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

Stephan merged several fixes for 1.8.8 from master:

14515 vol: prevent salvage segfault for orphaned vnode with out-of-range parent
14514 rx: prevent leakage of non-cached rx_connections (pthread)
14513 rx: fix out-of-range value for RX_CONN_NAT_PING

To-Do-List comprises FBSD, 10831, Linux 5.11 and Big Sur.
It appears 10831 is not a trival backport.

10831 Move key-related warnings to common server code

"Solaris kstats" support patches have been merged on the master
branch and are candidates for 1.8.8. Stephan will pull them up
to 1.8.x in gerrit for review.

13168 afs: more cache truncation stats
13278 afs: consolidate duplicated wait-for-cache-drain code
13170 SOLARIS: provide cache manager stats via kstat

Cheyenne reports success building and running openafs-stable-1_8_x on Linux 5.11.

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

Several fixes merged to master this week:

14515 eee6a0cddc vol: prevent salvage segfault for orphaned vnode with out-of-range parent
14514 9e608659f6 rx: prevent leakage of non-cached rx_connections (pthread)
14513 1e5496856b rx: fix out-of-range value for RX_CONN_NAT_PING

Ben considering releasing 1.9.1 (with the Rx CID fix and other
changes since 1.9.0.)  Mike volunteered to write the first
draft NEWS file.
