===============================================================================
                            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 <CRs> 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.
