The OpenAFS Release Team is pleased to announce the availability of OpenAFS version 1.8.4 for UNIX/Linux. Source files can be accessed via the web at
http://www.openafs.org/release/1.8.4/ or via AFS at UNIX: /afs/grand.central.org/software/openafs/1.8.4/ UNC: \\afs\grand.central.org\software\openafs\1.8.4\ This release brings support for the client under Linux mainline kernels up to 5.3, performance improvements, improved diagnostics, support for Linux on the PPC64 Little Endian platform, fixes and enhancements for Red Hat packaging as well as a number of bug fixes, among those some that should help avoid false ENOENT errors on Linux which can cause symptoms like getcwd() failures. Note there's a change in ptserver's behaviour when run in restricted mode, which is now consistent with the documentation: Non-members of the system:administrators group are no longer allowed to issue the adduser, setfields and delete pts commands, and all members of system:administrators are now allowed to issue pts commands in this mode, not just the admin principal. For the full list of user visible changes in this release, please see http://www.openafs.org/dl/openafs/1.8.4/RELNOTES-1.8.4 Bug reports should be filed to [email protected].
