Release Notes:

* Major bug fixes
    * [Client/Cl] Properly allocate buffers for error messages.
      (issue #136)
    * [Client/Cl] Check if there is enough data before unmarshalling.
    * [Client/Cl] Fix a memory leak in MessageUtils::WaitForResponse
      affecting all synchronous calls.
    * [Client/Cl] Prevent a segfault in the destructor when called
      after the libXrdCl library has been finalized by the linker -
      ROOT garbage collection.
      https://github.com/cms-externals/xrootd/pull/1
    * [Client/Posix] Fix broken readdir_r() and readdir_r64() functions.
    * [Server] Use correct flag when adding a cluster. The bug made it
      impossible to have more than one supervisor node.
    * [Server/Logrotate] Prevent stack corruption by correctly sizing
      the timestamp buffer.

+ Minor bug fixes
    * [Client/Cl] Properly check if a recursive copy was requested
      to avoid unnecessarily stating the source.
    * [Client/Cl] Avoid inserting duplicate entries to HostList when
      retrying at the same server.
    * [Client/Cl] Normalize (trim leading zeroes) before comparing
      adler and crc checksums. (issue #139)
    * [Client/Posix] Prevent mkdir failure in a clustered environment
      by creating the full directory path by default.
    * [Client/Possix] Fix a memory leak when doing deep locate.
    * [Server/Logrotate] Use expect to send a ping to pipes. This
      prevents logrotate from hanging when nobody is listening at
      the other end of the pipe.
    * [Authentication/Client] Pass the external environment to the
      protocol manager. (issue #133)
    * [Authentication/sss] Fix a memory leak.
    * [Utils] Avoid SEGV when assigning a unix domain address to a
      NetAddrInfo object previously used to hold a TCP domain address.
    * [Server/cmsd] Use the same write selection rules for dfs and
      non-dfs environments.

+ Miscellaneous
    * [Server/Logrotate] Prevent the default configuration from sending
      emails to admins and from creating a new log after the old one has
      been rotated. (issue #135)
    * [Server/SELinux] Using expect in logrotate requires the logrotate_t
      context to have access to pseudoterminals and tmpfs as well as
      stating fifos
    * [Client/Commandline Parser] Allow local to local copy in new xrdcp
      but not in the old one.
    * [Client/Cl] Discard a whole cluster on failure in federation
      context. (issue #132)
