OpenAFS for Windows release 1.3.66 is a release candidate distribution.
1.3.66 is the culmination of eight months of significant effort which has
has resulted in the most stable and functional AFS client for the Windows
operating systems in the history of AFS. While the last five months have
produced a new stable build every month, it is now time to slow things
down for a while. Assuming the 1.3.66 is found to contain no significant
bugs in the couple of days it will be re-released as 1.3.70. 1.3.70 will be
a long term stable build. The OpenAFS Gatekeepers do not anticipate
releasing another stable build for the Windows platform before the end
of the year. In the meantime, development will continue to focus on
functionality which is expected to be destabilizing in the near term but
which in the long term will produce an even better product for the
subsequent year.
The 1.3.66/1.3.70 release is a departure from previous releases and is
not fully backward compatible. In particular, not all configuration data
will be re-used from previously installed releases. In this release all
OpenAFS configuration data is moved out of the WINDOWS directory
and stored either within the registry or the OpenAFS Client installation
directory. The location of information is documented within the
afs-install-notes.txt and registry.txt files associated with the release.
It is hoped that this is the only time that OpenAFS.org will have to
make such an incompatible change.
Active development of OpenAFS for Windows installation and configuration
documentation is underway within the OpenAFS Wiki. It is hoped the
wider community will continue the efforts of a small few in extending
the collective knowledge.

The following is a summary of major features added to OpenAFS for
Windows since the 1.2.10 release:
* Kerberos 5 support is provided via integration with the MIT
Kerberos for Windows 2.6.x distribution. This supports token
retrieval via Kerberos 5 without the use of krb524d; automatic
token renewal; tokens for multiple cells from a single Kerberos 5
principal; a built in aklog command line client; support for use
of Windows Active Directory issued tickets; and more.
* The Microsoft Loopback Adapter is automatically installed by
the OpenAFS for Windows installers. With the MSA installed
OpenAFS will use a common "AFS" server name on all machines
simplifying the use of AFS paths within login scripts
* AFS UNC paths are now supported throughout the operating
system. \\AFS\cellname\directory
* SMB/CIFS connections are now authenticated thereby closing a
security hole.
* OpenAFS will now by default utilize a locally defined root.afs
volume. Now longer is network connectivity to the root.afs
volume of the default cell a requirement for starting the AFS
Client Service. (This feature is known as "freelance" or
"dynamic root" mode.)
* Cell server lookups via DNS are now active by default without
any additional configuration.
* The integration logon functionality has been significantly enhanced
to support different behavior based upon the domain used to
logon to the machine. Tokens are automatically destroyed upon
logoff (except when a roaming profile is being loaded from an
AFS volume.)
* The AFS Systray tool has been enhanced with new command line
options used to automatically restore drive mappings from previous
sessions. This is particularly useful with roaming profiles.
* The AFS Client Service configuration may only be altered via
Administrator accounts.
* OpenAFS for Windows will be compatible with both Windows XP SP2
and Windows 2003 SP1 (when they are released)
* Old style profile (.ini) files are no longer used. All configuration
information is now stored in the registry with proper separation of
user and machine specific data. This allows individual users to
maintain their own drive mappings as well as be able to roam from
machine to machine and keep their settings.
* Integration with the Windows Explorer has been significantly improved.
* OpenAFS is now compatible with Windows Terminal Server.
* Large numbers of resource leaks and other coding errors have been
corrected.
