Since 1.4.12pre3, an issue which could trigger a MacOS bug and hang 
Finder, an issue with Linux file locking, an issue with Linux 2.6.33 
kernel module builds, an erroneous crash in the fileserver when 
checking for corruption in the host list, a race on detecting deleted 
hosts in the fileserver host list, and a client retry issue for idle Rx 
connections have been addressed.

or negative feedback. Bug reports should be filed to
