These are the release notes, also available as a reader friendly blog post:
- http://blog.nixpanic.net/2014/07/testers-needed-for-glusterfs-352beta1.html

And a Gerrit review:
- http://review.gluster.org/8339

Please test the fixes for the listed bugs. In case your bug is not 
listed here, it is unlikely to get fixed in GlusterFS-3.5.2. For 
extremely critical issues, respond to this email with a link to the bug 
in question, and we'll try to get a fix for that included.

Thanks in advance for any testing,
Niels

### Known Issues:

- The following configuration changes are necessary for qemu and samba
  integration with libgfapi to work seamlessly:

   1. `gluster volume set <volname> server.allow-insecure on`
   2. restarting the volume is necessary

       ~~~
       gluster volume stop <volname>
       gluster volume start <volname>
       ~~~

   3. Edit `/etc/glusterfs/glusterd.vol` to contain this line:

       ~~~
       option rpc-auth-allow-insecure on
       ~~~

   4. restarting glusterd is necessary

       ~~~
       service glusterd restart
       ~~~

   More details are also documented in the Gluster Wiki on the [Libgfapi with qemu libvirt](http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Libgfapi_with_qemu_libvirt) page.

- For Block Device translator based volumes open-behind translator at the client side needs to be disabled.

- libgfapi clients calling `glfs_fini` before a successfull `glfs_init` will cause the client to
  hang as reported [here](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gluster-devel/2014-04/msg00179.html).
  The workaround is NOT to call `glfs_fini` for error cases encountered before a successfull
  `glfs_init`.

- If the `/var/run/gluster` directory does not exist enabling quota will likely fail ([Bug 1117888](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1117888)).
