+ OpenAFS Release Notes - Version 1.4.1
+ _________________________________________________________________
+All systems: Major bugfixes.
+New systems: MacOS 10.4 (PowerPC and Intel)
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+* Bugfixes:
+
+All systems:
+
+- Several race conditions in the host tracking and handling in the fileserver
+ which could cause inconsistent behavior and crashes have been fixed.
+
+- A fileserver bug where a reference to a volume could be leaked and later
+ cause a deadlock as a result of a bulk status call
+
+- Reference counting of fileserver objects in unsigned 32 bit integers
+ instead of signed 16 bit integers.
+
+- Avoid type mismatches when handling time values (betweemn 32 bit and 64 bit
+ variables).
+
+- Fix a memory leak during multilevel packet queue handling.
+
+- Audit log output had been updated to include FIDs for newly created files.
+
+HP-UX 11i:
+
+- 64 bit (large file) inodes are supported.
+
+- Salvager will now handle large (>4gb) partitions.
+
+* New features:
+
+All systems:
+
+- asetkey is now included to ease Kerberos 5 integration for server
+ administrators.
+
+- A new fileserver statistics collection including callback statistics was
+ added.
+
+- man pages are now generated.
+
+Microsoft Windows:
+
+- Fixes error message problems experienced by fs.exe and the AFS Explorer
+ Shell Extensions related to the use of Universal Error Codes by the
+ AFS File Server
+
+- Adds full SMB/CIFS support for byte range locking. In this implementation
+ all locks are allocated locally and the AFS lock privilege is ignored.
+ While this will not prevent two processes on different machines from
+ simultaneously writing to the same file, it will prevent two processes
+ on the same machine from doing so.
+
+- The UP server check period has been reduced to once every ten minutes to
+ match the period used by the UNIX clients. The shorter period will
+ assist clients maintain RX connections through NATs.
+
+- Fixes the DOWN server check logic to ensure that any server that responds
+ to a check is marked UP unless it is in the process of restarting.
+
+- Add logic to better handle objects that no longer exist on the file server.
+ (VNOVNODE errors.)
+
+- Prevent the removal of existing drive mappings by "afscreds.exe -M"
+
+- Fixes the procmgmt library so that it doesn't cause applications that
+ unload it to crash.
+
+- Improves the warnings written to the afsd_init.log file when the
+ Windows RPC Protocol drivers are improperly configured.
+
+- Fixes "fs setserverprefs -vlserver". Multiple calls with the same
+ server parameter could result in a crash of afsd_service.exe.
+
+- The SMB/CIFS layer was audited for reference miscounts and memory leaks.
+ All SMB objects are now properly counted, locked, and released when
+ their work is done.
+
+- Prevent file truncation of the user does not have the appropriate access.
+
+- Token management was re-written to allow user tokens to be preserved
+ during integrated login and freed after logoff is complete.
+
+- Added a mechanism by which abandoned SMB virtual circuits can be
+ detected and the associated resources cleaned up.
+
+- Prevent the allocation of SMB file handles with a value of 0 or 0xFFFF
+ which would be considered invalid by Windows applications.
+
+- Fixed the processing of cell names to ensure that they are always
+ treated as case insensitive strings.
+
+- Fixed the network provider code to avoid querying the profile location
+ if integrated login is disabled.
+
+- If a mount point string is empty, return Path Not Found to the application.
+
+- Windows returns WSAECONNRESET when an ICMP packet is received in response
+ to a transmitted UDP packet that cannot be delivered. Do not mark the
+ connection as bad but instead retry the request.
+
+- Fix the data written to the registry as part of the BackConnectionHostnames
+ values.
+
+- Fixed the rx-lwp implementation to always generate unique rx call
+ identitiers.
+
+- The default "fs minidump" type now includes data segments.
+
+

+ _________________________________________________________________
+All systems: Major bugfixes.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+* Bugfixes:
+
+All systems:
+
+- fileserver host tracking code had a missing lock on a host structure;
+ that lock has been added.
+
+- fileserver handling for clients which are giving up callbacks did not
+ hold a lock, making it unsafe and allowing clients to potentially
+ crash the server by racing.
+
+- fileserver will now leave a corefile when it is doing a shutdown due
+ to error conditions.
+
+- fileserver again allows ufs as a valid filesystem type (regression in 1.4.5).
+
+- cbd handler for fileserver status data has an interpretation error which
+ could cause crashes corrected.
+
+- fileserver accurately tracks number of callbacks on a given file.
