+Since 1.3.80:
+ * Fixed a locking error in cm_TryBulkStat() which had the
+ potential of deadlocking the system for the length of time
+ it takes to perform a bulk status fetch operation.
+
+ * Replaced time conversion code (UnixTime <-> FILETIME) to
+ be completely arithmetic instead of relying on a bizarre
+ algorithm involving a variety of C RTL time functions.
+
+ * Fixed a invalid memory access under a bizarre circumstance.
+ Windows will allow a physical mass media device to be
+ installed via Plug N Play to the system and will assign it
+ the lowest available drive letter. This is true even if the
+ drive letter is currently assigned in the user session to
+ a network device via NET USE (or its equivalent.) When this
+ happens, queries sent to the CIFS server will contain invalid
+ data. This invalid data was not being caught by the AFS
+ Client Service and was resulting in a crash when Freelance
+ mode was in use.
+
+ * Fixed a reference count error when registering callbacks
+ on a stat cache object if the callback was already registered
+
+ * Add a case to cm_Analyze() in order to handle the case where
+ cm_GetConnByMServers() returns CM_ERROR_NOSUCHVOLUME because
+ the server list for the volume is empty. In this case, force
+ an update of the volume info and retry.
+
+ * Insert a missing cm_EndCallbackGrantingCall() which could
+ result in threads waiting for a callback to complete to never
+ be woken up.
+
+ * In the persistent cache, there is a maximum number of volume
+ entries. Allow volume entries to be reused if the maximum
+ number have been allocated and their reference count is zero.
+
+ * If we already have a dead virtual connection object, don't
+ ignore the fact that additional dead vc objects must be taken
+ care of.
+
+ * Removed a deadlock condition introduced in the summer of 2004.
+ Do not hold mx locks around calls to RX functions including
+ rx_NewCall(). That is what reference counts on the rx_connection
+ object are for.
+
+ * Fixed an initialization error in afslogon.dll which could
+ result in random behavior including a failure to terminate
+ the NPLogon function. (1.3.80b)
+
+ * Fixed an error preventing the use of SMB authentication
+ on Windows 2000. (1.3.80a)
