+Since 1.3.64:
+ * The timeout logic in the AFS Client Service has been wrong
+ for sometime. It is based on two different assumptions.
+ First, the SMB client timeout is a fix value as was the case
+ with OS/2 Lan Manager. This assumption is incorrect. The
+ SMB timeout in Windows is a dynamic value computed based upon
+ a fixed minimum timeout to which is added time based upon the
+ size of the request and the performance characteristics of
+ the connection. Second, it is the responsibility of the
+ SMB Server to enforce the timeout requirements of the client.
+ This is untrue. The SMB Server cannot be expected to know
+ the requirements of the client. More importantly, if the
+ SMB server uses the SMB client timeout as a value to restrict
+ its behavior as an RX client, the performance characteristics
+ of the local SMB session would be used to prematurely terminate
+ WAN connections with significantly different performance
+ characteristics.
+
+ The timeout logic has therefore been modified in the following
+ manner:
+ . the Lan Manager Workstation (SMB) Session Timeout is used only
+ as a basis for configuring the Connection Dead Timeout
+ and Hard Dead Timeout values. The Connection Dead Timeout
+ must be at least 15 seconds longer than the SMB Timeout
+ and the Hard Dead Timeout must be at least double the
+ Connection Dead Timeout.
+ . New registry entries have been added to allow the Connection
+ Dead Timeout and Hard Dead Timeout values independent of the
+ Lan Manager Workstation Session Timeout
+ . The test to enforce the SMB Client Timeout has been removed.
+
+ One of the side-effects of removing the enforcement of the SMB
+ Client Timeout is that regardless of whether or not the SMB client
+ is available to receive the response (and how would the SMB server
+ know) the RX protocol response can be used to update the AFS
+ Client Service state for ready access by future SMB client
+ requests.
+
+ This should be the end of the "Server paused or restarting messages"
+
+ * Fix "fs mkmount" command to work with UNC paths and when
+ started from non-AFS drives
+
+ * Add support for arbitrary UNC paths to the pioctl() support.
+ This enables the fs commands as well as the AFS Shell Extension
+ to work correctly when UNC paths are being used.
+
+ * Fix afscreds.exe (by updating afskfw.lib) to search for cells via
+ DNS if the cell configuration cannot be determined via CellServDB
+
+ * Add debug info to test whether CM_BUF_WAITING or CM_SCACHE_WAITING
+ are ever set more than once at a time
+
+ * Fix the management of lists of cm_cell_t structures when using
+ DNS to lookup cell information. The previous code would fail to
+ reuse the same cellID for a cell if DNS was used more than once
+ for a given cell name. When the ttl expired, a single cm_cell_t
+ could be inserted into the cm_allCellsp list more than once
+ producing a loop. In addition, the vlServerp list belonging to
+ the cell was not freed resulting in improper refCounting of the
+ servers.
+
+ * Add DNS support to cm_IoctlNewCell() which previous only examined
+ the CellServDB file
+
+ * Add cm_FreeServer() function and call it from cm_FreeServerList()
+ to properly garbage collect cm_server_t objects
+
+ * Add numVCs variable to smb.c to track the number of smb_vc_t
+ objects created and use it to initialize the vcID field which
+ previously was set to 0 in all objects resulting in FindByID
+ collisions.
+
+ * Fixed DNS lookups to work consistently throughout the OpenAFS
+ product instead of just from within the afsd_service.exe
+
+ * Added a runtime check to ensure that AFS Client Service SMB
+ Server is accepting connections before attempting to mount
+ global drives.
+
+ * Read IP addresses for volume servers out of the CellServDB
+ file if gethostbyname() on the hostname fails.
+
+ * Fix getcellconfig() to populate both the Hostnames as well
+ as IP addresses when loading cell data via DNS
+
+ * Increase the Connection Dead Time to 50 from 20 seconds
+ Increase the Hard Dead Time to 120 from 40 seconds
+ (matches the Unix values)
+
+ * Fixed an assertion validating the number of allocated NCBs
+
+ * Fixed the build environment to consistently build for
+ Windows 2000 and above. (APPVER = 5.0)
+
+ * Fixed rx_debug to properly validate the receipt in incoming
+ data with select() and recvfrom(). Do not copy data out of
+ the socket buffer unless success is indicated.
+
Since 1.3.63:
* afsd_service.exe will now display a message box to the
desktop when it terminates due to an IP Address Change.
