+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).
+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.
