The OpenAFS maintainers are happy to announce the availability of
OpenAFS 1.8.17pre1.
Source files can be accessed via the web at:

       https://www.openafs.org/release/openafs-1.8.17pre1.html

or via AFS at:

       UNIX: /afs/grand.central.org/software/candidate/openafs/1.8.17pre1/
       UNC: \\afs\grand.central.org\software\candidate\openafs\1.8.17pre1\

This release includes support for Linux versions through 7.2 and
macOS version 27 (Golden Gate), as well as disabling the OpenAFS directory
name lookup cache (DNLC) on Linux since the native Linux dcache plays the same
role.  Some other largely internal improvements are included, such as
optimizing the implementation of "unlog -cell" and relying solely on
server-side volume management during "vos convertROtoRW".

Please assist the maintainers by deploying and testing this release and
providing positive or negative feedback.  Bug reports should be filed
to openafs-bugs@openafs.org ; reports of successes should be sent to
openafs-info@openafs.org.

Benjamin Kaduk
for the OpenAFS maintainers
