From srangana at redhat.com Thu Mar 21 11:06:33 2019 From: srangana at redhat.com (Shyam Ranganathan) Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2019 07:06:33 -0400 Subject: Announcing Gluster release 5.5 Message-ID: <71be9d39-2794-bfab-ba58-6b904d22e1a1@redhat.com> The Gluster community is pleased to announce the release of Gluster 5.5 (packages available at [1]). Release notes for the release can be found at [3]. Major changes, features and limitations addressed in this release: - Release 5.4 introduced an incompatible change that prevented rolling upgrades, and hence was never announced to the lists. As a result we are jumping a release version and going to 5.5 from 5.3, that does not have the problem. Thanks, Gluster community [1] Packages for 5.5: https://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/5/5.5/ [2] Release notes for 5.5: https://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/release-notes/5.5/ From srangana at redhat.com Mon Mar 25 14:28:40 2019 From: srangana at redhat.com (Shyam Ranganathan) Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2019 10:28:40 -0400 Subject: Announcing Gluster Release 6 Message-ID: The Gluster community is pleased to announce the release of 6.0, our latest release.

It also resolved rolling upgrade issues in a hyperconverged ovirt cluster for me, so I recommend moving it out of testing. Thanks for the info! Packages have been pushed to the CentOS mirrors yesterday already. Some mirrors take a little more time to catch up, but I expect that all have the update by now.
