A new version of Coda, release 5.3.8 is available.

Usual location
    ftp://ftp.coda.cs.cmu.edu/pub/coda/...

Coda clients and servers have been built successfully on i386, ARM, PPC,
and SPARC processors, on FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, and Linux.


BUGFIXES
--------
  Client related.
    - Venus rotates it's logfiles when SIGHUP is sent.

  Server related.
    - volutil restore bugfix (Ulrich Kahn).
    - Improved server setup scripts (Phil Nelson).
    - Hopefully more reliable createvol_rep script (Phil Nelson).
    - Only need to run updatesrv on the SCM.
    - Fixed a server bug that occurs after 1024 clients have connected.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING SERVERS
----------------------------
The createvol_rep script is using a new way of obtaining VolumeLists
from the servers. This removed the need for running updatesrv on
non-SCM Coda servers, but makes it impossible to create new volumes
on 5.3.8 servers from a 5.3.7 SCM or vice-versa.

REQUIRED PACKAGES FOR INSTALLATION
----------------------------------
Required files for a typical Coda client installation on a RedHat linux
machine. 

  Coda client:
    - lwp-1.4-1.i386.rpm
    - rpc2-1.5-1.i386.rpm
    - rvm-1.1-1.i386.rpm
    - coda-debug-client-5.3.8-1.i386.rpm

  Coda server:
    - lwp-1.4-1.i386.rpm
    - rpc2-1.5-1.i386.rpm
    - rvm-1.1-1.i386.rpm
   >- rvm-tools-1.1-1.i386.rpm
    - coda-debug-server-5.3.8-1.i386.rpm

BUILDING CODA
-------------
- First build _and install_ lwp.
- Then build and install rpc2 and rvm.

 (or install [lwp,rpc2,rvm]-dev-x.x-1.i386.rpm)

- After that the main Coda tree should be able to find the libraries and
  build just fine.
