The OpenAFS Gatekeepers announce the availability of the fourth release 
candidate for OpenAFS version 1.4.12.
Source files and available binaries can be accessed via the web at:

       http://www.openafs.org/release/openafs-1.4.12pre4.html

A large number of bugfixes, including in the Linux cache manager and the 
fileserver, are included, as well as a Preferences Pane for MacOS.

Since 1.4.12pre3, an issue which could trigger a MacOS bug and hang 
Finder, an issue with Linux file locking, an issue with Linux 2.6.33 
kernel module builds, an erroneous crash in the fileserver when 
checking for corruption in the host list, a race on detecting deleted 
hosts in the fileserver host list, and a client retry issue for idle Rx 
connections have been addressed.

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