+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. 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).
+
+
+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.
+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
Version 1.21
------------
-Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (vfs_permission) is done on
-the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
+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
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
+as an override 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
instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
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
-(with or without Unix exentions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
