+New development series 1.5.0 begun (17 Aug 2005)
+
+Since 1.3.87: 1.4.0 rc1 released (17 Aug 2005)
+ * Byte-range locking as described in cm_vnodeops.c has been implemented.
+
+ * When the cache manager reports ALLBUSY or ALLOFFLINE for
+   a resource we should not be returning status codes such
+   as Network Busy or Remote Host Down because these errors
+   will imply that the AFS Client Service is Busy or Down
+   and that is simply not the case.   Instead we will return
+   Bad Network Path as the path is temporarily not available.
+
+   Instead of returning Sharing Paused when there is a
+   timeout error, return Timeout.  Once again, the AFS Client
+   Service is not paused.
+
+ * afscreds.exe would display an Obtain Creds dialog when
+   the expired credentials reminder was triggered even 
+   if there was no network path to the KDC.  This is prevented
+   by adding KDC probe logic to the reminder thread.  
+
+ * afscreds.exe would display expired tokens no differently
+   than unexpired ones.  This would make it difficult for the
+   user to distiguish when the tokens were expired.  For the 
+   English build added a new resource string "(expired) that
+   is displayed instead of the expiration time. 
+
+Since 1.3.86:
+ * "fs wscell" when executed in freelance mode will return the
+   name of the cell configured in the registry.  The root.afs
+   volume is not loaded from this cell, but it is used for the
+   default for aklog and integrated login.
+
+ * "fs mkmount, fs rmmount, symlink make, symlink remove" will
+   no longer work on \\AFS\all when freelance is being used 
+   unless the user is a member of the "AFS Client Admins" Windows
+   Security group.
+
+ * some more checks performed during persistent cache validation.
+
+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.
