+                  OpenAFS Release Notes - Version 1.4.2
+     _________________________________________________________________
+All systems: Major bugfixes.
+     _________________________________________________________________
+
+* Bugfixes:
+
+All systems:
+
+* A bug in the namei volserver which could erroneously make a replicated or 
+  moved volume go offline has been fixed.
+
+* Volume package users (fileserver, volserver, salvager) avoid using lockf to 
+  avoid leaking byte range locks on volume internal files.
+
+MacOS 10.4:
+
+* A bug where the client kernel module could free stack memory (which caused 
+  issues with 64 bit Intel most commonly) has been fixed.
+
+Linux:
+
+* A missing kernel feature test has been fixed.
+
+* group based PAG support is still enabled when possible.
+
+* ia32 syscall table support for amd64 has build fixes for modern kernels.
+
+Solaris:
+
+* fopen() is not safe for use with more than 255 file descriptors open; 
+  Emulate it in the afsconf package so afsconf can be used in the fileserver.
+
+Windows:
+
+* DNS registration is disabled for the loopback adapter, and we make sure 
+  Netbios is turned on.
+
+Since 1.4.1:
+
+All platforms:
+* Remove use of ubik_Call in the source code so prototypes are used.
+
+* Avoid synchrony in call from the fileserver to the ptserver.
+
+* Fix a bug in the backup suite when restoring.
+
+* fileserver and volserver now log for error conditions which may cause
+  exiting.
+
+* rx avoids a stack overrun when more packets are needed.
+
+* volserver avoids holding a lock too long when purging volumes.
+
+* volserver lock initialization fixes
+
+* volserver volume nuke fixes to avoid leaving files behind
+
+* fileserver avoids error when authenticating ptserver requests
+
+* fileserver no longer crashes when GetCPS fails
+
+* salvager enhancements to deal better with corrupt volumes for namei
+
+Unix:
+
+* aklog deals with KDCs which give "generic" replies to principals not
+  existing.
+
+* Fix bug in cache parameter autotuning
+
+RedHat:
+
+* packaging fixes
+
+Linux:
+
+* amd64 pthread library family updates.
+
+* autoconf fixes for kernel feature testing
+
+* keyring PAG support now only enabled if needed features are present
+  and other updates
+
+* inline a version of BUG() so we get better oopses
+
+AIX:
+
+* tsm is updated to work with the new AIX 5 interface.
+
+MacOS:
+
+* Cross compile fixes
+
+* Packaging improvements
+
+* Large file support fixed (Thanks to Chaskiel Grundman)
+
+* Fixes for Leopard seed.
+
+* Installer image updates
+
+Windows:
+
+* Removes race conditions and a deadlock introduced in 1.4.1
+
+* Fixes ANSI filename option.
+
+* Establishes new connections to file servers when
+  IP address configuration changes are detected.
+
+* Improved CIFS compatibility
+
+* Cache Manager optimizations
+
+* Fixes vlserver failover when mounting 'root.afs'
+  (Freelance mode disabled)
+
+* Installs help files in the correct location for use by afscreds.exe
+  and afs control panel.
+
+* Improve reporting of "over quota" and "disk full" errors.
+
+* Prevent crash when evaluating mount points to volumes that do
+  not exist
+
+* Removes auto-registration of AFS ID in foreign ptservers from
+  Integrated Logon DLL.  This prevents crashes if the DLL is loaded
+  and unloaded prior to termination of the process.
+
+* SDK moved to \Program Files\OpenAFS\SDK
+
+* NSIS and WiX Installer Frameworks update to the latest versions
+
+* Improvements to the Kerberos Logon Integration
+
+* Prevents exception in Integrated Logon DLL during SysPrep
+
+* Prevents displays of MessageBox dialogs in response to Network Adapter
+  errors
+
+* Hard Dead and Connection Timeout values restricted to the CIFS Session
+  Timeout value.
+
+* Correct writing of BackConnectionsHostNames registry value.
+
+* Properly recycles Volume entries
+
+* The AFS Explorer Shell Extension always finds its resource library.
+
+* The export list for AFSAUTHENT.DLL has been corrected.  (The AFS
+  plugin for NetIDMgr will no longer use 100% of CPU.)
+
+* Renaming files on Microsoft Vista Build 5536 works.
+
+* Better handling of "." directory in fs commands
+
+* Add OpenAFS License text to installers
+
+* fs setquota and fs mkmount commands behave the same as the UNIX
+  version
