The OpenAFS maintainers are happy to announce the availability of
OpenAFS 1.8.17pre2.
Source files can be accessed via the web at:

       https://www.openafs.org/release/openafs-1.8.17pre2.html

or via AFS at:

       UNIX: /afs/grand.central.org/software/candidate/openafs/1.8.17pre2/
       UNC: \\afs\grand.central.org\software\candidate\openafs\1.8.17pre2\

This release includes support for Linux versions through 7.3 and macOS
version 27 (Golden Gate), as well as disabling the OpenAFS directory name
lookup cache (DNLC) on Linux since the native Linux dcache plays the same
role.  A deadlock in the user-space client (regression since OpenAFS
1.8.11) has been fixed, and some other largely internal improvements are
included, such as optimizing the implementation of "unlog -cell" and
relying solely on server-side volume management during "vos convertROtoRW".

Please assist the maintainers by deploying and testing this release and
providing positive or negative feedback.  Bug reports should be filed
to openafs-bugs@openafs.org ; reports of successes should be sent to
openafs-info@openafs.org.

Benjamin Kaduk
