126.12.2001	1.4.3
2    - Additional cleanups for FreeBSD builds.
3    - Charset specifications now accepted in the [default] section.
4
520.12.2001	1.4.2 (interim)
6    - Various merges (but not all) from Darwin project.
7    - Minor man pages corrections.
8    - Support builds in the FreeBSD main tree.
9
1016.04.2001	1.4.1
11    - Kernel side of smbfs committed in the FreeBSD-current. It controlled
12      by following options: LIBMCHAIN, LIBICONV, NETSMB, NETSMBCRYPTO and SMBFS.
13    - Removed static dependency on the libiconv library, option WITH_ICONV
14      removed as well. If you use libiconv support, make sure that the latest
15      port is installed.
16    - Multiple mount/umount operations called in parallel can cause kernel
17      panic - fixed.
18    - Misc code cleanups.
19
2026.02.2001	1.3.6
21    - Names of some options is the config.mk.in file are changed. The old ones
22      are still supported.
23    - Synch with changes in the recent -current (you'll need kernel compiled
24      from sources at least as of Feb 24).
25    - In all previous versions of smbfs signals weren't properly masked,
26      which caused erratical behavior of some programs (ftp(1) for example).
27    - Mounted shares may become "frozen" (no timeout occurs) if server died or
28      disconnected for some reason - fixed.
29
3009.02.2001	1.3.5
31    - The user and server names was swapped in the "TreeConnect"
32      request (fixed by Jonathan Hanna).
33    - smb requester could cause a panic if there is no free mbufs - fixed.
34    - It is possible to use smbfs with devfs now, but it wasn't tested under
35      SMP. Also note that device permissions will be wrong, because devfs
36      do not allow passing of credentials to the cloning function.
37    - nsmbX device moved from the /dev/net directory to /dev directory.
38
3931.01.2001	1.3.4
40    - Maintance: synch with changes in the recent -current
41
4228.01.2001	1.3.3
43    - Connection handling engine rewritten in order to reduce number of
44      possible deadlocks during reconnect operations.
45    - Directory traversals should be faster on large directories.
46    - smbfs now can talk to the NetApp servers (thanks to Jonathan Hanna).
47    - smbfs.sh.sample script updated (ideas from Nikolai Saoukh).
48    - Minor bug fixes.
49
5019.11.2000	1.3.2
51    - synch with changes in the recent -current
52    - nail down a nasty bug which may cause incorrect values supplied as
53      domain name (reported by Harald Weis).
54    - There was a bug in the directory listing code which caused long directory
55      traversals to fail (reported by A G F Keahan).
56
5729.10.2000	1.3.1
58    - An attempt was made to get rid from the possible kernel stack overflow.
59    - Now connection will be restored properly under -stable.
60    NOTE: NT servers have an 'AutoDisconnect' feature which will drop client
61    connection after some time of idleing. smbfs will restore connection on
62    the next request, but one may wish to setup a cron job with a simple
63    'ls /ntmount' command.
64
6520.10.2000	1.3.0
66    - Network IO engine significantly reworked. Now it uses kernel threads
67      to implement 'smbiod' process which handles network traffic for each VC.
68      Previous model were incapable to serve large number of mount points and
69      didn't work well with intensive IO operations performed on a different
70      files on the same mount point. Special care was taken on better
71      usage of MP systems.
72      Unfortunately, kernel threads aren't supported by FreeBSD 3.X and for
73      now it is excluded from the list of supported systems.
74    - Reduce overhead caused by using single hash table for each mount point.
75
7626.09.2000	1.2.8 (never released)
77    - More SMP related bugs are fixed.
78    - Make smbfs compatible with the Linux emulator.
79    - smbfs now known to work with IBM LanManager (special thanks to
80      Eugen Averin <mad@euinf.dp.ua>)
81    - Fix problem with files bigger than 2GB (reported by Lee McKenna)
82    - Please note that smbfs may not work properly with FreeBSD 3.X.
83
8416.08.2000	1.2.7
85    - Maintance: use better algorithm to detect SYSCTL_HANDLER_ARGS changes
86      to avoid compilation problems on various versions of FreeBSD.
87
8807.08.2000	1.2.6
89    - Fix iconv support, was broken in the 1.2.5
90    - Minor corrections to 'smbutil view' command.
91    - Fix kernel memory leak caused by two subsequent and identical
92      'smbutil login' commands.
93
9425.07.2000	1.2.5
95    - NetBIOS name resolver added. '-I' option still supported. WINS server
96      can be specified in the nsmbrc file (nbns variable). To use resolver
97      with Win9X machines you have to specify WINS server in the config file.
98
9912.07.2000	1.2.4
100    - Variable SRCTREE in the config.mk replaced with SYSDIR and should
101      point to the sys directory. '/usr/src/sys' for example.
102    - Correct problem with the keep-alive packets
103
10404.07.2000	1.2.3
105    - Killed some bugs related to the out-of-mbufs condition.
106    - new keyword 'addr' added to the config file to specify server address.
107    - Another attempt to make reconnection procedure more stable.
108
10921.06.2000	1.2.2
110    - Device handles wasn't freed under FreeBSD 3.4 - fixed.
111      Implement correct handling of multiple connections to the same NT
112      server (thanks to kit <kit.mitchell@team.xtra.co.nz>) for report.
113      More misc fixes for an NT servers.
114
11511.06.2000	1.2.1
116    - More bug fixes in the connection handling mechanism.
117      mount_smbfs(8) manpage has now proper description for an '-N' option.
118      smbutil supports new commands:
119	'print'	- send file to the remote printer
120	'view'	- list shares available on the specified host
121	'login'	- create permanent connection to remote host
122	'logout'- counterpart of 'login'
123	'crypt'	- produce an encrypted password to store in the .nsmbrc file.
124
12501.06.2000	1.1.2
126    - Support for FreeBSD 3.4 added (see INSTALL file for details).
127      Add advisory locking support in order to make fcntl(2), flock(2)
128      system calls actually work on smbfs.
129      Few non-serious bugs fixed.
130
13116.05.2000	1.0.5
132    - fix authentication code, this caused troubles with NT server.
133      (Thanks to Neil Blakey-Milner and Andrew Zavjalov for testing)
134      Some documentation changes.
135
13614.05.2000	1.0.2
