+OpenAFS News -- history of user-visible changes. October 19, 2001
-* Changes since Openafs 1.0
+* 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 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.
