 Since 1.3.65:
+   * afs_config.exe now validates cell names against DNS in addition
+     to the CellServDB file.
+
+   * In order to allow the freelance client to connect to a volume with ID 
+     equal to 1 on the default cell we changed the fake root.afs volume ID
+     once again.  This time we choose 0xFFFFFFFF.  In addition, we change
+     the cell ID of the fake root.afs volume from 1 to 0xFFFFFFFF as well.
+     It will now be impossible for a volume ID to match that of another 
+     cell unless the client is connected to 0xFFFFFFFD cells.  That should
+     be enough room for growth.
+
+   * Fix "fs mkmount" command to work with UNC paths and when
+     started from non-AFS drives.  It is now possible to create a mount
+     point in the freelance fake root.afs volume with the command
+
+        fs mkmount \\AFS\all\<directory-name> <volume-name> <cellname>
+
+     For example,
+        
+        fs mkmount \\AFS\all\openafs.org root.cell openafs.org
+        fs mkmount \\AFS\all\.openafs.org root.cell openafs.org -rw

    * The algorithm used to re-attempt access to the servers associated with
      a volume has been altered to properly address the case in which all 
      servers have been marked down.  The previous algorithm did not reset
