+OpenAFS News -- history of user-visible changes. October 13, 2001
-* Changes since Openafs 1.0
+* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.2.2
+
+** Solaris 9 and Linux PA-RISC are now supported
+
+** fileserver will not erroneously delay legitimate errors for 3 seconds
+ after 10 errors are returned (e.g. stat() on a directory you can't read)
+
+** Rx MTU calculation now works for Irix, Solaris and Linux
+
+** If afsd is started with the -dynroot flag, /afs will be locally
+ generated from the CellServDB. AFSDB cells will be mounted
+ automatically upon access.
+
+** The namei fileserver allows vice "partitions" to be directories instead
+ of partitions and will attach and display accordingly. Creating the file
+ "AlwaysAttach" in the /vicepX directory is used as the trigger to attach it.
+
+** TSM support for butc no longer requires editing a Makefile, simply
+ specify the --enable-tivoli-tsm configure option.
+
+** Linux builds no longer require source changes every time the kernel
+ inode structure changes; the OpenAFS sources will now configure
+ itself to the actual inode structure as defined in the kernel
+ sources.
+
+* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.2.1
+
+** vfsck on Digital UNIX and Solaris will now refuse to fsck mounted
+ mounted partitions.
+
+* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.2.0
+
+** AFS now supports --prefix and the other directory options of
+ configure. By default AFS builds assuming it will be installed in
+ /usr/local. In order to get traditional AFS directory paths (/usr/afs
+ and /usr/vice/etc) use the --enable-transarc-paths option to
+ configure. More details on the new directory layout are found in README.
+
+* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.1.1a
+
+** Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 - Consistent versioning
+ Installation, AFS Control Center, Client dialog boxes and properties
+ pages for executables display a consistent OpenAFS version number.
+ Installation detects previous installation and prompts the user for upgrade
+ options.
+
+** Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 - Installation features
+ During installation the user can select the source of the CellservDB file,
+ AFS home cell, and drive mappings. During installation a drive path
+ mapping can include a variable that will be substituted with the current
+ UserName that is logged in.
+
+** Windows 2000/NT - Integrated logon
+ The Integrated Logon feature works now.
+
+** Windows 95/98/ME - Logon script features
+ The Windows 95/98/ME client now offers a command-line option for starting up
+ the AFS client without authenication. It is now possilbe to start the AFS
+ client first and obtain tokens, and map drives all through Windows scripts.
+ This helps using Windows 95/98/ME client in Kerberos 5 environment.
+
+** Windows 2000/NT - LANA numbers
+ AFS client now scans the LANA numbers to establish the correct NETBIOS
+ connection. NetBEUI is no longer needed. The user no longer needs to find
+ the correct LANA number.
+
+** Windows 2000/NT - OpenAFS naming consistancy
+ Further progress has been made to remove references to "Transarc AFS"
+ and replace with "OpenAFS".
+
+
+
+* Changes since OpenAFS 1.0
** AFS now builds with configure. The README for building has been
updated and includes full details.
install directory. These commands include klog, unlog, tokens, kpasswd,
symlink, fs and pts. The installable includes a readme file that contains
more information on how to use the client program and known issues.
+
+** support for large caches in afsd. Cachefiles are stored in
+ subdirectories. The default is 2048 files per subdirectory, which
+ should work fine in most situations. You can use the new afsd
+ option -files_per_subdir to change this number. Note that the first
+ time you run afsd with this patch, your cachefiles will get moved
+ into subdirectories. If you subsequently run an older version of
+ afsd, you will lose all your cached files.
