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 at hp.com) Thomas Leaman (thomas.leaman at hp.com) Dirk Mueller (dirk at dmllr.de) Newptone (xingchao at unitedstack.com) Jon Snitow (otherjon at swiftstack.com) TheSriram (sriram at klusterkloud.com) Koert van der Veer (koert at cloudvps.com) Thanks to everyone for your hard work. I'm very happy with where Swift is and where we are going together. --John -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
