+- moved exported pvfs2-util string functions to private str-utils
+- added permission checking debugging mask and keyword to debug what the
+  server is doing on permission granting or failure
+- modified cosmetic output of admin tool pvfs2-set-debugmask
+- make sure pvfs2-client doesn't cause a hang on ssh logout due to improperly

+- increased the default handle re-use timeout from 45 to 360 seconds
+- removed redefinition of the default handle timeout constant
+- change permissions to reasonable defaults on newly created directories
+  using pvfs2-mkdir

+- extended pvfs2-cp to allow symlinks to be copied to and from pvfs2 (as

+- added some gossip debugging along the acache code path
+- kernel bugfixes:
+  - don't attempt to shrink the sb's dcache on device close in the case
+    that the sb has not yet been filled
+  - translate error codes that occurred while waiting for the downcall,
+    rather than assuming an error came back from the downcall (in the case
+    that it didn't); fixes a possible oops on invalid mounts
+  - use 64-bit op tags instead of relying on unreliable casts and
+    assumptions moving from kernel space to userspace
+- changed pre-posted write_ack recv posting to have an infinite timeout
+  that is reset on flow completion to avoid timeouts before operation
+  completion
+- fixed crash bugs when an invalid (or unsupported) encoding type is
+  specified by reporting the error to the user, and the completing the
+  operation if possible by cycling through the valid encoders
+- added pvfs2tab support for the line encoding=default
