Openafs News -- history of user Visible changes. 11 July 2001
Openafs News -- history of user Visible changes. September 17, 2001
* Changes since OpenAFS 1.1.1
* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.2.0
** AFS now supports --prefix and the other directory options of
configure. By default AFS builds assuming it will be installed in
/usr/local. In order to get traditional AFS directory paths (/usr/afs
and /usr/vice/etc) use the --enable-transarc-paths option to
configure. More details on the new directory layout are found in README.
* Changes since Openafs 1.0
* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.1.1a
** Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 - Consistent versioning
Installation, AFS Control Center, Client dialog boxes and properties
pages for executables display a consistent OpenAFS version number.
Installation detects previous installation and prompts the user for upgrade
options.
** Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 - Installation features
During installation the user can select the source of the CellservDB file,
AFS home cell, and drive mappings. During installation a drive path
mapping can include a variable that will be substituted with the current
UserName that is logged in.
** Windows 2000/NT - Integrated logon
The Integrated Logon feature works now.
** Windows 95/98/ME - Logon script features
The Windows 95/98/ME client now offers a command-line option for starting up
the AFS client without authenication. It is now possilbe to start the AFS
client first and obtain tokens, and map drives all through Windows scripts.
This helps using Windows 95/98/ME client in Kerberos 5 environment.
** Windows 2000/NT - LANA numbers
AFS client now scans the LANA numbers to establish the correct NETBIOS
connection. NetBEUI is no longer needed. The user no longer needs to find
the correct LANA number.
** Windows 2000/NT - OpenAFS naming consistancy
Further progress has been made to remove references to "Transarc AFS"
and replace with "OpenAFS".
* Changes since OpenAFS 1.0
** AFS now builds with configure. The README for building has been
updated and includes full details.
