+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).
+
+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
Version 1.25
------------
-Fix internationlization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
+Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
longer UTF8 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
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.

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 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.

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
