User-Visible OpenAFS Changes
+OpenAFS 1.9.0
+
+ All platforms
+
+ Introduce the rxgk Rx security class, initially limited to server-to-server
+ traffic and local keys (gerrit topic: rxgk-phase1).
+
+ Add options to the vos and pts commands for server-to-server rxgk support.
+
+ Add support to add and delete rxgk keys with asetkey. Add support to
+ generate random keys with asetkey, which can be useful to create certain
+ types of rxgk keys.
+
+ Raise implementation-defined anti-DoS length limits for prdb-related XDR
+ array types, which were being reached at some sites (13838).
+
+ Bring "-setpag" functionality in klog to parity with aklog (14146).
+
+ Fix potential Rx hang when an incoming call must wait (14158).
+
+ Do not leave empty directories behind in the file server vice partition
+ when running the "vos zap -force" command (12879, 12839).
+
+ Make non-verbose "vos remsite" output output more readable (14127).
+
+ Display the usage of simple commands (commands without subcommands) when run
+ only with the -help option (10983).
+

+
+ Improve logging and diagnostic messages:
+ * Add a warning message to vos when performing an incremental volume
+ restore over an existing volume which is newer than the dump
+ volume (13251)
+ * Log the binding address and port during startup in the cache manager and
+ all of the server processes (13272)
+ * Improve volume server logging to provide better information during
+ volume restore failures (13252)
+ * Improved cache manager syslog tracing (11858)
+ * Improved database server logging to log important messages at the
+ default logging level, log information during database synchronizations,
+ and log diagnostic messages during recovery aborts (12617, 13079, 12618)
+ * Set a thread name for rx listener threads (13600)
+ * Avoid truncating authentication information in vlserver log
+ messages (13466)
+ * Log when ubik recovery aborts a running remote transaction (13862).
+

+
+ Fix issues resulting in parallel "make install" to fail (13786, 14137).
+
+ Updated libauth test program (13394).
+
+ General code cleanup; remove unused code or obsolete code, old comments,
+ or refactor for clarity
+ (12988, 13204, 13209, 13210, 13213, 13226, 13227, 13260, 13271, 13277,

+ 13357, 13360, 13387, 13419, 13594, 13652).
+
+ All server platforms
+
+ Improve database server logging by logging messages when and why a server
+ is marked as down (12616).
+
+ Log a warning message when starting server processes with no encryption
+ keys available (13911).
+
+ Remove redundant lseek system calls and use positional I/O in the database

+
+ Fix an edge case where writes were errneously allowed on readonly
+ fileservers (13934).
+
+ Add an option to allow members of system:administrators to perform
+ write operations on otherwise readonly fileservers (13707).
+
+ Allow "vos rename" to be re-run to finish a previously interrupted
+ volume rename operation (13720).
+
+ Take volumes offline during convertROtoRW operations, since volume access
+ during the conversion can leave it in an inconsistent state (14066).
+
+ Do not overwrite the errno variable when logging certain database sendfile
+ errors (13263).
+
+ Code migration to POSIX Threads (pthreads) from LWP.
+ * Convert upserver and upclient to pthreads (12754)
+ * Convert xstat libraries and related utilities to pthreads (12745, 12746,

+
+ All client platforms
+
+ Attempt to detect and report some common types of cache corruption
+ (13436, 13747, 13969, 14002).

+ encryption types, which are being removed from krb5 distributions (13689).
+
+ Fix incorrect informational messages when the AFSCELL environment
+ variable is set (13371).
+
+ Fix reading entries of historic vldb formats (13465).
+
+ Linux
+
+ Be more careful about overriding the current credentials for operations
+ on cache files, preventing spurious permission errors when systems like
+ AppArmor and SELinux are in use (13751, 14098).
+
+ Avoid panics from procfs when the kernel module is loaded but afsd is
+ not running (14093).
+
+ Improve ppc64le support (13980, 14046).
+
+ MacOS
+
+ Simplify background-move return-code processing (13280).

+
+ Solaris
+
+ Remove references to (unspported) SunOS 4 (13506).
+
+ Build system fixes for parallel make on Solaris.
+
+ Support function attributes when building with recent versions of Solaris
+ compilers.
+
+ Fix many (but not all) of the compiler warnings when building on the Solaris
+ platform.
+
+ Add autoconf support for Studio 12.6 tools (13867).
+
+ FreeBSD
+
+ General improvements to VFS compliance.
+
+ Create destination kernel module directory when installing on
+ FreeBSD (13653, 13690)).
+
+ Add param.h files and sysnames for FreeBSD 11.2 (13534) and 11.3 (13792).
+
+ Fix fcntl-style locks by adapting to quirky historical behavior (12579).
+
+ Support kernels that use VIMAGE support at runtime, not just at
+ build-time (12580).
+
+ Change LWP stack strategy to avoid SIGBUS errors (13691).
+
+ Skip SIGBUS test (for reasons unrelated to the previous) (14145).
+

(These runtime options override the use of UID-based PAGs, which were
introduced to appease the CDE screensaver.)
