  + When writing a checkpoint file of the reintegration log took
    longer than the checkpoint interval, we would immediately start
    writing out a new checkpoint, looping indefinitly. (Paolo
    Casanova)
  + Checkpointing failed when the reintegration log contained an empty file.
  + Truncate cache file when lookaside lookup fails to avoid the
    following fetch from assuming we already successfully fetched some
    of the data.
  + Make sure we wake up blocked threads when a fetch fails.
  + Only close the shadow file descriptor during reintegration if we
    actually opened it.
  + Return permission error when a user tries to rmdir a mountpoint.
  + Do not flush kernel caches whenever we check if a file is in use.
  + gcodacon improvements, notification rate limiting and window
    placement. (Benjamin Gilbert)
  + Reduce server->client RPC2 timeout from 60 to 30 seconds, reduces the
    time a client is blocked while callbacks are broken.
  + Introduce stricter locking on the server->client callback connections.
  + Make sure clients cannot indefinitely keep a callback break RPC busy
    preventing it from completing.
  + Write a stack backtrace to the log when an assertion fails.
  + Don't create /etc/modules.conf on newer Linux kernels (Adam Goode)
