1.8.x stable
============

* Stephan pulled up the rest of the current patches for FreeBSD,
  freebsd 12 buildbot is happy on the 1.8.x branch now.

* Stephan is pulling up candidates for 1.8.x.

* Discussion on 14816; removed dead code (to reduce code skew)
  but allow removes a symbol, so may not be suitable for 1.8.x.

1.9.x devel/master
==================

* Several patches merged on master this week.

* Ben review 14766 (let bnode operations allocate output strings) next

* Marcio reported success with OpenAFS on the upcoming macOS "Monterey"
  release.  Currently working on an issue during system shutdown.

* Ben will add Mark V to the rt.central.org security queue.
