      The Top 3 New Swift Features in OpenStack Folsom
      <http://swiftstack.com/blog/2012/09/27/top-three-swift-features-in-openstack-folsom/>

There has been a ton of activity in and around Swift throughout the
Folsom release cycle. Swift has moved from version 1.4.8 in the Essex
release to version 1.7.4 in the Folsom release. Some of the new features
added in the Folsom release include the integration of Keystone
middleware, the separation of the Swift CLI and client library so Glance
can more easily integrate with Swift to store Nova images.

Swift has also added many new features to its core storage engine. Find
out about it from SwiftStack Team.
