[Gluster-devel] IMP: Release 3.10 beta1 tagging (day-to-day slip and updates)

[Shyam]

Hi,

Before the release of 3.10 beta1, we are awaiting the merge of the 
following commits on master, and a backport of the same into the 3.10 
branch. All these commits relate to the brick multiplexing feature, and 
hence I request concerned developers attention towards reviewing the 
same and providing the required review scores.

# Patches pending review/merge and backport:
- https://review.gluster.org/14763 (core: run many bricks within one 
glusterfsd process)

- https://review.gluster.org/15645 (libglusterfs: make memory pools more 
thread-friendly)

- https://review.gluster.org/15745 (libglusterfs+transport+io-threads: 
fix 256KB stack abuse)

# Release notes pending:
We further need release notes per feature updated in the 3.10.0 release 
notes. This [1] is an initial commit for the same, I will be merging it 
if the regressions pass, else request Raghavendra Talur to nurture it in 
the IST TZ, so that others can start adding commits that update this page.

When doing so, please use the BZ as in [2] for the commit.

Please try an update the release notes for your feature ASAP, so that we 
do not hold back beta1 for the same.

# Current beta1 target date: 01-Feb-2017

# Further schedule
Once we have beta1 ready, we would need to get testing feedback from the 
community, and also testing feedback from the maintainers before 
releasing. Your assistance and timeliness in this phase is needed, to 
get a quality release out, so request some attention on testing in the 
near future.

Thanks,
Shyam
