The changes since beta 4 include some cleanup of ubik behavior to
avoid transactions that we know will fail, improving the RedHat
packaging, fixing a rare deadlock on old Linux kernel versions,
partially fixing a deadlock on Solaris, improving compatibility with
glibc 2.26, some debugging aids for Solaris clients, improvements to
FreeBSD support, and excluding RXGEN_OPCODE aborts from the
threshold towards throttling misbehaving clients of the fileserver.
This is a release candidate for the final version of 1.8.0.
Please assist the guardians by deploying and testing this release and
providing positive or negative feedback. Bug reports should be filed
to [email protected] ; reports of successes should be sent to
[email protected].
