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

1.6.22.2
--------

The next planned 1.6.x release will be 1.6.22.2 release to support
linux 4.15:

- macos high sierra support
- linux 4.15 support
- changes to address getcwd() issues on RHEL7.4 (now merged on master)
- rpm specfile changes to build kernel-debuginfo package

(The rpm specfile changes may be deferred.)


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

Candidates for 1.6.23pre1

Rx fix already on master/1.8:

7784 rx: rxi_ReceiveDataPacket do not set rprev on drop

Fixes for ubik quorum lose issues:

12803 ubik: avoid early DISK_Begin calls we know will fail
12806 ubik: update epoch as soon as sync-site is elected
12807 ubik: remove useless signal call
12811 ubik: allow remote dbase relabel if up to date

Other candidates, backported from 1.8.x/master. Reviews
for 1.6.x branch are needed.

12684 libafs: avoid resetting the dynroot volume every 10 minutes
12685 libafs: rename volume accessTime to setupTime
12686 libafs: update the volume setup time when the vldb is rechecked
12687 libafs: vldb cache timeout option (-volume-ttl)

12667 afs: fix afs_xserver deadlock in afsdb refresh
12645 Put jhutz's ubik analysis in doc/txt
12646 doc: Add introduction and credits to ubik.txt
12666 Linux: fix whitespace in osi_sysctl.c
12643 afs: Improve "Corrupt directory" warning

Other candidates may be proposed. Reviews are welcome.

Note, the recent change on master which is not a candidate for 1.6.x
(this is a build fix for 1.8.x):

12853 rx: remove trailing semicolons from FBSD mutex operations


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

the final beta release.  Test reports are appreciated. The next release will be
a release candidate.  Known items to be addressed in the next release:

* the FreeBSD build fix (12853) and new sysnames for FreeBSD
* autoconf refactoring changes
