+OpenAFS News -- history of user-visible changes.
-* Changes since OpenAFS 1.1.1
+* 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
+
+** Solaris 9 and Linux PA-RISC are now supported
+
+** fileserver will not erroneously delay legitimate errors for 3 seconds
+ after 10 errors are returned (e.g. stat() on a directory you can't read)
+
+** Rx MTU calculation now works for Irix, Solaris and Linux
+
+** If afsd is started with the -dynroot flag, /afs will be locally
+ generated from the CellServDB. AFSDB cells will be mounted
+ automatically upon access.
+
+** The namei fileserver allows vice "partitions" to be directories instead
+ of partitions and will attach and display accordingly. Creating the file
+ "AlwaysAttach" in the /vicepX directory is used as the trigger to attach it.
+
+** TSM support for butc no longer requires editing a Makefile, simply
+ specify the --enable-tivoli-tsm configure option.
+
+** Linux builds no longer require source changes every time the kernel
+ inode structure changes; the OpenAFS sources will now configure
+ itself to the actual inode structure as defined in the kernel
+ sources.
+
+* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.2.1
+
+** vfsck on Digital UNIX and Solaris will now refuse to fsck mounted
+ mounted partitions.
+
+* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.2.0
** AFS now supports --prefix and the other directory options of
configure. By default AFS builds assuming it will be installed in
/usr/local. In order to get traditional AFS directory paths (/usr/afs
and /usr/vice/etc) use the --enable-transarc-paths option to
-configure. More details on the new directory layout are found in README.

-* Changes since Openafs 1.0
+ configure. More details on the new directory layout are found in README.
+
+* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.1.1a
+
+** Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 - Consistent versioning
+ Installation, AFS Control Center, Client dialog boxes and properties
+ pages for executables display a consistent OpenAFS version number.
+ Installation detects previous installation and prompts the user for upgrade
+ options.
+
+** Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 - Installation features
+ During installation the user can select the source of the CellservDB file,
+ AFS home cell, and drive mappings. During installation a drive path
+ mapping can include a variable that will be substituted with the current
+ UserName that is logged in.
+
+** Windows 2000/NT - Integrated logon
+ The Integrated Logon feature works now.
+
+** Windows 95/98/ME - Logon script features
+ The Windows 95/98/ME client now offers a command-line option for starting up
+ the AFS client without authenication. It is now possilbe to start the AFS
+ client first and obtain tokens, and map drives all through Windows scripts.
+ This helps using Windows 95/98/ME client in Kerberos 5 environment.
+
+** Windows 2000/NT - LANA numbers
+ AFS client now scans the LANA numbers to establish the correct NETBIOS
+ connection. NetBEUI is no longer needed. The user no longer needs to find
+ the correct LANA number.
+
+** Windows 2000/NT - OpenAFS naming consistancy
+ Further progress has been made to remove references to "Transarc AFS"
+ and replace with "OpenAFS".
+
+
+
+* Changes since OpenAFS 1.0
** AFS now builds with configure. The README for building has been
updated and includes full details.
