+* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.2.7
+
+** MacOS X 10.2 is now supported.  FreeBSD 4.3 and later support is included
+   in this release, but is still under active development and should only
+   be used by those doing active development on the OpenAFS FreeBSD client.
+
+** When fakestat is enabled on MacOSX, the Finder can be used to browse
+   a fully-populated /afs directory.  However, this precludes reliable
+   use of entire volumes as MacOS bundles (i.e. containing a Contents
+   directory in the root of the volume).
+
+** The fileserver will now use Rx pings to determine if clients are reachable
+   prior to allocating resources to them, to prevent asymmetric clients from
+   consuming all fileserver resources.
