Since 1.5.74
 * Revise SMB QuerySecurityInfo Response for MS10-020

   MS10-020 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/980232) has caused
   many problems for implementors of SMB 1.0 servers and applications
   that call GetFileSecurity() without checking the return code to
   determine if the call succeeded.  The gist of the vulnerability
   was that the SMB redirector would pass any buffer it received
   to the application regardless of whether or not it was valid.
   MS10-020 protects the applications by strictly validating the
   SMB response data structure and the data in the security descriptor
   that is returned.

   The problem for SMB 1.0 server implementors is that there have
   been at least three different protocol descriptions for
   NT_TRANSACT_QUERY_SECURITY_DESC published over the last decade
   and all of them are incomplete.  Therefore, just about no one but
   Microsoft has an SMB 1.0 server implementation that produces the
   exact out that they are expecting to validate.

   The end result is that in an attempt to protect applications from
   crashing due to invalid input being passed in directly caused
   dozens of applications to crash by not returning any security
   descriptor data at all.  Even when the applications didn't crash
   they might not have been able to save their data.  Cisco WAAS
   and NetApp DataOnTap systems were most adversely affected and
   they have had CIFS protocol licenses for many many years.

   To fix OpenAFS here is what needed to be done:

   1. Instead of returning a security descriptor that gives ownership
      to the NUL SID, give it to the Everyone SID and set the flag
      that states that everyone has full access.

   2. Validate the input parameters.  In particular, check to ensure
      that the SMB file descriptor is valid and the file has not
      been deleted.

   3. Enforce the maximum output data and parameter counts.

   4. Handle buffer overflow and buffertoosmall conditions
      in the manner that Microsoft expects them to be handled.
      In particular, note that the parameter data which is returned
      in the SMB Data Region is not counted in the Data Count.
      Even if MaxData is 0, we can still return parameters values
      as long as MaxParm is large enough.

 * Prevent use of AFSCache file contents if mapped to
   a new address.

 * The Windows version of "fs newcell" did not accept any parameters
   and behaved quite differently from the Unix version.  Instead of
   permitting new cell information to be added, the Windows version
   simply forced the existing cell information to be reacquired.

   This update adds a new pioctl, VIOCNEWCELL2, to support the
   implementation of a Unix-style "fs newcell".  The functionality
   added here differs from the Unix version in the following ways:

     1. "fs newcell" with no arguments is still accepted
        in order to maintain compatibility with prior Windows
        behavior.

     2. "fs newcell -cell <cell> -dns" instructs the cache manager
        to add the new cell but obtain the vldb server info from
        DNS.

     3. "fs newcell -cell <cell> ... -registry" instructs the cache
        manager to add the new cell and also save the cell configuration
        data in the registry for use the next time the service restarts.

     4. The -vlport and -fsport options are accepted although the
        -fsport value is currently unsupported by the cache manager.

 * New registry value "FreelanceImportCellServDB" instructs Freelance
   to create a mount point for every cell name listed within the
   CellServDB.

 * Path MTU discovery for Rx is activated.

 * Rx socket input buffer is converted to a circular buffer.

 * Fix usage of cm_FreeServerList().  Do not set the server list
   pointer to NULL after calling cm_FreeServerList().  Doing so
   can result in a memory leak.

 * Only enable Rx NAT pings on a single anonymous connection at a
   time.

 * Fix cm_IoctlSkipQueryOptions() buffer management.  Prevents a
   potential read beyond end of memory buffer.

 * Reduce requested privileges when reading registry CellServDB
   to the minimum required.

 * Add support for RPC Pipe Service NetWkstaGetInfo levels
   101 and 102 which are called on Windows 7 and 2008-R2.

 * Prevent integer overflow during quota percent used calculation
   in Explorer Shell Extension  (RT 126846)

 * Generate a meaningful error if "fs listacls" or "fs setacls"
   are executed on the Freelance root.afs volume.

 * RXAFS_InlineBulkStat errors must be processed via cm_Analyze.
   RXAFS_InlineBulkStatus does not return errors such as EACCES,
   VNOVOL, VNOVNODE, VOFFLINE, VBUSY, VIO, VMOVED, etc. as an RPC return
   code.  Instead they are returned in the status info errorCode field
   for each file.

   Traditionally, the error associated with the first FID in the query
   list has been returned to the caller of cm_TryBulkStatRPC().
   However, the error has never been processed through cm_Analyze()
   which means that the per-vnode processing for VNOVNODE and the volume
   global processing for VMOVED, VNOVOL, etc. has never been performed.
   As a result, failover to other .readonly volume instances cannot occur,
   volume moves will not be handled, and files that have been deleted
   are not detected.

   This patchset makes the following changes:

   1. If an inline bulk operation has been performed and the inline
      errorCode is a volume global error, then that error replaces
      the RPC return code within the cm_Analyze() processing for
      the RPC.  This will affect whether or not a retry operation
      is performed.

   2. The variable 'inlinebulk' is reset to 0 at the top of the
      cm_Analyze() loop in case failover from an inlinebulk capable
      file to an inlinebulk incapable file server takes place.

   3. The FID that is passed into cm_Analyze() is not a real fid.
      Instead it consists of the cell and volume but vnode = 0.
      This ensures that the error (if any) is not applied to the
      directory object.

   4. If an inline bulk operation was performed, prior to performing
      the cm_MergeStatus() operation a vnode a check is made to
      determine if an error was returned for that vnode.  If so,
      cm_Analyze() is called with no connection, a fake cm_req_t,
      the fid, and the error.  This permits cm_Analyze() processing
      to be performed on the file.  

 * Show configuration pages for all types of MSI installations

   The OpenAFS MSI installer wizard used to not show any configuration
   pages for "Typical" and "Complete" installations.  Setting the
   workstation cell and logon options during installation required
   selecting the "Custom" option.  Many users choose the "Typical" option
   during installation, and thus would never see the configuration pages.
   Therefore, for these users, the workstation cell was being set to the
   default.

   This patch makes the workstation cell and logon option configuration
   pages visible to all types of installations (except silent
   installations which show no UI).

 * cm_LookupInternal creates Freelance mount points and symlinks
   when queries cannot be found in the Freelance root.afs directory.
   If the search name is a full cell name for which vldb information
   can be obtained, then a mount point is added.  If the search name
   is a left-most substring or the full cell name with a dot appended
   to it, then a symlink was created.  This approach created a very
   poluted Freelance name space.

   This patchset makes the following changes:

    1. Do not create symlinks with a dot appended to the cellname

    2. Do not create symlinks where the left-most substring is not
       a full dot separated component of the cellname.

    3. Permit lookups to succeed when we would have created a
       symlink in the past without creating the symlink.

 * BPlus tree lookups are much faster than searching through
   the native directory format on Windows because the case sensitive
   hash tables cannot be used successfully.  Permit BPlus trees
   to be used except when called with cm_BPlusDirFoo as the action
   function because cm_BPlusDirFoo is used to build the BPlus trees
   from the native directory format.

 * Symlinks are ending up in the Freelance root.afs directory that
   end with a dot.  Make sure it cannot happen.

 * cm_FreelanceAddMount and cm_FreelanceAddSymlink is supposed to
   return the allocated FID of the entry that was added.  However,
   cm_NameI is called to perform the lookup without forcing an update
   of the Freelance fake directory.  As a result the entry may not be
   found.

   Force an update prior to calling cm_NameI() by using
   cm_clearLocalMountPointChange() and cm_reInitLocalMountPoints()
   if required.

 * The Freelance fake root directory buffers were not zero-filled.
   This results in random behavior that can cause the service to
   terminate unexpectedly.

 * The validation check for the response from the GetVolumeStatus
   pioctl is incorrect.  The response is not simply a VolumeStatus
   structure but also several C strings appended to it.

 * When flushing a file, we need to commit the file length changes
   as well as the dirty buffers.  Call cm_FSync instead of buf_CleanVnode
   which is called by cm_FSync.

 * Prevent rx_rpc_stats global lock from being a bottleneck in the
   Rx library.

Since 1.5.73

 * Avoid a race when updating cell vldb server lists
   that can result in a crash.

 * Avoid a deadlock when managing CM_SCACHESYNC_STOREDATA
   state operations for directory objects.

 * Add new Windows Application Event log messages for
   VBUSY, VRESTARTING, ALL_BUSY, ALL_OFFLINE, and ALL_DOWN.
   Include message throttling to prevent the same message
   from being logged repeatedly within a five second window.

 * Reduce lock contention by waiting for cm_buf_t I/O
   operations to complete before permitting cm_SetupStoreBIOD
   to analyze a buffer for inclusion in a BIOD.

 * Split the cm_buf_t flags field to separate the flags
   that are protected by the cm_buf_t mutex from those
   protected by the buf_globalLock.  This eliminates the need
   to hold both locks everytime the flags field is accessed.
   Both locks were not held in the past resulting in race
   conditions that could result in deadlocks.

 * Add "vos setaddrs" command.

 * Rx library lock contention avoidance between rx_NewCall and
   rx_EndCall.

 * Rx library races due to inconsistent use of rx_connection
   conn_data_lock to protect the flags field.

 * Rx library inconsistent use of RX_CALL_TQ_WAIT which could
   result in deadlocks.

 * Rx library must signal transmit queue waiters when flushing.
   Otherwise, deadlocks can occur.

 * In cm_UpdateVolumeLocation, avoid searching for a ".readonly"
   volume on a numeric volume name.

 * File buffer allocations whose offsets are beyond server EOF
   should be locally allocated and zero filled.  The file server
   should not be issued a FetchData rpc which is guaranteed to
   fail.

 * Enable integrated logon to work with Windows 7/2008 when
   user logons are performed with a non-Domain Kerberos principal.

 * Add Protection Error messages to aklog output.

Since 1.5.72

 * Prevent the Explorer Shell extension from crashing if
   symlink creation failed.  (126406)

 * A Rx level NAT ping has been implemented.
   Add NatPingInterval registry value to
     HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAFSDaemon\Parameters
   to permit Nat Ping to be enabled.  The default value is 0 seconds.

 * When a re-initialization is taking place, be sure to reset
   cm_noLocalMountPoints to 0 in case someone deletes the "Freelance"
   registry key out from underneath the service.

 * Add krb5 error message translation to aklog, afscreds,
   afslogon.dll, the network identity manager afs provider
   and translate_et.

 * Mode bits aren't directly exposed by the Win32 API. We were leaving
   them to default to 0777 when creating new files and directories.
   This version introduces two configuration parameters;
   'UnixModeFileDefault' and 'UnixModeDirDefault' which are DWORD
   registry entries that are used to set the initial mode bits.
   If the values are set to 0, then the behavior is identical to what we
   had before.

 * Minidump files are now produced with a timestamp appended
   to the name.

 * An SMB request debugging monitor has been added.  When activated
   the monitor will automatically turn on trace logging if any SMB
   request has required longer than 60 seconds to complete and will
   then create a minidump every 60 seconds thereafter until the
   request completes.

Since 1.5.71

 * Restore use of DNS AFSDB and SRV records by kaserver clients.

Since 1.5.70

 * Avoid a potential Freelance deadlock during initial execution 
   of afsd_service.exe if the old ini file data has to be
   imported.

 * Three rx library corrections.  (1) Idle data connection
   processing could timeout if the send window filled and
   took longer than the idle data timeout period for the
   transmit window to re-open.  (2) The transmit queue
   could be emptied prematurely.  A required check for the
   queue being in use was forgotten.  (3) The function that
   is supposed to implement a wait for the transmit queue
   to cease being busy failed to wait.

Since 1.5.69
 * Restore use of DNS AFSDB and SRV records which were
   unintentionally disabled in 1.5.69

Since 1.5.68
 * Add a context menu to the NetIdMgr AFS Provider 
   notification icon.

 * Prevent an empty directory Btree from being created and
   marked as valid if cm_BPlusDirBuildTree fails.

 * cm_BPlusEnumAlloc should not fail if the enumeration
   contains zero entries.

 * In cm_BPlusXXX functions, return ENOMEM if malloc() fails.

 * Do not leak the cm_scache_t dirlock if cm_BPlusDirBuildTree
   fails.

 * fs examine should report owner and group ids as signed values.

 * Protect buffers in smb_WriteData from simultaneous writes.

 * Query network interface MTU values from the registry because
   the IP Helper GetAdapterAddresses() fails to report a manually
   configured MTU.

 * Improve performance by not dropping and reacquiring the rx_call
   lock in rx_WriteProc* and rx_ReadProc*.

 * When configuring the rx library, the network interface MTU
   must be applied to both the maximum send size as well as the
   maximum receive size as is done when rx_SetMaxMTU is called
   by the application.

There was no 1.5.67 release

Since 1.5.66
 * Convert afsauthent.dll to use the xdr_alloc and xdr_free
   routines from afsrpc.dll in place of malloc and free.
   This permits the two libraries to be built with different
   C runtime libraries without crashing.

 * Set the DOS Readonly attribute on a file/directory 
   whenever the unix mode combined with the mask 0200 
   is true.  Previously there was a discrepency between
   the mask used for testing for readonly behavior and
   that used for setting the attribute.

 * Disable AFSVolSync based .readonly "whole-volume callback"
   support because the all file servers prior to 1.5.67
   (and perhaps 1.4.12) do not properly assign a value to
   the AFSVolSync structure in bulk status RPC responses.

 * Improve the error output from aklog to output the value
   from krb5 error_message() if the afs_com_err output
   indicates an unknown value.

 * Hold a lock on the cm_scache_t object when the smb
   server is assigning a new clientModTime value.

 * Permit custom build version numbers to be set
   without modifying the src/config/NTMakefile.<platform>
   files.

 * Add support for binary code signing with cross-signed
   certificates and arbitrary versions of signtool.exe.

 * Convert VBUSY and VRESTARTING to CM_ERROR_ALLBUSY and
   do not permit them to be exposed to the smb redirector.

 * Convert STATUS_TIMEOUT responses to STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT
   to avoid confusion within the smb redirector.

 * Fix the byte order assigned to port numbers associated
   with AFSDB record lookups.  They must be network byte 
   order not host byte order.

 * Add dynamic server ranking based on RPC round trip
   time measurements.

Since 1.5.65
 * Official support for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2

 * Improved Rx RTT computation following the lessons
   learned by TCP.

 * Prevent a file server bug (FetchData returning an
   invalid length instead of zero) from causing an
   "unexpected network error" when writing to files.

 * Promote DNS SRV records as superior to DNS AFSDB
   records.  Support arbitrary port numbers for vldb
   servers.

 * Add "fs listacl -cmd" support.

 * Add AFSVolSync based .readonly "whole-volume callback"
   support.  With this functionality, multiple objects from
   a .readonly volume can have their status validated by
   issuing a single RXAFS_FetchStatus RPC.

 * Remove drive mapping functionality and service start/stop
   from afscreds.exe.

 * Remove drive mapping functionality from afs_config.exe.

 * Adjust SMB error return codes to avoid returning 
   STATUS_TIMEOUT which results in the SMB redirector
   disconnecting.

 * Network Identity Manager OpenAFS Provider now provides its
   own "AFS lock" notification icon to report the status of
   "have tokens, have no tokens, service not started, service
   started but inaccessible".  Hovering over the icon lists the
   cells for which tokens exist (if any) and the OpenAFS version
   number.  Double-clicking executes the Network Identity Manager
   default action.

 * When merging the current status for an AFS object, ensure
   that the volume status for that object is set to 'vl_online'.

 * Permit cm_Analyze to request a retry even when the cm_req_t is
   flagged CM_REQ_NORETRY if the RPC failed due to RX_CALL_DEAD.
   The retry will force the use of a new connection.

 * Add digital signatures to resource only dlls as required by
   Windows 7.

 * Prevent pioctl calls from retrying indefinitely when a sharing
   violation error occurs.

 * Add {HKLM,HKCU}\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client  DWORD  "ShowMountTab"
   to restore access to drive mapping functionality in afscreds.exe
   and afs_config.exe.

 * Permit Rx minimum peer timeout, maximum receive window size and
   maximum send window size to be configured via the registry.

 * The MSI installer now sets the ARPINSTALLLOCATION as required by
   Windows 7.

 * DNS lookups set the port numbers in network byte order within
   the cache manager.

 * Replace use of the 16-bit compatibility API WinExec with
   ShellExecuteEx in afs_config.exe and afscreds.exe.  WinExec
   is incompatible with Windows 7 / Server 2008 R2 UAC 
   functionality.

Since 1.5.64
 * Short circuit background volume checks if a shutdown
   or suspend request is received.

 * Avoid contacting the file server in order to allocate
   an empty buffer beyond the current length of the file.

 * When a request for streams on a directory or mount 
   point object is received, do not offer a default stream.
   This was affecting the saving of roaming profiles.

Since 1.5.63
 * Fix Windows 2000 compatibility.  Do not call rand_s() 
   even if it is compatible with the C run time library
   version.

 * Fix a data consistency error between the output of 
   NetWkstaGetInfo and NetServerGetInfo RPCs, specify the Lan 
   workstation group name "AFS", and report server name as 
   "AFS" instead of "\\AFS" when the caller asks for "\\AFS".

 * Enable executables to be run from \\AFS on Windows 7.  
   Return "Name not found" instead of "File not found" when 
   a directory or file name cannot be found.

 * Prevent cache manager from marking file server "down" when 
   the data returned in response to either RXAFS_FetchData64 
   or RXAFS_StoreData64 is invalid.

 * Add pioctl data validation to the AFS Explorer Shell extension.

Since 1.5.62
 * After 1.5.62 afslogon.dll would no longer crash but it 
   also would not load "domain" specific configurations.
   Fixed.

 * An uninitialized variable was present in the symlink
   recursion detection loop.

 * Reverse addition of unique per file GUID during 
   Create/Open responses. Inclusion of the GUID prevents 
   Cygwin applications (and others) from accessing //afs.

 * Treat "filename::$DATA" as a synonym for "filename".  
   This addresses the recent report of roaming profiles 
   failing to save back to the file server.

 * When given a choice between an error from rx_Write() 
   or RXAFS_EndStoreData(), use the rx_Write() error.  
   This ensures that over quota and access denied errors 
   are acted upon.

 * If an error occurs during RXAFS_StoreData operations, 
   apply that error to all of the buffers in the BIOD. 
   This ensures that failures will not be retried if they 
   will only fail again.

 * Do not perform a DNS lookup for a cellname if the 
   cellname prefix is _._AFS_IOCTL_._.  This will avoid 
   DNS lookups when the query is for 
   _._AFS_IOCTL_._.F7E5F580200909010061TTTTNT7TT.{10E39A49-4531-4496-A08E-842D4C440D20}.

 * Fix Freelance root.afs volume object callback processing.  
   Object synchronization and status merging bugs.

 * Fix Explorer Shell "invalid parameter" bug introduced 
   in 1.5.62.

 * Log RXKAD errors to the trace log.

 * Prevent simultaneous pioctl calls from multiple processes 
   from stepping on each other's data.

 * Prevent simultaneous pioctl calls from crashing the 
   afsd_service.

 * Add data validation to pioctl output processing in 
   ktc_GetToken and ktc_ListTokens.

 * Add data validation to pioctl output processing in 
   fs.exe and symlink.exe.

Since 1.5.61
 * IMPORTANT: New support for DCE RPC Services: SRVSVC and WKSSVC.
   No longer will browsing \\AFS produce truncated share names.

 * Registry specified server preferences did not result in
   the CM_SERVERFLAG_PREF_SET flag being applied to the
   cm_server_t object.  

 * Avoid unnecessary DNS lookups of share names as cells
   when it is known that the name cannot be a cell name.
   Any name that does not contain a dot is skipped.

 * When processing Dfs Referral requests, do not return an
   error if the server is down or busy; if the volume is
   offline; the cell vldb cannot be reached; etc.
   These paths are still \\AFS paths and so the client 
   should not be sent to search elsewhere for resolution.

 * CRITICAL: Prevent the cm_Daemon thread from terminating when
   the machine enters the suspend state.  IF the cm_Daemon thread
   dies, there is nothing to execute down server checks.

 * Prevent use of smb_StartedLock before initialization which
   can result in a panic in the lock package.

 * Improve error checking in afslogon.dll in order to prevent
   NULL pointer dereferences within GetLogonDomainOptions()
   if the Lsa operations fail.

 * Add support to the build system to automatically update
   a Microsoft Symbol Store.

 * Do not access the cm_conn_t after executing the cm_Analyze
   loops.  Doing so can result in an access to memory that has
   been freed.

 * CRITICAL: If a StoreData request offset is not aligned on the 
   buffer module blockSize, (offset % blockSize) bytes of dirty
   data will not be written to the file server.

 * CRITICAL: If a StoreData64 request is sent to a file server
   that does not support large files (>2GB) and the client is 
   unaware that the server has no large file support, the first 
   chunksize worth of data will not be written to the file server.
   This bug was introduced in 1.5.3.   It affects all IBM AFS file
   servers and all OpenAFS file servers older than 1.4.0.

Since 1.5.60
 * If a file server becomes inaccessible while the cache manager has 
   dirty buffers to write, the afsd_service buf_IncrSync thread can 
   attempt to use 100% of the cpu.

 * Fix the locking that protects the cm_cell_t lists 
   (all, name, id, free).

 * Remove cm_cell_t objects from the name and id hash tables before 
   placing them on the free list.

 * Fix "fs newcell" which was broken in 1.5.60.

 * Do not attempt to synchronize dirty buffers if the associated 
   volume is known to be unavailable.

 * Log to the Windows Event Log dirty buffers that cannot be written 
   during the shutdown process.

 * Modify behavior of a Freelance mountpoint target that does not 
   specify a cell.  Instead of assuming the target volume is in the 
   Freelance.Local cell, use the workstation "Cell" specified in the 
   registry. A mountpoint target of "#root.cell." will now mean the 
   root.cell volume in the workstation cell for the current session.  
   If the workstation cell changes from "athena.mit.edu" to 
   "andrew.cmu.edu", the referenced volume will also change without 
   requiring that the mount point targets be altered.

 * Avoid false infinite loop errors when validating the cm_cell_t 
   free list during startup.

 * Fix two more locations where xdr_free() should be used instead of 
   free() to permit a checked built of afsd_service.exe to work with 
   release builds of afsrpc.dll.

 * Add cm_FindServerByUuid().  Re-implement RXAFS_InitCallBackState3() 
   to permit the server Uuid to be used to lookup the server object 
   and from that determine the cell.  This permits callbacks that are 
   received from alternate addresses to be processed with a known server 
   object.  Previously a request from an unknown server would clear all 
   callbacks from all cells.

 * Fix a bug that prevented optimal performance when using a non-zero 
   value for 'daemonCheckVolCBInterval'.  As a reminder, when 
   "daemonCheckVolCBInterval" is set to a non-zero value, all .readonly 
   volume callbacks are automatically renewed 90 minutes before their 
   expiration.

 * Fix automatic ranking of vldb servers whose values are obtained from 
   the CellServDB file.

 * Add logging for RX CALL DEAD errors which are generated if the remote 
   host is unreachable.

 * Add failover for RX CALL TIMEOUT errors when the volume is readonly 
   or the call is to a vldb server.

 * Add registry based cell search functionality to NetIdMgr, 
   afs_config.exe, and klog.exe.

 * afsconf_GetCellInfo() has been modified to perform gethostbyname() 
   lookups on the host names in the CellServDB instead of using the 
   specified IP addresses.  This provides aklog, pts, vos, etc. the same 
   CellServDB behavior that the Windows Cache Manager uses.

 * Completely a behind the scenes change.  The snprintf() routines have 
   been completely rewritten.

 * When updating the stat cache entry callback of a .readonly object 
   from the volume group object, update the file server reference to 
   ensure it matches the most update to date callback.

 * Add proper support for processing callbacks from multi-homed file 
   servers.  Instead of comparing servers by cm_server_t pointer, 
   compare them by UUID when the UUID is known.

 * During a shutdown short circuit the offline volume check daemon 
   functionality.

 * Properly track link counts during cm_Link and cm_Unlink operations.

 * Return the error code of RXAFS_FetchData / RXAFS_StoreData in 
   preference to an error code reported by rx_EndCall.

 * Add "PerFileAccessCheck" registry value to permit testing against 
   experimental file servers that include per-file acl support.  This 
   value is intentionally undocumented.  It is not to be used by
   production environment deployments.

 * Log a warning to trace log if a volume group is marked as a DFS 
   File Set.  The Windows OpenAFS client does not include DFS support.

 * Fix a bug introduced in 1.5.60 that prevents the afs netidmgr 
   provider from obtaining tokens when referrals are in play.

 * Add "fs chown" and "fs chgrp" commands to permit the owner and 
   group of objects stored in AFS to be set from Windows.

 * Avoid performing background daemon operations when the machine is 
   going into suspend mode.

 * Perform offline volume checks in most recently used order.

 * Prevent crash when a data version for a cache object goes backwards.

 * fs setquota, fs setcachesize, vos setfields, and vos create now 
   accept human readable orders of magnitude. (K, M, G)

 * fs listquota fixed to permit large quota sizes to be displayed.

 * rx packet resend and data packets sent counts were incorrect.

 * Multi-thread safe library versions are now being generated and used.  
   mtafsubik.lib, mtafsutil.lib, mtafsvldb.lib, mtafsvol.lib.

 * Microsoft SMB Redirector (mrxsmb.sys) support for ExtendedSessTimeout
   values are now available on XP through Windows 7.  Add functionality
   to autodetect if such support is present on the machine.  If so,
   configure it if necessary and dynamically adjust the AFS Rx timeout
   values accordingly.

 * Correct another race condition in the Rx library that could result
   in an unexpected panic while freeing the Rx call iovq.

Since 1.5.59
 * A fix to the pioctl library to support drive substitution 
   to UNC paths.  (SUBST <d:> <\\afs\cell\path>).

 * On April 9th Microsoft released a Hot Fix for Windows Server 2003 SP2 
   that corrects a deadlock in the smb redirector and also adds new 
   functionality that permits the AFS SMB server to be given a longer 
   timeout than is normally the case.  New functionality has been added 
   to configure these additional LanmanWorkstation\Parameter values.
   (This functionality has been backported to XP SP3 and is scheduled
   to be released on June 5th.)
   
 * The BackConnectionHostNames registry value configuration was broken 
   when dynamic re-establishment of Netbios Name registrations was added.
   Restore it.

 * Hidden vos commands are revealed.

 * If the "DisableLoopbackCheck" registry value is set, do not unset 
   it during the same service session.

 * Reorganize code that prevents multiple Store operations to the same 
   File.

 * Modify IsPathInAfs test in Explorer Shell Extension and fs.exe to 
   permit broken symlinks to be treated as being in AFS.

 * Fix vos commands that output 64-bit integer values.

 * Cygwin Import Libraries are provided in the SDK for all OpenAFS DLLs.
   Permits building cygwin applications against OpenAFS libraries. 

 * OpenAFS Release Notes, Administrator Guide and User Guide now installed 
   as Windows HTML Help (.CHM) files.  

 * NSIS installer does a much better job of cleaning up files left 
   over from previous installs.

 * Fix RT#124787, a race condition between "fs flush <dir>", "fs flushvolume", 
   or "fs flushall" and on-going directory operations that can result in 
   afsd_service.exe crashing.

 * Add support for DNS SRV records in place of AFSDB records.  
   _afs3-vlserver._udp.<cellname>.  Priority field is used.  
   Weight is currently ignored.

 * Add a method of specifying Client CellServDB information within the 
   registry that can be used to either override the CellServDB file or 
   force the use of DNS lookups for a given cell.

   The registry schema is as follows:

     HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\{Client,Server}\CellServDB\[cellname]\
       "LinkedCell" REG_SZ "[cellname]"
       "Description" REG_SZ "[comment]"
       "ForceDNS" DWORD {0,1}

     HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\{Client,Server}\CellServDB\[cellname]\[servername]\
       "HostName" REG_SZ "[hostname]"  Default: [servername]
       "IPv4Address" REG_SZ "[address]"  Used only if gethostbyname() fails.
       "IPv6Address" REG_SZ "[address]" <future>
       "Comment" REG_SZ "[comment]"
       "Rank" DWORD "0..65535"  Default: 0
       "Clone" DWORD "{0,1}" <future: server only>
       "vlserver" DWORD "7003" <future>
       "ptserver" DWORD ... <future>

   ForceDNS is implied non-zero if there are no [servername]
   keys under the [cellname] key. Otherwise, ForceDNS is zero.
   If [servername] keys are specified and none of them evaluate
   to a valid server configuration, the return code is success.
   This prevents failover to the CellServDB file or DNS.
   
   Only one of "HostName" or "IPv4Address" is required.  "HostName"
   is optional if [servername] is the host name.

 * Extend registry based CellServDB functionality to 
   afsconf_GetCellInfo() interface used by aklog and many 
   other command line utilities.

 * libafsconf.dll moved from OpenAFS\Client\Program to OpenAFS\Common
   as it is now used by both client and server components.

Since 1.5.58
 * PriorityClass of afsd_service.exe process raised to 
   "High" to match the priority of the system services 
   that are waiting for afsd_service.exe to respond.
   Configurable using [TransarcAFSDaemon\Parameters]
   DWORD "PriorityClass" value.  (use values from Win32
   API)

 * Change error reporting of CM_ERROR_BADSHARENAME to
   use the correct error (NTSTATUS_BAD_NETWORK_PATH).
   The error we were sending would cause the smb 
   redirector to drop the connection.

 * Change the error reporting of CM_ERROR_ALLOFFLINE
   and CM_ERROR_ALLDOWN to return NTSTATUS_PATH_NOT_FOUND.
   Previous we would return Bad Network Path which 
   would cause the smb redirector to cancel all file
   handles on the same "share".

 * A debug version of afsd_service.exe can now be used
   with a release version of afsrpc.dll (or vice versa).
   afsrpc.dll now implements and exports xdr_free().

 * Removed all unprotected OutputDebugString() calls as
   those calls can block for up to 10 seconds if there 
   is contention for the globally shared memory or if
   the debugger fails to read data in a timely manner.

 * Visual Studio 2008, WDK 6.1 and DDK 6.1 are now 
   supported for builds.  The production releases still
   use VS 2005.

Since 1.5.57
 * Discovered that XP/2003 supports a variant on recvmsg 
   called WSARecvMsg.  The input parameters are mostly 
   compatible with the Posix recvmsg.  This will save 
   multiple memcpy() calls per received packet.

 * Discovered that Vista/2008 supports a variant on 
   sendmsg called WSASendMsg.  The input parameters 
   are mostly compatible with the Posix sendmsg.  This 
   will save multiple memcpy() calls per sent packet.

 * Exporting rx_ReadProc32, rx_WriteProc32 from afsrpc.dll 
   and utilizing rx_ReadProc32 from within the cache manager 
   as part of the FetchData operations.  rx_ReadProc32 and 
   rx_WriteProc32 are optimized versions of rx_ReadProc and 
   rx_WriteProc for use when reading 32-bit integer values.

 * The Network Identity Manager AFS provider now reports 
   progress events.  These provide a better user experience 
   with Network Identity Manager 2.0.

 * [RT 124293] A race condition exists which permits the 
   scp field of the an smb_fid_t object to become invalid 
   after a request on the smb_fid_t has begun.  Remove the 
   race by protecting all access to the scp field with the 
   smb_fid_t mx mutex and obtaining a local reference on 
   the cm_scache_t object for the length of the request.

 * [RT 124276] If the vldb is out of sync with the contents 
   of the file servers, afsd_service will retry too many 
   times when a file server reports a volume as not being 
   present.  Now if the list reported by the vldb is the 
   same as the previously seen list, then the retry is 
   aborted.

 * [RT 124276] Read-only volume failover was broken in 
   1.5.53 whenever accessing a volume results in VNOVOL or 
   VMOVED.

 * [RT 124276] Prior to 1.3.70 the volume server reference 
   list was not reference counted and would be prematurely 
   freed while in use.  When reference counting was added 
   in 1.3.70 a bug was introduced that could result in 
   service reference list corruption.

 * Add Windows Application Event Log warning messages for 
   "Client SMB MPX value too large" and 
   "Client SMB Buffer Size too small".

 * Renaming of files across directory boundaries would result 
   in an invalid handle error when attempting to access the 
   files after the move.

 * Fix the handling of Tran2 Set Path Info RPCs.  Do not fail 
   when a smb file descriptor cannot be found.  The whole point 
   of using a Path Info function is because an smb file 
   descriptor wasn't allocated.

 * More edge cases in which dynamic addition of Freelance 
   root.afs entries would get the wrong FID or where the 
   root.afs directory would not be refreshed.

 * Buffer overflow could occur if the workstation cell name was 
   longer than 64 characters.  Crashes could occur in 
   afscreds.exe, afslogon.dll, and afsd_service.exe.

 * VNOSERVICE and VOFFLINE errors were leaking and were exposed 
   to the smb client.

 * Improve consistency of the bad data version value used for 
   cm_scache fields.

 * Log file server uuid values as part of the cm_server object 
   when available.  Dump the cm_server object list in response 
   to "fs memdump".

 * Optimize the performance of resetting access control lists 
   when tokens are set or removed.

 * Fix vos.exe so that it can work with very large volume 
   identifiers

 * Remove symlink recursion tests and increase max symlink count 
   to 64 from 16.

Since 1.5.56
 * Undo the "UAC manifest fix" applied to afs_config.exe.

 * Fixed some additional race conditions in the Rx library

 * Ensure that Freelance allocation of vnodes follow 
   the AFS convention of odd vnodes are directories 
   and everything else is an even vnode.

 * Add Freelance logic to mount point and symlink 
   evaluation functions.

 * Enhance smb_ParseASCIIBlock() so that it can handle
   all of the STRING formats defined by the CIFS Technical
   Report 1.0.  

 * Validate the output of smb_ParseASCIIBlock() in all
   callers.  Return CM_ERROR_BADSMB if the STRING field
   cannot be parsed.  CM_ERROR_BADSMB will cause the
   contents of the packet to be logged.

 * If multiple SMB Raw Write operations were taking 
   place at the same time, there could be data corruption
   because unique event objects were not generated for 
   each Netbios receive operation.

Since 1.5.55

 * Fix a race in rxi_WriteProc which could result
   in a freed or in use packet being passed to 
   rxi_PrepareSendPacket if the call is currently
   in a transmit wait state.  Passing a freed packet
   will result in a panic.  Passing an in use packet
   might result in a call failure or perhaps data
   corruption.

 * Kerberos referrals broke the NIM AFS provider 
   logic for automated configuration of the workstation
   cell with a new identity.  Now if a referrals 
   response is returned, assume the cell belongs to the
   new identify.

 * The interface to buf_CleanAsync() and 
   buf_CleanAsyncLocked() has been changed to permit 
   errors to be propagated to the caller.  

 * During an enumeration of a directory, if the btree
   has not yet been generated, return an error.

 * When mapping CM_ERROR values to NTSTATUS values
   do not treat 0 as an error.

 * Avoid a cm_scache_t object reference count underflow
   when renaming via the SMB interface.

 * smb_IsMask() can be called with a non-8.3 input buffer.
   Separate smb_IsMask() into smb_Is8Dot3Mask() for 8.3
   input buffers and smb_IsMask() for non-8.3 input buffers.

 * Add cm_buf_t error state to the "fs memdump" output.

 * pioctl drive mapping checks need to take into account
   Global Drive Mappings and SUBST assignments.

 * Rename operations should not be permitted if the 
   destination name collides with an existing name that
   differs only by case UNLESS the collision is the object
   that is being renamed.

 * Increase the maximum number of background daemon threads
   to 64.  Leave the default at 4.

 * Set the FILE_UNICODE_ON_DISK flag when reporting the 
   file system characteristics.

 * Report the maximum component name length as 255 even
   for Unicode as part of the file system characteristics.

 * Add RX debugging information to "fs memdump" output
   in checked builds.

 * Refcount the cm_server_t objects returned by
   cm_FindServerByIP()

 * Fix the UAC manifest applied to afs_config.exe

 * rxdebug now indicates if any RX_CONN flag is set
   not just some of them

 * Change the mapping of CM_ERROR_WOULDBLOCK from 
   NTSTATUS_LOCK_NOT_GRANTED to NTSTATUS_CANT_WAIT

Since 1.5.54

 * Includes #GCO Public CellServDB 07 Nov 2008

 * Prevent separate cell entries from being created for
   "foobar.org" and "foobar.org." which can happen if
   an AFSDB record is found instead of a CellServDB 
   record.

 * Fix a panic when checking the SMB virtual circuit list.  
   If a VC is destroyed while the list is being checked 
   it is possible for the next object to become invalid.

 * Increased logging to afsd_init.log of netbios name 
   related errors.

 * Fix a DNLC panic when a UTF-16 string that cannot be 
   converted to a utf-8 string is provided as a filename.

 * In the NSIS installer, delete old afslogon.dll/afscpcc.exe 
   from %windir%\system32 and fix the WinLogon\Notify\AfsLogon 
   location to refer directly to the new location in 
   %programfiles%\openafs\client\program

 * Be more aggressive about responding to Netbios 
   NRC_BRIDGE/NRC_NOWILD errors.  Rebind the Netbios name to 
   the LANA within the listener thread without performing a 
   delete and reset.

 * Use the WNet Enumeration of all connected drives as a filter 
   in the pioctl GetIoctlHandle operation.  This should remove 
   the last situations in which there was a delay when opening 
   an Explorer Shell properties menu with the AFS Shell 
   Extension.

 * Fix the parsing of CellServDB in Windows to handle linked 
   cells as is done on Unix.

 * Add support for linked cells to the cache manager,
   netidmgr afs provider, and aklog.  When two cells are
   linked, a volume lookup that fails in one cell is looked
   up in the other.  This can be used for construction of 
   test cells that override specific volumes; cell renaming;
   and cell splitting.

 * Increase the length of cell and realm names that can 
   be entered in the NIM AFS provider.

 * Actively prevent a 32-bit afsd_service.exe from 
   executing in the WOW64 environment.

 * Protect against invalid IP address values in CellServDB
   parsing.

Since 1.5.53

 * Fix an Rx panic caused by an attempt to double free
   an rx_packet when an error occurs while writing the
   packet.

 * Fix an exception cause by a race condition when 
   processing multiple file change notifications registered
   by the Explorer Shell or other applications.

 * Modify the Rx debug interface to use var_args and 
   permit Rx debugging to be used on 64-bit Windows 
   which previously had it disabled.

Since 1.5.52

 * Automated lock hierarchy enforcement added to the
   osi base lock package.  This permits detection of lock
   violations that might but often does not result in 
   deadlocks.  Enabled by default in the checked builds.
   May be activated in release builds via the registry
   value "LockOrderValidation" in the TransarcAFSDaemon
   Parameters key.

   When a violation is detection an assertion is thrown
   generating a dump file and a message indicating which
   locks were obtained out of order is logged to the 
   Windows Application Event Log.

 * Attempt to ensure that a dump file will be generated
   whenever the service panics.

 * Removed unused lock cm_bufGetMutex

 * Many out of order lock acquisitions were detected
   using the lock order verifier and were corrected.

 * A race condition within the function path cm_GetSCache() ->
   cm_GetNewSCache() -> cm_RecycleSCache() permitted a 
   cm_scache_t object to be issued simultaneously to two 
   threads.   This would eventually result in a panic due 
   to the resulting undercount.

 * Fix interpretation of the empty string as the ioctl path
   to mean the current directory.  "fs lsm", "symlink list", 
   etc. now return a "not a ..." error instead of "does not
   exist".

 * Add SMB_STRF_SRCNULTERM flag to smb_ParseStringXXX functions.
   to indicate that the input string is a nul terminated string.
   Assign ti when input strings are nul terminated instead of 
   length counted. (from 1.5.50)

 * The CIFS protocol specification for handling NT_TRANSACT_CREATE
   does not match the observed behavor.  The 'nameLength' is specified
   in bytes, not in characters.  Fix the implementation to match
   the observed behavior. (1.5.50)

 * The cm_HaveAccessRights() attempt at deadlock avoidance by 
   calling lock_TryRead() on the parent directory cm_scache_t rw-lock
   does not avoid the deadlock.  Avoid the deadlock by enforcing the
   lock order of the lowest vnode first.  Then remove the infinite 
   loop avoidance in cm_SyncOp() that was returning an unwarranted
   access denied error.

 * File Server lock synchronization was not propertly enforced in 
   smb_ReceiveNTCreateX() and smb_ReceiveNTTranCreate().

 * Another change to the short name generator.  Plus and equal are 
   not valid characters in a short name according to the 
   RtlIsNameLegalDOS8Dot3() in kernel mode.  They have been replaced
   with left and right brace in order to minimize the impact.

 * Fix a race condition that can result in a heap overwrite error if
   the number of known file servers or vldb servers increases during
   the preparation phase of a cm_CheckServers() operation.

 * If the SMB Authentication would fail, a LSA allocated memory 
   buffer would be leaked.

 * Rewrite the cm_cell_t allocation code to permit cell vldb server
   lookups to fail without leaking cm_cell_t objects.

 * Add "fs setcrypt auth" to permit the use of rxkad authentication
   only mode.  Not documented.

 * Initialize Rx mutex and lock objects once and only once as part of
   the DLL load process.

 * When reporting the Volume Name "AFS" do not include the terminating
   NUL in the reported length.  
 
 * Refresh Volume Location information upon receipt of a VNOVOL error
   from the file server and avoid a race condition that prevented the
   updated volume location information from being destroyed immediately
   after it was acquired.

 * In response to VNOVOL and VMOVED, remove the volume id from the server's
   volume list so that the volume's up and down status is not affected 
   when the machine is shutdown.

 * Many fixes to the Rx stack related to packet allocation and deallocation;
   Rx debugging; Rx packet tracking across queues; and Rx packet loss caused
   by overwriting the rx_call currentPacket pointer when it was already 
   referring to a packet.  

 * Rx Jumbograms are now off by default.  To re-enable, add "RxJumbo" = "1"
   in the TransarcAFSDeamon/Parameters key.

 * "fs flush", "fs flushvolume", and "fs flushall" now destroy locally 
   constructed directory B+ trees for flushed directory objects.

 * When cached pages for directory objects have been locally modified, do
   not permit the locally modified pages to be mixed with pages subsequently
   obtained from the file server.  Doing so can result in directory 
   corruption.

 * If Ubix errors are received in response to VL_xxx operations record
   the error on the server instance and permit the operation request to 
   be retried in case another server is able to answer the query.  We have
   seen at least one instance of a cell in which a VL server returned 
   UNOQUORUM (possible database truncation) when the other servers were
   responding successfully.

Since 1.5.51
 * Optimize the assignment of write errors to dirty 
   buffers by applying the first error to all buffers 
   belonging to the same object instead of trying each 
   buffer in turn.

 * Add resource version info to xstat_fs_test and xstat_cm_test
 
 * Fix a delete vs delete[] usage problem in the WiX custom 
   handler dll
 
 * When creating a mount point, validate the volume name to 
   make sure it exists.

 * When processing a mount point, pay attention to VL_BADNAME 
   errors.

 * Remove a race condition from cm_volume_t recycling that could 
   have resulted in two threads making use of the same object at 
   the same time.

 * Fix a reference count leak on smb_vc_t objects introduced in 
   1.5.50.  Permit the objects to be freed once again.

 * Fix the output of "fs memdump" for smb_vc_t objects that was 
   broken in 1.5.50.

 * Add routines for debugging smb refcount errors.

 * When shutting down the cache manager, do not permit AFS 
   callback requests to be processed. Doing so can result in 
   invalid memory accesses.

 * Do not recycle a deleted cm_scache_t object unless the 
   refCount is 0.  Doing so can result in a deadlock and 
   invalid memory access.

 * Minimize the number of RPCs sent to the file server for 
   directory bulk status requests. Only request status for 
   objects that we are actually reporting on and only if we 
   do not already have status for the object and then make 
   sure that we return as much as we can at once via the SMB 
   interface but not so much that it exceeds the RDR timeout

 * Enable bos restricted operations

 * Fix the creation of submounts used by the afscreds and afs_config 
   drive mapping tabs.
 
 * Avoid repeated retries when attempting to obtain access rights.  
   If the access rights were obtained successfully but do not 
   satisfy the request, fail the request.

 * Fix error code reported when attempting delete a file on a 
   readonly volume or one that is marked with the readonly DOS 
   attribute.

 * Fix a short name truncation bug.

 * Fix a heap corruption error when reading the CellServDB file 
   location.

 * Fix directory listings when the directory has "lookup" permission 
   only and the directory has never been previously accessed.

 * Fix several tracking issues for cm_scache_t rw locks.

 * Ensure that all buffers used to store cell names are the
   correct length.

 * Restore Windows 2000 support (broken in 1.5.50).   
   LOCALE_INVARIANT was introduced in XP.

 * Add RxUdpBufSize registry value.  Default is 256K.

 * Avoid multiple deadlocks between cm_freelanceLock and cm_scacheLock

 * Do not include trailing NULs when returning file names in 
   a directory search response.

 * Prevent RX from crashing the afsd_service by attempting
   to allocate to many buffers at once when memory is fragmented.

 * Avoid a deadlock when freeing cm_server_t objects

 * Optimize search cell file.  Do not search to end of file
   if the cell has already been found.

 * Remove explorer shell extension delay on local disks.

 * Automatically pre-allocate 64 Rx packets per thread

 * Add smb lock requests and stat cache lock allocations to
   the output from fs memdump.

Since 1.5.50
 * Fix Large File Support (broken in 1.5.50)

 * Fix "fs setacl" (broken in 1.5.50)

 * Fix pioctl path evaluation of drive letter
   mapped paths. (broken in 1.5.50)

 * Fix installation of VC8 Runtime library in the EXE
   Retail installer. (broken in 1.5.50)

 * Avoid a potential deadlock during Volume Location 
   updates if all the file servers are unreachable at 
   the time the VL update succeeds.

 * Ensure that rx connection object is references 
   during VL RPCs.

 * Fix propagation of over quota errors during cm_FSync()
   calls.

Since 1.5.39 [1.5.50 released 16 July 2008]
 * There were no releases between 1.5.39 and 1.5.50.

 * FIRST RELEASE WITH UNICODE SUPPORT

 * Pioctl interfaces to the cache manager refactored
   to provide layering between the SMB specific code
   and the general purpose ioctl operation.

 * Garbage collect dead SMB virtual circuits as soon
   as they are no longer being referenced.  This avoids
   problems with outstanding locks not being dropped
   when the virtual circuit becomes invalid.

 * Remove the IBM Administration Reference documentation
   and replace it with the OpenAFS Command Reference 
   Manual.  

 * Avoid calling rx_SetDeadTime and rx_SetHardDeadTime
   functions each time a connection is about to be used.
   Do not hold a lock on the rx connection object while
   it is being selected.  This avoids a race between 
   threads attempting to set the timeout values and 
   removes a bottleneck that was hampering performance.

 * Ensure that the smb directory attribute is set 
   for all directory objects.

 * Add vs2008 support to the NSIS installer scripts

 * Replace the VC Runtime EXE installer with the MSI
   installer in the NSIS installer scripts

 * Properly delete the VC7.1 C Runtime libraries.   

Since 1.5.36 [1.5.39 released 23 June 2008]
 * There were no 1.5.37 or 1.5.38 releases for Windows

 * Use Visual Studio version of vsprintf() instead of 
   home grown version that resulted in linking conflicts

 * Prevent buserver, ptserver and fileserver from crashing
   due to non-portable strftime() format strings.

 * Prevent server crashes caused by rx_InitMorePackets()
   being called prior to allocation of all of the required
   synchronization objects.

 * Fixed a memory leak in the internal B+ tree directory.
   For objects with non-8.3 names, the 'longname' memory
   allocation would be leaked during object deletion or
   tree destruction.

 * Fixed a memory leak in the background daemon cm_CheckServer() 
   routine.  The memory allocated to store the server list
   was not freed.  

 * Obtain a missing lock around a call to cm_RemoveSCacheFromHashTable(). 

 * Correct an abstraction layer violation. cm_scache_t objects 
   should be marked deleted in cm_Unlink() and cm_RemoveDir() and not 
   in smb_CloseFID(). Cleanup of deleted cm_scache_t objects should be 
   performed in cm_ReleaseSCache() when the reference count hits zero. 

 * Prototype cm_AdjustScacheLRU() and re-implement it using osi_QAddH().

 * Do not reference 'smb_logp' in cm_vnodeops.c.  Use 'afsd_logp'
   instead.

 * Ensure that scache object 'nextp' pointers are set to NULL
   when the objects are removed from the hash table linked list.

 * If a dirty buffer cannot be written to the file server because
   of an access denied error, mark the error in the cm_buf_t
   structure so that it can be dealt with instead of retrying 
   forever.

Since 1.5.35
 * Update CellServDB file to GCO Public 23 Apr 2008

 * Fix a cm_buf_t reference count leak when attempts to write 
   dirty buffers to the file server from within cm_IncrSyncer() 
   fail.

 * Prevent udebug from crashing.

 * Activate RX Idle Timeouts.  If the file server is busy for more 
   then 30 seconds, attempt to failover to another server without 
   marking the busy server down.

 * Another VNOVNODE issue fixed.  When writing a dirty buffer
   to the file server, if VNOVNODE is received, mark all buffers
   as invalid without further attempts to contact the file server.
   
 * Improved performance on high latency links.

Since 1.5.34
 * Fix a bug preventing the re-initialization of the Freelance 
   root.cell contents when a change is made.

 * Properly return CM_ERROR_NOSUCHFILE when removing a symlink 
   or mountpoint that does not exist.

 * aklog, afscreds, integrated logon, and the NIM AFS credential 
   provider will all attempt to first acquire an afs service ticket 
   using the service principal: afs/<cell>@<CLIENT_REALM>.  This 
   permits the proper detection of the cell realm when multiple 
   realms are local realms for the cell.

 * Fix fs commands that re-use file identifiers instead of forcing 
   a path evaluation each time.  This was broken in 1.5.33 when 
   hashes were added to the cm_fid_t structure.

 * Fix symlink and mountpoint removal and then recreation when 
   applied to the fake Freelance root.afs volume.

 * Fix SMB change notifications for the Freelance root.afs volume 
   when creating or removing symlinks and mount points.

 * Force DNS AFSDB cell name lookups to lower case if the DNS 
   response is not all lower case.

 * 32-bit installers are now built with Visual Studio 2005

 * All vos.exe commands now support the "-noresolve" option which 
   forces the display of IP addresses instead of DNS hostnames.

 * No longer hold the cm_volume_t mutex across VL_xxx RPCs.  This 
   permits operations that do not require up to date volume 
   location data to continue while waiting for the RPC to complete.  
   Multiple threads waiting for a volume location update on the 
   same volume set no longer trigger multiple calls VL_xxx RPCs.

 * Volume server references could be marked offline and never 
   reset to the not_busy state.  

 * Further optimizations to cm_Analyze() retry logic for 
   CM_ERROR_OFFLINE and CM_ERROR_ALLBUSY error handling.

Since 1.5.33
 * Optimize the DNLC by applying Interlocked incrementing for 
   statistics gathering and enabling greater use of read 
   locks instead of write locks

 * Further optimize osi_Log operations when logging is disabled 
   by removing the need for the function call overhead.

 * Add a new lock operation, Convert Read to Write, and apply 
   it throughout the cache manager.  This function provides a 
   fast transition from a read lock to a write lock when the 
   caller is the only reader.

 * Fix a timeout problem when opening files or request locks 
   when the file in question is already write-locked by another 
   machine.

 * Fix a deadlock that can occur if "fs flushall" is executed 
   while applications are writing to AFS.

 * The cache manager would re-read data from the file server 
   after file truncation when obtaining buffers to write to the
   same file until the first StoreData RPC completes.

 * Fixes error handling in cm_NTCheckDelete()

 * Replaces cm_scache_t mutex with a read-write lock permitting 
   additional parallel access.

 * Prevent an cm_scache_t reference undercount when evaluating 
   symlinks containing @sys when none of the active sysnames 
   match any of the available targets.

 * Prevent the leak of a cm_scache_t rwlock if associated symlink 
   is too long.

 * Set RxMaxMTU registry value to 0 which is the equivalent of 
   it not being set at all.

 * Reduce contention between BkgDaemon threads

 * Prevent CM_SCACHEFLAG_ASYNCSTORE from being reset on a write 
   failure

 * Convert reference counts on cm_volume_t, cm_conn_t, cm_server_t 
   objects to use the faster Interlocked operations which avoid 
   the need to hold write locks.

 * Permit rxkad errors other than RXKADEXPIRED to be treated as a 
   non-fatal error that forces a retry against another service 
   (if available.)

 * Fix a crash in smb_WriteData that would occur if an application 
   opened the file as read-only and then sent a write request anyway.  
   (RT 88731)

 * Respond to VL_NOENT errors by removing cm_volume_t object and
   setting it to be the first object to be recycled.  This is not 
   only a more efficient use of resources but it also prevents 
   repeated attempts to query the VLDB server for the volume from 
   the CheckOfflineVolumes routine.

 * Change the defaults for RxEnablePeerStats and RxEnableProcessStats 
   back to "on".

 * A first cut at a cache manager statistics monitor that can be used 
   to determine the necessary cache parameters to support the 
   application working set.

   Off by default, the performance package can be activated by setting 
   "daemonPerformanceTuningInterval" in the service Parameters key.  
   As with the other daemon interval values the unit is in seconds.

   At service start and each succeeding interval the cache manager 
   will write statistics to %TEMP%\afsd_performance.txt showing the 
   relative usage of cm_scache_t, cm_volume_t and cm_buf_t objects.  
   The FID statistics keep track of all FIDs seen by the cache manager 
   during the service session whether or not they are backed by any 
   live object in the cache.

   These statistics are not stored in the cache file.

 * Fix windows event logging broken in 1.5.33.

 * Eliminate multiple calls to syscfg_GetIFInfo() which is used to 
   populate the IP address list for WhoAreYou/TellMeAboutYourself RPCs
   as well as when computing the server preference list.

 * When merging status after a StoreData operation prevent data 
   buffers from being discarded that we would prefer to keep.  
   (Bug introduced in 1.5.33.)

 * Modify installers the set RxMaxMTU to 0.

 * In the AFS Configuration Panel on the Advanced->Miscellaneous 
   dialog, the Background Daemons and Service Threads fields were 
   swapped.

 * Increase default number of Background Daemons to 4.

 * Remove cm_volume_t reference from the cm_scache_t object.  Permit 
   cm_volume_t objects to be recycled.

 * Windows Error Reporting has shown a number of previously unseen 
   stack corruption errors in the Explorer Shell extension.  The 
   minidump appeared to indicate the problem was in ParseAcl().  
   Reviewing the function it appears that numerous things could go 
   wrong if invalid input was provided.  Added error checking and 
   data validation.  Hopefully this will address the problem.

 * Windows Error Reporting has shown crashes in aklog as a result
   of krb5_cc_get_default() failures not being handled.  They are
   now handled.

Since 1.5.32
 * The Rx library used a 32-bit type for sockets which was
   truncating the socket value on 64-bit Windows.  This 
   was not an issue in general but became an issue when 
   Rx "hot thread" support was enabled.

 * Enable "Rx hot thread" support which ensures that while
   a received message is being processed that a new thread
   is allocated to receive the next message to arrive.

 * Increased parallel access to smb_rctLock protected 
   resources.  Reduce the number of times that the 
   lock is dropped and re-obtained.

 * Increased parallel access to cm_scache_t and cm_buf_t
   resources by replacing the previous global write lock
   protected reference counting mechanism with one built
   upon the use of InterlockedIncrement and InterlockedDecrement.

 * Implement a hash for cm_fid_t to reduce comparison costs
   and inline the cm_FidCmp() function.

 * Redefine the BUF_HASH and BUF_FILEHASH in terms of the cm_fid_t 
   hash which has a better distribution

 * Modify cm_ConsiderPrefetch to evaluate the amount of data in 
   the most recent read request instead of the next chunkSize.  
   cm_chunkSize can be dozens or hundreds of buffers.  As a result
   too much time is spent performing the evaluation.

 * Fix the usage of cm_scache_t bufCreateLock.  The purpose of this 
   lock is to prevent the creation of new buffers while a truncation 
   is being performed.  All references to bufCreateLock have been 
   removed except in two places:
   i.  a write-lock surrounding the function that calls buf_Truncate()
   ii. a read-lock within buf_GetNewLocked() that actually allocates 
       new buffers

 * Modify the CM_CONFIG_DATA_MAGIC value to include a 
   CM_CONFIG_DATA_VERSION number which value be used to force the 
   replacement of the cache file contents when incompatible changes 
   are made between releases.

 * CM_SCACHESYNC_ASYNCSTORE should not be ordered by 
   cm_SyncOpCheckContinue

 * Avoid calls to multi_Rx if nconns == 0

 * Modify smb_WriteData to perform background writes based upon the 
   crossing of 'smb_AsyncStoreSize' boundaries instead of cm_chunkSize 
   boundaries.  This will slow down writes from the SMB interface but 
   will avoid the risk of the CIFS client disconnecting from the AFS 
   client SMB server.  The default value for 'smb_AsyncStoreSize'
   is 128K.  

 * SMB AsyncStore functionality is on by default but can be 
   disabled using the registry value:

     HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client DWORD "EnableSMBAsyncStore"

   smb_AsyncStoreSize can be adjusted with 

     HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client DWORD "SMBAsyncStoreSize"

   The value must be a multiple of the buffer block size 
   and cannot be larger than the chunk size.

 * Do not leak a read lock on the bufCreateLock

 * Do not forget to call cm_SyncOpDone if cm_SyncOp succeeded
   in cm_CheckNTOpen()

 * In MergeStatus, only remove clean buffers from the hash table.

 * Avoid the need to update the data version number on each buffer 
   associated with a scache when MergeStatus is called after a 
   StoreData by maintaining a range of valid data versions as part 
   of the cm_scache_t object.

 * Profiling shows large numbers of blocked calls in cm_HoldSCache
   from cm_HaveAccess...   We can safely avoid the call so do so.

 * Add "ForceAnonVLDB" service parameters registry value.  Default
   is 0.  Set to 1 to force the use of anonymous connections to
   the VLDB servers.  This is useful when using krb5 tokens and the
   VLDB servers have not been updated.

Since 1.5.31
 * Do not attempt to search for a cell name that matches one
   of the special share names "svrsvc", "wkssvc", "ipc$"

 * Issue permission denied warnings from afscreds if attempts
   to modify the startup shortcut or registry values fail.
   This happens under Vista UAC.

 * Do not return BAD_NETWORK_ERROR in response to attempts
   to create directories or files in the Freelance root.afs 
   volume.  Instead return ACCESS_DENIED.

   BAD_NETWORK_ERROR was being sent because the Freelance cell 
   has no vldb servers.  Short circuit the error by testing for 
   freelance in CreateFile and MakeDir

 * Treat srvsvc, wkssvc and ipc$ as pseudo files.  Permit them 
   to be opened and closed without actually existing.  For now 
   we treat them as equivalent to ioctls but this should 
   eventually change.

 * Fix RAP processing to not reject names that exist in the 
   root.afs volume for GetInfo queries.

 * In afscreds, use GetUserNameEx to obtain the username instead 
   of searching the registry.  Try UserPrincipalName first and 
   fallback to SamCompatible.

 * Stop linking to rpcns4.dll which is no longer supported on 
   Vista and 2008.  TaAfsAdmSvr is going to have to be 
   redesigned.

 * When processing dfs referral requests, if the sharename is 
   a partial match and therefore will not be added automatically 
   to the share list, make sure that we return an error.

 * Avoid a crash when logging VNOVOL errors returned from 
   cm_CheckOfflineVolume.

 * When trace logging is disabled, do not permit osi_LogSaveString 
   to perform the string copying.  By disabling the string 
   copies, throughput of the service more than doubles.

 * when checking offline volumes, update the cell vlserver info
   if required and don't perform a check if there are no servers
   in the list.

 * Add volumes in the vl_unknown state to the list of objects to be
   checked as offline or retried when an allbusy error is received
   in cm_Analyze.

 * Add support for configuring rx_ExtraPackets

 * All calls to buf_Get() must be protected by a read lock on the
   cm_scache_t bufCreateLock

 * When a MergeStatus results in the invalidation of buffers, do
   not remove buffers from the hash tables that have active references.

 * Upon receiving a VNOVNODE error from a file server, be sure to
   invalidate any file locks.  This prevents on-going attempts to
   extend the locks and will cause subsequent attempts to access
   the file to receive a invalid handle error.

 * Prevent smb_ReceiveTran2SearchDir from adding terminating NULs
   to directory entry names.

 * No longer discard tokens when RXKADBADTICKET error is received.
   Instead return STATUS_NO_KERB_KEY error.

Since 1.5.30
 * Add "cmdebug <host> -cellservdb" option and client service 
   implementation permits querying the vldb server for each 
   cell known to the cache manager.  The output is in a form
   that permits it to be used as a CellServDB file.

 * Add Symlinks->Show option to the AFS Explorer Shell Context
   Menu

 * Prevent buffer overrun in the cmd parser used by command
   line tools such as fs, vos, pts, etc.

 * The path ioctl operations have several issues:

   (1) the specified path for "fs examine, whereis, whichcell, 
       flush" and so always has the follow symlinks and mount 
       points semantics.  This makes it impossible to determine 
       what the FID of a symlink or mount point is.

   (2) "fs examine" out is not the result of a single pioctl 
        operation but is actually the combined output of half 
        a dozen operations.  Path evaluation is an expensive 
        operation.  It would be faster if the caller could
        evaluate the FID first and then perform all of the 
        rest of the operations by specifying the FID instead 
        of the path.

   (3) fs output reports all objects as files.  By adding a 
       GetFileType pioctl more informative output can be provided 
       that indicates what type of object the path evaluates to.

   (4) the Windows fs command includes a number of commands that 
       do nothing but exist only because the Unix cache manager 
       supports them.

   A new extendible data structure cm_ioctl_query_opts_t has been 
   added which can be optionally specified with pioctls that do not
   already require input data.  The first two fields of this structure 
   are 'literal' and 'fid'.  The literal field is used to indicate
   whether the last component of the path should be evaluated following 
   symlinks and mount points.

   The fid field permits a fid to be specified.

 * A new GetFileType pioctl has been added. The type of objects are 
   now output.

 * A new "-literal" option is available for "fs examine, flush, whereis, 
   and whichcell.

 * Unimplemented fs commands have been removed.
   
 * There are circumstances where a volume object is being accessed and 
   the volume is marked indicating that the volume location information 
   is out of date but where it is also pointless and perhaps dangerous 
   to block waiting for the rpc to complete.  One example is when 
   processing the cmdebug requests.  If we know that we are not going 
   to use the volume object to contact a server, then we can now set 
   the CM_GETVOL_FLAG_NO_RESET flag.

 * when moving up in the directory tree we search the recorded fid list 
   to find a matching fid that we have already crossed.  we must also 
   reset the fid count based upon what we discover.

 * Cell names are published as share names.  As a result they are searched
   for as part of the Dfs Referral evaluation.  If share "foo" can not be
   reached, the CIFS client will fallback to searching for "fo" as well.

   Since the freelance client automatically adds a symlink for prefixes
   of the cell name, this results in both "foo" and "fo" being added to
   the freelance root.afs volume.  This patch prevents that negative side
   effect.

 * when tracking Kerberos credential cache names be sure to include 
   the cache type prefix.

 * Microsoft has assigned OpenAFS a network type value

 * The algorithms that were used to produce a Netbios name were broken.
   The name that was produced when the hostname was too long was in fact
   longer than the maximum permitted netbios name.

   Also, the "NetbiosName" value was not used as a suffix when the loopback
   adapter was not installed.  The hardcoded string "AFS" was used instead.

 * avoid another deadlock during server probes initiated by the ipaddr 
   change daemon thread.

 * prevent the afs client service from crashing when fs newcell is 
   executed

 * In the NSIS installer, move afslogon.dll, afscpcc.exe and afs_cpa.cpl 
   to \Program Files\OpenAFS\Client\Program in order to get them out
   of the %windir% tree

 * EDQUOT == WSAEDQUOT.   Define it in the right places so that in the 
   end STATUS_OUT_OF_QUOTA can be returned to the application.

 * Modify the search order for determining the location of CellServDB
   and other client configuration files.

   1. AFSCONF environment variable
   2. registry setting
   3. NEW - use All Users\AppData\OpenAFS\Client only if CellServDB exists
   4. use Program Files\OpenAFS\Client

 * More Vista Power Management tweaks

 * Close a socket handle leak in the kauth routines

 * Don't hold a cm_volume_t mutex across RPCs

 * Convert downTimes to use clock time instead of relative times.
   This permits correct comparisons with expiration times.

 * Update the Wix installer to properly install the prerequisites 
   for translate_et.exe

 * Do not translate pioctl paths as they are not converted by the
   file system stack.

 * Implement multi_rx probes for checking whether servers are up
   or down.  Turns probes into a constant time activity instead 
   of one dependent upon the number of known servers.

 * Treat VNOVOL errors the same as VOFFLINE.  Do not force an
   update of the volume location data and retry.  VNOVOL means
   that the volume could not be attached.  It doesn't mean that
   the volume is not on this server.

 * Modify the Explorer Shell AFS Context menu Symlink->Add to
   not attempt to validate the target path.   There is no reliable
   method of doing so.

 * Improve performance of \\afs\<cell><mount-type><volume>\
   access by eliminating extraneous attempts to search the 
   CellServDB file and DNS AFSDB records.  Share names 
   containing '%' or '#' are not valid cell names.

 * Return STATUS_RANGE_NOT_LOCKED if the application attempts
   to unlock a range that is not currently locked.

 * Enable the 32-bit tools to read the 64-bit registry keys
   when executing in the WOW64 environment.
   

Since 1.5.29
 * Fix buffer refcount leak introduced in 1.5.29

 * Prevent the NIM AFS Provider from crashing when configured to use 
   Kerberos v4 for token acquisition in situations where no Kerberos v4
   support is available.  For example, 64-bit KFW or sites that delete
   the Kerberos v4 DLL.

 * In afsd_init.log, support logging cache sizes greater than 2GB.

 * The volume status output of "fs examine" was being determined based
   upon the wrong error value.  Instead of using the pioctl() return
   code, the errno value must be used.  

 * Prevent invalid pts auto-registration attempts by aklog and the 
   NIM afs provider when Kerberos referrals are in use.  (krb5 1.6+)

 * Add synchronization protection to all of the SMB Listener State 
   variables.  This prevents race conditions when the addition or
   loss of a network adapter takes place.

 * On Vista, there is a race condition between the restart of the 
   afs client service and the network adapters.  Ensure that the 
   afs client service can handle switching between loopback and 
   non-loopback modes of operation.

 * Fix FollowBackupPath to work with mount points that are not 
   explicitly read/write.

 * Fix a deadlock that has been observed on Vista while resuming
   after at least four hours of sleep.

 * Add new HKLM registry configuration options that can be used 
   to provide configuration hints to the NIM AFS Provider when 
   creating new identities.  See release notes for details on
   HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Realms\.

Since 1.5.28
 * Speed up write buffer operations by holding a global read-lock
   instead of a write-lock when updating the buffer data version 
   number.  The data version is protect by the associated stat
   cache mutex.

 * Speed up read buffer operations by removing out of date buffers
   from the buffer hash tables.

 * Protect against a null pointer dereference in afslogon.dll
   if QueryAdHomePathFromSid() fails.
   
 * Remove a race condition while accessing private freelance data
   structures.

 * Update the buffer data versions when Freelance directory data
   changes.

 * Complete the implementation of smb_ReceiveTran2GetDFSReferral().
   Critical for Vista.  

 * Return EAS_NOT_SUPPORTED in response to EA read/store/query 
   instead of returning zero length.

 * Return ERROR_RETRY when a server sends VBUSY.

 * Return PATH_NOT_COVERED instead of BADSHARENAME for DfsLinks when
   a volstat plug-in is in use.

 * Enhance the volstat interface to support Dfs path mappings.

 * Fix "symlink list" to do the right thing for Dfs links

 * Fix callback expiration that was broken in 1.5.27.

 * Fix a crash at shutdown caused by the lack of synchronization
   within the daemon threads (cm_Daemon, cm_BkgDaemon, cm_IPAddrDaemon)

 * Hold the cm_server_t mutex while walking or modifying the 
   cm_server_vols_t list in order to avoid a race condition.

 * Ensure that the cm_server_t refCount is safely modified.

 * The pthread library implementations of pthread_cond_wait
   and pthread_cond_timedwait were failing to return with 
   the mutex held when error conditions occurred.  This could
   result in race conditions wherever they are used.  One case
   in which problems were seen was the Rx event_handler().

 * Prevent cm_GetBuffer() from locking all buffers associated with 
   a stat cache object before deciding if the current buffer is up 
   to date.

 * Fix cm_BkgPrefetch to actually ensure that there is a cm_buf_t 
   object for each offset that we will attempt to reserve.

 * Reduce the default number of background daemon threads used to 
   prefetch or store to one in order to prevent two or more threads 
   from stepping on each other.

 * Reduce the default chunk size to 256KB in order to prevent read 
   timeouts on low bandwidth connections.

 * Fix a race condition that could result in threads becoming stranded 
   when synchronizing multiple requests on the same stat cache object.

Since 1.5.27
 * The GiveUpAllCallBacks functionality that was added in 1.5.21
   has been disabled.  It has been disabled because it turns out
   that the RPC is improperly implemented in all file servers 
   previous to 1.4.6.  The RPC is executed without the proper 
   locks being held resulting in data corruption and eventual file
   server failure.  The functionality will be re-enabled in a 
   a few months.

 * a couple of .readonly Volume Callback optimizations were 
   implemented:
   -  Apply most recent volume callback to all stat cache objects 
      in the volume.  This avoids premature callback expirations 
      and unnecessary FetchStatus calls.
   - Add option to permit attempts to renew .readonly Volume 
     Callbacks on a periodic basis to avoid invalidation of stat 
     cache data.  [Requires daemonCheckVolCBInterval be set to 
     non-zero number of seconds.  1800 (30 minutes) is suggested.]

 * Adds support for 64-bit data version values.  Previous releases 
   only supported 32-bit values.  Larger values sent by the file server 
   would result in rollover.

 * aklog and asetkey no longer generate an exception if Kerberos for 
   Windows is not installed.

 * If the LSA authentication functions report a temporary out of memory 
   condition, fail the current authentication and do not cause the AFS 
   client service to terminate unexpectedly.

 * When the AFS client service is shutting down, prevent the daemon check 
   thread from executing additional checks which might attempt to access 
   discarded locks or unmapped memory.

 * Correct a double free condition in the NIM AFS credentials provider.

 * Add "FollowBackupPath" service parameter registry value.   
   This provides equivalent functionality to the UNIX afsd -backuptree
   option.  When set to a non-zero value, normal mount points originating
   in a .backup volume will prefer a .backup volume.

Since 1.5.26
 * Fix NSIS uninstall from the .MSI installer.

 * Add Stack Frame logging for AMD64

 * Add support for EWOULDBLOCK to cm_Analyze.  If the file 
   server returns EWOULDBLOCK, retry the request every two 
   seconds for up to the RDRtimeout.

 * Reorganize the order of the includes to ensure that EWOULDBLOCK 
   is not assigned the same value as EIO.

 * Update CellServDB to GCO Public 25 Oct 2007

 * Add additional validation and error handling code after 
   each call to getSlot().  If an invalid slot is returned, 
   return NONODE.  If the invalid slot is returned when 
   extracting a data node, invalidate the tree.

 * Modify compareKeys() to always perform a case-insensitive 
   comparison and only perform a case sensistive comparison 
   if the case-insensitive one matches.  This ensures the 
   ordering is consistently reported.

 * Add lock assertions to ensure that all calls are being 
   performed with the correct locks being held.  There have been 
   some crash reports that provide stack data that does not appear 
   to be possible unless there is a race.  However, there are no 
   obvious locations where the race is taking place and the test 
   suite indicates that all of the correct locks are being held. 
   We shall see what happens in the field.

 * For consistency replace all calls to findKey in which the range i
   s (1,numentries) with calls to getSlot().

 * Optimize the depth search loop by testing the slot value in the 
   for statement instead of forcing the loop to be broken later.

 * Reorganize the locking for cm_BeginDirOp and cm_EndDirOp.
   There are a number of locations where locks are obtained, dropped, 
   and reobtained.  This reorganization attempts to accomplish several 
   things:

   (1) be optimistic for the most common case so it will be fast

   (2) add consistency checks after each location where locks are 
       dropped and re-obtained.  If we lose a race in cm_BeginDirOp 
       and the bplus tree is out of date, retry until we get to a 
       consistent state that we can use.

   (3) Ensure that all operations take place with the correct locks.

 * One of the issues that has become a serious problem since the 
   addition of the local directory updates is that although cm_SyncOp 
   synchronizes operations, it does not preserve the order of requests. 
   This has always been a problem in that it has been possible for a 
   request to fail to complete due to its worker thread's bad luck. 
   When a request takes longer than the Windows SMB Redirector's timeout, 
   the SMB Redirector tears down the SMB virtual circuit. 

   When using the local directory updates it is really important that 
   the directory update operations complete in the order that they were 
   sent to the file server. If they don't, then the local directory state 
   and the file server state will not match and the local directory state 
   must be discarded which in turn forces a new read of the entire 
   directory contents over the network. 

   This patch adds a new cm_scache_waiter_t object that is used to store 
   the current thread, buffer, and syncop flags within a waiters queue 
   on each cm_scache_t object. If a thread is forced to sleep in 
   cm_SyncOp, upon waking it will check to see if there are any other 
   threads waiting that are attempting to perform a similar task ahead 
   of it in the queue. If yes, the thread goes back to sleep. If not, 
   it goes ahead and enters the cm_SyncOp conflict resolution block. 

   This patch has the additional side effect of reducing the number of 
   competing threads that must obtain the cm_scache_t mutex and process 
   the cm_SyncOp conflict resolution block. As a result, the overall CPU 
   utilization of the service and the clock time associated with processing 
   requests will be reduced.

 * assert that the cm_scache_t mutex is held when calling
   buf_ForceDataVersion().

 * rename findNode to leafNode in bplus_Lookup

 * replace all OutputDebugString calls with osi_LogX calls

 * modify bestMatch to special case the return values for leaf nodes.
   If an entry is above or below the values available in the leaf node
   return BTLOWER or BTUPPER instead of BTERROR.

 * In insert and delete operations check for BTLOWER/BTUPPER and isleaf,
   if true convert to either slot 0 or Max and perform the insertion.
   This produces easier to read code when performing lookups.
 
 * modify lock_AssertXXX macros to call osi_assertx() and provide a
   descriptive message.

 * the difference between osi_assert() and osi_assertx() is whether or not
   a description is specified as part of the call.  When no message is
   specified afsd_notifier() is called with a NULL msgp parameter.  This
   results in a null pointer dereference during the EventLog() call.

   As a result, none of the information describing the assertion is written
   to the log file.

   This commit sets a default message for use when no other message is
   provided and it replaces all calls to osi_assert with osi_assertx and
   adds descriptions.
   
 * Migrate B+ tree search key into thread local storage

Since 1.5.25
 * Fix an uninitialized variable in lana_IsLoopback() which 
   could result in a random determination that a loopback 
   adapter is not a loopback adapter.  This would result in 
   a computed Netbios service name of %MACHINE%-AFS instead
   of AFS.  This is a serious problem if the value computed
   by the AFS Client Service and the client process pioctl
   calls produce different results as it will result in a  
   communication failure.

 * Fix a crash in the B+ Tree code that results when a file
   rename only results in a change of case.

 * Fix the pioctl path parsing.  The previous algorithm 
   broke the current directory of the client into two parts,
   the TIDpath which represented the device root and the
   relative path.  The problem is that this is not sufficient
   from proper processing of symlinks and mount points.  

   What is required is that the last component of the path
   must not have the symlink or mount point be evaluated
   whereas symlink and mount point evaluation must be performed
   for the rest of the relative path.  Therefore, the path is
   now split into three parts: TIDpath, intermediate path,
   and last component.  

   "fs examine" now reports the data of the symlink or mount
   point object instead of the target and "symlink list" and
   "symlink remove" now works.  The "Explorer Shell Extension"
   menu now is displayed for symlink objects.

 * More informative symlink.exe error messages.

 * When the cmd.exe "del" command is used to remove a symlink,
   not only was the link object removed, but the stat cache
   object for the target was marked deleted.  This resulted
   in cache corruption which would require the destruction
   of the cache to correct.

 * Add undocumented registry value, "OfflineReadOnlyIsValid"
   which results in cached contents from read only volumes
   to be treated as valid when there is no callback registered
   and all servers are down or all instances are offline.

   HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAFSDaemon\Parameters

 * Add documented registry value, "AcceptDottedPrincipalNames"
   which is used to permit the acquisition of AFS tokens 
   using Kerberos v5 principal names which include a dot in
   the first component.

   {HKLM\HKCU}\Software\OpenAFS\Client

 * "fs uuid" does not require "AFS Client Administrator" group
   membership to display the current UUID value.

Since 1.5.24
 * Update NSIS installer to version 2.30

 * Update Wix installer to version 2.0.5325
 
 * 64-bit KFW support:
   - Network Identity Manager plug-in
   - 64-bit aklog
   - 64-bit krb5 enable afscreds.exe, afs server manager,
     etc.

 * Enable B+ tree Directory Search by default.

 * NIM plug-in is now compatible with FILE: ccaches

 * Install instloop.exe into Client/Programs/ even though
   it isn't required.   Permit it to be used by organizations
   that clone Windows systems.

 * On a suspend, only drop callbacks for servers that 
   are online.  If the server is offline, maintain the callback
   until the server is once again available.

 * Prevent against acquisition of a directory write lock when
   there are no updates to be performed.  This was resulting 
   in a write-lock leak which later on would lead to a deadlock.

 * Add configurable file pre-fetch mode.  For files that match
   the specified file extensions, pre-fetch the entire file into
   the cache.

   HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAfsDaemon\Parameters
      (MULTI_SZ) PrefetchExecutableExtensions

 * Fix the client_osi large integer support so that return values
   can be properly assigned to large integer variables.
 
 * Do not hold cm_scache_t mutex across cm_GetCell() calls 
   since cm_GetCell() can block in a RPC.

 * Add short file name support to B+ tree searches.

 * Resolve a conflict between the desire to notify file servers
   that the client workstation is suspending and the desire to
   permit objects with valid callbacks when the client suspends
   to continue to use those objects from the cache if the client
   resumes without network connectivity.

 * Fix stack variables to ensure that all buffers storing paths
   can handle AFSPATHMAX (1024) characters.  Paths of 256 characters
   would cause a stack overflow condition.

 * On Vista, force afs_config.exe to run with the highest privileges
   available to the end user.  For a user in the Administrators
   group running under UAC, this will cause afs_config.exe to be 
   be run with full Administrators privileges after the user 
   approves the privilege escalation.

 * More VNOVNODE handling issues.  If a dirty buffer cannot be 
   written due to VNOVNODE, clear the buffer and ignore the error.
   If a cm_scache_t object has been marked deleted due to a VNOVNODE
   error, the next time the smb_fid_t object that references it is 
   used return either NOSUCHFILE or NOSUCHPATH and close the
   smb_fid_t object.  Subsequent attempts to use the smb_fid_t will
   result in an invalid handle error.

 * For Vista, set the RequestExecutionLevel of the NSIS installer
   to "admin".

 * For the build environment, support the generation of manifests
   when using the CL1310 (VS .NET 2003) compiler/linker.

 * There was a bug in OutputDebugHexString() which could overflow
   a stack buffer resulting in unexpected process termination
   of afsd_service.exe if the input Security Token contained
   many bytes equivalent to the '%' char.

 * Add directory lookup statistics to "fs memdump" output.
 

Since 1.5.23
 * Windows uses case-insensitive file name pattern matching
   but AFS is a case sensitive file system.  The AFS3 directory
   format is block based, uses network byte order and 
   includes a hash table for fast case sensitive lookups.  
   This causes several problems for the Windows AFS client.
   (1) Traversing the directory blocks is cpu expensive
   (2) A hash table miss does not indicate that the desired
       entry does not exist.
   (3) Determining whether a non-ambiguous inexact match or
       the entry does not exist requires a linear traversal
       of the entire directory.  
   These issues often result in 100% CPU utilization.

   These issues are addressed by building a modified B+ tree for 
   each directory and then using the B+ tree for searches.

   This feature is disabled by default.  To enable it set
   the "BPlusTrees" registry value to 0x01 in the AFS Client
   Service Parameters key.

 * Correct a null pointer dereference in the symlink recursion
   detection code.  (Introduced in 1.5.22)

 * Add the Network Identity Manager AFS Provider to AMD64 
   builds.

Since 1.5.22

 * A new registry value, "BlockSize", can now be used to adjust 
   the size of the internal buffers used to store file data.  
   The default is 4KB.  When set, the values 1..1024 specify
   multiples of 4KB. Values > 1024 specify actual block sizes
   and must be multiples of 4KB.  The actual block size in KB 
   can not be larger than the chunk size which defaults to 1MB.

    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAfsDaemon\Parameters
      (DWORD) BlockSize

 * pts.exe and ptserver.exe built with -DSUPERGROUPS

 * Service Manager shutdown hints have been added.  The hint 
   specifies that it may take the AFS client service up to two
   minutes to shutdown. 

 * Fix the recursion detection feature introduced in 1.5.22.
   The previous implementation broke the evaluation of paths
   using ../path or ./path.   It also broke the evaluation of
   symlinks to absolute paths.  For example, /afs/cell/path.

 * Fix an uninitialized variable in cm_MakeDir that could result
   in crash if the requested directory could not be created.

 * Fix a the VolumeStatusNotification log messages to save
   the input string in the circular log buffer so garbarge 
   won't be output to afsd.log when the log is dumped.
   

 * Increase the SMB Maximum Path length to 260 characters
   from 256 as that is what CIFS supports.

 * On 64-bit Windows, use a unique description string for 
   the 32-bit AFS Shell Extension.

Since 1.5.21

 * In the AFS Admin Library, replaced all of the 
   Ubik_Call(XXX_RPC,...) calls with Ubik_XXX_RPC(...).  This 
   allows parameter checking and proper type conversions to be
   performed.  This is crucial when passing parameters that are
   64-bit wide on systems in which 'long' is a 32-bit value.
   Otherwise, the parameter list on the stack is interpretted
   incorrectly and the function not only doesn't succeed but it
   might corrupt memory and if lucky crash the application.
  
   The only program that we care about that uses this library 
   is the AFS Server Manager.  Now it doesn't crash.

 * Fixed smb directory searches for non-wildcard names.  The 
   optimized function should not have set the bulk in progress
   flag.  This would adversely affect later directory searches
   that required a bulk search.

 * Detect infinite recursions (up to 512 stat cache objects
   in a chain.)  If an infinite recursion is detected, return
   an error to stop the CIFS client from querying us forever.

 * Executables executed out of AFS name space can have their
   pages swapped out by Windows.  Those pages will be reloaded
   when they are required.  However, if the cache manager no
   longer has a callback and all of the file servers with 
   the volume data are down, then the application will crash
   due to the inability to read the required page.  

   We now track the down time of each server.  If the callback
   expires after the server that issued it went down and all
   servers are down, we delay the expiration to permit the data
   in the cache to be continue to be used by Windows or an 
   application.

 * The Windows AFS client has always had very poor performance
   with regards to directory management.   In the case of 
   directory updates caused by create, rename,and delete operations,
   the AFS cache manager will now perform local directory updates
   when possible in order to avoid re-reading the directory from
   the file server.  This will be done in whenever both of the 
   following conditions are true:

   - the data version on the directory increased by one as a 
     result of the operation

   - all of the directory buffers necessary to make the change
     are present in the cache

 * The error message in the AFS Control Panel describing the 
   need to be a Windows Administrator has been replaced with
   a message describing the need to be in the AFS Admins Group.

 * If the vldb server list is empty when attempting to evaluate
   a cell mountpoint it was possible for a crash to occur.  This
   can only happen if there is an existing mount point and the
   is a failure attempting to load the server list from the 
   CellServDB file or via AFSDB queries.

 * dirty buffers only have their dirty bytes stored to the file
   server instead of the entire chunksize

 * the default chunksize has been increased from 128KB to 1MB
   

Since 1.5.20

 * changed the enum values for cm_serverRef_t state info to use a 
   private name space to avoid collisions (srv_)
 
 * added a srv_deleted state for cm_serverRef_t objects.  This 
   state is set when cm_FreeServerList() is called with the 
   CM_FREESERVERLIST_DELETE flag set.  cm_FreeServerList() may
   not always delete the cm_serverRef_t from the list if it is
   still in use by another thread.  the srv_deleted state means
   the object's contents are no longer valid and it must be 
   skipped.  It will be deleted the next time the object is 
   freed and the refcount hits zero.
 
 * the srv_deleted state is also used when a file server reports
   either VNOVOL or VMOVED instead of marking the cm_serverRef_t
   as offline.  This is done to prevent additional usage of the 
   stale vldb data while waiting for the update volume request
   to complete.
 
 * added a state field to the cm_volume_t object (enum volstate 
   vl_ name space) that maintains the state of the volume based
   upon the states of all of the cm_serverRef_t and cm_server_t
   objects.
 
 * modified cm_UpdateVolume() to set the state of the cm_volume_t
   RW, RO, and BK to either vl_alldown or vl_online.  There can't
   be any other states because cm_UpdateVolume() destroys any  
   previous knowledge we might have had regarding busy or offline
   volume status
 
 * modified cm_UpdateVolume() to update the volume name in the 
   cm_volume_t to the volume base name if the previous value was 
   a volume ID.
 
 * modified cm_FollowMountPoint() to check to see if the volume
   name is a volume ID and if so call cm_GetVolumeByID instead 
   of cm_GetVolumeByName.  This ensures that volume IDs are always
   looked up as numeric values.  There is no longer a need to 
   maintain a separate cm_volume_t containing the string representation
   of the ID value.
 
 * Added a flags parameter to cm_GetVolumeByName() and cm_GetVolumeByID().
   The first flag is a "CREATE" flag which is set by all existing
   calls.  The flag is not set by calls to cm_GetVolumeByID() from
   the server probe code when volume status is being updated.  We 
   do not want the server probe operation to result in additional 
   turnover in the cached volume data.  The second flag is NO_LRU_UPDATE 
   which is set when the server probe code updates the volume status.
   This flag will be used to prevent the server probe operation from
   changing the order of the least recently used queue.
 
 * Modified cm_GetVolumeByName to ensure that only one cm_volume_t is 
   allocated for a given set of normal, readonly, and backup volumes
   regardless of whether or not the volume is accessed via name or 
   ID number.  The cm_volume_t namep field is always the base name
   of the volume. 
 
 * Added a new volume state, vl_unknown.  This state is used as
   the initial state for all cm_volume_t when the cache manager starts, 
   for each cm_volume_t at creation, and for each cm_volume_t when
   recycling.  The cache manager does not know the state of all 
   volumes in the world, only those that are in the cache and for
   which it has queried the VLDB and hosting file servers.
 
 * modified cm_GetVolumeByName() to initialize the state of a 
   volume to vl_unknown.  The actual state will be set when a 
   cm_VolumeUpdate() call completes successfully.
 
 * changed name of scache hash table variables to avoid ambiguity
   when adding hash tables for volumes
 
 * fix a buffer overrun in sys\pioctl_nt.c  pioctl().
 
 * modified cm_UpdateVolume() to handle the case in which there is
   no RW volume but there is are RO volumes for a given base name. 
   This is done by querying for the ".readonly" volume name if the 
   base name does not exist in the VLDB.  We never query for the
   .backup name because under the current usage model a .backup 
   volume may only exist on the server that the read-write volume
   is located.  If there is no RW volume, there can be no .backup.
 
 * Added four hash tables for cm_volume_t objects to improve the 
   search time of cm_GetVolumeByID(), cm_GetVolumeByName() and
   cm_ForceUpdateVolume(). One each for Name, RWID, ROID, and 
   BKID.  Three ID hash tables are necessary as long as it is
   desireable to maintain a single cm_volume_t containing all
   of the related RW, RO, and BK volume data.  Having the RW and
   RO volume data in the same object is necessary for the 
   implementation of cm_GetROVolumeID() which returns either the
   RO or RW ID depending upon the existence of RO volume instances.  
 
 * Added a volume LRU queue so that volume reuse becomes fairer.
   This does not replace the all Volumes list which is used when
   it is desireable to walk a list of all the volumes whose order
   is not going to change out from underneath you which makes it
   safe to drop the cm_volumeLock.
 
 * handles volume hash table updates where volume name to 
   volume ID number changes.  The volume name remains 
   constant in the cm_volume_t.  if a vos rename is performed, 
   the name of the volume will change and the volume IDs will be 
   updated.  Subsequent access to the old volume ID will create a 
   new cm_volume_t with the new name.
 
 * Added a daemon thread operation to query the state of volumes
   listed as busy or offline.  cm_CheckBusyVolumes() calls 
   RXAFS_GetVolumeStatus() for each volume ID that is marked vl_busy 
   or vl_offline.   If the volume is now online, the status on the
   volume is updated.  The default period is 600 seconds.  This can 
   be configured with the BusyVolumeCheckInterval registry value.  
 
 * Added prototype for smb_IoctlPrepareRead() which was missing a
   return type in the function definition.
 
 * Added volume id lists to the cm_server_t.  These lists are
   allocated in blocks of ~32 IDs.  When a cm_PingServer() 
   detects a change in server state, the state of the cm_volume_t
   is updated.  
 
 * Added volID to the cm_serverRef_t object.  volID is used
   to identify the volume for which the object is a referral.
   cm_FreeServerList() uses the volID to remove the volume 
   from the cm_server_t.
 
 * In cm_Analyze, when VNOVOL or VMOVED are received, 
   call cm_ForceVolumeUpdate() to force a refresh of the volume 
   location data.
 
 * Added cm_VolumeStatusNotification() which is used at the moment
   to log volume status changes to the trace log.  It will also
   be used as the access point to the File System Filter driver
   notification engine.
 
 * Added an all cm_scache_t list to cm_data.  This replaces the use
   of the stat cache LRU queue when we need to enumerate all 
   entries.  The LRU list order is not static and when using it to 
   enumerate all entries it can result in items being missed or
   items being processed more than once.
 
 * Modified cm_Analyze(). Instead of reseting the busy or offline
   state of a volume and forcing a retry of the operation
   cm_Analyze will defer to the background daemon thread that will
   update the state once every 600 seconds.
 
 * Added the automatic generation of a Freelance ".root" read-write
   mountpoint that refers to the root.afs volume of the workstation
   cellname at the time the mountpoint is created.
 
 * re-write cm_Analyze to make better use of the known volume
   status.  VL_Server queries cannot result in CM_ERROR_ALLOFFLINE
   messages.
 
 * renamed cm_CheckBusyVolumes to cm_CheckOfflineVolumes.  
   busy volumes will be reset to srv_non_busy by the function
   but there is no mechanism for querying the busy state other
   than by attempting to access the resource.
 
 * cm_Analyze will query the state of an offline volume before
   deciding whether or not to retry when all volume instances
   are offline.
 
 * the algorithm used after an IP address list change detection
   has been modified.  we now check the state of the VLDB servers,
   then reset the rx connections, and finally check the state of 
   the file servers.  Previously we flushed the rx connections 
   and then checked the servers in whatever random order they 
   were first discovered.
 
 * fix the volume status reported by "fs examine"
 
 * various improvements to the AFS Network Identity Manager Provider.
   - Don't access freed objects after the window has been destroyed.
   - Write back the AFS cell list in the identity configuration 
     even when its empty.
   - Disable all use of the provider when AFS is disabled for a 
     particular identity.
 
 * Fix cm_cell_t leak.  When evaluating a mountpoint that uses an
   alias instead of the full cellname, double check the full cell
   name and see if we have a matching cell before allocating a new
   one.
 
 * Dump more data with "fs memdump". All volumes and scaches and
   now cells.
 
 * Reverse the order of the all cells list.  This ensures that
   the workstation cell is always first in the list.
 
 * If we recognize the server from which a callback revoke was
   received, then we can ensure that we only invalidate the status
   information for cm_scache_t objects belonging to that cell.
 
 * When building for amd64, use APPVER 5.02 as we do not support
   64-bit Windows 2000 and explicitly state the machine type in
   the link flags.  
 
 * no longer treat VMWare network adapters as equivalent to a 
   loopback adapter.  For some unknown reason, publishing the "AFS"
   netbios name on them frequently results in a name collision 
   error.
 
 * Use read locks whenever possible instead of write locks when
   walking the allCellsp list.  This permits better use of multiple
   CPUs.
 
 * In 1.5.20 a bug was introduced by the fake status when PRSFS_READ
   is not present on the directory optimization.   It would report
   mount points and directory objects for which there was no
   status information as a zero length file.  Instead we can use 
   the vnode number of the object to determine if it should be
   considered to be a directory or a file.  If it is odd it is a
   directory; even it is a file.
 
 * Give Back Callbacks to the file servers in response to suspend
   and shutdown power management events.  Only give up callbacks
   to UP servers and do so with a very short RX dead timeout.
   (10 seconds)
 
 * Fix a race condition in the SMB FID cleanup code that could 
   result in a stat cache mutex never being released.
 
 * Fix the graphics files that are installed as part of the 
   IBM Administrators Guide.
 
 * Change the behavior of pioctl path parsing to not follow 
   symlinks or mount points during evaluation.  This results in
   the FID being the symlink or mount point and not the object
   they point to.  This is consistent with the behavior of the 
   UNIX client.

 * Enable AFSDB record lookup for command line tools such as
   "fs" and "vos".

 * CellServDB update 2007-07-05

 * Added a Volume Status Plug-in Interface that permits third parties
   to receive notifications when the volume state changes occur.

 * Ensure that all writes to the afsd_alloc.log file use CR-LF.

 * Prevent the afsprocmgmt.dll from being unloaded while the 
   background thread it starts is running.

 * Avoid a race condition when closing smb_fid_t objects.

Since 1.5.19
 * fix install path of IBM Quick Start Guide when installed by
   the Wix installer

 * fix the client so that it can write into directories with
   only 'li' permissions.

 * fix installation of 32-bit Shell Extension for 64-bit systems.
   Install it under its own HKCR keys.

 * modify the wix installer to remove and upgrade install packages
   with the same version number.  

 * when flushing volume location data every two hours or in 
   response to "fs checkvolumes", also flush the mount point 
   links in order to force their re-evaluation.

 * aklog was copying an uninitialized buffer as part of the 
   foreign cell automatic pts registration

 * when obtaining directory listings, check for read permission
   on the directory.  If read permission does not exist, fake the
   status information for the directory entries.  This improves
   performance, prevents the client from pounding the file server,
   and prevents leakage of cached status information.

 * "fs getcacheparms" output was incorrect.

 * NetIdMgr AFS Provider should only automatically add token 
   acquisition for cell foo.com if the realm of the cell matches
   the realm of the identity.

 * Fix a null pointer dereference in cm_MergeStatus()

Since 1.5.18

 * network identity manager provider:

   - Correct for the fact that pr_CreateUser tampers with the 
     contents of the username input buffer.

   - Take into account that the krb4 credential data structure
     does not have separate realm fields for the user and service.
     When krb524 is used with a cross-realm ticket, the realm
     describes the service not the user.  

 * Many integrated logon changes:

   - Fix eventlog reporting.  Do not attempt to log an event 
     if the event source registration fails.  Use DebugEvent0 
     instead of DebugEvent when there are no parameters.

   - Modify the LOOKUPKEYCHAIN macro to recognize ERROR_MORE_DATA 
     errors.

   - Fix the reading of Domain specific configuration for 
     LogonScript and TheseCells.  Previously the dwSize value was 
     being overwritten so that subsequent RegQueryValueEx call 
     would fail.

   - Fix a memory leak in the TheseCells reading code.

   - Add support for Domain specific "Realm" specification.  The 
     realm is the realm to be appended to the username.  When 
     logging in as a domain or to the local machine, the specified 
     "Domain" name is not going to be a valid realm name.

   - Construct a proper principal name based upon the domain 
     specified realm for use in obtaining tokens with KFW.

   - If the domain specified "TheseCells" list includes the 
     default cell, do not obtain tokens twice.

 * An unprotected call to the Kerberos v5 function, 
   krb5_free_context(), can result in an invalid memory access
   exception if the contents of the krb5 profile, krb5.ini, cannot
   be parsed correctly.  The error is located within the afskfw
   library which is used by afscreds.exe, afssvrmgr.exe, and 
   afslogon.dll.  When the error is triggered within afslogon.dll
   a blue screen condition can occur when the winlogon.exe system
   process terminates unexpectedly.

Since 1.5.17

 * Do not stop the afs client service with an assert
   if the cell name cannot be determined when responding
   to a "fs whereis" command.

 * Integrated Logon (afslogon.dll).  No longer attempt 
   to preserve Kerberos 5 tickets for the logon session
   as that job is now supported by KFW 3.1 and above.

 * The Network Identity Manager plug-in will attempt to
   remove expired service tickets from the cache.

Since 1.5.16

 * CellServDB update - GCO Public CellServDB 09 Mar 2007

 * AFS Server Manager and AFS Account Manager data cache
   moved from HKCU\Software\TransarcCorporation to 
   HKCU\Software\OpenAFS to prevent crashes due to data
   format changes.

 * Reduce the default UP server probe time from 10 minutes
   to 5 minutes to match UNIX.  This will not solve the NAT
   port mapping timeout issue because most NATs default to
   a value less that 5 minutes and this value ensures that
   the afs client server will start probes 5 minutes after
   the last probe set ended.  The probe period for any one
   server is therefore longer than 5 minutes.  The more
   servers in the list the longer the time between probes.

 * Before marking a server as down in cm_Analyze, retry the
   request using a new rx connection to the server.  If the
   cache manager is behind a NAT, it is possible that the 
   response from the server is being sent to the original   
   address:port from which the rx connection was established.
   This will appear to the cache manager as the server being
   down when in fact it is not.  Forcing the use of a new rx  
   connection will result in the server responding to the    
   most recent address:port assigned to the client by the NAT.

   If the server is in fact down, it will simply take a little
   longer to notice it.   

Since 1.5.15

 * Removing a directory that contained entries was failing with
   the wrong error code being returned to the CIFS client.

 * rxdebug -long 

 * rxdebug exponential back-off.  don't take down a server that
   is already struggling to respond.

 * Network Identity Manager plug-in registers help on the Help
   menu if it is supported by NIM.  (KFW 3.2 and above)

 * Plug-n-play networking did not always work after coming back
   from a Windows Suspend.  The AFS client service failed to 
   re-compute the LAN adapter to bind to and instead attempted
   to bind to all LAN adapters.  This would polute the public
   network with the name "AFS" which could lead to conflicts 
   between machines.

 * Build installers using Microsoft Hotfixes provided at
   http://tinyurl.com/243svk for Visual Studio C RunTime Library
   Daylight Savings Time issues.  

 * "fs checkserver" does not require admin privileges unless 
   the probe interval is being changed.

Since 1.5.14

 * A reference leak was discovered in the mountpoint traversal 
   functionality which resulted in cm_volume_t objects not becoming
   eligible for re-use.  This will trigger a panic condition when
   more than the maximum number of volumes is accessed.

 * Fixed the success test for the "fs memdump" operation.  Success
   is now reported as such.  Added cm_volume_t object information 
   to the dump file.

 * A data corruption error has been fixed.  Write requests
   queued for background processing were not retried upon failure.
   This leads to inconsistencies between the contents of the file
   in the local cache and the contents of the file on the file 
   server.  

   The implemented fix is to re-queue any request that has failed
   due to timeout, volume busy, volume offline, server busy, or
   server offline.  Requests are not processed while all servers
   for a volume are inaccessible.  When servers become accessible
   the background request will be retried.

   In addition, if a background write fails, do not mark the buffers
   as clean.  Failure to preserve the dirty flag prevents the buffers
   from being written to the file server in the future.

   This fix does not address the possibility that the credentials
   necessary to perform a write request might expire between the
   time the request is queued and when the request can be processed
   due to server accessibility.

 * The Freelance volume does not support per user ACLs.  The
   cm_HaveAccessRights function did not handle this special case.
   Requests for privileges greater than read|lookup would result
   in afsd_service.exe entering an infinite loop.  ISOBuster is
   known to cause this behavior.

 * When deleting files, the SMB Server would attempt to obtain
   the access permissions for the parent directory instead of 
   for the file itself.  This would result in an incorrect 
   assessment of whether or not the file can be deleted.

 * The Network Identity Manager AFS plug-in has had its string
   tables updated for consistency with the language used by NIM.
   All credentials are referred to as credentials instead of tokens.
   Drop-down combo boxes now in fact drop down.

 * The AFS Salvager was not properly being built on Windows.
   This is relevant only if the AFS servers are in use.

 * The default signal handlers for the AFS servers incorrectly
   processed SIGQUIT.  Instead of stopping the server, an
   exception was raised.

 * Fix another volume refcount leak.  This one was triggered by
   an inability to contact the vlservers in order to update the 
   file server list.

 * Fix checklist control used by the drive mappings tabs in 
   afscreds.exe and afs_control.exe.

 * Improve output of "fs memdump" related to buffer management.

 * Fix refcount leak of cm_buf_t objects when prefetching buffers
   already in the process of being fetched.

 * Improve cache performance by computing the buffer hash table
   size based upon the number of buffers so that the average 
   number of entries in a bucket is seven.

 * Improve cache performance of read/write data by locally 
   updating the dataVersion of all buffers associated with the
   file on each StoreData or StoreStatus operation provided that
   the dataVersion was incremented by one and the dataVersion of
   the buffer matched the original dataVersion of the cached 
   status information for the file.

 * When recycling cm_scache_t objects, make sure that we 
   clear all of the previous fields.  It is no longer the
   case that we can assume that the stat cache object is being
   obtained only after a successful FetchStatus call.  
   InlineBulkStatus will allocate stat cache objects for which
   the no status information is available.

 * When a file is being opened with the OPEN_ALWAYS disposition,
   do not require write permissions when the file already exists
   unless of course the file is being opened requesting write 
   access.

 * When a file has been opened for read-only access, if the 
   application requests an exclusive lock, obtain a read-lock
   instead of a write-lock.  The purpose of the exclusive lock
   in this situation is to prevent changes to the file and the
   full file read lock will provide this guarrantee.


Since 1.5.13

 * Enforce Unix Mode Write bit to prevent file deletion of read only
   files.

 * The CIFS READ and LIST permissions use the same value 0x0001.
   When a directory is being accessed, check for PRSFS_LOOKUP 
   instead of PRSFS_READ.

Since 1.5.12

 * Fix computations of short names of mount points.  They were
   broken as part of the directory search optimization. (1.5.13a)

 * When all buffers are in use, periodically sleep the threads
   waiting for a buffer to become free while the global buffer
   lock is not being held in order to permit those threads that
   can free buffers to do so.

 * Power Management improvements.  Maintain a global flag that 
   specifies whether or not the service is in a suspend state.
   Do not panic if Netbios() returns NRC_BRIDGE meaning that the
   lana is no longer valid.  Instead, stop the listener threads
   and if all listener threads are stopped, reset the lana_list.
   Allow the cm_Daemon() thread to periodically check the state
   of the smb listeners.  If they are all stopped and the service
   is not suspended, attempt to restart them.  If there are no valid
   lanas, return to the stopped state.

 * CreateX and NTCreateX use cm_CheckNTOpen() to test whether or not
   the user is permitted to obtain read or write locks.  This function
   would obtain the lock and then drop it returning whether or not 
   the lock could be obtained.  If the lock was in fact required,
   CreateX/NTCreateX would then obtain it with cm_Lock().  The problem
   of course being that this pattern results in three RPCs to the 
   file server (lock, unlock, lock).  This is reduced to one RPC by
   implementing cm_CheckNTOpenDone() which frees the allocated byte
   range lock from cm_CheckNTOpen() after the cm_Lock() call is 
   performed.

 * Optimize the SMB FindFirst processing for the case in which there
   are no wildcards.   If a cm_Lookup succeeds, generate a response
   from the stat cache entry we have a callback for.  Its cheaper 
   than walking each buffer of directory data associated with the
   directory stat cache entry when we have thousands of directory
   entries to search.

 * Increase the SMB Ioctl MaxData size to support larger token sizes

 * Disable autorun of the AFS Server Wizard when the AFS Server is 
   installed.

 * Add AFS Server service dependencies on tcpip and PNP_TDI

 * Remove the AFS Server Configuration Tool shortcut

 * Add Freelance mode awareness to AFS Server Configuration Tool

Since 1.5.11

 * Unlike previous versions of the OS, Vista performs a shutdown on
   the Microsoft Loopback adapter just like it would on a real adapter.
   This causes the smb_Listener threads to trigger a panic during a
   suspend/hibernate power event.

   The fix is to unbind from the network adapters in response to a
   suspend/hibernate power event and then rebind to the adapters
   when a resume power event is received.  Note that the resume events
   are not reliably delivered so it is possible the afs service will
   not be accessible.  However, this is the best we can do.

 * don't allow environment variables we set in afslogon.dll to be 
   inherited by child processes

 * force an rx connection reset if VICECONNBAD or VICETOKENDEAD are
   received

 * The old dirty buffer synchronization algorithm had a buf_IncrSyncer
   thread walking the all buffer list periodically searching for dirty
   buffers to write to the file server.  This had several negative
   results.  The algorithm ate up ever increasing amounts of CPU time
   even when AFS is idle as the size of the cache increases.  Also,
   buffers were written to the file server in an order based upon the
   original buffer allocation which has nothing to do with the order
   in which the buffers became dirty.

   The new algorithm maintains a dirty buffer list.  Items are added
   when the buffer is originally marked dirty.  A buffer is only
   removed from the list by the buf_IncrSyncer when the buffer is no
   longer dirty.  If the list is empty the thread goes back to sleep
   immediately without additional processing requirements.

Since 1.5.10:

 * Enable renaming of directories from the Explorer Shell when
   Offline Folders is enabled

 * An error is reported in response to the SMB ReceiveCoreFlush 
   request when an error has not occurred.

Since 1.5.9:

 * optimize dirty buffer flushes in response to suspend operations
   do not flush if only loopback adapter is installed
   do no retry dirty buffer writes

 * do not reset netbios when performing loopback checks.  doing
   so will break the existing lana bind

 * remove a deadlock in smb3.c QPathInfo 

Since 1.5.8:

 * Add NetIDMgr AFS Plug-in

 * "Show Tray Icon" checkbox removed from afs_config.exe

 * Disable DNS Registrations for the Loopback Adapter and make sure
   that Netbios is turned on.

 * A reference count leak on stat cache objects was fixed

 * For debugging, tread ids of writers are now tracked on locks

 * Corrected an incorrect lock that was being held but not
   freed in a rare error case

 * Changed trace log end of line to CR-LF so it can be read
   with notepad.exe

 * modify the buffer synchronization thread to write all dirty
   buffers and sleep only when there is no work to be done

 * improve behavior of cache manager when large numbers of 
   temporary files are being created by multiple clients within
   the same directory.

 * do not permit dirty buffers that belong to deleted files
   to be written to the file server.  its a waste of bandwidth

 * do not leak stat cache references when the file server
   returns VNOVNODE

 * afscreds: do not permit an attempt to obtain tokens if the
   afs service could not be started.   this was causing stack
   overflows on Vista after resuming from a suspend

Since 1.5.7:

 * better handling of dot directory

 * fs sq and fs mkm now behave as on UNIX

 * add license to installers

 * Return Invalid Parameter error for unknown InfoLevels in
   SMB Tran2 Search Directory.

 * Correctly use WSAStartup and WSACleanup within the RX library

 * Check that afsd_service.exe is running before performing
   a pioctl call.

 * Force AFS Shell Extension to load resource DLL using 
   afs_shl_ext.dll as a base name.

 * (Wix) install afs_shl_ext_XXXX.dll and afs_creds_XXXX.dll in 
   OpenAFS\Client\Program

 * Fix SMB_SET_FILE_END_OF_FILE_LENGTH

 * Do not panic if the maximum number of volume entries are in use
   and one of them can be recycled.

Since 1.5.6:

 * Fix the code that reads the backconnnectionhostnames value
   so that there is not an uninitialized variable

Since 1.5.4/1.5.5:

 * integrated logon could cause winlogin.exe to blue screen windows
   if it was called with a domain that does not exist on the machine.
   this is possible during a sysprep.

 * corrections to cm_buf_t handling to ensure that buffers are
   removed from queues before they are freed and that holds are
   obtained on the next buffer in a chain before releasing the
   current one.

 * do not generate MessageBox dialogs on network errors.  they 
   cause more trouble then they are worth.

 * move GlobalAutoMapper into a separate thread so that it does
   not prevent service startup if the WNetAddConnection2 call
   does not return.

 * restrict hard dead and connection timeouts to the CIFS Session
   Timeout value.  This is being done to try to prevent virtual 
   circuits from being destroyed prematurely.

 * Fix the code that writes the backconnectionhostnames value
   to ensure that the data buffer is written with the correct 
   length.

 (there were no windows specific changes between 1.5.4 and 1.5.5)

Since 1.5.3:

 * Corrections to the Integrated Logon functionality that permits
   Kerberos 5 TGTs to be communicated into the user session.  The
   transfer is now more secure and succeeds when the user does not
   have read permission to the %SystemRoot%\TEMP directory.

 * NSIS installer updated to version 2.18

 * WiX installer updated to version 2.0.4221.0

 * Updates to the IFS functionality for 64-bit correctness and 
   permit compilation.   The IFS functionality works for pioctl()
   operations but not much else at this point.

 * A major re-write of the OpenAFS implementation of the CIFS Tran2
   query and set functions.  

 * Ignore the Windows CIFS client session timeout entirely.  Timeout
   only after the AFS Hard Dead Timeout period expires.

Since 1.5.2:

 * move headers, libraries, and samples from OpenAFS\Client to 
   OpenAFS\SDK

 * remove the auto-registration of AFS IDs for foreign cells
   from integrated logon.  this permits afslogon.dll to avoid 
   initializing the RX library.  afslogon.dll is a network 
   provider library and as such it is loaded into all applications
   which perform a CreateProcessAsUser call.  Initializing the
   RX library spawns background threads to listen for inbound
   packets.  When the network provider is unloaded from the 
   process, the RX library does not cleanup the threads.  If they
   continue to execute after the library is unloaded, the process
   will crash.

 * implement inline bulk status calls.  this will significantly
   improve the performance of directory listings.

 * prevent a crash when evaluating mountpoints to volumes that do not
   exist

 * new command: fs uuid [-generate]
   displays the current uuid and allows a new one to be generated
   on the fly without restarting the afs client service.

 * fix the 64-bit installers to properly document the install 
   location

 * move help files to the proper location so they can be located by
   the system tray tool and the control panel.

 * "over quota" and "disk full" errors were not being reported to the 
   caller.

 * largefile support has been added.  Files greater than 31-bits can no
   longer be written to file servers which do not support large files.
   When file servers support large files, files up to 64-bits can be
   read or written.

 * cm_SyncOp could return with the input buffer unlocked upon error
   which would result in a panic condition.  This bug was introduced
   in 1.4.1.

 * vlserver failover when freelance mode did not work.  This prevented
   the root.afs volume from being loaded if the first vlserver could
   not be reached.

Since 1.5.1:

 * A bug in the CIFS Standard Info response packet caused directories
   to appear as standard files.  This prevented Microsoft Vista from
   being able to walk the AFS directory tree.

 * Mount points must be reported as directories in response to 
   Query Path Info operations.

 * A deadlock was detected when performing "fs flushall" if the 
   file server reports VNOVNODE.   The scp->createBufferLock is 
   already held by the current thread and there is no mechanism 
   to propagate the knowledge.  Therefore, an alternate mechanism 
   for clearing the cache must be developed.  A new function 
   cm_RecycleSCache(scp,flags) has been extracted from 
   cm_GetNewSCache().  This function performs the task of recycling 
   an cm_scache_t object.  When called from cm_GetNewSCache() with 
   no flags the expectation is that there are no associated buffers 
   that are queued to be read or written.  When called from 
   cm_Analyze() with the CM_SCACHE_RECYCLEFLAG_DESTROY_BUFFERS
   flag, any queued buffers will be de-queued and marked as if 
   the operations were performed so the data can be discarded.

 * CM_ERROR codes were logged as "unknown" by cm_Analyze.

 * In response to VNOVNODE, the parent is only discarded if the current
   cm_scache_t is not a directory.

 * In the Ioctl FlushFile and FlushVolume functions, there were no
   checks to protect against flushing the Freelance SCache entries.

 * In FlushFile, the wrong cm_scache_t object was being released.

 * In cm_GetNewSCache, do not allow Freelance SCache entries to be
   recycled.  Choose a new entry if cm_RecycleSCache fails.

 * Speed up the performance of the cache manager by not 
   holding the smb_fid_t mutex across calls to cm_SyncOp 
   and AFS RPCs.

 * Ensure that all smb_fid_t flag references are protected.

 * Remove a deadlock between smb_fid_t mutex and 
   smb_rctLock introduced in 1.4.1.

 * Fix aklog AFSID lookup to use not send the realm
   name when the realm is the local realm for the 
   cell.  The PT Server doesn't strip the realm 
   name when it is the local realm.

 * Treat "\\afs\*." as an alias for "\\afs\all" 

 * Dynamically adjust the priority of server threads
   based upon the age of the CIFS request that is 
   being processed.  The priority is bumped one level
   for every 15 seconds of processing time.

 * The original openafs contribution mis-used the 
   cm_GetCallback function.  This function should only
   be called as a side effect of a call to
   cm_SyncOp(CM_SCACHESYNC_NEEDCALLBACK).  The way it
   was being called results in a FetchStatus RPC being 
   performed even when the client already has a valid
   callback and does so in a manner that destroys the
   synchronization of the threads that are calling 
   cm_SyncOp.  If nothing else this results in a 
   significant performance penalty.

 * More changes to cleanup of smb_vc_t objects in
   order to prevent race conditions.

 * Reduce the amount of Power Management event logging
   to afsd_init.log

 * If the client detects that the IP address has 
   changed, force the use of new RX connections.  This
   enables the file server to recognize that the client
   has moved.

 * Remove a race condition and deadlock associated 
   with cleanup of smb_vc_t objects.

 * Fix the ANSI filename support.  One function that
   required it was missing the translations.

Changes not present in 1.4.1 and since 1.5.0: 1.5.1 released 
(24 April 2006)

 * Add a DllMain() function to afspthread.dll.  Perform
   cleanup of thread local storage, rx queues, critical
   sections, event handles, etc.  This was implemented
   to avoid crashes in afspthread.dll when applications
   which load/unload the dll attempt to terminate.

 * Lock request behavior has been altered.  As of this 
   release a locally allocated lock will be used whenever
   the volume is RO or the requesting user's permissions 
   are 'rl'.  This will allow end users to execute programs
   from RW volumes when they do not have the 'k' privilege.

   Note that a recent discovery indicates that the 'k' bit
   is only supposed to control the ability to obtain read 
   locks.  Write locks are to be controlled by the 'w' and 
   'i' privilege bits.  

 * Code has been added to enable the cache manager to be
   able to obtain the AFSID of the authenticated user.
   This is required to be able to determine when "Insert"
   privileges should apply.  AFS considers a file to be
   a new file whenever the owner's AFSID matches the 
   AFSID of the user.  The current implementation relies
   on the name specified during the SetToken call to be
   correct.  This will be replaced in the future with a 
   new RPC that allows the AFSID of the authenticated 
   user to be obtained.

 * A 32-bit-tools installer for use on 64-bit systems 
   is now available.  These tools are for use with 32-bit
   versions of Kerberos for Windows or JPSoftware's 4NT.

Since 1.4.1 rc10: 1.4.1 final released (9 April 2006)

 * Remove the use of the "active_vcp" variable.  This variable
   no longer serves any useful purpose and was the cause of
   race conditions that produced under counts of the smb_vc_t
   references.

 * Change default minidump output to include data segments

 * restore access to cm_IoctlGetVolumeStatus and
   cm_IoctlSetVolumeStatus calls for AFS pioctl operations.
   Still need to figure out why they are being called
   for SMB/CIFS IOCTL operations instead of Trans2GetFileInfo.

Changes not present in 1.4.1: 1.5.0 released (16 Feb 2006)

 * Update build system to include the "sys_name" in the 
   obj and dest paths.

 * optimize the number of calls to obtain the smb_user_t for a 
   smb virtual circuit.

 * add logging of server addresses, status and capabilities when
   pinging the server.

 * prevent multiple threads from pinging the same server simultaneously.
   instead, threads block and then use the result of the ping that was
   already taking place.

 * Add registry values to allow the defaults for daemon checks to be altered
   at startup.  Log values to afsd_init.log.

   daemonCheckDownInterval
   daemonCheckUpInterval
   daemonCheckVolInterval
   daemonCheckCBInterval
   daemonCheckLockInterval
   daemonCheckTokenInterval

 * Add EventLog messages for transitions in fs crypt state.

 * Byte range locking (when locks will be obtained from the
   is still under discussion)

 * 64-bit Windows operating systems now supported 
   (XP SP2 64-bit, 2003 SP1 64-bit, 2003 R2 64-bit)
   This is a native 64-bit implementation of OpenAFS for Windows.
   There is currently no 64-bit version of KFW and therefore 
   there is no (easy) method for obtaining AFS credentials.  
   32-bit KFW 3.0 can be used with 32-bit OAFW libraries
   to obtain AFS tokens but there is not for the feint of 
   heart.

 * A faster implementation of the fcrypt algorithms improves 
   performance.

 * The afsd_service.exe now supplies Event Log Message Text.
   The event log no longer generates warning text due to lack
   of message configuration.

 * When afs servers are unreachable and network stack returns
   a WSAEHOSTUNREACHABLE error, the AFS client will immediately 
   mark the attempted server as being down.   This allows for
   very fast response to the calling application.  This change
   has a pronounced improvement when the Windows Explorer is
   used on disconnected mobile computers.

 * Added DebugOutputString debugging of the RX library

Since 1.4.1 rc9:  1.4.1 rc10 released (10 March 2006)

 * Fix the rx-lwp implementation to randomly generate rx call
   identifiers which are supposed to be unique at a given point
   in time.  This affects some of the command line tools used
   for debugging but not the AFS Client Service itself which
   uses the rx-pthreads implementation.

 * xstats_fs_test.exe and xstats_cm_test.exe are now built for
   Windows although they are not distributed

 * don't generate an exception when logging unexpected SMB packets

 * the data structures used by cm_IoctlGetVolumeStatus and 
   cm_IoctlSetVolumeStatus are not compatible with the CIFS
   Get/Set File Information calls so don't bother executing them.

Since 1.4.1 rc8:

 * Fix data written to registry as part of BackConnectionHostnames
   data value

 * Fix initialization bug when allocating cm_server_t objects that
   would cause servers to appear to be down after each allocation
   or renewal.   Server would appear up after the next check servers
   cycle.

Since 1.4.1 rc7: 

 * Windows will return WSAECONNRESET to the next receive packet
   operation on a socket if an ICMP packet is received in response
   to a packet that was sent and could not be delivered because
   the port was unreachable.  We have to treat this as 
   WSAEWOULDBLOCK so that we can retry the select() check and
   not mark the connection as bad.

Since 1.4.1 rc6: 1.4.1 rc7 released (14 Feb 2006)

 * The client manager maintains a least recently used list of
   all the ACLs.  If an ACL is already the most recently used
   do not bother to remove it from the list and place it on the
   front.

 * As part of the process of adding a new server, set the 
   server is down flag and then perform a ping.  If the server
   is up, the flag will be reset.  If the server is down, the
   client will not timeout unnecessarily while attempting to
   perform real work.

 * If a Mountpoint String is the empty string, return PATH NOT 
   FOUND.

 * Modify behavior of the Network Provider to avoid querying the
   profile location if integrated logon is known to be disabled.

 * Correct behavior of 'LogoffPreserveTokens'.  When set, tokens
   will always be preserved regardless of whether or not integrated
   logon was used to obtain tokens.  When unset, tokens will be 
   destroyed regardless of whether integrated logon was used to 
   obtain the tokens unless the profile is stored in AFS.

 * Disable LogoffTransferToken functionality.  The SMB V3 Logoff
   message is being delivered even when the user is not logging
   off of the computer.  

 * Fix a deadlock condition introduced in rc6.

 * Cell names are case-insensitive.  Since the founding of OpenAFS
   there has been a bug that treated "cell", "Cell", and "CELL" as
   different cells.  This would result in what appeared to be 
   random disappearance of user tokens or a failure to authenticate
   even when tokens were listed by the "tokens" command.

Since 1.4.1 rc5: 1.4.1 rc6 released (2 Feb 2006)

 * Additional auditing of the smb code revealed that smb ioctl
   operations were failing to free smb_fid_t objects

 * The File Identifiers assigned to smb_fid_t objects could be
   given the value 65535 which is 0xFFFF which is also the 
   INVALID_HANDLE value.  Both 0 and 65535 are now treated as
   reserved values.

 * Audited all assignments to fields and ensured that they are
   protected by obtaining the relevant mutex object.

 * Re-wrote the VNOVNODE handling to avoid a potential deadlock
   if both the current cm_scache_t object and its parent are
   both returning VNOVNODE.

 * Removed all the logic associated with the 'dead_vcp' variable
   which must have been added for debugging because its used 
   was never thread safe and it truly served no purpose.

Since 1.4.1 rc4: 1.4.1 rc5 released (25 Jan 2006)

 * Re-enabled LogoffTokenTransfer and LogoffTokenTransferTimeout
   registry settings.  Default is ON and 120 seconds.  If set to 
   OFF, tokens will not be destroyed.

 * Fixed a number of race conditions and reference count problems
   associated with global queues.

 * Added a method to detect abandoned smb virtual circuits so their
   associated file handles, locks, user tokens, and smb session
   resources can be released.

 * Added a mechanism to allow user tokens to be preserved 
   during integrated login and be freed after logoff.

 * Check access permissions to the file before the file is 
   truncated.

 * More improvements to the handling of SMB Virtual Circuits
   when SMB sessions are closed.

 * Correct a race condition introduced in rc4 that could result
   in a crash of afsd_service.exe.

Since 1.4.1 rc3: 1.4.1 rc4 released (11 Jan 2006)

 * Properly handle pre-mature SMB session closures.
   File handles, tree connections, and user sessions are now
   freed when the virtual circuit is closed.

 * smb_username_t and smb_user_t objects are now properly reference
   counted and freed as appropriate.

 * disable to use of AFS file locks.  byte range locking is still
   implemented but all locks are managed locally.  This prevents
   multiple processes from editing the same file on the same 
   machine but it does prevent multiple processes on separate 
   machines from modifying the file.

Since 1.4.1 rc2: 1.4.1 RC3 released (4 Jan 2006)

 * A fix to "fs setserverprefs -vlserver".  Multiple calls with
   the same server parameter would result in a panic condition
   if the server had not already been contacted by the AFS 
   client service.

 * Better warnings are written to the afsd.log file when 
   the Windows RPC Protocols are not properly configured as
   is often the case on Windows 2000.

 * fix the procmgmt library to restore C RTL signal handlers when 
   it is being detached from the process prior to process termination.

Since 1.4.1 rc1: 1.4.1 RC2 released (30 Nov 2005)

 * close a lock leak in the rx library that could be triggered while
   processing aborts

 * prevent removal of drive mappings in response to afscreds.exe -M

 * add logic to process VNOVNODE in cm_Analyze.  Force re-evaluation of symlink
   strings and flush the stat cache entry.

 * prevent server objects from being freed if user preferences are set.

 * Update WIX support to 2.0.2419.0

 * Release all locks on the server at service shutdown.

 * A down server should be marked up as long as it responds to the client.
   It doesn't matter if the server returned an error as long as the error
   is something other than VRESTARTING.  If there is such an error, all
   connections on that server should be marked for replacement.

 * Change the check "up" servers period from once per hour to once every
   ten minutes.  This matches the behavior of the Unix cache manager.

Post 1.4.0 revisions: 1.4.1 RC1 released (21 Oct 2005)
 * Byte Range Locking support has been added.  Architectural documentation
   is located within src/WINNT/afsd/cm_vnodeops.c.   Best efforts are
   made to enforce Windows mandatory locking model using locally managed
   byte range locks with full file locks obtained from the file server.
   Read-only volumes provide the user with an implied locking privilege.
   Read-write volumes require that a user be granted the locking privilege
   in order for a lock to be obtained.   As most Windows applications use
   Shared file access modes, they require the ability to obtain locks in
   order to access files.

 * Implement error translation functions to convert Universal Error Codes
   output by modern servers to local errno and winsock error values.
   This fixes the error message problems using pioctl() calls from fs.exe
   and the AFS Shell Extension.

Since 1.4.0 rc8: 1.4.0 final tagged (20 Oct 2005); released (31 Oct 2005)
 * Allow the AFS Client Service to set the firewall configuration by
   retrying until after Windows determines the boot period is over.

 * Do not attempt to configure the firewall on Windows 2000, XP pre-SP2,
   or 2003 pre-SP1

 * Detect IP address changes from within the AFS Client Service for the
   purpose of checking down servers sooner

 * If the file server or vldb server report RXKADUNKNOWNKEY, return
   SEC_E_NO_KERB_KEY to Windows.   This provides an indication to the
   user that there is a Kerberos key problem.  Previously the user would
   receive no feedback when there was something wrong.

 * Fix the large integer library support to properly handle values greater
   than 32-bits

Since 1.4.0 rc7: 1.4.0 rc8 released (15 Oct 2005)
 * Updated CellServDB

 * Fixed file name pattern matching.  Question marks can match nothing
   if found at the end of a component.

Since 1.4.0 rc6: 1.4.0 rc7 released (8 Oct 2005)
 * Kerberos 5 ticket lifetimes should adhere to KFW Leash lifetimes

 * The MSI installer now has a new Product ID for each build.  This
   is to allow for automated upgrades.   The Upgrade ID is remaining
   constant.

 * Volumes that were cached and then subsequently were salvaged,
   moved or otherwise taken temporarily offline (as opposed to being
   busy) would become unreachable.  A distinction is now made between
   a volume being offline and a server being down.

Since 1.4.0 rc5: 1.4.0 rc6 released (2 Oct 2005)

 * Fixed several AFS Shell Extension issues:
   - Checking Server Status would only work if a specific cell was
     specified.
   - If servers were down, the Server Down dialog would write to 
     invalid memory and cause explorer.exe to crash
   - Default Push Buttons were not specified for many dialogs
   - The extension would be unloaded by the Explorer Shell and
     never be reloaded under some circumstances. 

 * Fixed the AFS System Tray menu to disappear if another Window
   was selected before a menu item was selected

 * Added volume owner and group information to "fs examine" output

 * Added fs and registry support for enabling/disabling/clearing 
   rx statistics gathering.

Since 1.4.0 rc4: 1.4.0 rc5 released (25 Sep 2005)

 * New Product Code GUIDs issues for 1.4 and 1.5 branches.  Separate
   GUIDs for each platform.

 * Documentation directory structure and default installation rules
   for MSI 

 * New OpenAFS for Windows HTML Release Notes installed
   as part of the documentation set.

 * Add thread id to rx debugging messages

 * When all servers are offline, return a bad network path error
   immediately.  This is necessary to allow Explorer to do the 
   right thing and not hang.   The background daemon thread will
   check the down servers every 30 seconds to see if they are
   back up.  

Since 1.4.0 rc3: 1.4.0 rc4 released (14 Sep 2005)

 * The AFSCache file has been modified to store both the
   serial number of the volume on which the file resides
   and the SID of the local machine.   If either change,
   a new UUID is generated.

 * add "fs flushall" command that forces all data buffers
   to be flushed.

Since 1.4.0 rc2: 1.4.0 rc3 released (4 Sep 2005)

 * add support for '/' instead of '\' in pioctl() calls

 * Apply AFS Client Admins group protect to AFS Shell Extension

 * Add support for \\afs\<name> to most AFS Shell Extension 
   commands except the symlink methods. 

 * when installing the Microsoft Loopback Adapter, enable
   MS Client for Networks and prevent an install failure 
   by not calling CoInitialize twice in the same thread.

 * reload cell vldb values from the CellServDB every two
   hours in case it changes

 * When updating cell information from DNS, be sure to set 
   a new timeout.

 * Add support to allow use of \\AFS\<foo> where <foo> is 
   either a mount point or symlink.   As <foo> is normally 
   treated as a share name, we transform it into \\AFS\all\<foo> 
   for processing.

 * Init 'code' to prevent false errors when integrated logon 
   is disabled and the service is not running

Since 1.4.0 rc1: 1.4.0 rc2 released (28 Aug 2005)

 * Removed trace log messages that were hampering performance.

 * Fixed a deadlock that was being triggered by editing Word 
   documents stored within AFS with WinWord 2003.

 * Bit 3 of the TraceOption registry value is now used to set the
   default for "fs trace" in the non-Debug builds.  The new default
   is off for release builds and on for debug builds.

 * Bit 2 of the TraceOption registry value can be used to turn on
   real-time output of debug log entries to the Windows Debug
   Output monitor interface.  This data can be viewed with tools
   such as Sysinternal's DbgView.

Since 1.3.87: 1.4.0 rc1 released (17 Aug 2005)
 * When the cache manager reports ALLBUSY or ALLOFFLINE for
   a resource we should not be returning status codes such
   as Network Busy or Remote Host Down because these errors
   will imply that the AFS Client Service is Busy or Down
   and that is simply not the case.   Instead we will return
   Bad Network Path as the path is temporarily not available.

   Instead of returning Sharing Paused when there is a
   timeout error, return Timeout.  Once again, the AFS Client
   Service is not paused.

 * afscreds.exe would display an Obtain Creds dialog when
   the expired credentials reminder was triggered even 
   if there was no network path to the KDC.  This is prevented
   by adding KDC probe logic to the reminder thread.  

 * afscreds.exe would display expired tokens no differently
   than unexpired ones.  This would make it difficult for the
   user to distiguish when the tokens were expired.  For the 
   English build added a new resource string "(expired) that
   is displayed instead of the expiration time. 

Since 1.3.86:
 * "fs wscell" when executed in freelance mode will return the
   name of the cell configured in the registry.  The root.afs
   volume is not loaded from this cell, but it is used for the
   default for aklog and integrated login.

 * "fs mkmount, fs rmmount, symlink make, symlink remove" will
   no longer work on \\AFS\all when freelance is being used 
   unless the user is a member of the "AFS Client Admins" Windows
   Security group.

 * some more checks performed during persistent cache validation.

Since 1.3.85:
 * Optimize calls to cm_CheckServer from cm_Analyze.  Only check
   down servers for the current cell not all cells.

 * If the scache LRU list becomes corrupted, the AFS Client Service
   might enter an infinite loop at startup.   Detect the corruption
   and discard the cache contents in this case.

 * Fixed the Explorer Shell's remove mountpoint functionality.

 * Fixed a deadlock caused by the holder of cm_aclLock attempting to 
   obtain a mutex lock on a cm_scache_t object whose lock is held by
   a thread attempting to obtain the cm_aclLock.

Since 1.3.84:
 * Really fixed DNS AFSDB queries to ensure that "csail" cannot be
   misinterpretted as "csail.mit.edu" when the resolver 
   is configured to append ".mit.edu" to failed DNS queries.

 * Added a new registry key, "LogoffPreserveTokens" (see registry.txt),
   that can be used to force the preservation of user tokens upon logout.

 * Update the NSIS install scripts to use NSIS 2.07.   This release adds 
   recommended installation categories: AFS Client, AFS Administrator,
   AFS Server, AFS Development Kit.  Each category includes a different 
   default subset of the OpenAFS components.

   The OpenAFS logo is now associated with the NSIS uninstall entry
   in the Add/Remove Programs control panel.

 * The user name associated with AFS tokens when obtained with
   integrated login, the afs systray tool, or aklog will always
   include the full Kerberos 5 user principal name regardless of 
   whether or not the cell is local to the realm.

 * Modify integrated login so that it does not enter an infinite
   loop if the service is not set to auto start.

 * Added asetkey.exe used to set a Kerberos 5 key for use by the
   AFS server daemons

 * Added uninstall.exe to Wix installation

 * More modifications to algorithms used to wake sleeping threads.

Since 1.3.83:

 * Changes to the algorithms used to wake threads when they are
   put to sleep because of conflicts over buffer operations.

Since 1.3.82:
 * The OpenAFS integrated logon obtains Kerberos 5 tickets as part of 
   the process of producing AFS tokens.  The tokens are stored within
   the AFS Client Service but the Kerberos 5 tickets have been discarded.
   New functionality has been added to temporarily copy the tickets to
   a file ccache during the short window between the NPLogonNotify and
   WinLogon Logon Event.  The Logon Event handler starts a process as
   user, afscpcc.exe, that copies the tickets into the default ccache.
   The file ccache is then destroyed by the event handler.

 * During synchronization operations on stat cache entries, if threads
   are forced to sleep it was possible that the threads would not be
   woken under heavy load.

 * Enforce the delete on close flag specified by the NTCreateX()
   operation.

 * A race condition in the rx library was fixed that resulted in 
   a deadlock in rx_NewCall when the RX_CONN_MAKECALL_WAITING flag
   was cleared when threads were still waiting to use the 
   connection.   Also, fixed a potential case in which the 
   connection could be destroyed while threads were waiting to use it.

 * The DNLC freelist has been seen to become corrupted with still 
   active entries being stored on the freelist.  Changes were made
   to perform a better job of cleaning entries before placing them
   onto the freelist; marking them with the correct magic value when
   purging the list; and allowing the list to be purged on startup
   if the cache validation fails.

 * Windows Crash Reporting does not get triggered for afsd_service.exe
   because it provides its own top level exception handler.  This patch 
   places an explicit call to ReportCrash() on platforms which support 
   it.  (XP and above.)

   If you configure Crash Reporting via AD Policy to capture crash
   reports within the domain, then you will receive this output.

 * Generate MiniDumps independent of the Windows Crash Reporting.
 
   (a) If an exception occurs,a minidump will be generated at the path
       %TEMP%\afsd.dmp. The type of minidump defaults to Normal but 
       can be set to any other type via use of the
       registry.      

       [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client]  MiniDumpType (DWORD)

   (b) MiniDumps can be generated at any time using the "fs minidump"
       command.   This allows you to generate a minidump without 
       stopping the process or even requiring the use of a debugger
       on the system.

  * an RX connection which reports bad ticket now treats it the same way
    the expired ticket is treated.   The ticket is removed from the 
    connection and a new anonymous connection is established.

  * fs memdump now requires that the caller be in the AFS Client Admins
    group

  * additional debugging information is provided in cm_Analyze when the
    error code is ignored.

  * Fix a regression introduced into the pioctl() client code which
    will cause a crash in winlogon.exe, explorer.exe and fs.exe if
    MIT KFW is not installed. (1.3.82a)

  * Remove AFS Gateway option from OpenAFS Control Panel (1.3.82a)

Since 1.3.81:
  * Fix a race condition in cm_EndCallbackGrantingCall() that 
    could leave 'nrevp' pointing to freed memory.  In the process,
    optimize the processing to ensure that the applications monitoring
    the status of the stat cache entry are only notified at most 
    once.

  * Conditionalize access to the Explorer Shell AFS->Mount Point
    ->Remove menu item.  Disable the item if the selected item(s)
    are not mount points.

  * Activate AFS RPC (RX) Free Packet Queues stored in Thread
    Local Storage.  This eliminates thread contention on the
    global RX free packet queue.  This should improve performance
    on multi-CPU systems.

  * Fix the IP address filtering code to properly load/unload
    the IPHelper DLL so that Windows XP/2003 and beyond systems
    do not have to manually probe the registry.

  * CleanupACLEnt() was not being called consistently with 
    the cm_scache_t object referred to by the back pointer
    mutex locked. This could in very rare conditions lead to
    an invalid memory access.

  * Added a script command to the msi installer "afs_replace"
    which can be used to replace one version of OpenAFS with
    another without requiring an uninstall and reinstall if
    the installed msi is no longer in its original location.

  * Apparently the problem with multi-domain forests with cross-
    realm trusts to non-Windows realms was not entirely solved.
    The authentication to the AFS SMB service failed because 
    the wrong name was being used.  Using ASU as an example,
    the authentication was being performed with the name
    "QAAD\user" (an account in the forest root) and not 
    "user@ASU.EDU (the MIT Kerberos principal used to login with)

    The solution was to add an additional dependency on KFW
    in order or to be able to easily obtain the client principal 
    name stored in the MSLSA ccache TGT.  This information is 
    used in two locations:  

    - the pioctl() function 

    - a new WinLogon Event Handler for the "logon" event.  

    The pioctl function will now be able to use the correct
    name when calling WNetAddConnection2() and the "logon"
    event handler will now be able to call WNetAddConnection2().
    The hope is that the "logon" event handler will be called 
    before the profile is loaded but I have not guarrantee
    that will happen. 

Since 1.3.80:
  * Fixed a locking error in cm_TryBulkStat() which had the
    potential of deadlocking the system for the length of time
    it takes to perform a bulk status fetch operation.

  * Replaced time conversion code (UnixTime <-> FILETIME) to 
    be completely arithmetic instead of relying on a bizarre
    algorithm involving a variety of C RTL time functions.
    This has the side effect that UnixTime and FILETIME which
    are both stored in UTC are interpretted as UTC throughout
    the year.  Windows will apply the same localization to AFS
    as it does to NTFS.  Applications which rely on the ability
    to sync files between the two file systems will no longer
    see the timestamps of files in AFS change an hour relative
    to the files stored in NTFS or Windows based backup devices.

  * Fixed a invalid memory access under a bizarre circumstance.
    Windows will allow a physical mass media device to be 
    installed via Plug N Play to the system and will assign it
    the lowest available drive letter.  This is true even if the
    drive letter is currently assigned in the user session to
    a network device via NET USE (or its equivalent.)  When this
    happens, queries sent to the CIFS server will contain invalid
    data.  This invalid data was not being caught by the AFS 
    Client Service and was resulting in a crash when Freelance
    mode was in use.  

  * Fixed a reference count error when registering callbacks
    on a stat cache object if the callback was already registered

  * Add a case to cm_Analyze() in order to handle the case where
    cm_GetConnByMServers() returns CM_ERROR_NOSUCHVOLUME because
    the server list for the volume is empty.  In this case, force
    an update of the volume info and retry.

  * Insert a missing cm_EndCallbackGrantingCall() which could
    result in threads waiting for a callback to complete to never
    be woken up.

  * In the persistent cache, there is a maximum number of volume
    entries.  Allow volume entries to be reused if the maximum
    number have been allocated and their reference count is zero.

  * If we already have a dead virtual connection object, don't 
    ignore the fact that additional dead vc objects must be taken
    care of.

  * Removed a deadlock condition introduced in the summer of 2004.
    Do not hold mx locks around calls to RX functions including
    rx_NewCall().  That is what reference counts on the rx_connection
    object are for.

  * Fixed an initialization error in afslogon.dll which could
    result in random behavior including a failure to terminate
    the NPLogon function. (1.3.80b)

  * Fixed an error preventing the use of SMB authentication
    on Windows 2000.  (1.3.80a)

Since 1.3.77:
  * Updated CellServDB to Public CellServDB 16 Mar 2005

  * Fixed DNS AFSDB queries to ensure that "csail" cannot be
    misinterpretted as "csail.mit.edu" when the resolver 
    is configured to append ".mit.edu" to failed DNS queries.

  * Fixed another case in which the client would replace connections
    to the host when it was not necessary.  In this case the 
    situation would occur if cryptall was on and the connections
    were unauthenticated due to lack of an appropriate token.

  * OpenAFS for Windows has failed to work at sites which are 
    utilizing a cross-realm trust between an MIT/Heimdal realm
    and a multi-domain Windows forest when the workstation being
    accessed is not located in the root domain.  This is caused 
    by a bug in the workstation which was triggered after the 
    introduction of Windows 2003 Server.  When the bug is triggered,
    the workstation attempts to authenticate users to afsd_service.exe
    by contacting the Domain Controller instead of using the 
    LSA loopback authentication mechanism.

    One of the reasons this bug occurs is because the workstation    
    does not have a reliable way of knowing that the service whose
    netbios name is "AFS" is located on the workstation.  This will
    be fixed starting in Longhorn Beta 1 by Microsoft.  The 
    "BackConnectionHostNames" registry value will be used to 
    indicate that the authentications to that service name should
    be performed using the loopback authentication mechanism.

    In the meantime, when Logon Caching is enabled, we can force
    afsd_service.exe to authenticate using the logon cache before
    contacting the Domain Controller.  This will work with both
    password and smart card based logons.  

  * The allDown logic in cm_ConnByMServers() was wrong.  The allDown
    flag should not be cleared if a volume's server reference is 
    marked as "offline".  In the case where all of the volume's 
    servers are either "down" or the volumes are "offline", we want
    cm_Analyze() to process the condition as CM_ERROR_ALLOFFLINE
    instead of as CM_ERROR_TIMEDOUT.  In fact, CM_ERROR_TIMEDOUT
    should never occur in practice.

    In the case of CM_ERROR_ALLOFFLINE, cm_Analyze() will sleep for
    5 seconds, clear the server down and volume busy flags, and 
    then force an update from the VLDB.  This allows the client to 
    update the location of a volume if the reason for it being 
    marked offline is because it is being moved.  Calls to 
    cm_ConnByMServers() will be retried either until success or
    the RDRtimeout period is reached.

  * Correct the Power Management code behavior in response to 
    Standby, Suspend, and Shutdown events.  Instead of flushing the
    buffers associated with the mounted SMB submounts, simply write
    all buffers which are marked dirty.

  * Added support for "TheseCells" to afslogon.dll.  "TheseCells"
    provides a list of cells other than the default cell for which
    tokens should be obtained using the default Kerberos principal.
    This functionality is logon domain specific and is only available
    when using KFW for authentication.

  * Fixed FindNext Invalid Handle error caused by over agressive 
    attempts at garbage collecting dirSearch entries when the 
    dirSearch ID wraps from the maximum value to 1.

  * Add support for registry defined server preferences for VLDB and 
    File servers.  See registry.txt for details.

  * Increased default cache size to 96MB and default number of cache
    entries to 10,000.

  * Fixed refCount leaks related to directory lookups and pioctl calls.

  * Callbacks revoked during a race condition with an attempt to 
    obtain the same callback no longer result in an inaccessible
    stat cache entry.

  * New command line tool:

        afsdacl : Set or reset the DACL to allow starting or stopping
             the afsd service by any ordinary user.

        Usage : afsdacl [-set | -reset] [-show]
              -set   : Sets the DACL
              -reset : Reset the DACL
              -show  : Show current DACL (SDSF)

  * IP addresses are no longer queried once at startup.  Instead IP
    addresses are obtained as needed.   Loopback adapter addresses are
    no longer published to the server.

  * Pay attention to the MIT KFW registry configuration for automatic
    importation of MSLSA credentials. (SOFTWARE\MIT\Leash32,MsLsaImport)

  * Fix (once again) case-sensitive comparisons which was apparently 
    broken in 1.3.72.

  * Activate support for vos listvol -format

  * Population of the "AFS Client Admins" group failed on non-English
    versions of Windows because the name of the "Administrators" group
    is localized.  Now we lookup the name of the group by using the
    Administrators Group Alias Relative ID.

  * Multiple cell token acquisition within afscreds.exe was broken in the 
    case of Kerberos 5 cross realm authentication.  Instead of contacting
    the KDC associated with the cell's realm, afscreds would obtain a 
    token from the KDC of the user's realm.  This would result in
    "invalid kvno errors" while authenticating to the AFS servers.  
    Unauthenticated access would work.  The symptoms would vary based upon
    whether or not the VLDB servers had been contacted using unauthenticated
    connections prior to the user obtaining tokens.

  * The list of ACL entries was becoming corrupted.  It appears as if 
    an ACL when it expires was not being appropriately cleaned up.  In
    fact, it was left in the list of ACLs associated with the scache 
    entry.

  * Changed the default @sys name list to "x86_win32 i386_w2k i386_nt40"
    for 32-bit x86 systems.  The default for itanium will be "ia64_win64"
    and "amd64_win64" for amd 64-bit processors.

  * When executing executables, Windows provides a mechanisms by which
    the normal search for DLLs can be bypassed.  If a file foo.exe is
    being executed and there exists a file or directory "foo.exe.local" 
    (the contents are ignored if a file), then Windows will search for
    DLLs first in the "foo.exe.local" directory and second in the 
    directory in which the "foo.exe" file is located.  

    Previous releases of OAFW would improperly return 
    STATUS_NOT_A_DIRECTORY instead of the expected 
    STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND.  This would cause the Windows SMB client
    to terminate the search for the DLL causing the execution of the 
    application to fail.

  * Rework the reference counting of smb_vc_t objects.  The references  
    stored in the waiting locks were not counted.  This could result in
    an assertion if the reference count drops to zero.

  * "fs wscell" returns "Freelance.Local.Root" for the workstation cell
    when running in freelance mode.

  * Added support for persistent caching of file contents, stat entries,
    volume data, cell data, and name lookup data.  When the registry 
    value, "NonPersistentCaching", is not defined or set to 0 the file 
    specified by "CachePath" becomes a persistent cache file.   The 
    size of the cache file is computed at run time.  It has a maximum
    size of approximately 1.2GB.  The contents of the file will be 
    validated according to the rules specified by the "ValidateCache"
    registry value.  

  * Added support for UUIDs.  UUIDs are kept for as long as the 
    cache file is intact.

  * Added cmdebug.exe and support cache manager debugging callback 
    interfaces in afsd_service.exe.

    Usage: cmdebug -servers <server machine> [-port <IP port>] [-long] 
                   [-addrs] [-cache] [-help]
    Where: -long   print all info
           -addrs  print only host interfaces
           -cache  print only cache configuration

  * Symlinks to \\AFS\[all\]... will now be treated the same as 
    symlinks to /afs/....   However, please use /afs/... as otherwise
    the symlinks won't work on Unix.
  
  * Correct a problem with local CellID allocation for cells whose 
    server list is obtained via DNS instead of a CellServDB file.  If
    the DNS information expires the CellID assigned to the entry will
    be changed.  This causes all of the cm_scache_t objects which refer
    to the old cellID number to become useless.  Attempts to access 
    files or directories with cm_scache_t objects using the old cellID
    will fail since the server list cannot be obtained.

  * Correct deadlock condition in cm_EndCallbackGrantingCall which can
    be triggered if the volume referenced by the cm_scache_t object is
    offline.

  * The AFS Service needs to respond to SERVICE_ACCEPT_SHUTDOWN messages
    in addition to SERVICE_ACCEPT_STOP.

  * Move RPC shutdown until after the SMB and RX shutdown procedures 
    complete.  Block until RPC shutdown is complete.

  * Modify afslogon.dll (integrated logon) to wait for service if its
    state is START_PENDING.  If the timeout period occurs, reset to 
    the retry interval and not the sleep interval.

  * When renewing the server list for a cell obtained via DNS AFSDB
    records, the cm_cell_t entry must be removed from the list of all 
    cells.  Otherwise, the list of cells will be corrupted.
 
  * In the dcache and scache modules, use the cm_scache_t dataVersion
    instead of the cm_fakeDirVersion.  

  * Synchronize fs.c with the unix version.

  * The variable used to determine whether a file or virtual memory
    mapped cache is used was not properly initialized to a default
    value. If the registry setting "NonPersistentCaching" was not
    set, the choice would be random.   Properly initialized to be
    "file".

  * The memory mapped view was never unmapped before closing the file
    at service shutdown.  This is now properly cleaned up.

  * Default location of Cache file is now %TEMP%\AFSCache

Since 1.3.76:

  * A bug affecting new installations of 1.3.75/76 would result in
    the creating of incorrect mountpoints in the freelance root.afs 
    volume for the default cell.

    If "fs \\afs\all\<cellname>" lists a volume name of "root" instead
    of "root.cell", you have been affected by the bug.  To correct the
    problem, execute the following commands:

          fs rmmount \\afs\all\<cellname>
          fs rmmount \\afs\all\.<cellname>
        
          fs mkmount \\afs\all\<cellname> root.cell <cellname>
          fs mkmount \\afs\all\.<cellname> root.cell <cellname> -rw

Since 1.3.75:

  * A bug has been fixed in the auto-generation of Freelance root.afs
    symlinks which produced random entries in the \\AFS\all directory.

  * Support has been added for multi-homed servers

Since 1.3.74:
  * Added a new registry value, "StoreAnsiFilenames", which can be used
    to force the use of ANSI character sets instead of OEM Code Pages.
    This feature is useful when users require the ability to create 
    filenames with 8-bit characters and need to access the files from
    both Latin-1 based Unix systems as well as from Windows.

    Activation of this feature will prevent access to files stored with
    8-bit OEM characters.

  * Shutdown all SMB threads in a synchronized manner when stopping the 
    service.
 
  * There is currently a maximum cache size of 1.3GB.  The limit is imposed
    by the largest contiguous block of unused memory within the 2GB process
    space which can be assigned to the memory mapped file.  Unfortunately,
    when the executable digital signature verification code is activated
    Windows sees fit to further segment the process memory which in turn
    reduces the size of the maximum cache file to less then 800MB.  If
    larger cache sizes are desired, a new registry value should be set:

      HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client (DWORD) "VerifyServiceSignature" = 0x0

    Setting this value will disable the runtime verification of digital
    signatures on afsd_service.exe and the afs dlls which it loads.  It
    will not disable the the version number check on those same files.
    The signature verification is not a security messure and is only meant
    to enhance the ability to afsd_service.exe to detect potential
    destablizing mixtures of DLLs from incompatible distributions.

    Added code to auto-disable the signature verification check if 
    the desired cache size is greater then 700MB.

  * Windows' WinTrustVerify(WIN_SPUB_ACTION_PUBLISHED_SOFTWARE) is 
    used to verify the validity of the afsd_service.exe binary 
    as well as each of the AFS DLLs loaded by the service.  Not only
    must the digital signature be valid but the signatures of the 
    DLL must be signed by the same entity as the service.

  * Implement new functions: cm_freelanceMountPointExists and
    cm_freelanceSymlinkExists.  Use them along with other validity
    checks in cm_freelanceAddMount and cm_freelanceAddSymlink to
    ensure that name collisions do not occur and that empty strings
    are not valid file names.

    A symlink may not have a name which would resolve to a valid 
    cell name.  Doing so would prevent access to the cell.

  * Add missing cm_HoldSCacheNoLock call to Freelance mount point
    re-initialization code.  The reference counts of the fake root.afs
    volume scache object(s) would become invalid when the mount point
    or symlink lists were altered.

  * Add registry entries to provide mappings from the afsdsbmt.ini
    to the new locations for applications which count on the use
    of the old Profile file APIs.  These apps are likely to fail
    if the user does not have administrator privileges and the 
    registry is locked down.

  * The afs_config.exe submounts dialog had two errors.  
    First, attempts to remove entries failed because the registry
    key was being opened without KEY_WRITE privileges.  
    Second, when editing a submount entry, changing the name
    would add a new key and leave the original one in place. 
    Now the original submount will be removed if its name is 
    changed.

  * In recent months there have been several incidents in which
    users have experienced problems starting or accessing 
    afsd_service.exe and after significant effort has been spent
    it has turned out that they have two versions of AFS on the
    machine or an inconsistent set of DLLs.  

    Code has now been added to afsd_service.exe which will walk
    the list of modules loaded by afsd_service.exe and validate
    that the version of the AFS DLLs matches the version of the
    afsd_service.exe executable.  If they do not match the service
    will not start.  

  * When Freelance mode is enabled and there is no registry
    key HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Freelance, afsd_service.exe
    will attempt to import the afs_freelance.ini file contents.
    If the file does not exist, it was creating a dummy file
    with a r/o and r/w entry for the default cell and then
    importing those values.

    This process has been changed.  The temporary file is no
    longer created.   Also, both the OpenAFS Client install
    directory as well as %WINDIR% are checked for previous
    afs_freelance.ini files.

  * Added support for VL_GetEntryByNameN().  Still need to add
    support for VL_GetEntryByNameU() for multi-homed support.

  * Fix a deadlock situation in afscreds.exe when canceling an
    auto-generated Obtain Tokens dialog

Since 1.3.72/73:
  * Fix the locking of objects during Directory Searches in the
    SMB/CIFS server.  The failure to properly lock the reference 
    counts was resulting in the premature freeing of smb_dirSearch_t 
    objects while they were still in use by the SMB/CIFS client.
    This does not solve the "Invalid Handle" problem.

  * Fix Find Cell By Name pioctl call to return a valid cell
    name for the Freelance fake root.afs volume.  
    "Freelance.Local.Root".

  * Fix the Explorer Shell Extension Symlinks->Add operation.
    The dialog template was missing and the link destination
    string was too short.

  * Add support for symlinks to Freelance root.afs volume
    Stored at HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Freelance\Symlinks
       <number>  =  "<linkname>:<relative-path>."
    Use symlink.exe to create, list, or remove

  * Remove the fallback to the use of KFW's KRB4 library when obtaining
    tokens.  We never obtain KRB4 tickets.

  * Fix AFS Client Configuration Control Panel to support new SysName
    protocol.

  * Fix a bug in afsd_service.exe which could result in the SysName
    not being read from the registry.

Since 1.3.71:
  * Add code to block the issuance of AFS tokens by aklog.exe or
    afscreds.exe when the Kerberos 5 principal name contains a dot.

  * Modify the IsAdmin() function to always treat the local SYSTEM
    account as an AFS client administrator.  Affects fs.exe and 
    afs_config.exe.

  * Modify the internal handling of Quota Exceeded errors

  * Upgrade all reference count fields in the Windows cache manager
    and the osi library to use unsigned long instead of signed short.
    A similar fix has been applied to the afs rpc (rx) library.

  * fix the Windows cache manager to prevent it from replacing the 
    rx_connection object associated with the cm_conn_t object on each
    and every operation if "fs crypt" was set.  This explains the 
    dramatic performance difference when crypt is used vs clear.
    The problem: 'cryptall', a boolean flag indicating whether or not 
    "fs crypt" is set, was being compared to the rx_connection 
    cryptlevel which is either rxkad_clear:0 or rxkad_crypt:2.
    1 != 2 and therefore the rx_connection was always destroyed 
    and replaced on each and every operation.

    Lock the cm_conn_t object around every call to RXAFS_xxxx functions.
    It is not safe for the cm_conn_t object to not be locked because
    rx_DestroyConnection might be called from another thread if:
        - the user's tokens have changed or expired
        - the crypt mode has changed

    This fix appears to have also taken care of the problems associated
    with Overlapped Writes resulting in Delayed Write errors.

  * fix NSIS installer's AdminGroup.exe to properly create and
    remove groups when given -create or -remove.  The string comparison
    test was wrong.

  * fs sysname now accepts a list of sysname values 

  * added a new registry value HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client "IoctlDebug"
    DWORD which when set to a non-zero value will cause error message
    text to be output to stderr from the pioctl() routine.  Useful in 
    debugging failures of fs.exe, tokens.exe, etc.

  * added a test to the power management code to only perform a 
    flush operation if there is at least one network adapter which
    is not a loopback adapter.

  * Fix bug in loading of registry value HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client
    "EnableKFW".  This value will not be read if the key
    HKCU\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client exists; even if the "EnableKFW" 
    value under that key does not.

  * provide mechanisms to force the use of krb524d for Kerberos 5
    ticket to AFS token conversion.  For afslogon.dll and afscreds.exe
    there is a new registry value "Use524" and for aklog.exe a new
    command line parameter "-m".

  * Fix the pattern matching algorithm to properly match patterns
    ending with a '*'.

  * smb_ReceiveCoreRename() was factored to produce smb_Rename()
    which is used by both the original function and the new
    smb_ReceiveNTRename().  smb_ReceiveNTRename() supports the
    creation of HardLinks in addition to Renaming.  smb_Link() 
    is a new function which creates HardLinks via cm_Link().
    cm_Link() is a new vnodeops function which creates links
    using RXAFS_Link().

    smb_ReceiveNTRename() does not support the File Copy and 
    Move Cluster Information operations described in its interface.
    ReceiveNTRename is under documented in CIFS-TR-1p00_FINAL.pdf.

  * When opening files via symlinks, we should follow the symlinks
    until we reach the actual file stat cache entry.  The stat cache
    entry of the file should then be stored in the FID instead of
    stat scache entry of the symlink.

  * return bad operation errors for all unimplemented functions
    even if we do not know the functions exist.

  * Log bad packets and unknown operation packets to the trace log

  * Map CM_ERROR_BADOP to STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED instead of 
    0xC09820FF
  
  * Update list of known CIFS operations to include all those listed
    in CIFS-TR-1p00_FINAL.pdf.

  * Modify the handling of HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Submounts
    to support the REG_EXPAND_SZ type.

Since 1.3.70:
  * A new Windows authorization group "AFS Client Admins" is now 
    created and populated with the members of the "Administrators"
    group.  The group is used to determine which accounts on the
    machine may be used to modify the AFS Client Configuration via
    the UI and command line tools.  afs_config.exe, fs.exe, 

  * Modify the WinLogon Logoff Event Handler to query NT4 domain
    controllers for the remote profile path if Active Directory
    services are not available.

  * Fix aklog.exe to not add the AFS ID to the username

  * PTS registration of new users to foreign cells has been added to 
     afscreds.exe

  * The cm_Daemon thread is used to perform checks for 
    down servers, up servers, volumes, callback expirations, 
    lock maintenance and token expiration.  Due to a gaff in
    larger integer division the thread never performed any 
    work.  Instead the current time computation would always
    be less then the trigger times.  This had an adverse affect
    on the client's ability to maintain communication with servers,
    keep volumes up to date, and flush user tokens and acls
    when they have expired. This was broken when the 1.3 branch
    was modified to support VC7 which no longer included 
    largeint.lib

  * An initialization problem with the Freelance code was 
    detected while fixing the callbackRequest.  The cm_rootSCachep
    object is obtained during afsd_InitDaemons() but the callback 
    information is incomplete.  The callback information will not
    be obtained until cm_MergeStatus is called from within
    cm_GetCallback.  Unfortunately, cm_SyncOp did not properly 
    test for the conditions under which the callback information
    must be obtained.  

  * Reports have been filed indicating that callbacks were
    being lost.  An examination of the code indicated that the
    cm_server_t objects were not being properly reference
    counted by the cm_scache_t and cm_callbackRequest_t objects.
    In particular, the cm_server_t objects may have been freed
    from beneath the cm_conn_t objects.

    All of the reference counting is now done via the functions:
        cm_GetServer
        cm_GetServerNoLock
        cm_PutServer
        cm_PutServerNoLock
    this improves the ability to track the referrals.  

    Each cm_BeginCallbackGranting Call now allocates a reference
    to the cm_server_t.  The cm_EndCallbackGrantingCall either
    frees the reference or transfers it to the cm_scache_t
    cbServerp field.  These are then appropriately tracked
    through the cm_Analyze call.

  * Ensure that the dnlc hash table is the same size as the
    dir name hash table (as per original author's note).
    Increase the dnlc CM_AFSNCNAMESIZE to a multiple of 8
    for compatibility with 64-bit systems.

  * fix smb_ApplyV3DirListPatches to properly apply the hidden
     attribute to dotfiles when the infoLevel < 0x101 and 
     cm_SyncOp has failed.

  * Fix the Freelance registry initialization code.  There
    was a possibility that some systems could end up with 
    garbage in the registry during a clean install.

Since 1.3.66:
   * file and directory names beginning with "." will now be given the
     hidden attribute when the volume access is anonymous.  this matches
     the behavior when the volume access is via an authenticated user.

   * Added a change monitor to the HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Freelance
     key.  When a change occurs mark the root.afs data as invalid and
     for it to be reloaded on the next access.  This allows administrators
     to modify the mount point list without restarting the service.
     
     The freelance client used to provide a fake modification time for
     the root.afs volume data and its mount points of 7/09/2001 14:24 EDT.
     Added code to extract the last modification time of the Freelance
     registry key and use that instead.  The time now represents the 
     most recent mount point change.

   * PTS registration of new users to foreign cells has been added to 
     aklog.exe

   * Additional Cache Control and Credential Manager options have been
     added to the WiX installer.  See deployment guide for details.

   * The CachePath setting is now optionally a REG_EXPAND_SZ type
  
   * The WiX installer has been upgraded.  Version 2.0.1927.1 is now 
     required.

   * The loopback installation code may have had a problem updating the
     %ETC%\HOSTS file which could have resulted in a premature failure.
     Work around code has been added for the case where the file cannot
     be deleted.

   * The default max chunksize was increased from 15 (32K) to 17 (128K)
     because Windows sends 64K blocks when using overlapped writes.

   * The default number of server threads was increased from 4 to 25 to
     better handle overlapped writes.  

   * The "AfscredsShortcutParams" registry value was not being properly
     loaded by afscreds.exe.  Therefore, the default value was always being
     used instead of the value set by the installer.

   * Windows XP provides downgrade attack detection to prevent an attacker
     from being able to force the use of NTLM simply by disrupting 
     communication with the KDC.  This attack cannot exist between the 
     Windows CIFS client and the AFS Client Service.  Therefore, when a
     downgrade has been detected the afs pioctl library will force the 
     establishment of a new CIFS connection using NTLM.
 
   * A locking error was discovered surrounding all references to volume
     server lists within the cm_cell.c source file. 

   * The logged into Windows username was incorrect on Terminal Server
     machines.

   * A new registry value "NonPersistentCaching" was added to the service
     parameters key.  When set to a non-zero value, the afs cache is stored
     in the Windows paging file.  There are two limitations to choosing
     this option: 
        1. when persistent caching is implemented it won't work with 
           this flag set since there will be nothing to persist.
        2. with this flag set the initial paging allocation cannot be
           changed while the service is running

   * An initialization bug was discovered in aklog.exe which affected users
     who have a domain name for their afs servers which could not be mapped
     to a realm

Since 1.3.65:
   * afs_config.exe now validates cell names against DNS in addition
     to the CellServDB file.

   * In order to allow the freelance client to connect to a volume with ID 
     equal to 1 on the default cell we changed the fake root.afs volume ID
     once again.  This time we choose 0xFFFFFFFF.  In addition, we change
     the cell ID of the fake root.afs volume from 1 to 0xFFFFFFFF as well.
     It will now be impossible for a volume ID to match that of another 
     cell unless the client is connected to 0xFFFFFFFD cells.  That should
     be enough room for growth.

   * Fix "fs mkmount" command to work with UNC paths and when
     started from non-AFS drives.  It is now possible to create a mount
     point in the freelance fake root.afs volume with the command

        fs mkmount \\AFS\all\<directory-name> <volume-name> <cellname>

     For example,
        
        fs mkmount \\AFS\all\openafs.org root.cell openafs.org
        fs mkmount \\AFS\all\.openafs.org root.cell openafs.org -rw

   * The algorithm used to re-attempt access to the servers associated with
     a volume has been altered to properly address the case in which all 
     servers have been marked down.  The previous algorithm did not reset
     the server's down flags so the servers were never actually retried.
     This caused a problem with active volumes if the network connectivity
     was lost as could be the case with a network cable removal, wireless
     drop, or laptop hibernation.  With the fix volume access is restored
     almost instantenously when network connectivity becomes available.

   * Support for SMB/CIFS browsing has been added to the AFS Client Service
     SMB server.  It is now possible to use "NET VIEW \\AFS" to obtain a
     listing of AFS submounts and freelance mount points.  Support for
     NETSHAREENUM, NETSHAREGETINFO, NETSERVERENUM2, NETSERVERGETINFO
     significantly enhances the behavior of AFS volumes within the Explorer
     Shell.  For instance, "AFS" now shows up as server in the Explorer
     with each submount or freelance mount point visible as a share.
     The right click menu in each folder now works with full functionality
     on a consistent basis.

   * The network provider can be configured to have different behavior
     depending on the domain that the user logs into.  These settings are
     only relevant when using integrated login.  A domain refers to an
     Active Directory (AD) domain, a trusted Kerberos (non-AD) realm or the
     local machine (i.e. local account logins).  The domain name that is
     used for selecting the domain would be the domain that is passed into
     the NPLogonNotify function of the network provider. (see registry.txt
     for details)

   * Added a new registry value [HKCU\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client] 
     "Authentication Cell" which may be used to specify a default 
     authentication cell for afscreds.exe which is different from
     the default cell for the AFS Client Service daemon.

   * Added a Logoff WinLogon Event Notification function to afslogon.dll.
     afslogon.dll moved to %WINDIR%\System32\.
     New registry entries added to register the dll for Winlogon events.

     The logoff event will now force a call to ktc_ForgetAllTokens()
     using the context of the user being logged off as long as the 
     user's profile is not loaded from within AFS.  If the profile 
     was loaded from AFS we can't release the tokens since the Logoff
     event is triggered prior to the profile being written back to 
     the its source location.  This is now performed in an XP SP2 
     safe manner.

   * Windows XP SP2 Internet Connection Firewall interoperability
     has been added.

   * The %WINDIR%\afsdsbmt.ini contains four sections:
        Submounts, Drive Mappings, Active Maps and CSC Policies.
     The Submounts and CSC policies are now stored in the registry under
        [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Submounts]
        [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\CSCPolicy]
     The Drive Mappings and Active Maps are stored in the registry under
        [HKCU\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Mappings]
        [HKCU\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Active Maps]

     There is no automatic migration of this data as it would be impossible
     to consistently migrate data to user profiles which may not be active
     when the machine is updated.

   * The %WINDIR%\afs_freelance.ini contains lists of mountpoints for the
     fake root.afs volume.  For the same reasons as for the cellservdb file,
     this information should not be in %WINDIR%.  This information is now
     kept under the registry key
        [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Freelance]

     The data from the afs_freelance.ini file will be automatically 
     migrated to the registry on first execution of afsd_service.exe

   * Keeping the CellServDB file in the location %WINDIR%\afsdcell.ini is 
     troublesome for several reasons.  One, it is confusing for those who
     expect the file to be named "CellServDB" instead of "afsdcell.ini".
     Two, this file is not a Windows Profile formatted file.  Three, 
     applications should not be reading or writing to %WINDIR%.  It causes
     problems for Windows Terminal Server.

     The new location of CellServDB will be the OpenAFS Client install 
     directory which is by default C:\Program Files\OpenAFS\Client and can
     be determined by querying the registry for 
     [HKLM\SOFTWARE\TransarcCorporation\AFS Client\CurrentVersion]PathName

     The existing afsdcell.ini will be migrated by the NSIS installer. 
     The Wix installer must still be updated to do the same.

   * Change NSIS installer to use DNS by default; to remove Integrated Logon
     High Security mode; and to add Terminal Services compatibility registry
     entries to allow the OpenAFS tools to find the afsdcell.ini and other
     configuration files in %WINDIR%.
  
   * Add support for authenticated SMB connections.   This will remove
     the need for high security mode in most situations.  Both NTLM
     and Extended Security (GSS SPNEGO) modes are supported.  Effectively,
     only NTLM can be used even though Kerberos is now supported.  The
     reason is that it is not possible to construct a service principal
     which is unique to each individual machine.

     SMB Extended Auth does not work on XP SP2 unless one of two registry
     modifications are made:

     (1) To disable the check for matching host names on loopback connections
        set this key.  This does not require a reboot:

        [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
            "DisableLoopbackCheck"=dword:00000001

     (2) To add the AFS SMB/CIFS service name to an approved list.  This
        does require a reboot:

        [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0]
            "BackConnectionHostNames"=multi-sz "AFS" "MACHINE-AFS"

     afsd_service.exe will automatically add the current Netbios Name
     to the BackConnectionHostNames list and then temporarily disable
     the loopback check for one cycle of startup/shutdown of the service.
     We assume most folks do not start/stop without a reboot so this 
     will be adequate in most cases.

   * Fix security hole in afslogon.dll which allowed passwords to be
     sent in clear text to the KDC in a misformed principal name.

   * Fix cm_GetCell() to properly handle expired dns entries
     without crashing

   * If Freelance mode is active and the afs_freelance.ini
     file does not exist, do not create an empty file.
     Instead create a file containing ro and rw mountpoints
     to the default cell using the standard conventions.

   * Modify the Freelance support to handle the ability
     to create rw mount points in the fake root.afs volume.

   * Changed the RPC mechanism used for token setting from 
     named pipes to local.  Use of named pipes can be restored
     by setting the environment variable AFS_RPC_PROTSEQ to
     "ncacn_np". 

     Named pipes were required when a Windows 9x system was
     using a NT system in gateway mode which is incompatible
     with our use of local loopback adapters.

   * In afscreds.exe, if a username of the form user@REALM is
     specified and no password is specified, do not perform a 
     kinit operation.  Only perform the aklog functionality.

   * Add a new registry value which allows the number of processors
     on which afsd_service.exe executes to be restricted.  Valid
     values are 1..numOfProcessors

       HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAfsDaemon\Parameters
          (DWORD) MaxCPUs 

Since 1.3.64:
   * A second MSI based installer option is now available.

   * Fixed Kerberos 5 kinit functionality in afscreds.exe to properly
     request tickets for user/instance@REALM instead of just user@REALM

   * Modify the Power Management Notify routine to wait for the Hard Dead
     timeout period instead of a fixed 19 seconds.  With the longer timeout
     periods Hibernation and Standby could never succeed when network 
     connectivity is not available.

   * The following fs.exe commands are now restricted to Administrator:
     - checkservers with a non-zero timer value
     - setcachesize
     - newcell
     - sysname with a new sysname list
     - exportafs 
     - setcell
     - setserverprefs
     - storebehind
     - setcrypt
     - cscpolicy
     - trace

     setting the default sysname for a machine should be done via the
     registry and not via "fs sysname".

   * NSIS installer adds options to install Debugging Symbols
     and the Microsoft Loopback Adapter; the user is now also
     given the ability to select the afscreds.exe startup options.

   * Build system modified to generate symbols for FREE (aka RELEASE)
     builds as well as CHECKED (aka DEBUG) builds

   * Sites which have a volume ID of 0x20000001 assigned to their
     root.cell volumes have been experiencing problems with accessing
     the root.cell volume of their cell when Freelance mode has been
     active.  This was because 0x20000001 was assigned to the fake
     root.afs volume created by freelance.  The fake volume id is
     now set to 0x00000001 to prevent conflicts.

   * The timeout logic in the AFS Client Service has been wrong
     for sometime.  It is based on two different assumptions.
     First, the SMB client timeout is a fix value as was the case
     with OS/2 Lan Manager.  This assumption is incorrect.  The
     SMB timeout in Windows is a dynamic value computed based upon
     a fixed minimum timeout to which is added time based upon the
     size of the request and the performance characteristics of
     the connection.  Second, it is the responsibility of the 
     SMB Server to enforce the timeout requirements of the client.
     This is untrue.  The SMB Server cannot be expected to know
     the requirements of the client.  More importantly, if the 
     SMB server uses the SMB client timeout as a value to restrict
     its behavior as an RX client, the performance characteristics
     of the local SMB session would be used to prematurely terminate
     WAN connections with significantly different performance 
     characteristics.

     The timeout logic has therefore been modified in the following
     manner:
      . the Lan Manager Workstation (SMB) Session Timeout is used only
        as a basis for configuring the Connection Dead Timeout 
        and Hard Dead Timeout values.  The Connection Dead Timeout
        must be at least 15 seconds longer than the SMB Timeout
        and the Hard Dead Timeout must be at least double the 
        Connection Dead Timeout.
      . New registry entries have been added to allow the Connection
        Dead Timeout and Hard Dead Timeout values independent of the
        Lan Manager Workstation Session Timeout
      . The test to enforce the SMB Client Timeout has been removed.
        
     One of the side-effects of removing the enforcement of the SMB 
     Client Timeout is that regardless of whether or not the SMB client
     is available to receive the response (and how would the SMB server
     know) the RX protocol response can be used to update the AFS 
     Client Service state for ready access by future SMB client 
     requests.

     This should be the end of the "Server paused or restarting messages"
   
   * Add support for arbitrary UNC paths to the pioctl() support.
     This enables the fs commands as well as the AFS Shell Extension
     to work correctly when UNC paths are being used.

   * Fix afscreds.exe (by updating afskfw.lib) to search for cells via
     DNS if the cell configuration cannot be determined via CellServDB

   * Add debug info to test whether CM_BUF_WAITING or CM_SCACHE_WAITING
     are ever set more than once at a time
 
   * Fix the management of lists of cm_cell_t structures when using 
     DNS to lookup cell information.  The previous code would fail to
     reuse the same cellID for a cell if DNS was used more than once
     for a given cell name.  When the ttl expired, a single cm_cell_t
     could be inserted into the cm_allCellsp list more than once 
     producing a loop.  In addition, the vlServerp list belonging to
     the cell was not freed resulting in improper refCounting of the
     servers.

   * Add DNS support to cm_IoctlNewCell() which previous only examined
     the CellServDB file

   * Add cm_FreeServer() function and call it from cm_FreeServerList()
     to properly garbage collect cm_server_t objects 
     
   * Add numVCs variable to smb.c to track the number of smb_vc_t 
     objects created and use it to initialize the vcID field which 
     previously was set to 0 in all objects resulting in FindByID 
     collisions.

   * Fixed DNS lookups to work consistently throughout the OpenAFS
     product instead of just from within the afsd_service.exe

   * Added a runtime check to ensure that AFS Client Service SMB
     Server is accepting connections before attempting to mount
     global drives.

   * Read IP addresses for volume servers out of the CellServDB
     file if gethostbyname() on the hostname fails.

   * Fix getcellconfig() to populate both the Hostnames as well
     as IP addresses when loading cell data via DNS

   * Increase the Connection Dead Time to 50 from 20 seconds
     Increase the Hard Dead Time to 120 from 40 seconds
     (matches the Unix values)

   * Fixed an assertion validating the number of allocated NCBs

   * Fixed the build environment to consistently build for 
     Windows 2000 and above.  (APPVER = 5.0)

   * Fixed rx_debug to properly validate the receipt in incoming
     data with select() and recvfrom().  Do not copy data out of
     the socket buffer unless success is indicated.

Since 1.3.63:
   * afsd_service.exe will now display a message box to the 
     desktop when it terminates due to an IP Address Change.
  
   * installer no longer deletes AFS Server configuration data
     on uninstall

   * installer generates a warning dialog if the RPC service 
     is not properly configured

   * installer compressed with lzma instead of bzip2

   * afsd_service.exe shutdown crash solved once and for all
 
   * reference counting of smb_vc_t data structures improved
 
   * name space collision of smb_fid_t event objects corrected

   * the output of "fs memdump" is now written to 
     %WINDIR%\TEMP\afsd_alloc.log

   * the file TaAfsApp_1033.dll is now properly installed allowing
     the User Manager to start
  
   * a new algorithm is used for computing filename pattern matches

   * afscreds.exe now accepts user names containing instance
     fields.

   * Fix the Directory Name Lookup Cache to be case-sensitive.
     This is crucial in environments in which a Windows client
     is accessing a directory with more than one filename that
     differs only by case.  If the directory contains "FOO" 
     and "Foo".  You want "DEL Foo" to delete the correct one.
     We still have a problem in that "DEL foo" will delete a
     random filename.  This will be addressed in a future release.

   * Fix afscreds.exe -M option (renewMaps) to work when High
     Security mode is off.  Also, remember to disable the ActiveMap
     flag in afsdsbmt.ini when a drive mapping is removed.

   * Updates to NSIS installer script.  AFS Server configuration
     data will not be destroyed on un-install or re-install.  
     Use a better compression algorithm.
   
   * afslogon.dll now uses KFW to obtain tokens when available
   
   * afslogon.dll when given an all uppercase username will
     attempt to authenticate with both the uppercase name
     and an all lowercase variation

   * DST modification removed.  The fix appears to make things
     worse after a reboot of the machine.

   * fs.exe:  added "cscpolicy" which is used to 
     change client side caching policy for AFS shares

     Usage: fs cscpolicy [-share <AFS share>] [-manual] [-programs] 
                         [-documents] [-disable] [-help]

   * Several uninitialized variables have been initialized

   * It is now possible to obtain tokens using cross realm
     Kerberos within afscreds.exe:
        cell:      dementia.org
        user:      jaltman@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
        password:  xxxxxxxx
     Will obtain a cross realm ticket for jaltman/DEMENTIA.ORG@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
     will will in turn be used to obtain afs@DEMENTIA.ORG.
     The resulting token will be stored with the display name 
       jaltman@ATHENA.MIT.EDU@dementia.org

   * aklog.exe has been added to the client

     Usage: aklog [-d] [[-cell | -c] cell [-k krb_realm]] 
                  [[-p | -path] pathname]
                  [-noprdb] [-force]
                  [-5 | -4]

        -d gives debugging information.
        krb_realm is the kerberos realm of a cell.
        pathname is the name of a directory to which you wish to authenticate.
        -noprdb means don't try to determine AFS ID.
        -5 or -4 selects whether to use Kerberos V or Kerberos IV.
           (default is Kerberos V)
        No commandline arguments means authenticate to the local cell.

Since 1.3.62:
   * All of the resource files have been restructured to adhere to
     a set of rules IBM implemented for loading string resources.
     These rules had either been forgotten or were not discovered
     by folks working on the OpenAFS sources.  The end result was
     memory corruption.  This is primary item which was preventing
     the AFS Server from working.

   * Increased the size of the maximum ticket size stored in a token
     from 344 bytes to 12,000.  Increased the buffers used to convey
     messages between the pioctl() caller and the SMB Server from
     1000 bytes to 12,512.  The code appeared to have been writing
     above the top of the stack by quite a few number of bytes.
     (The increased ticket size is necessary for the next item.)

   * When obtaining AFS Tokens via KFW, krb524 is no longer required.
     Instead the raw Kerberos 5 ticket is used in its entirety.  This
     is extremely important as it allows us to use pure Kerberos 5 KDCs
     as the source of the AFS authentication.  The use of up to 12,000 byte
     tickets will allow tickets produced by all versions of Microsoft
     Active Directory to be used.
      - create a user account.       
      - designate it DES only
      - disable pre-auth
      - specify its UPN to be  "afs@realm"
      - assign a SPN of "afs/cellname" to the UPN with setspn.exe

   * Do not enforce the funky 8dot3 pattern matching rule that the first "."
     is special when using long file names.  (you must use "*.*" and not "*")
     Instead only enforce it when performing 8dot3 searches. 

   * Fixed the DST problem with creation times being set one hour ahead

   * Fixed the problem when using \\afs\cell-alias.  For example, 
     \\afs\uncc instead of \\afs\uncc.edu.  Do not a new cell struct
     for the alias name; instead simply expand the name.  One of the
     symptoms of this problem was a loss of acquired tokens.

   * Fixed the AFS Shell Extension.  The Symbolic Link menu was empty 
     of strings.  (Only English strings provided.)

   * Fixed the installer to properly replace in use files.  

   * Fixed the build system to cleanup generated component version files

   * The release build compiled with MSVC 6.0 compiler to avoid the 
     afsd_service.exe shutdown crash.  This does not solve the problem
     but simply avoids it for the time being.

Since 1.3.61:

 * fix afslogon.dll to not corrupt memory when High Security mode
   is not used.  

 * fix afsd_service.exe to not attempt to restore the stack when
   an exception occurs.  (not safe in multi-threaded programs)

 * fix uninstaller to properly remove the CRT and MFC DLLs
 
 * remove a Message Box from afscreds.exe when getcellconfig()
   fails on a kerberos realm which is not a cell

The following is a list of changes to the OpenAFS for Window client
since 1.3.60.

 * "fs setserverprefs" will leave afsd service deadlocked

 * "vos listaddrs" will core dump

 * installer sets the appropriate keys to support Integrated Logon

 * installer disables the "Find Lana by Name" functionality as it
   was causing headaches for many users

 * fix the intermittent crash of the power management thread when
   shutting down the AFS Client Service

 * optimizes the obtain drive mount list functionality which is 
   executed every time the mount tab in afscreds.exe and afs_config.exe
   are refreshed.  (this happens a lot)

 * fix the service shutdown logic.  add the STOP_PENDING state
   and do not accept additional service events after we declare
   ourselves STOPPED.

The following is a list of changes to the OpenAFS for Window client
since 1.2.10.

* flexelint was run against the source tree and hundreds (perhaps 
  thousands) of corrections were applied to ensure prototypes 
  were in use; types were used consistently; variables were 
  initialized; unused variables were removed; etc.

* A wide variety of instrumentation was added including the 
  ability to produce a stack trace from within afsd_service.exe
  when it crashes.

* Dynamic configuration of the RDRtimeout value based upon the
  LanMan Workstation Session Timeout

* The mount root no longer needs to be called "/afs".  This 
  is now set by a registry value "MountRoot" within the key
  HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAFSDaemon\Parameters

* The cell list is now only read out of afsdcell.ini when the
  file changes instead of each time a cell is resolved.

* Thread synchronization was added to cm_server.c and ktc_nt.c

* All calls to GlobalAlloc()/GlobalFree() were replaced with 
  calloc()/free().  The Global functions were needed on Windows 3.x
  but have caused a variety of problems on the Win32 platforms.
  Avoiding them is highly recommended by several Microsoft 
  Knowledgebase articles

* Support for Symbolic Links added to the AFS Shell Extension

* Added a registry value "OverlayEnabled" to determine if
  Shell Extension Overlays should be enabled.  
  HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAFSDaemon\Parameters

* New Build system to support VC6, VC.NET, VC.NET2003 compilers and
  separate trees for checked and free builds.  Build system supports
  a custom directory src\WINNT\extra which can be used as a grafting
  location of organization specific additions to the build tree.

* New installer built using NSIS 2.0.  

* Named all kernel objects in order to allow them to be monitored
  with tools such as SysInternals' ProcExp.exe.
  
* Introduced new EventLog framework for AFSD

* Introduced Power Management interface to AFSD for Standby and 
  Hibernate modes to allow cache to be flushed prior to network
  disconnect

* Utilize Win32 DNSQuery API instead of internal routines.  This 
  allows DNS SRV queries to be sent to all current domain name 
  servers.  Not just one specified in an INI file.  DNS is now
  always activated.

* "NetbiosName" registry value may be used to specify a fixed
  Netbios Name such as "AFS" to be used instead of "HOSTNAME-AFS"
  when the loopback adapter is in use.  If you need to use the 
  old notation with a loopback adapter installed specify a registry
  entry of 

     "NetbiosName" REG_EXPAND_SZ = "%COMPUTERNAME%-AFS"

* Refactor all modules which depend on LAN Adapter and NetbiosName
  determination in a new library: lanahelper.lib.  This allows for
  consistent behavior throughout the product.

* Move the afsd.log and afsd_init.log files to the directory specified
  by the "TEMP" environment variable.  This is usually %WINDIR%\TEMP
  for services.  Added the Date to the log entries.

* New registry value "RxMaxMTU" used to limit the size of the RX 
  packets sent by the AFS Client Service to the Server.  In order
  to enable OpenAFS to work across the Cisco IPSec VPN the packet
  size must be restricted to 1264 or smaller.  The latest NSIS
  installer sets a value of 1260 by default.

* New registry value "RxNoJumbo" to disable the use of Jumbo Rx
  packets.  This is not needed in order to work across the Cisco
  VPN but might be needed for other network environments.  This
  value is not set by the NSIS installer.

* New registry value "HideDotFiles" is used to apply the Hidden
  attribute to files whose names begin with a '.'.   This value
  is set by the NSIS installer.

* New registry value "MaxMpxRequests" allows the maximum number
  of multiplexed sessions to be configured at run time.  This
  value is not set by the NSIS installer.  The default value is
  50.

* New registry value "MaxVCPerServer" allows the maxmimum number
  of VCs per server to be configured at run time.  This value is
  not set by the NSIS installer.  The default value is 100.

* New registry value "AllSubmount" allows the "all" submount to
  be disabled by setting its value to 0x00.

* Allow cells names to be valid mount points 
    \\<netbiosName>\<cellname>

* Store the active state of drive mappings in order for afscreds.exe
  to restore them upon startup

* Add exception handling to generate a Stack Trace to the afsd_init.log
  file if one happens to occur.

* Add lots of logging to help detect the cause of invalid SMB packets

* Enable Kerberos for Windows to be used to obtain AFS Tokens via
  conversion of Kerberos 5 "afs" service tickets.  Supports auto-
  renewal of expiring tokens as long as afscreds.exe is running.

* New afscreds.exe command line options:
    -A = autoinit
    -M = renew drive maps
    -N = ip address change detection
    -Z = unmap drives

* New registry value "EnableKFW" in {HKCU,HKLM}SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client 
  determines whether or not MIT Kerberos for Windows should be used
  to obtain tokens via Kerberos 5 tickets.

* New registry value "AfscredsShortcutParams" in 
  {HKCU,HKLM}SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client 
  determines the command line parameters to be specified when "fixing"
  the AFS Shortcut in the user's startup folder.

* The "ShowTrayIcon" registry value has been moved from 
  HKLM\Software\TransarcCorporation\AFS Client\AfsCreds to
  {HKCU,HKLM}SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client 
  
* The <cell name> registry values used to store the token expiration
  reminders have been moved from 
  HKLM\Software\TransarcCorporation\AFS Client\AfsCreds to
  {HKCU,HKLM}SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Reminders
 
* Obtain the Logon User Name from the Explorer key when available

* new text document doc\txt\winnotes\registry.txt lists all registry
  values used by OpenAFS (excluding the AFS Server)

* BUG: rx_securityClass objects were not properly reference 
  counted and were never freed.  

* BUG: reduce the number of conditions under which CM_ERROR_TIMEOUT
  would be generated.  The existence of a server does not imply
  that it is not down.  If all of the servers for a cell are down
  return CM_ERROR_NOSUCHVOLUME instead.  This prevents the Explorer
  Shell from hanging.

* BUG: the directory name lookup cache failed to free the entries
  in the cache when the name cache entries cycled.  The entries
  in the cache would become dereferenced without being freed.

* BUG: fs setserverprefs could be executed without Administrator
  privileges

* BUG: the number of allocated NCB objects (100) exceeded the number
  which could actually be waited upon by the kernel (64).  Any objects
  which were utilized above the limit could never have event completions
  detected.

* BUG: smb_username_t objects were not being reference counted and 
  were not properly freed.

* BUG: smb_tid_t objects could under unusual circumstances be freed
  before they were no longer referenced.

* BUG: smb_fid_t object pointer were frequently used even when 
  their value could be NULL.   They were not properly released and
  therefore they were never freed.

* BUG: smb_packet_t data structures were not completely initialized
  upon creation

* BUG: when Rx produces a CM_ERROR_NOIPC error do not return "Access
  Denied" because that causes the Explorer Shell to try again until
  access is obtained.  Instead return "Remote Resources" which allows 
  the shell to move on and treat the error as transient.

* BUG: when initializing the NCBreturns structure, separate Event objects
  were created for each NCB although a single Event object was supposed
  to be shared by all.

* BUG: smb_dirSearch_t objects were not being properly referenced counted
  or freed.

* BUG: smb_tran2Packet_t objects were not being properly referenced 
  counted or freed.

* BUG: directory path creation did not handle the case of multiple
  directories requiring creation in one attempt

* BUG: SMB requests which required an Extended Response were ignored.
  This prevented some files from being written to AFS volumes.

* BUG: character strings were being freed even after they were 
  inserted into in use data structures

* BUG: inconsistent usernames were used when High Security mode was
  enabled.  (there is still much to do in this area)

* BUG: pioctl() calls which require out of band RPC operations were
  susceptible to race conditions when performed by multiple processes

* BUG: memory allocation and deallocation crossed instances of the
  C Runtime Library producing memory leakage and corruption in 
  afscreds and the client configurator.
