 * Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.3
 
+** When fakestat is enabled on MacOSX, the Finder can be used to browse
+   a fully-populated /afs directory.  However, this precludes reliable
+   use of entire volumes as MacOS bundles (i.e. containing a Contents
+   directory in the root of the volume).
+
 ** Mountpoint directory information can be faked by the cache manager,
    making operations such as stat'ing all cells under /afs much faster.
    This is enabled by passing -fakestat to afsd, but might not be stable
    on all platforms.
 
+* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.2.7
+
+** MacOS X 10.2 is now supported.  FreeBSD 4.3 and later support is included
+   in this release, but is still under active development and should only
+   be used by those doing active development on the OpenAFS FreeBSD client.
+
+** When fakestat is enabled on MacOSX, the Finder can be used to browse
+   a fully-populated /afs directory.  However, this precludes reliable
+   use of entire volumes as MacOS bundles (i.e. containing a Contents
+   directory in the root of the volume).
+
+** The fileserver will now use Rx pings to determine if clients are reachable
+   prior to allocating resources to them, to prevent asymmetric clients from
+   consuming all fileserver resources.
+
+* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.2.6
+
+** Mountpoint directory information can be faked by the cache manager,
+   making operations such as stat'ing all cells under /afs much faster.
+   This is enabled by passing -fakestat to afsd.
+
+** Solaris 9 FCS and Solaris 7 and 8 x86 are now supported.
+
+* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.2.5
+
+** A remote denial of service attack in the AIX and IRIX clients has
+   been fixed.  Users of those platforms are strongly encouraged to
+   upgrade.
+
+** Fixed race conditions in fileserver that could result in crash.
+
+* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.2.4
+
+** Server logfiles now more consistant about format in which hosts are
+   referred to.
+
+** vfsck on Solaris will now allow force runs (using -y flag) even if old 
+   inodes exist.
+
 * Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.2.3
 
 ** Cell aliases for dynroot can be specified in the CellAlias file in
