It has been a few months since the last cifs-utils release. There
hasn't been much activity, but there are a few bugfixes that we ought
to get into a release.

So, nothing much earth-shattering here, mostly just bugfixes and
documentation updates. With this release too, support for NFS-style
devicenames has now been removed (as previously announced via a warning
at mount time):

Go forth and download!

    mount.cifs: set parsed_info->got_user when a cred file supplies a username
    
    commit 85d18a1ed introduced a regression when using a credentials file.
    It set the username in the parsed mount info properly, but didn't set
    the "got_user" flag in it.
    
    Also, fix an incorrect strlcpy length specifier in open_cred_file.

    setcifsacl: fix offset calculation in "set" code
    
    Previously the code assumed that the ACE that was copied was of a
    fixed size. Save off the return value from copy_ace and ensure that
    we apply it correctly to the size and offset.

commit d1d96fafe50b04395ff3ee4590777452e6612e02
Author: Jeff Layton <jlayton at samba.org>

    cifs-utils: add autoconf test to make sure that libwbclient is usable
    
    The idmapwb plugin requires a usable wbcSidsToUnixIds() function. Check
    to ensure that the wbclient library provides that symbol, and handle
    it appropriately if it doesn't.
    
    If someone were so inclined they probably could fix idmapwb to fall
    back to the older mapping functions if that symbol doesn't exist,
    but for now this patch just makes it refuse to build the plugin.
