Major changes, features and limitations addressed in this release

No Major changes

Major issues

  1. Expanding a gluster volume that is sharded may cause file corruption
  2. Sharded volumes are typically used for VM images, if such volumes are expanded or possibly contracted (i.e add/remove bricks and rebalance) there are reports of VM images getting corrupted.
  3. The last known cause for corruption #1498081 is still pending, and not yet a part of this release.
  4. Brick multiplexing is being tested and fixed aggressively but we still have a few crashes and memory leaks to fix.
