+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,
* 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.
