-Since 1.3.87:
+Since 1.4.0 rc2: 1.4.0 rc3 released (4 Sep 2005)
+
+ * add support for '/' instead of '\' in pioctl() calls
+
+ * Apply AFS Client Admins group protect to AFS Shell Extension
+
+ * Add support for \\afs\<name> to most AFS Shell Extension 
+   commands except the symlink methods. 
+
+ * when installing the Microsoft Loopback Adapter, enable
+   MS Client for Networks and prevent an install failure 
+   by not calling CoInitialize twice in the same thread.
+
+ * reload cell vldb values from the CellServDB every two
+   hours in case it changes
+
+ * When updating cell information from DNS, be sure to set 
+   a new timeout.
+
+ * Add support to allow use of \\AFS\<foo> where <foo> is 
+   either a mount point or symlink.   As <foo> is normally 
+   treated as a share name, we transform it into \\AFS\all\<foo> 
+   for processing.
+
+ * Init 'code' to prevent false errors when integrated logon 
+   is disabled and the service is not running
+
+Since 1.4.0 rc1: 1.4.0 rc2 released (28 Aug 2005)
+
+ * Removed trace log messages that were hampering performance.
+
+ * Fixed a deadlock that was being triggered by editing Word 
+   documents stored within AFS with WinWord 2003.
+
+ * Bit 3 of the TraceOption registry value is now used to set the
+   default for "fs trace" in the non-Debug builds.  The new default
+   is off for release builds and on for debug builds.
+
+ * Bit 2 of the TraceOption registry value can be used to turn on
+   real-time output of debug log entries to the Windows Debug
+   Output monitor interface.  This data can be viewed with tools
+   such as Sysinternal's DbgView.
+
+New development series 1.5.0 begun (17 Aug 2005)
+
+Since 1.3.87: 1.4.0 rc1 released (17 Aug 2005)
+ * Byte-range locking as described in cm_vnodeops.c has been implemented.
+
+ * When the cache manager reports ALLBUSY or ALLOFFLINE for
+   a resource we should not be returning status codes such
+   as Network Busy or Remote Host Down because these errors
+   will imply that the AFS Client Service is Busy or Down
+   and that is simply not the case.   Instead we will return
+   Bad Network Path as the path is temporarily not available.
+
+   Instead of returning Sharing Paused when there is a
+   timeout error, return Timeout.  Once again, the AFS Client
+   Service is not paused.
+
  * afscreds.exe would display an Obtain Creds dialog when
    the expired credentials reminder was triggered even 
    if there was no network path to the KDC.  This is prevented
