arla 0.17 has been released to the unsuspecting world and can be found at
ftp://ftp.stacken.kth.se/pub/arla/arla-0.17.tar.gz or
/afs/stacken.kth.se/ftp/pub/arla/arla-0.17.tar.gz

Changes in release 0.17:

* new graphical program `amon' for monitoring the state of the cache.

* `fs xfsdebug' and `fs arladebug' for manipulating the details of the
  debug output.

* more warning messages from arla (when credentials expire, hosts go
  up and down, volumes are busy, ...)

* keep track of which servers are up and down, probe them periodically
  and fallback to servers that are up.

* more test-cases

* work-around a bug in Linux 2.1.131 that made it impossible to have
  filenames with 8bit characters

* correct timestamps (use ClientModTime instead of ServerModTime)

* bug fixes

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Try testing it on your favorite OS and tell us if it fails to build of
any of the tests in the test-suite fail.
