[Gluster-Maintainers] Release 3.11: Has been Branched (and pending feature notes)

[Shyam]

Hi,

Release 3.11 for gluster has been branched [1] and tagged [2].

We have ~4weeks to release of 3.11, and a week to backport features that 
slipped the branching date (May-5th).

A tracker BZ [3] has been opened for *blockers* of 3.11 release. Request 
that any bug that is determined as a blocker for the release be noted as 
a "blocks" against this bug.

NOTE: Just a heads up, all bugs that are to be backported in the next 4 
weeks need not be reflected against the blocker, *only* blocker bugs 
identified that should prevent the release, need to be tracked against 
this tracker bug.

We are not building beta1 packages, and will build out RC0 packages once 
we cross the backport dates. Hence, folks interested in testing this out 
can either build from the code or wait for (about) a week longer for the 
packages (and initial release notes).

Features tracked as slipped and expected to be backported by 5th May are,

1) [RFE] libfuse rebase to latest? #153 (@amar, @csaba)

2) SELinux support for Gluster Volumes #55 (@ndevos, @jiffin)
   - Needs a +2 on https://review.gluster.org/13762

3) Enhance handleops readdirplus operation to return handles along with 
dirents #174 (@skoduri)

4) Halo - Initial version (@pranith)

Thanks,
Kaushal, Shyam
