                        User-Visible OpenAFS Changes
 
+OpenAFS 1.6.0 (in progress)
+
+  All platforms
+
+    * vos now properly deals with matching sites when servers are
+      multihomed.
+
+    * Don't stop Rx keepalives after an ackall is received, avoiding
+      spurious connection timeouts. (128848)
+
+    * Don't retry Rx calls on channels returning busy errors. (128671)
+
+    * Properly enable Rx connection hard timeouts.
+
+    * Initialize rx_multi lock before use.
+
+    * Avoid spurious crashes when initializing in "backup" client.
+
+  All server platforms
+
+    * Fix ptserver supergroups support on 64 bit platforms.
+
+    * Demand attach salvaging doesn't use freed volume pointers.
+
+    * Properly hold host lock during host enumeration in fileserver.
+
+    * Attempt to recovery more quickly from timed out volume release
+      transactions.
+
+    * Auditing now properly byte order swaps IP addresses when printing.
+
+    * vos split now has improved error handling.
+
+    * Many changes to again support Windows fileservers.
+
+    * During volume removal, data removal speed improved.
+
+    * Improve CPU utilization during volume attaching by DAFS.
+
+    * In salvager check-only mode, avoid potentially fixing a vnode.
+
+    * Fix support for large (greater than 2gb) volume special files.
+
+    * Salvager will not crash if multiple or bad volume link tables are
+      encountered.
+
+    * Avoid erroneous full dump by remembering which sites were out of
+      date at the start of the release.
+
+  Microsoft Windows:
+
+    * afs_config will not longer set the Tray Icon State in the registry
+      if the checkbox is not present in the dialog. (128591)
+
+    * AFS Explorer Shell Extension now works from folder backgrounds.
+      Overlays for mount points and symlinks are present in the dll, but
+      are not registered at present by the installers.
+
+    * Do not use RankServerInterval registry value as the value for
+      PerformanceTuningInterval.
+
+    * When the data version of a mountpoint or symlink changes, the target
+      string in the cm_scache_t object must be cleared.
+
+    * "fs checkservers" now includes vldb servers in the output and only
+      lists multi-homed servers once.  A multi-homed server that has at
+      least one up interface is no longer considered to be down.
+
+    * When asynchronously storing dirty data buffers to the file server
+      ensure that (a) the cm_scache_t object and the cm_buf_t object are
+      for the same File ID so that locking and signalling work properly;
+      and (b) if the FID no longer exists on the file server, do not
+      panic, just discard the buffer.
+
+    * When processing VNOVOL, VMOVED and VOFFLINE errors perform server
+      comparisons by UUID or address and not simply by cm_server_t
+      pointer.  Otherwise, server failover may not succeed.
+
+    * Do not preserve status information for cm_scache_t objects when the
+      issuing server is multi-homed.
+
+    * Giving up all callbacks when shutting down or suspending the machine
+      is now significantly faster due to the use of an rx_multi
+      implementation.  (This functionality is still off by default and
+      must be activated by a registry value.)
+
+    * Race conditions were possible when updating the state of the
+      cm_volume_t flags and when moving the volumes within the least
+      recently used list.
+
+    * Ensure that the lanahelper library does not perform a NCBRESET of
+      each lan adapter when enumerating the current network bindings.
+      Correcting this permits OpenAFS to work on Windows 7 when the
+      network adapter settings change.
+
+    * Fix creation of mount points and symlinks as \\AFS\xxxx
+
+  All UNIX client platforms
+
+    * Servers now marked down when GetCapabilities returns error.
+
+    * In-use vcache count is now properly tracked.
+
+    * Check for /afs existance before starting, unless -nomount is
+      specified.
+
+    * Avoid a potential panic when using /afs/.:mount syntax.
+
+    * Avoid a panic in memcache mode due to missing CellItems file.
+
+  FreeBSD
+
+    * Fix socket termination on shutdown.
+
+    * Support for 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and 8.2 included.
+
+    * References to vcaches are no longer leaked during root or reclaim.
+
+    * Remove support for "Giant" lock as we no longer need to use it.
+
+    * Don't sleep with AFS GLOCK.
+
+    * Properly enable 64 bit long long support.
+
+    * Restore support for FreeBSD 7 (128612)
+
+    * Fix locking issues at shutdown.
+
+  Linux
+
+    * Support through kernel 2.6.38.
+
+    * Red Hat init script allows deferring for a new binary restart.
+
+    * Red Hat packaging now properly supports RHEL6.
+

+
+    * Properly handle 0-length replies during cache bypass operations.
+
+    * Properly handle non-contiguous readpage cache bypass operations.
+
+    * Do proper locking when transitioning to or from cache bypass.
+
+    * Avoid extra runs of vcache freeing routine. (128756)
+
+  MacOS
+
+    * Properly handle setpag errors.  PAGs are not supported.
+
+    * Check for unloaded kernel extensions when decoding AFS panics.
+
+    * Disable "get tokens at login" in prefs pane if AD authentication
+      plugin is configured.
+
+  OpenBSD
+
+    * Bug fixes for issues introduced previously in 1.5 series.
+
+    * Support through OpenBSD 4.8.
+
+  Solaris
+
+    * Switch to ioctl() syscall replacement for Solaris 11 since syscall
+      65 is not safe.
+
+    * Fix support for Solaris pre-10.
+
+
+OpenAFS 1.5.78 (2010-11-04)
+
+  All platforms
+
+    * Revisions to Rx to fix performance issues.
+
+    * Make fs getfid behave consistently across all platforms. (128372)
+
+    * Properly check IDs handed to pts when creating users or groups so
+      useful error messages can be provided. (128343)
+
+    * Correct byte order handling of port in afsconf_LookupServer for SRV
+      records.
+
+    * Force a full dump when releasing to a site which was previously
+      marked "don't use", in case the previous clone was out of date.
+
+  All server platforms
+
+    * Demand salvage of attached volumes now correctly track attachment
+      state.
+
+    * Avoid a potential crash due to failure to hold a lock when attaching
+      a volume fails.
+
+  Microsoft Windows
+
+    * Track SMB connections by SID rather than username.
+
+    * Error write attempts to known-readonly volumes earlier.
+
+    * Validate directory buffers to avoid potential crashes.
+
+    * Handle VIO errors from bulkstatus.
