News

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

Late additions proposed for 1.8.8pre2 last week (topic:1.8.8pre2)

14665 bos: do not assume fs just if dafs bnode is stopped
14666 bos: Let xdr allocate rpc output strings
14664 libadmin: Let xdr allocate rpc output strings
14663 afs: Update style in afs_tokens.c
14667 afs: Free pioctlToken in extractPioctlToken

Notes:
* 14667 Fixes 135238: slow Linux kernel memory leak via "pts examine"
* 14666 Fixes a potential stack overflow by 1 char in the bos client

The others are pullups of minor fixes for clean cherry-picks.

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

rx previousPacket handling changes in review/discussion.

14658 rx: do not update rprev if the DATA packet is dropped
14659 rx: do not let rx_call.rprev roll backwards
14660 rx: use (firstPacket + nAcks) instead of previousPacket for validity test
14661 rx: rxi_ReceiveAckPacket restore implicit NAK (seq >= first + nAcks)

Yadav reports he continues to work on a fix for the crowdstrike falcon
issue. Testing of a fix looks promising.


Buildbot
========

* Cutover to the new buildbot coordinator has been completed.
