+Version 1.53
+------------
+DFS support added (Microsoft Distributed File System client support needed
+for referrals which enable a hierarchical name space among servers).
+Disable temporary caching of mode bits to servers which do not support
+storing of mode (e.g. Windows servers, when client mounts without cifsacl
+mount option) and add new "dynperm" mount option to enable temporary caching
+of mode (enable old behavior).  Fix hang on mount caused when server crashes
+tcp session during negotiate protocol.

+Version 1.52
+------------
+Fix oops on second mount to server when null auth is used.
+Enable experimental Kerberos support.  Return writebehind errors on flush
+and sync so that events like out of disk space get reported properly on
+cached files. Fix setxattr failure to certain Samba versions. Fix mount
+of second share to disconnected server session (autoreconnect on this).
+Add ability to modify cifs acls for handling chmod (when mounted with
+cifsacl flag). Fix prefixpath path separator so we can handle mounts
+with prefixpaths longer than one directory (one path component) when
+mounted to Windows servers.  Fix slow file open when cifsacl
+enabled. Fix memory leak in FindNext when the SMB call returns -EBADF.
