+Version 1.51
+------------
+Fix memory leak in statfs when mounted to very old servers (e.g.
+Windows 9x). Add new feature "POSIX open" which allows servers
+which support the current POSIX Extensions to provide better semantics
+(e.g. delete for open files opened with posix open). Take into
+account umask on posix mkdir not just older style mkdir. Add
+ability to mount to IPC$ share (which allows CIFS named pipes to be
+opened, read and written as if they were files). When 1st tree
+connect fails (e.g. due to signing negotiation failure) fix
+leak that causes cifsd not to stop and rmmod to fail to cleanup
+cifs_request_buffers pool. Fix problem with POSIX Open/Mkdir on
+bigendian architectures.
+
+Version 1.50
+------------
+Fix NTLMv2 signing. NFS server mounted over cifs works (if cifs mount is
+done with "serverino" mount option). Add support for POSIX Unlink
+(helps with certain sharing violation cases when server such as
+Samba supports newer POSIX CIFS Protocol Extensions). Add "nounix"
+mount option to allow disabling the CIFS Unix Extensions for just
+that mount. Fix hang on spinlock in find_writable_file (race when
+reopening file after session crash). Byte range unlock request to
+windows server could unlock more bytes (on server copy of file)
+than intended if start of unlock request is well before start of
+a previous byte range lock that we issued.
+
+Version 1.49
+------------
+IPv6 support. Enable ipv6 addresses to be passed on mount (put the ipv6
+address after the "ip=" mount option, at least until mount.cifs is fixed to
+handle DNS host to ipv6 name translation). Accept override of uid or gid
+on mount even when Unix Extensions are negotiated (it used to be ignored
+when Unix Extensions were ignored). This allows users to override the
+default uid and gid for files when they are certain that the uids or
+gids on the server do not match those of the client. Make "sec=none"
+mount override username (so that null user connection is attempted)
+to match what documentation said. Support for very large reads, over 127K,
+available to some newer servers (such as Samba 3.0.26 and later but
+note that it also requires setting CIFSMaxBufSize at module install
+time to a larger value which may hurt performance in some cases).
+Make sign option force signing (or fail if server does not support it).
+
+Version 1.48
+------------
+Fix mtime bouncing around from local idea of last write times to remote time.
+Fix hang (in i_size_read) when simultaneous size update of same remote file
+on smp system corrupts sequence number. Do not reread unnecessarily partial page
+(which we are about to overwrite anyway) when writing out file opened rw.
+When DOS attribute of file on non-Unix server's file changes on the server side
+from read-only back to read-write, reflect this change in default file mode
+(we had been leaving a file's mode read-only until the inode were reloaded).
+Allow setting of attribute back to ATTR_NORMAL (removing readonly dos attribute
+when archive dos attribute not set and we are changing mode back to writeable
+on server which does not support the Unix Extensions). Remove read only dos
+attribute on chmod when adding any write permission (ie on any of
+user/group/other (not all of user/group/other ie 0222) when
+mounted to windows. Add support for POSIX MkDir (slight performance
+enhancement and eliminates the network race between the mkdir and set
+path info of the mode).
+
+
+Version 1.47
+------------
+Fix oops in list_del during mount caused by unaligned string.
+Fix file corruption which could occur on some large file
+copies caused by writepages page i/o completion bug.
+Seek to SEEK_END forces check for update of file size for non-cached
+files. Allow file size to be updated on remote extend of locally open,
+non-cached file. Fix reconnect to newer Samba servers (or other servers
+which support the CIFS Unix/POSIX extensions) so that we again tell the
+server the Unix/POSIX cifs capabilities which we support (SetFSInfo).
+Add experimental support for new POSIX Open/Mkdir (which returns
+stat information on the open, and allows setting the mode).
+
+Version 1.46
+------------
+Support deep tree mounts. Better support OS/2, Win9x (DOS) time stamps.
+Allow null user to be specified on mount ("username="). Do not return
+EINVAL on readdir when filldir fails due to overwritten blocksize
+(fixes FC problem). Return error in rename 2nd attempt retry (ie report
+if rename by handle also fails, after rename by path fails, we were
+not reporting whether the retry worked or not). Fix NTLMv2 to
+work to Windows servers (mount with option "sec=ntlmv2").
+
+Version 1.45
+------------
+Do not time out lockw calls when using posix extensions. Do not
+time out requests if server still responding reasonably fast
+on requests on other threads. Improve POSIX locking emulation,
+(lock cancel now works, and unlock of merged range works even
+to Windows servers now). Fix oops on mount to lanman servers
+(win9x, os/2 etc.) when null password. Do not send listxattr
+(SMB to query all EAs) if nouser_xattr specified. Fix SE Linux
+problem (instantiate inodes/dentries in right order for readdir).
+
+Version 1.44
+------------
+Rewritten sessionsetup support, including support for legacy SMB
+session setup needed for OS/2 and older servers such as Windows 95 and 98.
+Fix oops on ls to OS/2 servers. Add support for level 1 FindFirst
+so we can do search (ls etc.) to OS/2. Do not send NTCreateX
+or recent levels of FindFirst unless server says it supports NT SMBs
+(instead use legacy equivalents from LANMAN dialect). Fix to allow
+NTLMv2 authentication support (now can use stronger password hashing
+on mount if corresponding /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags is set (0x4004).
+Allow override of global cifs security flags on mount via "sec=" option(s).
+
+Version 1.43
+------------
+POSIX locking to servers which support CIFS POSIX Extensions
+(disabled by default controlled by proc/fs/cifs/Experimental).
+Handle conversion of long share names (especially Asian languages)
+to Unicode during mount. Fix memory leak in sess struct on reconnect.
+Fix rare oops after acpi suspend. Fix O_TRUNC opens to overwrite on
+cifs open which helps rare case when setpathinfo fails or server does
+not support it.
+
+Version 1.42
+------------
+Fix slow oplock break when mounted to different servers at the same time and
+the tids match and we try to find matching fid on wrong server. Fix read
+looping when signing required by server (2.6.16 kernel only). Fix readdir
+vs. rename race which could cause each to hang. Return . and .. even
+if server does not. Allow searches to skip first three entries and
+begin at any location. Fix oops in find_writeable_file.
+
+Version 1.41
+------------
+Fix NTLMv2 security (can be enabled in /proc/fs/cifs) so customers can
+configure stronger authentication. Fix sfu symlinks so they can
+be followed (not just recognized). Fix wraparound of bcc on
+read responses when buffer size over 64K and also fix wrap of
+max smb buffer size when CIFSMaxBufSize over 64K. Fix oops in
+cifs_user_read and cifs_readpages (when EAGAIN on send of smb
+on socket is returned over and over). Add POSIX (advisory) byte range
+locking support (requires server with newest CIFS UNIX Extensions
+to the protocol implemented). Slow down negprot slightly in port 139
+RFC1001 case to give session_init time on buggy servers.
+
+Version 1.40
+------------
+Use fsuid (fsgid) more consistently instead of uid (gid). Improve performance
+of readpages by eliminating one extra memcpy. Allow update of file size
+from remote server even if file is open for write as long as mount is
+directio. Recognize share mode security and send NTLM encrypted password
+on tree connect if share mode negotiated.
+
+Version 1.39
+------------
+Defer close of a file handle slightly if pending writes depend on that handle
+(this reduces the EBADF bad file handle errors that can be logged under heavy
+stress on writes). Modify cifs Kconfig options to expose CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2
+Fix SFU style symlinks and mknod needed for servers which do not support the
+CIFS Unix Extensions. Fix setfacl/getfacl on bigendian. Timeout negative
+dentries so files that the client sees as deleted but that later get created
+on the server will be recognized. Add client side permission check on setattr.
+Timeout stuck requests better (where server has never responded or sent corrupt
+responses)
+
+Version 1.38
+------------
+Fix tcp socket retransmission timeouts (e.g. on ENOSPACE from the socket)
+to be smaller at first (but increasing) so large write performance performance
+over GigE is better. Do not hang thread on illegal byte range lock response
+from Windows (Windows can send an RFC1001 size which does not match smb size) by
+allowing an SMBs TCP length to be up to a few bytes longer than it should be.
+wsize and rsize can now be larger than negotiated buffer size if server
+supports large readx/writex, even when directio mount flag not specified.
+Write size will in many cases now be 16K instead of 4K which greatly helps
+file copy performance on lightly loaded networks. Fix oops in dnotify
+when experimental config flag enabled. Make cifsFYI more granular.
+
+Version 1.37
+------------
+Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer,
+and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry.
+Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested
+(most servers throw it away anyway). Fix length check of received smbs
+to be more accurate. Fix big endian problem with mapchars mount option,
+and with a field returned by statfs.
+
+Version 1.36
+------------
+Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.
+For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in
+on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to
+avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.
+Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock
+requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with
+mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for
+requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting
+case sensitive is the default).
+
+Version 1.35
+------------
+Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions
+for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
+specified. Ensure multiplex ids do not collide. Fix case in which
+rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount. Fix truncated
+search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename.
+Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and
+filename was a long filename.
+
Version 1.34
------------
Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
-which do not support Unicode) and also require asterik.
+which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk.
Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
off in the page cache.
Version 1.25
------------
-Fix internationlization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
-longer UTF8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
+Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
+longer UTF-8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
(read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
-as an overrride of comma as the default separator between mount

options.
Version 1.01
Version 1.00
------------
Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
-Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during prototocol negotiation. Handle
+Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during protocol negotiation. Handle
embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
Version 0.99

copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
-protocol response. Fix oops in roepen_file when dentry freed. Allow
+protocol response. Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed. Allow
the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
Version 0.98
Version 0.41
------------
Various minor fixes for Connectathon Posix "basic" file i/o test suite. Directory caching fixed so hardlinked
-files now return the correct rumber of links on fstat as they are repeatedly linked and unlinked.
+files now return the correct number of links on fstat as they are repeatedly linked and unlinked.

and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
7) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
