Netatalk 4.5.2 is available!

The Netatalk team is proud to announce the latest version in the Netatalk 4.5 release series.

This is a bugfix version that fixes a performance regression in the DSI transport layer caused by the security patches in version 4.5.1. In order to fix this, we made a ABI breaking change – dsi_writeinit changed to a pointer handoff signature – and consequently the libatalk soversion is bumped to 21.

A suite of hardening fixes to the EA and Spotlight code is also included.

All users of previous Netatalk versions are encouraged to upgrade to 4.5.2.
