[Gluster-devel] Announcing Glusterfs release 3.13.1 (Short Term Maintenance)

[Jiffin Tony Thottan]

The Gluster community is pleased to announce the release of Gluster 
3.13.1 (packages available at [1,2,3]).

Release notes for the release can be found at [4].

We still carry following major issue that is reported in the 
release-notes as follows,

1.) - Expanding a gluster volume that is sharded may cause file corruption

     Sharded volumes are typically used for VM images, if such volumes 
are expanded or possibly contracted (i.e add/remove bricks and 
rebalance) there are reports of VM images getting corrupted.

     The last known cause for corruption (Bug #1515434) has a fix with 
this release. As further testing is still in progress, the issue is 
retained as a major issue.

     Status of this bug can be tracked here, #1515434

Thanks,
Gluster community
