The rate of change for Corosync has been high for some time since 1.0.0 was published in July 2009. Nearly every Linux distribution is shipping projects or products based upon the Corosync 1.y.z series. To provide some sanity for downstream distributions and projects using Corosync APIs, we are halting feature development for the flatiron branch.
From this point forward, with the exception of two self-contained features, only bug fixes will be merged into the flatiron branch. The exception features are: * "udpu" or a transport mode which allows operation in non-multicast environments. * a multicast validation tool to validate the deployment multicast environment Some features which users have requested, such as automatic redundant ring recovery and snmp will be pushed to our next X release because they could be disruptive to the stability of Corosync. Based upon my current experience with distro adoption and experiences with the field, Corosync is ready for production deployments with the exception of the redundant ring feature. I recommend those Corosync 1.2.4 deployments seeking redundant ring support to use bonding. The needle branch is now available for merges from trunk in the repo.
