The OpenAFS Guardians are happy to announce the availability of the first
prerelease candidate for OpenAFS 1.8.1.
Source files can be accessed via the web at:
https://www.openafs.org/release/openafs-1.8.1pre2.html
or via AFS at:
UNIX: /afs/grand.central.org/software/openafs/candidate/1.8.1pre2/
UNC: \\afs\grand.central.org\software\openafs\candidate1.8.pre2\
(Though this is the first beta, the path is "pre2" due to a late-breaking
bug discovered after a tag was generated for pre1.)
This release includes a number of bug fixes, including an expansion of the
symbols exported from shared libraries (on platforms where symbol export
limitations are applied) and completing the set of installed header files,
a fix for a reference counting error that has been observed to cause
fileserver crashes, a fix for cache manager panics when cache bypass is
enabled, a fix for client-side handling of volume callbacks, and a fix for
an easily triggered panic on BSD systems. It also introduces support for
arm64-based Linux clients. See the release notes for additional details.
Please assist the Guardians by deploying and testing this release and
providing positive or negative feedback. Bug reports should be filed
to openafs-***@openafs.org ; reports of successes should be sent to
openafs-***@openafs.org.
