OpenAFS 1.6.4 is the next in the current series of stable releases of OpenAFS
for all platforms except Microsoft Windows. Important changes include:

 * Support for the latest Linux kernels, 3.9 and 3.10
 * Fixes for a variety of errors identified by Coverity and Clang static analysis
 * Many other bug fixes on both clients and servers
 * Configurable file server sync behavior
 * OpenBSD 5.3 improvements

Please note that the release number 1.6.3 had to be skipped for technical reasons.

Bug reports should be filed to [email protected].

Thanks are due as usual to our dedicated team of binary builders
(Derrick Brashear, Christof Hanke, Ben Kaduk, Mike Meffie and Stephen Quinney), 
without whom the broad range of released binaries would not be possible.
