+OpenAFS News -- history of user-visible changes. October 19, 2001
+
+* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.3
+
+** 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 1.2.5
+
+** 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.
