User-Visible OpenAFS Changes
OpenAFS 1.6.18.2
Linux clients
* Support for mainline kernel 4.6 and distribution kernels with
backports from it (12332)
* Switch back to the pre-1.6.18 algorithm for freeing unused vcaches.
While the new algorithm is still believed to be correct, it turned
out that at least on some kernels, including 4.5 and 4.6, the dentry
for the current working directory may be erroneously invalidated.
This could lead to errors like "Unable to read current working directory"
when a directory wasn't accessed for a few minutes. (12323)
* Use a secure URL to retrieve the CellServDB in the script to create
the Red Hat source package (12330)
FreeBSD
* Added sysname IDs for 10.2 and 10.3 to fix the build on those platforms
(12322)
