1.5.75 is a necessary upgrade for sites which have taken the MS10-020 update on Windows hosts, as this update did further validation of SMB traffic which was incompatible with previous versions of the OpenAFS client.

OpenAFS is a challenging project to develop for. It is a large and complex project that has developed over nearly 3 decades. The code must work across a wide variety of different operating systems, and is heavily multi-threaded in places. On Unix, the OpenAFS client runs within the machine’s kernel, which can significantly complicate the development process. As an enterprise product, OpenAFS relies upon significant underlying infrastructure, which a developer needs to get running before they can test any OpenAFS code. In addition, OpenAFS is primarily written in C, with all of the attendant issues of memory management and pointer manipulation.
