Since 1.5.78
[there was no 1.6pre1 for Windows]
* vos commands now manipulate servers by UUID and can
recognize multi-homed servers.
* afs_config will not longer set the Tray Icon State
in the registry if the checkbox is not present in
the dialog. [RT 128591]
* When probing servers to determine if they are up or down
no longer issue an RXAFS_GetTime RPC to servers that indicated
that they do not understand the RXAFS_GetCapabilities RPC.
Since they responded it is known that they are up.
* AFS Explorer Shell Extension now works from folder
backgrounds. Overlays for mount points and symlinks
are present in the dll, but are not registered at present
by the installers.
* Do not use RankServerInterval registry value as the value for
PerformanceTuningInterval.
* CellServDB updated to 13 Dec 2010 release from grand.central.org
* Add "fs chmod" command and display current mode as part
of "fs examine" output.
* When the data version of a mountpoint or symlink changes,
the target string in the cm_scache_t object must be cleared.
Otherwise, the new target will not be queried.
* "fs checkservers" now includes vldb servers in the output
and only lists multi-homed servers once. A multi-homed
server that has at least one up interface is no longer
considered to be down.
* When asynchronously storing dirty data buffers to the
file server ensure that (a) the cm_scache_t object and
the cm_buf_t object are for the same File ID so that
locking and signalling work properly; and (b) if the
FID no longer exists on the file server, do not panic,
just discard the buffer.
* When processing VNOVOL, VMOVED and VOFFLINE errors perform
server comparisons by UUID or address and not simply by
cm_server_t pointer. Otherwise, server failover may not
succeed.
* Do not preserve status information for cm_scache_t objects
when the issuing server is multi-homed.
* Giving up all callbacks when shutting down or suspending
the machine is now significantly faster due to the use
of an rx_multi implementation. (This functionality is
still off by default and must be activated by a registry
value.)
* Race conditions were possible when updating the state
of the cm_volume_t flags and when moving the volumes
within the least recently used list.
* Ensure that the lanahelper library does not perform a
NCBRESET of each lan adapter when enumerating the
current network bindings. Correcting this permits OpenAFS
to work on Windows 7 when the network adapter settings
change.
* Fix creation of mount points and symlinks as \\AFS\xxxx
Since 1.5.77
* Reimplement FetchData and StoreData operations to make
use of rx_Writev and rx_Readv which is faster than than
