October 13, 2001 +OpenAFS News -- history of user-visible changes. + +* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.3 + +** -nosettime is now the default for afsd. Use "-settime" to get the + old behavior. + +** OpenBSD is now supported. + +** Mountpoint directory information is now only faked for cross-cell + mountpoints when using the -fakestat flag (e.g. for the directories + under /afs, but not for most other volumes mounted inside the cell). + The -fakestat-all switch can be used to fake information for all + mountpoints. + +** 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 1.2.9 + +** The kaserver now defaults to not allowing interrealm authentication, + due to security vulnerabilities in the krb4 protocol. The new + "-crossrealm" flag to the kaserver is provided to reenable interrealm + authentication if desired. + +** RedHat Linux 9.0 is now supported. + +** Solaris 9 12/02 is now supported. Solaris 7 and 8 x86 should now + work again. + +** On Linux machines using 2.2 series kernels, 2.2.19 or higher is now + required. + +** An OpenAFS 1.2.9 afsd will not work with kernel modules built from + an earlier OpenAFS release. In general, using a mismatched afsd and + kernel modules set is unsupported; it is not recommended that you use + such a configuration on a regular basis. + +* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.2.8 + +** Mountpoint directory information is now only faked for cross-cell + mountpoits when using the -fakestat flag (e.g. for the directories + under /afs, but not for most other volumes mounted inside the cell). + The -fakestat-all switch can be used to fake information for all + mountpoints. + +** HPUX 11.0 is now supported. + +** It is now possible for AFS to use Kerberos 5 directly, via rxkad 2b. + See the OpenAFS 1.2.8 Release Notes for more information on using this + capability. + +** An NFS translator kernel module is now included and compiled by default + for Solaris only. + +* 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 + /usr/vice/etc or /usr/local/etc/openafs, in format "realname alias", + one per line. They can also be managed at runtime with "fs newalias" + and "fs listaliases". * Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.2.2
