+
+All systems:

+- Avoid fileserver looping problem while clearing
+  callbacks.
+- Added config script for afsweb for Netscape web server.
+- Avoid coredump in ptserver by checking return value of malloc().  
+- Clients allocates correct string size when creating symlinks and
+  files.  
+- Logfiles more consistant about referring to hosts in a IP
+  adress:port number format, rather than a memory address or hex IP.
+- Converted vcache casting in cache manager to macros, to ease future changes.
+- Avoid kernel panic when dynroot and memcache are used simultaneously.
+- General enhancements to test suite, including a functioning Solaris port.
+
+Solaris:

+- Use autoconf to check for p_corefile in struct proc, rather than
+  assuming it exists in Solaris 7 and later.
+- NFS translator functionality now compiles; might even work.
+- Don't update timestamps on unallocated inodes.
+- Don't spawn seperate kernel thread for rx listener, use afsd fork
+  instead.  Avoids use of deprecated newproc() function.

+
+Linux:
+- File creation works again for clients using Linux 2.2.x series
+  kernels.
+- memcache now works on clients using Linux 2.4.x series kernels.
