*** 1,3 ****
--- 1,127 ----
+ Since 1.5.53
+ 
+  * Fix an Rx panic caused by an attempt to double free
+    an rx_packet when an error occurs while writing the
+    packet.
+ 
+  * Fix an exception cause by a race condition when 
+    processing multiple file change notifications registered
+    by the Explorer Shell or other applications.
+ 
+  * Modify the Rx debug interface to use var_args and 
+    permit Rx debugging to be used on 64-bit Windows 
+    which previously had it disabled.
+ 
+ Since 1.5.52
+ 
+  * Automated lock hierarchy enforcement added to the
+    osi base lock package.  This permits detection of lock
+    violations that might but often does not result in 
+    deadlocks.  Enabled by default in the checked builds.
+    May be activated in release builds via the registry
+    value "LockOrderValidation" in the TransarcAFSDaemon
+    Parameters key.
+ 
+    When a violation is detection an assertion is thrown
+    generating a dump file and a message indicating which
+    locks were obtained out of order is logged to the 
+    Windows Application Event Log.
+ 
+  * Attempt to ensure that a dump file will be generated
+    whenever the service panics.
+ 
+  * Removed unused lock cm_bufGetMutex
+ 
+  * Many out of order lock acquisitions were detected
+    using the lock order verifier and were corrected.
+ 
+  * A race condition within the function path cm_GetSCache() ->
+    cm_GetNewSCache() -> cm_RecycleSCache() permitted a 
+    cm_scache_t object to be issued simultaneously to two 
+    threads.   This would eventually result in a panic due 
+    to the resulting undercount.
+ 
+  * Fix interpretation of the empty string as the ioctl path
+    to mean the current directory.  "fs lsm", "symlink list", 
+    etc. now return a "not a ..." error instead of "does not
+    exist".
+ 
+  * Add SMB_STRF_SRCNULTERM flag to smb_ParseStringXXX functions.
+    to indicate that the input string is a nul terminated string.
+    Assign ti when input strings are nul terminated instead of 
+    length counted. (from 1.5.50)
+ 
+  * The CIFS protocol specification for handling NT_TRANSACT_CREATE
+    does not match the observed behavor.  The 'nameLength' is specified
+    in bytes, not in characters.  Fix the implementation to match
+    the observed behavior. (1.5.50)
+ 
+  * The cm_HaveAccessRights() attempt at deadlock avoidance by 
+    calling lock_TryRead() on the parent directory cm_scache_t rw-lock
+    does not avoid the deadlock.  Avoid the deadlock by enforcing the
+    lock order of the lowest vnode first.  Then remove the infinite 
+    loop avoidance in cm_SyncOp() that was returning an unwarranted
+    access denied error.
+ 
+  * File Server lock synchronization was not propertly enforced in 
+    smb_ReceiveNTCreateX() and smb_ReceiveNTTranCreate().
+ 
+  * Another change to the short name generator.  Plus and equal are 
+    not valid characters in a short name according to the 
+    RtlIsNameLegalDOS8Dot3() in kernel mode.  They have been replaced
+    with left and right brace in order to minimize the impact.
+ 
+  * Fix a race condition that can result in a heap overwrite error if
+    the number of known file servers or vldb servers increases during
+    the preparation phase of a cm_CheckServers() operation.
+ 
+  * If the SMB Authentication would fail, a LSA allocated memory 
+    buffer would be leaked.
+ 
+  * Rewrite the cm_cell_t allocation code to permit cell vldb server
+    lookups to fail without leaking cm_cell_t objects.
+ 
+  * Add "fs setcrypt auth" to permit the use of rxkad authentication
+    only mode.  Not documented.
+ 
+  * Initialize Rx mutex and lock objects once and only once as part of
+    the DLL load process.
+ 
+  * When reporting the Volume Name "AFS" do not include the terminating
+    NUL in the reported length.  
+  
+  * Refresh Volume Location information upon receipt of a VNOVOL error
+    from the file server and avoid a race condition that prevented the
+    updated volume location information from being destroyed immediately
+    after it was acquired.
+ 
+  * In response to VNOVOL and VMOVED, remove the volume id from the server's
+    volume list so that the volume's up and down status is not affected 
+    when the machine is shutdown.
+ 
+  * Many fixes to the Rx stack related to packet allocation and deallocation;
+    Rx debugging; Rx packet tracking across queues; and Rx packet loss caused
+    by overwriting the rx_call currentPacket pointer when it was already 
+    referring to a packet.  
+ 
+  * Rx Jumbograms are now off by default.  To re-enable, add "RxJumbo" = "1"
+    in the TransarcAFSDeamon/Parameters key.
+ 
+  * "fs flush", "fs flushvolume", and "fs flushall" now destroy locally 
+    constructed directory B+ trees for flushed directory objects.
+ 
+  * When cached pages for directory objects have been locally modified, do
+    not permit the locally modified pages to be mixed with pages subsequently
+    obtained from the file server.  Doing so can result in directory 
+    corruption.
+ 
+  * If Ubix errors are received in response to VL_xxx operations record
+    the error on the server instance and permit the operation request to 
+    be retried in case another server is able to answer the query.  We have
+    seen at least one instance of a cell in which a VL server returned 
+    UNOQUORUM (possible database truncation) when the other servers were
+    responding successfully.
+ 
  Since 1.5.51
   * Optimize the assignment of write errors to dirty 
     buffers by applying the first error to all buffers
