    <p>The Gluster community is pleased to announce the release of
      Gluster 3.12.1 (packages available at [1,2,3]).
      <br>
      <br>
      Release notes for the release can be found at [4]. </p>
    <p>We still carry a major issue that is reported in the
      release-notes as follows,
      <br>
      <br>
      - 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>
    </p>

      Thanks,
