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

* No updates.

master
======

* Review needed for per-chroot sysnames
* Review needed for rx listener stack
* Fixes for linux automount are available
* Fixes to release memory during libafs shutdown on FreeBSD,
  to fix warnings on FreeBSD console
* Cheyenne is testing on linux 5.3rc, changes will be needed
  to fix libafs rx listener shutdown on 5.3 due to
  signal api changes in Linux 5.3
* Yadav reports he was working on a client deadlock issue
  - dput can call dentry_iput which will call OpenAFS afs_dentry_iput
  - if Global lock is taken before dput we retry taking lock in
    afs_dentry_iput and that can result in deadlock
  - a fix is coming to gerrit soon

Buildbot
========

A recent python update on buildbot.org seems to have triggered some crashes
of the buildbot master process recently.  The OpenAFS bosserver has been setup
to run the master now, so it will be automatically started on a crash (this is
on rhel6, so systemd is not available)

Patches for openafs-contrib/afsbotcfg have been provide by Cheyenne Wills to
trigger buildbot builds by gerrit number. This will let us us to manually
perform gerrit verifications on ones missed by the buildbot for any reason.
Stephan and Ben gave the ok to roll out the change today.
