This delta provides a fairly complete implementation of Unicode character
set support for the Windows Cache Manager and supporting tools including
fs.exe, symlink.exe, the pioctl library, and the explorer shell extension.
New Build requirements:
In order to build the Microsoft IDN Mitigation APIs SDK 1.1 is now required.
This SDK provides the normalization.h header and the redistribution
install packages required to install normaliz.dll. The AFSDEV_INCLUDE
path must be modified to point to the directory containing normalization.h.
There are no lib files for this package.
Cache Manager:
The CM SMB server has been modified to negotiate the use of UNICODE.
By default it is on. The "fs smbunicode" command can be used to disable
UNICODE at runtime.
cm_utils now contains UNICODE normalization and conversion routines built
on top of the IDN Mitigation APIs.
All input strings are normalized with UNICODE Normalization Form C.
The pioctl interface now supports UTF8 strings in addition to ANSI.
UTF8 strings are prefixed with <ESC> % 8 as per the ISO 2022 extension.
Pioctl Library:
New apps should use the pioctl_utf8() function instead of pioctl().
pioctl() is for ANSI strings and provides backward compatibility
with third party apps.
fs.exe and symlink.exe:
Converted to Unicode applications. All strings are now communicated
using UTF-8.
Explorer Shell Extension:
Converted to a Unicode DLL. All strings are now communicated using
UTF-8. Fonts on U.S. Windows distributions are not fully populated.
As a result not all of the characters can be displayed in all of the
dialog boxes.
Still to do:
1. Add Unicode normalization to AFS directory entries and mountpoint
and symlink target strings.
2. Use the Unicode version of GetCurrentDirectory in fs_utils.c
3. Update the installers to install the IDN Mitigation APIs on XP
and 2003. Vista already has them and they are not supported on
pre XP SP2 releases.
the VC++ 2003 Toolkit is missing some important libraries.

====================
update docs
====================
simplify the freelance import from afs_freelance.ini code. don't generate
an new file if the old one does not exist.
begin conversion from old string functions to new strsafe functions.
this will need to be done for all of the afsd_service.exe source
modules before we can regularly use VS .NET 2005
Add support for VL_GetEntryByNameN. Still need to figure out what needs
to be done for VL_GetEntryByNameU. (multi-homed support)
====================
fix a deadlock situation if an Obtain Tokens dialog is produced
by an expiration event and the user chooses to cancel instead of
obtain new credentials.
Remove last vestiges of Win9x comments
Update Wix 2.0 information
Provide download or ordering information on how to obtain all the
necessary tools required to build OpenAFS for FREE
Windows XP SP2 adds a firewall which blocks all incoming ports by default.
This patch adds support to the AFS Client Service (but not the AFS Server)
to automatically open the firewall to ports in use by the application.
One of the new requirements of this functionality is the use of the
latest Platform SDK "Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows XP SP2".
