Recent issues/news
==================

1. RedHat 7.5 beta issues are still being investigated.
2. Linux 4.16rc1 has been issued without any known problems for us.

1.6.x stable series
===================

1.6.23pre1
----------

Most gerrits for 1.6.23 have been reviewed. Thank you to those that provided
reviews and comments.

Review comments on the rpm spec file changes and afsd -volume-ttl feature are
to be addressed.  One of the ubik changes requires a rebase (the commits are
currently not in the correct order in gerrit).  Stephan will rebase the commits
and begin merging approved gerrits to the openafs-stable-1_6_x branch.

Stephan asked about to gerrits on master related to ubik changes: 12283 and 12290
Marcio to follow up.

1.8.x series
============

More NEWS file updates for pre5 (Ben)

Ben has held off on issuing pre5 to get some more input on whether 12906 and/or
12905 merit inclusion.

The consensus is 12906 (ubik: avoid labeling a database "0.0") is not a
regression, is not specific to 1.8.x, and is not related to the other recent
ubik changes, so should not block 1.8.0pre5 while work continues on that fix.

The consensus is pre5 will be announced as a release candidate.
