Corosync has had a great 2009!  We have released our first major (X
stream) version 1.0.0, two Y stream enhancements, and several Z stream
bugfixes.  During this time we have had great adoption of our software
through a majority of distributions, and integration into third party
software vendor's products.

Rounding out 2009, The major features of Corosync 1.2.0 are:
* A closed process group communication API
* A quorum engine
* Infiniband and Ethernet native transport support
* An in memory database for storing diagnostics and configuration
  information
* Diagnostics to help in tuning and failure analysis
* A simple availability manager which provides single cpg 
  process restart
* Significant tuning around performance and scale.

I would appreciate developers now to start thinking about 3 major
efforts for our long term success:

* Regression Test Suite
A testing system that is integrated into the Corosync code base for all
to use would have a huge impact and benefit a large group of
individuals.

* Improved Documentation
Our documentation is a weak point.  We need better man pages and
improved wiki documentation.  A developer guide would also be useful for
our third party software vendors.

* Continue to Lead with Great Innovation
Our roadmap is the lifeblood of our progress.  Please continue to
contribute to our roadmap ideas and help execute the development of the
roadmap.

In the short term, we have one more 1.Y release planned to clear up
loose ends that didn't make it into previous Y releases.  That roadmap
is available on our website.  I'd encourage any interested parties to
contribute your ideas to the roadmap.  After this final Y release of the
1 series, we will continue to release Z bug fix updates, but
developement of the X series will be closed.  We will begin development
of our 2.y.z releases once 1.3.0 is available.

The updated roadmap for 2010 is contained on our website at:

Please feel free to submit roadmap ideas.
