(10933) (RT #131819) + + All server platforms + + * Change the default fileserver sync behavior from "delayed" to "onclose". + This means that explicit syncing only happens when a volume is detached. + (10809) + + * Added the -offline-timeout and -offline-shutdown-timeout options to the + fileserver, to implement interrupting clients accessing volumes we are + trying to take offline. (6266 10799) + + All client platforms + + * When a client is shut down, it will give up its callbacks. The Windows + client has been doing this since 2007. Note that older fileservers + (1.3.50 to 1.4.5 and 1.5.0 to 1.5.27) had a bug in the implementation of + the relevant RPC that could cause crashes or other undefined behavior + when this happens. (6272 8840 10855) + + * Restored the pre-1.6 behavior of "vos e" being an alias for "vos examine". + (10886) + + * Avoid flooding logs with warnings about byte-range locks, by throttling + them per file. Also, make the messages more useful by including the + FID. (10836..10839) + + * Avoid a possible panic during shutdown while tracing.
