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

1. A proposed fix for the recently reported ENODIR issues on RedHat 7.5 beta
   has been submitted to gerrit as gerrit number 12935.

2. Buildbot now supports manually starting builds of any gerrit or branch on
   any builder, including the "linux rc" check builders. (Credentials required.)

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

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

Gerrits have been rebased in preparation for the pre-release. Marcio to
review the rebased ubik changes.

Note: Gerrits 12283 and 12290 have been deemed not needed for 1.6.x.

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

The issue with 1.8.0pre5 builds on debian was a regression in the flex package
and fixed itself.

Ben submitted gerrit 12934 (afs_pioctl: avoid -Wpointer-sign) which should fix
the signedness issues reported when building with clang 4.0 on FreeBSD 11.1.
This fix will be merged onto the 1.8.x branch.

Mike will update gerrit 12922 (butc: convert butc/dump.c to safer string
handling).

Gerrit 12924 (ubik: don't set database epoch to 0 if not needed) will be merged
onto the master branch.
