+Since 1.3.77:
+ * The variable used to determine whether a file or virtual memory
+ mapped cache is used was not properly initialized to a default
+ value. If the registry setting "NonPersistentCaching" was not
+ set, the choice would be random. Properly initialized to be
+ "file".
+
+ * The memory mapped view was never unmapped before closing the file
+ at service shutdown. This is now properly cleaned up.
+
+ * Default location of Cache file is now %TEMP%\AFSCache
+
+Since 1.3.76:
+
+ * A bug affecting new installations of 1.3.75/76 would result in
+ the creating of incorrect mountpoints in the freelance root.afs
+ volume for the default cell.
+
+ If "fs \\afs\all\<cellname>" lists a volume name of "root" instead
+ of "root.cell", you have been affected by the bug. To correct the
+ problem, execute the following commands:
+
+ fs rmmount \\afs\all\<cellname>
+ fs rmmount \\afs\all\.<cellname>
+
+ fs mkmount \\afs\all\<cellname> root.cell <cellname>
+ fs mkmount \\afs\all\.<cellname> root.cell <cellname> -rw
+
+Since 1.3.75:
+
+ * A bug has been fixed in the auto-generation of Freelance root.afs
+ symlinks which produced random entries in the \\AFS\all directory.
+
+ * Support has been added for multi-homed servers
+
Since 1.3.74:
+ * Added a new registry value, "StoreAnsiFilenames", which can be used
+ to force the use of ANSI character sets instead of OEM Code Pages.
+ This feature is useful when users require the ability to create
+ filenames with 8-bit characters and need to access the files from
+ both Latin-1 based Unix systems as well as from Windows.
+
+ Activation of this feature will prevent access to files stored with
+ 8-bit OEM characters.
+
+ * Shutdown all SMB threads in a synchronized manner when stopping the
+ service.
+
+ * There is currently a maximum cache size of 1.3GB. The limit is imposed
+ by the largest contiguous block of unused memory within the 2GB process
+ space which can be assigned to the memory mapped file. Unfortunately,
+ when the executable digital signature verification code is activated
+ Windows sees fit to further segment the process memory which in turn
+ reduces the size of the maximum cache file to less then 800MB. If
+ larger cache sizes are desired, a new registry value should be set:
+
+ HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client (DWORD) "VerifyServiceSignature" = 0x0
+
+ Setting this value will disable the runtime verification of digital
+ signatures on afsd_service.exe and the afs dlls which it loads. It
+ will not disable the the version number check on those same files.
+ The signature verification is not a security messure and is only meant
+ to enhance the ability to afsd_service.exe to detect potential
+ destablizing mixtures of DLLs from incompatible distributions.
+
+ Added code to auto-disable the signature verification check if
+ the desired cache size is greater then 700MB.
+
+ * Windows' WinTrustVerify(WIN_SPUB_ACTION_PUBLISHED_SOFTWARE) is
+ used to verify the validity of the afsd_service.exe binary
+ as well as each of the AFS DLLs loaded by the service. Not only
+ must the digital signature be valid but the signatures of the
+ DLL must be signed by the same entity as the service.
+
+ * Implement new functions: cm_freelanceMountPointExists and
+ cm_freelanceSymlinkExists. Use them along with other validity
+ checks in cm_freelanceAddMount and cm_freelanceAddSymlink to
+ ensure that name collisions do not occur and that empty strings
+ are not valid file names.
+
+ A symlink may not have a name which would resolve to a valid
+ cell name. Doing so would prevent access to the cell.
+
+ * Add missing cm_HoldSCacheNoLock call to Freelance mount point
+ re-initialization code. The reference counts of the fake root.afs
+ volume scache object(s) would become invalid when the mount point
+ or symlink lists were altered.
+
+ * Add registry entries to provide mappings from the afsdsbmt.ini
+ to the new locations for applications which count on the use
+ of the old Profile file APIs. These apps are likely to fail
+ if the user does not have administrator privileges and the
+ registry is locked down.
+
+ * The afs_config.exe submounts dialog had two errors.
+ First, attempts to remove entries failed because the registry
+ key was being opened without KEY_WRITE privileges.
+ Second, when editing a submount entry, changing the name
+ would add a new key and leave the original one in place.
+ Now the original submount will be removed if its name is
+ changed.
+
+ * In recent months there have been several incidents in which
+ users have experienced problems starting or accessing
+ afsd_service.exe and after significant effort has been spent
+ it has turned out that they have two versions of AFS on the
+ machine or an inconsistent set of DLLs.
+
+ Code has now been added to afsd_service.exe which will walk
+ the list of modules loaded by afsd_service.exe and validate
+ that the version of the AFS DLLs matches the version of the
+ afsd_service.exe executable. If they do not match the service
+ will not start.
+
+ * When Freelance mode is enabled and there is no registry
+ key HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Freelance, afsd_service.exe
+ will attempt to import the afs_freelance.ini file contents.
+ If the file does not exist, it was creating a dummy file
+ with a r/o and r/w entry for the default cell and then
+ importing those values.
+
+ This process has been changed. The temporary file is no
+ longer created. Also, both the OpenAFS Client install
+ directory as well as %WINDIR% are checked for previous
+ afs_freelance.ini files.
+
* Added support for VL_GetEntryByNameN(). Still need to add
support for VL_GetEntryByNameU() for multi-homed support.
