Since the 1.3.77 release of December 17th several bug fixes and minor
changes have been implemented.

   * use new OpenAFS logo

   * Correct a deadlock condition in cm_EndCallbackGrantingCall which can
     be triggered if the volume being accessed is offline when the
     callback is being renewed.

   * The AFS Service did not respond to SERVICE_ACCEPT_SHUTDOWN messages

   * Move RPC shutdown until after the SMB and RX shutdown procedures
     complete.  Block until RPC shutdown is complete.

   * Modify afslogon.dll (integrated logon) to wait for service if its
     state is START_PENDING.  If the timeout period occurs, reset to
     the retry interval and not the sleep interval.

   * When renewing the server list for a cell obtained via DNS AFSDB
     records, the cm_cell_t entry must be removed from the list of all
     cells.  Otherwise, the list of cells will be corrupted.

   * In the dcache and scache modules, use the cm_scache_t dataVersion
     instead of the cm_fakeDirVersion for Freelance entries.

   * Synchronize fs.c with the unix version.

   * The variable used to determine whether a file or virtual memory
     mapped cache is used was not properly initialized to a default
     value. If the registry setting "NonPersistentCaching" was not
     set, the choice would be random.  Properly initialized to be
     "file".

   * The memory mapped view was never unmapped before closing the file
     at service shutdown.  This is now properly cleaned up.

   * Default location of Cache file is now %TEMP%\AFSCache

The daily builds have been uploaded to:

   /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/j/a/jaltman/Public/OpenAFS/
   \\afs\athena.mit.edu\user\j\a\jaltman\Public\OpenAFS\
   http://web.mit.edu/jaltman/Public/OpenAFS/

The version number of these builds is 1.3.7702 for sites that wish to 
deploy them instead of the current stable releases.  As always release
and debug installers are available in both EXE and MSI formats.

Enjoy.
