Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog,

Unreleased

Added

  • Official support for DragonFly BSD

1.23 - 2026-02-13

Changed

  • Terminal output is now in color when supported by the terminal. Because it is 2026. NO_COLOR and FORCE_COLOR environment variables are fully supported too.
  • Command line help now wraps correctly at the terminal edge
  • Manpage is now generated using Asciidoctor.
  • Updated 3rd party dependencies

Fixed

  • log-level command line flag/config setting is now working correctly again.

1.22 - 2025-10-19

Added

  • Support building and running on operating systems that lack either Netlink or PF_ROUTE mechanisms (such as for example Haiku OS). On such systems network interface changes after wsddn startup are not detected.
  • Automatic daemon user creation when running as root is now supported on Alpine and Illumos

Fixed

  • Binary packages no longer declare conflict with wsdd (#23)
  • Man pages now correctly describe default log destinations
  • Miscellaneous fixes around automatic daemon user creation when running as root:
    • Security hardening around invoking OS user creation commands
    • Better user defaults to align with conventions on known platforms

Changed

  • Updated 3rd party dependencies
  • Made log messages more uniform and informative.
  • Replaced single WSDDN_PREFER_SYSTEM CMake setting with per-dependency WSDDN_PREFER_SYSTEM_<UPPERCASE_DEP_NAME> ones

1.21 - 2025-08-04

Added

  • A binary package is now available for OpenBSD. Look for wsddn-x.y-OpenBSD-amd64.tgz under Releases
  • Configuration file samples for OpenBSD have been provided under config/openbsd (h/t Ron Taylor)

Fixed

  • Samba config detection now works properly when samba tool is not present. Detection is also no longer depends on whereis tool. This is particularly an issue on OpenBSD but can be a problem on other platforms too (#17)
  • OpenBSD: UDP writes blocked by firewall no longer stop all processing on an interface (#18)
  • OpenBSD and potentially other less common BSD variants: wsddn now properly handles older BSD behavior where reading from multicast IPv4 sockets surfaces packets sent to all interfaces, not the one the socket is restricted to (#19)
  • OpenBSD and NetBSD: automatic daemon user creation now works properly. The default expected daemon user name is now "_wsddn" on both systems.
  • OpenSUSE: RPM package now installs cleanly without warning about missing firewalld-filesystem dependency
  • CMake build: build is now correctly reconfigures itself when sys_config.h.in changes

Changed

  • To optimize network traffic wsddn now sends resolving address directly in the WSD Hello message rather than waiting for a call from Windows. This is similar to what wsdd does. There appears to be no real security benefit in not doing so and it reduces startup traffic significantly.
  • FreeBSD config files now live under config/freebsd instead of config/bsd (all BSDs are not the same unfortunately)
  • Arch AUR: package build no longer requires network access during build step

1.20 - 2025-07-19

Fixed

  • CMake build break when building a clean tree

1.19 - 2025-06-28

Changed

  • Updated 3rd party dependencies

1.18 - 2025-03-27

Fixed

  • macOS: "Allow in the background" settings now show "wsdd-native" rather than the author name (#16)

Changed

  • Updated 3rd party dependencies

1.17 - 2025-03-09

Changed

  • libuuid dependency has been replaced with modern-uuid
  • Updated 3rd party dependencies

1.16 - 2025-01-12

Added

  • --source-port command line argument and source-port config file option to set the source port for multicast messages for better firewall interoperability.
  • Configuration files for firewalld. These are now also delivered and used in RPM binary packages.

Changed

  • Updated 3rd party dependencies
  • Firewall configuration files now live under config/firewalls

1.15 - 2024-10-03

Changed

  • Updated 3rd party dependencies

1.14 - 2024-05-29

Fixed

  • Removed superfluous/misleading warning log messages (#10)

1.13 - 2024-05-16

Added

  • On Linux KSMBD configuration is now auto-detected if Samba configuration is not present.
  • Binary packages are now available for Arch Linux and Alpine

Fixed

  • Daemon Pidfile now has correct owner

1.12 - 2024-05-06

Added

  • Debian binary packages no longer require systemd presence. They can now be used on non-systemd based distributions as well as Docker. SysVInit scripts are now provided and "do the right thing" on systemd and non-systemd systems.
  • Support for NetBSD
  • Support for illumos

1.10 - 2024-04-30

Added

  • Ability to supply custom metadata to Windows. This allows exposing the computer running wsdd-native as something other than an SMB server in Windows Explorer. For more details see this page
  • Support for Alpine Linux and musl libc
  • Support for OpenBSD

Fixed

  • Crash when looking up Samba configuration and whereis tool is not present on the host

1.6 - 2023-07-29

Added

  • Added application profile for UFW on Debian/Ubuntu distribution
  • Added armhf distribution for Debian/Ubuntu

Changed

  • Updated 3rd party dependencies

1.5 - 2023-07-21

Fixed:

  • macOS: Hopefully final fix for #4: _wsddn user is reassigned to staff group on OS update

Changed:

  • Replaced ad-hoc calls to various Posix-y APIs with ptl

1.4 - 2023-06-16

Fixed:

  • macOS: Corrected _wsddn group definition so it is no longer removed from _wsddn user on macOS upgrade and no longer shown as available user group in Settings.
  • macOS: Made the macOS warning about startup software say "wsddn.app" rather than "Eugene Gershnik" (my developer account name).

1.3 - 2023-05-27

Added

  • macOS: Macports distribution is now available

Fixed

  • macOS: child process now logs with correct subsystem and category

Changed

  • Updated all dependencies to latest versions as of 2023-05-18

Fixed

  • All platforms: wsddn --version always reporting "0.1"
