Hello everyone,

Swift 1.4.2 was just released !

You can find tarballs and a complete list of new features and bugfixes
in this release at: https://launchpad.net/swift/diablo/1.4.2

Packages for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, 10.10, 11.04 and Oneiric are available
at: https://launchpad.net/~swift-core/+archive/release

Changelog follows:

* Removed stats/logging code from Swift [now in separate slogging project].

* Object POSTs are implemented as COPYs now by default (you can revert
to previous implementation with conf object_post_as_copy = false)

* You can specify X-Newest: true on GETs and HEADs to indicate you want
Swift to query all backend copies and return the newest version retrieved.

* Object COPY requests now always copy the newest object they can find.

* Account and container GETs and HEADs now shuffle the nodes they use to
balance load.

* Fixed the infinite charset: utf-8 bug

* This fixes the bug that drop_buffer_cache() doesn't work on systems
where off_t isn't 64 bits.
