[Pacemaker] Announcement: new releases for cluster-glue (1.0.4), resource-agents (1.0.3), and heartbeat (3.0.3)

[Dejan Muhamedagic]

Hello,

The new releases of cluster glue (1.0.4), resource agents
(1.0.3), and Heartbeat (3.0.3) are finally ready. It took us a
whole week more to put the final touches, apologies if that
caused any inconvenience. I guess that the schedule was a bit too
tight this time.

The highlights:

- cluster-glue

  - interaction between crmd and lrmd changed a bit as of
	Pacemaker 1.0.8 (affects only resource cleanups)
  - new external/ippower9258 stonith plugin (thanks to Helmut
	Weymann)
  - hb_report now creates .dot and .png files for the PE input
	files and packing CTS tests is more convenient

- resource-agents

  - timeouts in meta-data were reviewed and adjusted in all
	resource agents; that should make the Pacemaker 1.0.8 crm
	shell less noisy
  - all agents now print messages which would normally go to the
	system logs to the terminal if invoked from the command line;
	that should make resource debugging easier
  - a new ocft RA test suite (thanks to John Shi)

- Heartbeat

  - support for setting the lrmd max children parameter
  - support for sbd fencing

Of course, there's also a bunch of bug fixes, in particular in
the agents and glue packages. See the changelogs for more
details.

If you're already running Pacemaker 1.0.8 or planning to upgrade
to that release, it would be a good idea to upgrade these
releases as well. Of course, don't forget to first test the new
packages on your test clusters.

Enjoy!
