ExtremeZ-IP 3.1.1x9 (Released: December 2, 2003)
ENHANCEMENTS:
* Improved performance over a WAN (wide area network) connections, especially ones with high bandwidth and high latency. [#2513]
BUG FIXES:
* Fixed problem with Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) where reading from the server was very slow. [#2496]
* Fixed problem where files with Unicode characters were not accessible from OS 9 if they were placed on the server from OS X. [#2478 and #2534]
ExtremeZ-IP 3.1.0x20 (Released: September 30, 2003)
ENHANCEMENTS
* Most enhancements in 3.1 relate to printing and are listed in the ExtremeZ-IP Print Read Me file.
* Added full support for Windows 2003.
* Reduced consumption of server resources by reducing the number of threads per volume.
* The EZIP server will update its Bonjour (Rendezvous) registration on the network dynamically.
* Removed volume deletion thread and combined it with another thread to reduce memory usage. This feature can be configured from the following registry entry -- enabling this key will revert ExtremeZ-IP to pre-3.1 behavior:
\HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ExtremeZ-IP\
(Key moved to \HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ExtremeZ-IP\Parameters4\NonRefreshable for 4.0)
Key: UseSeparateVolumeDeletionsThread
Default: Off
Refreshable: No
* Added support for Mac style permissions. Enabling this feature will cause ExtremeZ-IP to limit the permissions on folders to an owner, a single group, "Everyone" and the SYSTEM user. The default behavior of ExtremeZ-IP (and Windows in general) is to allow any number of users and groups to have permissions to a particular folder. By default, changing group permissions from the Macintosh client will change permissions for the primary group only -- any other groups with permissions to that folder will not be changed. Users that wish to restrict access to only the primary group should enable this new feature.
This feature can be configured from the following registry entry:
\HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ExtremeZ-IP\
(Key moved to \HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ExtremeZ-IP\Parameters4\NonRefreshable for 4.0)
Key: UseMacStylePermissions
Default: Off
Refreshable: No
BUG FIXES:
* Fixed a potential error that the installer could encounter when installing over a previous version. This could occur if AdjustMacPermissions.DLL or ShareWithEZIP.DLL had been loaded and Windows Explorer was not closed before re-installation.
* Fixed a bug that caused print support not to install properly if the trial version had previously been installed.
* Fixed bug where Register Server on AppleTalk Network setting would be lost after upgrading.
* Fixed crash when Mac client sent commands to EZIP after logout.
* Fixed problems with creation and modification dates on Mac OS X. These dates would appear different from the dates appearing on Windows and OS 9 by one or two minutes.
* Fixed issue with some UNICODE characters -- copying, deleting or moving files with certain UNICODE characters could fail.
* Fixed support for Unicode characters in file and usernames. Previously, files with names containing Unicode characters that were placed on the server from OS X could not be accessed from Mac OS 9.
* Fixed problems with volume names containing characters over ASCII 127 (e.g. "ü"). These volumes were not accessible from OS X.
* Fixed a bug that caused files with certain Unicode characters (over character #65,535) to be displayed improperly and fail to copy.
* Fixed a potential -50 error on Mac OS X when attempting to copy a file with certain characters in the filename from the client to an ExtremeZ-IP volume (characters 1-31).
* Fixed problems with certain characters, including "ß" "Å" and "å" -- files with this character could not be viewed properly from OS 9.
* Fixed possible stall if a large number of files are moved in or out of a shared ExtremeZ-IP volume at a high rate over a sustained period of time.
* Fixed potential repeated crash when attempting to access certain files.
* Fixed ghosted session issue - the Administrator would list multiple session from a single client machine, and would never disconnect these "ghosted" sessions.
* Fixed potential crash when disconnecting a session.
* Fixed potential crash when shutting down a session.
* Fixed problem with users being unable to connect to a server that is sharing many volumes.
* Added support for a separate send thread. This option can help to resolve problems that occur when Mac OS X users copy files from one ExtremeZ-IP volume to another. The problems may appear in the form of Mac users encountering "-36" errors or kernel panic crashes.
This feature can be configured from the following registry entry:
\HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ExtremeZ-IP\
(Key moved to \HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ExtremeZ-IP\Parameters4\NonRefreshable for 4.0)
Key: UseSeparateSendThread
Default: Off
Refreshable: No
