[ANNOUNCE] autofs 5.0.9 release

[Ian Kent]

Hi all,

Here is a bug fix release for autofs.

For those that have clones of the git repository the master branch
will progress to autofs-5.1.0 and autofs-5.0 will continue to be
updated with bug fixes (and periodic releases) on the new branch
autofs-5.0-stable.

For those that have git clones that include the branch autofs-5.0
you probably want to prune your remote as that branch has been
deleted.
