+- Support for delayed-ack is now compiled in by default. Prior to this
+  it had to be enabled at compile time via --enable-delayed-acks. The
+  default value for delayed-ack, however, has been changed from 28 to 0
+  (i.e. disabled).  This was done to minimize the impact on users not
+  currently using the feature.  Please note that the delayed-ack feature
+  is not currently compatible with support for DHPCv4o6 (compiled out by
+  default).  You must compile with one or the other but not both.

 - Corrected an issue where the server would return a client's previously

 Similarly, \fImicroseconds\fR indicates how many microseconds are permitted
 to pass inbetween queuing a packet pending an fsync, and performing the
 fsync.  Valid values range from 0 to 2^32-1, and defaults to 250,000 (1/4 of
 a second).
