1.8.x stable
============

* Cheyenne reports the openafs-stable-1_8_x branch builds cleanly with linux
  5.9rc-2 and with gcc/clang 10.

* Stephan has been merging changes for the up coming 1.8.7pre1 release.

* 14312 (nat ping fix) has been merged on master and is ready
  for the 1.8.x branch. (thanks Yadav)

* 14329 and 14330 (update-bos-dir-access-ok) pushed to master today.
  Ben agrees those seem to be appropriate for 1.8.x, pending review.

* 14294 and 14295 (c-tap-harness update) have been earmarked for 1.8.x
  by Stephan.  This change was requested to show which unit unit tests
  fail in the buildbot (via the "new" c-tap verbose option).

* 14305 INSTALL text updates merged on master and submitted
  for 1.8.x by Cheyenne. This cherry-picked cleanly to 1.8.x

1.9.x/master
============

* Cheyenne reports master branch builds cleanly with linux 5.9rc-2
  and with gcc/clang 10.

* Mike pushed a new, much smaller stack for the "make-rpm" target,
  and abandoned the old stack. The new stack has just 2 commits;
  one change to makesrpm.pl to improve handling of version numbers,
  and one change to add a top level target to run rpmbuild.
