Since 1.3.65:
* afs_config.exe now validates cell names against DNS in addition
to the CellServDB file.
* In order to allow the freelance client to connect to a volume with ID
equal to 1 on the default cell we changed the fake root.afs volume ID
once again. This time we choose 0xFFFFFFFF. In addition, we change
the cell ID of the fake root.afs volume from 1 to 0xFFFFFFFF as well.
It will now be impossible for a volume ID to match that of another
cell unless the client is connected to 0xFFFFFFFD cells. That should
be enough room for growth.
* Fix "fs mkmount" command to work with UNC paths and when
started from non-AFS drives. It is now possible to create a mount
point in the freelance fake root.afs volume with the command
fs mkmount \\AFS\all\<directory-name> <volume-name> <cellname>
For example,
fs mkmount \\AFS\all\openafs.org root.cell openafs.org
fs mkmount \\AFS\all\.openafs.org root.cell openafs.org -rw
* The algorithm used to re-attempt access to the servers associated with
a volume has been altered to properly address the case in which all
servers have been marked down. The previous algorithm did not reset

root.cell volumes have been experiencing problems with accessing
the root.cell volume of their cell when Freelance mode has been
active. This was because 0x20000001 was assigned to the fake
root.afs volume created by freelance. The fake volume id is
now set to 0x00000001 to prevent conflicts.

This should be the end of the "Server paused or restarting messages"

* Add support for arbitrary UNC paths to the pioctl() support.
This enables the fs commands as well as the AFS Shell Extension
to work correctly when UNC paths are being used.
