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

The current set of gerrits for 1.8.x all have +1 reviews on them.

Stephan reported RHEL 7.9 was released this week and no OpenAFS
changes need to be made to support the new release.

Cheyenne reported both master and 1_8_x build cleanly on linux-5.9-rc7+ (gcc
9.3.0).

1.9.x
=====

1.9.0 has been tagged! This is the next development series release.

Web site change for 1.9.0 devel release is being reviewed in gerrit 14379.

Discussion on gerrit 14377 which exports pr_IsAMemberOf

Generic topic of which functions we expose from our libraries. It turns out
developers are linking against libafsrpc_pic and libafsauthent_pic because the
one's you're "supposed to" use didn't export the symbols they needed.

Ben raised an appeal for a volunteer to go through the public headers and flesh
out the export symbol lists in a systematic way.

Cheyenne volunteered to start cleaning up obsolete LINUX..ENV #ifdefs and
autoconf macros for old linux versions (older than our stated minumum required
version, circa RHEL 5).


Infrastructure
==============

No updates.
