GlusterFS 3.8.15 is available, likely the last 3.8 update

   The next Long-Term-Maintenance release for Gluster is around the
corner. Once GlusterFS-3.12 is available, the oldest maintained version
(3.8) will be retired and no maintenance updates are planned. With this
last update to GlusterFS-3.8 a few more bugs have been fixed.

   Packages for this release will become available for the different
distributions and their versions listed on the community packages page.
