+Since 1.4.1 rc4: 1.4.1 rc5 released (20 Jan 2006)
+
+ * Check access permissions to the file before the file is 
+   truncated.
+
+ * More improvements to the handling of SMB Virtual Circuits
+   when SMB sessions are closed.
+
+ * Correct a race condition introduced in rc4 that could result
+   in a crash of afsd_service.exe.
+
+Since 1.4.1 rc3: 1.4.1 rc4 released (11 Jan 2006)
+
+ * Properly handle pre-mature SMB session closures.
+   File handles, tree connections, and user sessions are now
+   freed when the virtual circuit is closed.
+
+ * smb_username_t and smb_user_t objects are now properly reference
+   counted and freed as appropriate.
+
+ * disable to use of AFS file locks.  Byte range locking is still
+   implemented but all locks are managed locally.  This prevents
+   multiple processes from editing the same file on the same 
+   machine but it does prevent multiple processes on separate 
+   machines from modifying the file.
+
+Since 1.4.1 rc2: 1.4.1 RC3 released (4 Jan 2006)
+
+ * A fix to "fs setserverprefs -vlserver".  Multiple calls with
+   the same server parameter would result in a panic condition
+   if the server had not already been contacted by the AFS 
+   client service.
+
+ * Better warnings are written to the afsd.log file when 
+   the Windows RPC Protocols are not properly configured as
+   is often the case on Windows 2000.
+
+ * fix the procmgmt library to restore C RTL signal handlers when 
+   it is being detached from the process prior to process termination.
+
+Since 1.4.1 rc1: 1.4.1 RC2 released (30 Nov 2005)
+
+ * close a lock leak in the rx library that could be triggered while
+   processing aborts
+
+ * prevent removal of drive mappings in response to afscreds.exe -M
+
+ * add logic to process VNOVNODE in cm_Analyze.  Force re-evaluation of symlink
+   strings and flush the stat cache entry.
+
+ * prevent server objects from being freed if user preferences are set.
+
+ * Update WIX support to 2.0.2419.0
+
+ * Release all locks on the server at service shutdown.
+
+ * A down server should be marked up as long as it responds to the client.
+   It doesn't matter if the server returned an error as long as the error
+   is something other than VRESTARTING.         If there is such an error, all
+   connections on that server should be marked for replacement.
+
+ * Change the check "up" servers period from once per hour to once every
+   ten minutes.  This matches the behavior of the Unix cache manager.
+
+Post 1.4.0 revisions: 1.4.1 RC1 released (21 Oct 2005)
+ * Byte Range Locking support has been added.  Architectural documentation
+   is located within src/WINNT/afsd/cm_vnodeops.c.   Best efforts are 
+   made to enforce Windows mandatory locking model using locally managed
+   byte range locks with full file locks obtained from the file server.
+   Read-only volumes provide the user with an implied locking privilege.
+   Read-write volumes require that a user be granted the locking privilege
+   in order for a lock to be obtained.   As most Windows applications use
+   Shared file access modes, they require the ability to obtain locks in
+   order to access files.
+
+ * Implement error translation functions to convert Universal Error Codes
+   output by modern servers to local errno and winsock error values.
+   This fixes the error message problems using pioctl() calls from fs.exe 
+   and the AFS Shell Extension.
