Discussion
==========
Last few changes for OpenAFS 1.8.15 in review.
Ben is reviewing AIX changes for 1.8.15.
Cheyenne pushed changes to gerrit for Linux 6.18 support (which has already
GA'd)
Cheyenne reports changes for Linux 6.19 look to be small.
A change to support libfuse3 is in progress (gerrit 16639) and may be ready
for 1.8.15
Gerrit 16631 addresses the bug report RT 133564 (rare assertion during startup)
and is targeted for 1.8.15
Changes to cleanup pts have been merged to the master branch (free
memory, close file handles before exit). These probably do not warrant
backporting to 1.8.x.
Changes to be reviewed: 16620, 16621 (remove individual tokens with unlog)
Reminder to review gerrit 16556 for openafs-web (Add OpenAFS relicensing
information)
