Recent news
===========

New clang-analyzer is not running on the buildbot against the master branch.
Thanks to Pat Riehecky for the recent set of patches to address issues indicated
by the clang static analyzer (and other analyzers Pat has been using).

Discussion on gerrit topic conventions: Should we adopt a convention such that
gerrit topics should always be associated with git "topic branches"?  Gerrit
does not require or enforce this, but it could possibly help keep change sets
organized and help manage commit order.


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

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

* 1.6.x is pretty clean at this stage according to Stephan
* Remaining topic is "add ctf records" for debugging (solaris only), which
  is not a blocker for 1.6.23pre1
* Additional changes for RPM spec files fixes remaining
* NEWS file update to be done


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

Fixes available and targeted for the next 1.8.x release:

* client fix for vos release callback processing (stale read-only files bug)
* client crash when used in cache bypass mode
* public api updates to support out of tree tools (more review needed)
* various build fixes

In general, we would like to avoid having patches languish on the master branch,
so Stephan is pulling up backports of the backlog since 1.8.0 release.  Patches
for rxgk are not being pulled up, since those are targeted for a future
release, but in general, fixes and cleanups are being pulled up to the 1.8.x
branch.

Reviews are requested. See gerrit branch:openafs-stable-1_8_x status:open
