The OpenAFS Guardians are happy to announce the availability of the latest
stable release of OpenAFS, version 1.8.1.
Source files can be accessed via the web at:

       https://www.openafs.org/release/openafs-1.8.1.html

or via AFS at:

       UNIX: /afs/grand.central.org/software/openafs/1.8.1/
       UNC: \\afs\grand.central.org\software\openafs\1.8.1\

This release includes a number of bug fixes, including an expansion of the
symbols exported from shared libraries (on platforms where symbol export
limitations are applied) and completing the set of installed header files,
a fix for a reference counting error that has been observed to cause
fileserver crashes, a fix for cache manager panics when cache bypass is
enabled, a fix for client-side handling of volume callbacks, a fix for
an easily triggered panic on BSD systems, and a fix for `vldb_check -fix`
(which was corrupting data when multiple MH headers were present, since
1.8.0).  It also introduces support for arm64-based Linux clients, and
improves the behavior of the client when the cache partition is
inaccessible (as can happen when SIGKILL is pending for the running
process).

Please assist the Guardians 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.
