Today we have released Swift 1.9.1 (RC1).
The tarball for the RC is at http://tarballs.openstack.org/swift/swift-milestone-proposed.tar.gz
This release was initially prompted by a bug found by Peter Portante (https://bugs.launchpad.net/swift/+bug/1196932) and includes a patch for it. All clusters are recommended to upgrade to this new release. As always, you can upgrade to this version of Swift with no end-user downtime.
In addition to the patch mentioned above, this release contains a few other important features:
* The default worker count has changed from 1 to auto. The new default value will for workers in the proxy, container, account & object wsgi servers will spawn as many workers per process as you have cpu cores.
* A "reveal_sensitive_prefix" config parameter was added to the proxy_logging config. This value allows the auth token to be obscured in the logs.
* The Keystone middleware will now enforce that the reseller_prefix ends in an underscore. Previously, this was a recommendation, and now it is enforced.
There are several other changes in this release. I'd encourage you to read the full changelog at https://github.com/openstack/swift/blob/master/CHANGELOG.
On the community side, this release includes the work of 7 new contributors. They are:
Alistair Coles (alistair.coles@hp.com) Thomas Leaman (thomas.leaman@hp.com) Dirk Mueller (dirk@dmllr.de) Newptone (xingchao@unitedstack.com) Jon Snitow (otherjon@swiftstack.com) TheSriram (sriram@klusterkloud.com) Koert van der Veer (koert@cloudvps.com)
Thanks to everyone for your hard work. I'm very happy with where Swift is and where we are going together.
