Just a quick note to say that the packages at
   http://software.opensuse.org/download/server:/ha-clustering
were refreshed today after sufficiently (see pending bugs below) passing automated testing.

This will be the last interim release for 2007. I hope they've been useful and we'll be back again in 2008.


The current version is 2.1.2-24.1 for .rpm and 2.1.2-24 for .deb
Note: Debian and Ubuntu7.10 packages are now also available for x64.

The source for this version can be obtained from:
  http://hg.beekhof.net/lha/crm-dev/archive/obs-2.1.2-24.tar.bz2


The most important crm-related additions in this release are:
- master placement and colocation
- throttling of the TE to avoid pushing heartbeat beyond its limits
- fix for an additional shutdown hang when crm_resource -C is used
See the change log below for a full list of changes.


Some stats on the changes since the previous build (obs-2.1.2-15):
