* Other released stuff

LWP is at version 1.3. As this release only has build related fixes it is
a source-only release. The libraries are still identical to the version 1.1
released binaries that are available on the Coda ftp site.

Solaris-coda kernel code version 0.02. Should now work on Solaris 2.6
and Solaris 2.7, on both sparc and i386.


* Notes

The LWP library is now built and released independently. It can also be
built as a shared library on i386-based platforms which decreases the
total size of the Coda binaries a bit.

When installing the precompiled binaries, you need at least the prepackaged
lwp-1.1 shared libraries. e.g. lwp-1.1-1.i386.rpm on RH Linux.

In order to compile the Coda sources either install lwp-dev-1.1, or build
(and install) lwp from source.

LWP can be found on the Coda ftp site in the same locations as the Coda
binaries and sources.
