The OpenAFS Gatekeepers announce the availability of OpenAFS Development
version 1.5.7 .  Source files and available binaries can be
accessed via the web at:

     http://www.openafs.org/release/openafs-1.5.7.html

or via AFS at:

     UNIX: /afs/grand.central.org/software/openafs/1.5.7/
     UNC:  \\afs\grand.central.org\software\openafs\1.5.7\

Release 1.5.7 of OpenAFS is the seventh in a series of unstable
development builds leading up to the 1.6 stable release series.

1.5.7 includes the following changes since 1.5.6:

All platforms:
* Fix congestion window tracking in Rx.

Linux:
* Updates for newer kernels.

* Test for GPL-only kernel symbol exports, to avoid use.

* Updates to keyring-as-PAG support.

* Updates to client to avoid possible deadlock in low memory/high memory
demand situations.

MacOS:
* Updated support for Leopard developer seed (only memcache is supported
at this time)

Windows support includes the following changes since the 1.4 series:

* Removes race conditions and a deadlock introduced in 1.4.1

* Fixes ANSI filename option.

* Establishes new connections to file servers when
  IP address configuration changes are detected.

* Improved CIFS compatibility

* Ignore CIFS timeouts.  Use AFS RPC Hard Dead Timeouts.

* Cache Manager optimizations

* Fixes vlserver failover when mounting 'root.afs'
  (Freelance mode disabled)

* Installs help files in the correct location for use by afscreds.exe
  and afs control panel.

* Improve reporting of "over quota" and "disk full" errors.

* large file support has been added to CIFS and Cache Manager

* add new command "fs uuid [-generate]"

* Prevent crash when evaluating mount points to volumes that do
  not exist

* Removes auto-registration of AFS ID in foreign ptservers from
  Integrated Logon DLL.  This prevents crashes if the DLL is loaded
  and unloaded prior to termination of the process.

* Implements Inline Bulk Status AFS file server RPC.

* SDK moved to \Program Files\OpenAFS\SDK

* NSIS and WiX Installer Frameworks updated to the latest versions

* Improved Kerberos Logon Integration

* Prevent exception in Integrated Logon DLL which could result in
  windows terminating unexpectedly.  Only occurs during sysprep.

* Prevent display of MessageBox dialogs in response to network adapter
  errors.

* GlobalAutoMapper functions moved to a separate thread in order to
  allow the OpenAFS service to start when there are errors in
  WNetAddConnection2.

* Restrict Hard Dead and Connection Timeout values to the CIFS Session
  Timeout value.  This is being done to reduce the number of virtual
  circuits being prematurely terminated by the CIFS client.

* Fix code that writes the BackConnectionsHostNames registry value to
  ensure that the correct length is used
