+Release Notes for CernVM-FS 2.13.3
+==================================
+
+
+CernVM-FS 2.13.2 is again a fairly voluminous patch release. Most importantly fixes a race in auto-mount/unmounts that could hang the client process.
+As a failsafe, it also adds a config option CVMFS_PREMOUNT_FUSE that can be set to "no" to go back to 2.12 behavior of using fusermount to mount cvmfs.
+Furthermore this patch release includes a bugfix for garbage collection on stratum 1s - now the garbage collection should really be skipped
+if it is not needed (because it has not been run on the stratum 0).
+
+
+As with previous releases, upgrading clients should be seamless just by
+installing the new package from the repository. As usual, we recommend updating only a few worker nodes first and gradually ramp up once the new version proves
+to work correctly. Please take special care when upgrading a cvmfs client in NFS mode.
+
+For Stratum 1 servers, there should be no running snapshots during the upgrade.
+For publisher and gateway nodes, all transactions must be closed; no active leases must be present before upgrading.
+
+
