[OpenAFS-devel] Changes in OpenAFS-1.2.11?

[Alf Wachsmann]

Due to the lack of a ChangeLog file in OpenAFS-1.2.11, I've diff'ed
through the sources of 1.2.10 and 1.2.11 to see whether a client upgrade
is in order as well.

I could see the following:
- addition of ppc_darwin_70
- openafs-1.2.11/src/butc/lwps.c
	in PromptForTape:
	-               FFlushInput(stdin);
	+               FFlushInput();
- openafs-1.2.11/src/viced/viced.c
	#ifdef AFS_PTHREAD_ENV
	...
	-void CheckDescriptors_Signal(x)  {CheckDescriptors(0);}
	+void CheckDescriptors_Signal(x)  {CheckDescriptors();}
	#else /* AFS_PTHREAD_ENV

- openafs-1.2.11/src/volser/volprocs.c
  in VolRestore
	+    DFlushVolume(V_parentId(tt->volume)); /* Ensure dir buffers get dropped */

- and of course openafs-1.2.11/src/ubik/beacon.c
	-       oldestYesVote = 0x3fffffff; /* time quorum expires */
	+       oldestYesVote = 0x7fffffff; /* time quorum expires */

This indicates to me that a client upgrade is _not_ warranted.
Any hints from the developers on this questions?

Many thanks,
                Alf.
