5) and AppleShare 3.0. ¥ When one client duplicated a large (several MB) file on the server, other clients would hang. The problem has been corrected so that the server will better service other requests during the duplication. ¥ Fixed a problem involving AppleShare and Retrospect Remote where if the Users & Groups file was backed up by Retrospect, users could no longer log into the server. ADMIN 3.0.1 ----------- ¥ "Users" folder access privileges incorrectly changed from explicit to inherited after the menu item "Verify Apple II Startup Info" was selected. ¥ AppleShare 3.0.1 now repairs damaged btree files. This fix eliminates occasional 2.0 to 3.0 upgrade failures. ¥ On System 7.1 the Admin in AppleShare 3.0 could not delete a user or group without hanging the machine with the File Server running. AppleShare 3.0 version 3.0.1 is now compatible with System 7.1. ¥ Fixed problems involving AppleShare 3.0's "Copy Item tooÉ" feature where copy would terminate with a "file not found" error if it encountered an invisible folder at the root of source folder. ¥ There was an occasional inherited privileges problem when updating from AppleShare 2.0 to 3.0. Access privileges were sometimes upgraded incorrectly user AppleShare 3.0. ¥ Selecting the menu item "Compact volume Access Privileges" caused launch limit settings to be lost. ¥ AppleShare 3.0 "Summary of Shared Item Report" did not work correctly. The report would sometimes show an incorrect owner and group with incorrect privileges. If you looked at the server itself, the privileges were set correctly; it was just that the report that was incorrect. PRINT SERVER 3.0.1 ------------------ ¥ The AppleShare Print Server previously did not properly handle contiguous paper feed on ImageWriter printers. (Extras were issued when printing continuously with feed paper through an ImageWriter II. The beginning of each subsequent page started further down on the page.) ¥ If many Macintosh clients were using the Print Server a lot, the Print Server could freeze up. ¥ If many Apple II clients were spooling to the Print Server, the clients that tried to talk to the Print Server, after the ninth client, would report problems communicating with the printer. This problem was in the AppleShare Print Server and the Apple II client software. AppleShare Print Server 3.0.1 will continue to work the older Apple II clients, but for full robustness and future compatibility it is recommended that users upgrade the Apple II client software to version GS/OS 6.0.1. ¥ If the AppleShare Print Server and the AppleShare File Server were running on the same Macintosh under heavy stress, it was possible for the Macintosh to crash or freeze up. Users will need to upgrade the AppleTalk drivers on their server MacintoshÕs by using the Network Software Installer version 1.2.3 or greater. =============================================================================== AppleShare 3.0.2 =============================================================================== The following fixes/enchancements were made in AppleShare 3.0.2: ¥ Allows Retrospect to properly back up the Users and Groups file. Previously caused an error whereby the file was left open and AppleTalk Remote Access clients couldn't dial into the network after a backup. There was no effect on AppleShare clients. ¥ Ups Max Cur Requests from 5 to 16 (although only 8 can be used) reducing the chance that a slow network link client (like an AppleTalk Remote Access client) will get a server timeout and hang until it retries. ¥ Fixes a bug related to B-Tree files that caused file system problems resulting in Open Error messages on random files once the bug occurred. Products that cause this bug to happen are: AppleSearch, AOCE, and other third party server products. =============================================================================== AppleShare 3.0.3 =============================================================================== The following fixes/enchancements were made in AppleShare 3.0.3: ¥ Version 3.0.3 fixes some incompatibilities between AppleShare and AOCE and AppleShare and AppleSearch. It is recommended that customers upgrade their AppleShare servers to version 3.0.3 if they will be running either AOCE or AppleSearch on their server. Copyright 1993, Apple Computer, Inc.
