+                  OpenAFS Release Notes - Version 1.2.9
+     _________________________________________________________________
+New platform support.
+All systems: New functionality and minor bugfixes.
+     _________________________________________________________________
+
+* kaserver defaults to disallowing interrealm authentication.
+
+Due to security holes present in the Kerberos 4 protocol, the kaserver
+now defaults to disallowing interrealm authentication.  This functionality
+can be restored by supplying the "-crossrealm" flag to the kaserver.
+However, note that doing so is considered a significant security risk.
+
+* New platform support: RedHat Linux 9.0, Solaris 9 12/02, server only
+  support for Tru64 5.1.
+
+All systems:
+
+- rxkad 2b will now do krb4/krb5 principal name translation.
+
+- Always include errno.h instead of declaring "extern int errno", for
+  compatability with modern glibc.
+
+- Fix race conditions in fileserver responsible for various fileserver
+  crashes.
+
+- Fix a deadlock condition in the fileserver that could occur at shutdown
+  time.
+
+- Fix fileserver logging to be more verbose and to specify ports in the
+  correct byte order.
+
+- Rewrite of cell handling code, to allow for more consistant behavior
+  across reboots.  This also allows clients to have an empty CellServDB
+  as long as AFSDB support is enabled and ThisCell has AFSDB records.
+
+- Corrected integer overflow in xdrmem_getbytes() routine in our xdr
+  implementation, even thought it's unused.
+
+Solaris:
+
+- Autoconf glue added to correctly build on Solaris 9 12/02, which replaced
+  the fs_rlink member of a struct fs with with fs_rolled.
+
+- Kernel module now no longer uses the depricated newproc() function,
+  instead using thread_create to spawn a kernel thread.
+
+- Repaired Solaris x86 support.
+
+Linux:
+
+- Notice NETUNREACH errors and timeout attempts to access AFS quickly
+  when we're not on the network.
+
+- rxk listener shutdown code rewritten to no longer need sys_kill.
+
+- Search for linux kernel headers in both /usr/src/linux-2.4 and
+  /usr/src/linux at build time.
+
+MacOS X:
+
+- Recognize MacOS X 10.2.3, 10.2.4, and 10.2.5 as ppc_darwin_60 at
+  build time.
+
+AIX:
+
+- Make the salvager work on namei fileserver partitions.
+
+Tru64:
+
+- Allow server binaries to be built on Tru64 5.1.  No client support yet.
