Discussion
==========

OpenAFS 1.8.13.1 has been tagged. Announcement and tarballs to follow.

The legacy "CML" AFS_component_version_number generation at compile time is
problematic and causes the build to fail with the Linux rc. Cheyenne pushed
some proposed changes to gerrit to drop support for the "CML" processing using
mkvers. 

15982 cf: Build AFS_component_version_number by configure
15981 cf: Remove mkvers.c and Makefile.version-CML

Ben Hunstman submitted a number of updates for AIX support. Thank you Ben!

A number of changes for the macOS preference pane have been merged to
the master branch so securely support the preference pane features on
current versions of macOS.

A fix to the master branch has been merged to fix an issue with client shutdown
when afsd -rxbind is in use.
