Subject: [ANNOUNCE] autofs 5.1.9 release
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Precedence: bulk

Hi all,

A release is long overdue so here it is, autofs-5.1.9.

There are quite a lot of changes in the release but they are mostly
bug fixes arising from a number significant improvements done over
the last several releases.

Some general performance overheads have crept in over quite a while
and work has been done to improve on it but once the obvious is done
it gets much harder to improve, so that's ongoing as time permits.

autofs
