+ modern compilers like gcc9 or recent clang (13727..45 13749..50 13756
+ 13846 13879)
+

+ (13892)
+
+ * Display the usage of simple commands (commands without subcommands) when
+ run only with the -help option (13894)
+
+ * Fix a memory leak in the cache manager and the fileserver while
+ processing "fs uuid" or "fs setcbaddr" (13899)
+
+ * Fix a memory leak when reopening krb local realms configuration (13900)
+
+ * Avoid possible crashes when freeing kerberos contexts (13902)
+
+ All server platforms
+
+ * Do not leave empty directories behind in the file server vice partition
+ when running the "vos zap -force" command (13897)
+
+ * Fix "vos zap -force" failures when the volume being zapped does not have
+ an entry in the fileserver's volume group cache (e.g., during fileserver
+ startup) (13896)
+
+ * Relax the length limits on some membership lists used in ptserver RPCs,
+ introduced in release 1.8.0 to prevent denial of service attacks, to
+ accommodate use cases of some larger existing sites (13844)
+
+ * Improved diagnostics and error messages (13898 13906..8 13938)

+ by members of the system:administrators group (14018 14019)

+ ones (13951) (RT #135041)
+
+ * After a VLDB lookup of a read-write volume already failed, don't bother

+ are bound to fail, in order to make the client more responsive and
+ avoid unnecessary load on the vlserver (13968)

+ * Allow a "vos rename" to succeed if the new volume name is the same as
+ that in the current VLDB, to make it possible to complete a previously
+ interrupted volume rename (14055)
