Stable (1.8.x)
==============

* Stephan reports he has started merging the second batch of changes for 1.8.11
* Discussion on 15532 (afs: Check dcache size when checking DVs)
  - General agreement this patch and the followups 15533 and 15535 should
    be merged for 1.8.11

* Cheyenne reports Linux 6.6 is still building cleanly for master

* Mark is working on a fix for linux 6.3+ (if CONFIG_FORTTIFY_SOURCE=y) and
  gcc-13 which is causing grief for some fedora bleeding edge folks. (Those
  gerrits are currently in review on the master branch)
