<p>The glusterfs 3.12.5 got released on Jan 12th 2018. Apologies for
not sending the announcement mail on time<br>
<br>
Release notes for the release can be found at [4].
<br>
<br>
We still carry following major issue that is reported in the
release-notes as follows,
<br>
<br>
1.) - Expanding a gluster volume that is sharded may cause file
corruption
<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
The last known cause for corruption (Bug #1465123) has a fix
with this release. As further testing is still in progress, the
issue is retained as a major issue.
<br>
<br>
Status of this bug can be tracked here, #1465123
<br>
<br>
Thanks,
<br>

<p>Hi, <br>
<br>
It's time to prepare the 3.12.5 release, which falls on the 10th
of <br>
each month, and hence would be 12-01-2018 this time around. <br>
<br>
This mail is to call out the following, <br>
<br>
1) Are there any pending <b class="moz-txt-star"><span
class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>blocker<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b>
bugs that need to be tracked for <br>
3.12.5? If so mark them against the provided tracker [1] as
blockers <br>
for the release, or at the very least post them as a response to
this <br>
mail <br>
<br>
2) Pending reviews in the 3.12 dashboard will be part of the
release, <br>
<b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>iff<span
class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> they pass regressions and
have the review votes, so use the <br>
dashboard [2] to check on the status of your patches to 3.12 and
get <br>
these going <br>
<br>
3) I have made checks on what went into 3.10 post 3.12 release
and if <br>
these fixes are already included in 3.12 branch, then status on
this is <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>green<span
class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> <br>
as all fixes ported to 3.10, are ported to 3.12 as well. <br>
</p>
Thanks, <br>
Jiffin <br>
