+                  OpenAFS Release Notes - Version 1.2.6
+     _________________________________________________________________
+Linux clients: Major bugfixes
+All systems: Minor updates and new functionality
+     _________________________________________________________________
+
+Note: FreeBSD is not supported in this release.  FreeBSD support is
+      present in the OpenAFS CVS mainline.  Users interested in FreeBSD
+      support should try one of our CVS snapshots.
+
+All systems:
+
+- Mountpoint directory information can now be faked by the cache manager,
+  making operations such as stat'ing all cells under /afs much faster.
+  This is enabled by passing the -fakestat flag to afsd.
+- Update xdr so internal variables match waht's being passed in, and use
+  our private copy of xdr for user space applications as well.
+- Correctly compile the kerberos-aware PAM module.
+- "vos listaddrs" can now print uuids, and supports a -n option to not
+   reverse resolve IP addresses.
+- When it fails to parse a cacheinfo file, afsd will not attempt to print
+  any fields of the file in the error message.
+- Properly compile butc object file with AFS_PTHREAD_ENV defined to fix
+  deadlocker problem in butc.
+- Fixed operator precedence bug causing new pags to sometimes be erroneously
+  set.
+- Fixed case where getcell pioctl might skip cells when called sequentially.
+- Ack fssync operations earlier so as not to tie up the volserver 
+  unnecessarily.
+
+Solaris:
+- Fix compilation error on Solaris 9 FCS.
+- Added support for Solaris 7 and 8 x86.
+- Correctly check for 32 bit file size limitations.
+- Properly translate return values from vm routines into errno values.
+- NFS translator kernel module compiles again, but is not built or installed
+  by default.
+
+Linux:
+- Fix compilation error on Redhat 2.4.18-5 kernel.
+- If running with dynroot, the rc script on Linux will start AFS even
+  if network is not available.
+- Deal with receiving EAGAIN from recvfrom().
+- gcpags support now exists, but is not enabled by default.
+- Fix problems causing SMP clients to sometimes miss wakeups.
+- Properly remove dentries for unlinked files.
+- Backport partial write support from the mainline.
+- If we're holding the GLOCK, attempt to drop it before calling
+  osi_linux_alloc().
+- Attempt allocate up to PAGE_SIZE with kmalloc() before calling vmalloc().
+- Translate struct fcntl back into Linux's struct file_lock so that
+  fcntl(F_GETLK) returns a correct value to the user.
+
+D/UX:
+- Updates for better support on D/UX 5.0.
+
+Darwin/MacOS X:
+- Long running processing running out of AFS will no longer cause many
+  syslog messages.
