NEWS
====

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

* Stephan deferring 10831, since it requires backporting to avoid pulling
  in many unrelated changes, and 10831 is just code reorg.
10831: Move key-related warnings to common server code

* Cheyenne reports master and 1.8.x build cleanly with linux 5.16

* Cheyenne reports minor build problem with 5.17 pre rc0, likely just
  a makefile change is needed.

* Merged on master, and targeted for 1.8.x: 14857 afs.h: fix out of tree build failures

* Update c-tap unit test library to version 4.7 in gerrits 14879 and 14880

* Mark suggests vldb_check fix 14845,6,7 is a good candidate for 1.8.x
  (14846 is the actual fix.  14846, 14867 are code cleanup and testing changes)

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

* No report this week
