+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.
+
+ * Eric William's IFS redirector has been checked onto the CVS head.
+   This code is experimental at the current time and is not being 
+   incorporated into the 1-4 branch releases.  Instructions for 
+   building from sources are found in the top-level README-NT file.
+
+ * 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.
