+Version 1.57
+------------
+Improve support for multiple security contexts to the same server. We
+used to use the same "vcnumber" for all connections which could cause
+the server to treat subsequent connections, especially those that
+are authenticated as guest, as reconnections, invalidating the earlier
+user's smb session. This fix allows cifs to mount multiple times to the
+same server with different userids without risking invalidating earlier
+established security contexts.
+
+Version 1.56
+------------
+Add "forcemandatorylock" mount option to allow user to use mandatory
+rather than posix (advisory) byte range locks, even though server would
+support posix byte range locks. Fix query of root inode when prefixpath
+specified and user does not have access to query information about the
+top of the share. Fix problem in 2.6.28 resolving DFS paths to
+Samba servers (worked to Windows). Fix rmdir so that pending search
+(readdir) requests do not get invalid results which include the now
+removed directory. Fix oops in cifs_dfs_ref.c when prefixpath is not reachable
+when using DFS. Add better file create support to servers which support
+the CIFS POSIX protocol extensions (this adds support for new flags
+on create, and improves semantics for write of locked ranges).
+
+Version 1.55
+------------
+Various fixes to make delete of open files behavior more predictable
+(when delete of an open file fails we mark the file as "delete-on-close"
+in a way that more servers accept, but only if we can first rename the
+file to a temporary name). Add experimental support for more safely
+handling fcntl(F_SETLEASE). Convert cifs to using blocking tcp
+sends, and also let tcp autotune the socket send and receive buffers.
+This reduces the number of EAGAIN errors returned by TCP/IP in
+high stress workloads (and the number of retries on socket writes
+when sending large SMBWriteX requests). Fix case in which a portion of
+data can in some cases not get written to the file on the server before the
+file is closed. Fix DFS parsing to properly handle path consumed field,
+and to handle certain codepage conversions better. Fix mount and
+umount race that can cause oops in mount or umount or reconnect.
+
+Version 1.54
+------------
+Fix premature write failure on congested networks (we would give up
+on EAGAIN from the socket too quickly on large writes).
+Cifs_mkdir and cifs_create now respect the setgid bit on parent dir.
+Fix endian problems in acl (mode from/to cifs acl) on bigendian
+architectures. Fix problems with preserving timestamps on copying open
+files (e.g. "cp -a") to Windows servers. For mkdir and create honor setgid bit
+on parent directory when server supports Unix Extensions but not POSIX
+create. Update cifs.upcall version to handle new Kerberos sec flags
+(this requires update of cifs.upcall program from Samba). Fix memory leak
+on dns_upcall (resolving DFS referralls). Fix plain text password
+authentication (requires setting SecurityFlags to 0x30030 to enable
+lanman and plain text though). Fix writes to be at correct offset when
+file is open with O_APPEND and file is on a directio (forcediretio) mount.
+Fix bug in rewinding readdir directory searches. Add nodfs mount option.
+
+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.
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.
+enabled. Fix memory leak in FindNext when the SMB call returns -EBADF.
