[Rinku Kothiya]

Hi,

The Gluster community is pleased to announce the release of Gluster8.1
(packages available at [1]).
Release notes for the release can be found at [2].

Major changes, features, improvements and limitations addressed in this
release:

 - Performance improvement over the creation of large files - VM disks in
oVirt by bringing down trivial lookups of non-existent shards. Issue (#1425)
 - Fsync in the replication module uses eager-lock functionality which
improves the performance of VM workloads with an improvement of more than
50% in small-block of approximately 4kb with write heavy workloads. Issue
(#1253)


Thanks,
Gluster community
