Netatalk 2.2.8 is now available!
It is a bugfix and documentation release. All users of Netatalk 2.2.x are advised to upgrade.
I spent some time overhauling man pages and the html manual, so these should be accurate and up to date to use as reference.
One of my favorite updates in this version, is that DDP / AppleTalk are now enabled by default (again). In Netatalk 2.1 they turned DDP off by default, in preparation for the deprecation. But now you are once again able to run ./configure without any parameters, and use afpd without modifying afpd.conf, and have AppleTalk working out of the box.
I've also made a few fixes so that Netatalk works again on OmniOS / Illumos / Solaris out of the box, as well as on Fedora and openSUSE (for all of you who run old-fashioned distros!) Note that it takes some effort to get the AppleTalk kernel module to work on the aforementioned distros, so NetBSD and Debian are still your best bets for AppleTalk support.
Enjoy! Please report any bugs that you find.
