<pre wrap="">Hi,
I have posted an initial draft version of the release notes here [1].
I would like to *suggest* the following contributors to help improve and
finish the release notes by 06th Feb, 2017. As you read this mail, if
you feel you cannot contribute, do let us know, so that we can find the
appropriate contributors for the same.

<pre wrap="">Reminder (1)
Request a response if you would be able to provide the release notes.
Release notes itself can come in later.
Helps plan for contingency in case you are unable to generate the
required notes.
Thanks!

There is a pending work for this w.r.t rolling upgrade support. I
hope to work on this next week, but I cannot commit anything looking
at other things in my queue :(.<br>
To add more clarity, for fresh setup (clients + servers) in 4.0,
enabling FIPS works fine. But we need to handle case of old servers
and new clients and vice versa. If this can be considered a bug fix,
then here is my attempt at the release notes for this fix:<br>
<br>
"Previously, if gluster was run on a FIPS enabled system, it used to
crash because gluster used MD5 checksum in various places like
self-heal and geo-rep. This has been fixed by replacing MD5 with
SHA256 which is FIPS compliant."<br>
<br>
I'm happy to update the above text in doc/release-notes/4.0.0.md and
send it on gerrit for review.<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Ravi<br>
