*PLEASE NOTE:* Some ChangeLog entries were added after
v1_8_3_RC1 was tagged.  The missing entries are included in
the wiki change log link above.

Here are some items that may interest you in this release:

* Fix MDS crash when using open-unlinked directories. This
problem was a regression introduced in 1.8.2.
https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22177

* The lustre client uses current->journal_info to pass
locking information down to lower layers. This can trigger
a kernel oops under memory pressure.
https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22035

* Some "lfs" commands can now be run as a non-privileged
user again.
https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22127

* The 1.8.2 client can sometimes try to reconnect too
aggressively, flooding the server with CONNECT requests.
Reconnects are now rate limited.
https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22423

* RHEL5.4 kernel update
Kernel update to OEL5.4 2.6.16-164.11.1.0.1.el5

As always, you can report issues via Bugzilla:

Our next anticipated release is Lustre 1.8.4 in late July 2010.
