+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.
+
+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.
+Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
+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 asterisk.
+Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
+off in the page cache.
+
+Version 1.33
+------------
+Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
+which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
+without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
+file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
+Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
+terminated.
+
+
+Version 1.32
+------------
+Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
+transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
+Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
+as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
+unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
+POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
+different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
+cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
+filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
+of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
+Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
+oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
+current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
+Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
+(significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
+processes accessing the same server at the same time).
+
+Version 1.31
+------------
+Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
+do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
+cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
+shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
+consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
+specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
+and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
+for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
+provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
+sharename).
+
+Version 1.30
+------------
+Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
+Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
+(mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
+Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
+Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
+
+Version 1.29
+------------
+Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
+Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
+
+Version 1.28
+------------
+Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
+from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
+when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
+returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
+SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
+peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
+Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
+longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
+from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
+
+Version 1.27
+------------
+Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
+(unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
+file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
+waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
+reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
+minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
+and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
+
+Version 1.26
+------------
+Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
+and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
+to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
+improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
+
+Version 1.25
+------------
+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
+the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
+
+Version 1.24
+------------
+Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
+ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
+to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
+
+Version 1.23
+------------
+Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
+network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
+to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
+as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
+
+Version 1.22
+------------
+Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
+xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
+minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
+or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
+
+Version 1.21
+------------
+Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
+on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
+and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
+server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
+normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
+on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
+override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
+and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
+user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
+using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
+
+Version 1.20
+------------
+Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
+info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
+(in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
+(block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
+credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
+inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
+
+Version 1.19
+------------
+Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
+amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
+is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
+Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
+session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
+of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
+Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
+kills the thread without going through unmount.
+
+Version 1.18
+------------
+Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
+cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
+except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
+to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
+reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
+client.
+
+
+Version 1.17
+------------
+Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
+blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
+Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
+Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
+cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
+checks in cifs_filldir
+
+Version 1.16
+------------
+Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
+Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
+and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
+for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
+volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
+affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
+path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
+
+Version 1.15
+------------
+Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
+to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
+
+Version 1.14
+------------
+Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
+extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
+rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
+
