https://netatalk.io/4.5/ReleaseNotes4.5.0beta

we have introduced advanced ARC cache and a wide range of deep optimizations that speed up file operations, especially noticeably when you enumerate a large number of files, i.e. when browsing a remote volume

see the new manual chapter on caching for instructions to to configure optimal cache for your deployment

this is also the version where the friendly new color volume icons for Classic Mac OS announced a few weeks ago are fully functional

we've made a lot of changes under the hood, therefore this beta release to give you all a chance to poke around with it before we roll out a production ready version 🤞🏼
