Yes, only the kernel-userspace interface was changed, client-server
communication is still identical.

Coda 6.0 servers should be more stable, no big features were added and
some bugs got fixed. The first couple of 6.0 client releases were still
shaking the bugs out of some new code (realms). I believe that the 6.0.3
client (and definitely the current code in CVS) has finally fixed most
realm related issues.
