Hello everyone, Last but not least, Swift just published its first Icehouse release candidate. You can find the tarball for 1.13.1-rc1 at: https://launchpad.net/swift/icehouse/1.13.1-rc1 Unless release-critical issues are found that warrant a release candidate respin, this RC1 will be formally released together with all other OpenStack integrated components as the Swift 1.13.1 final version on April 17. You are therefore strongly encouraged to test and validate this tarball. Alternatively, you can directly test the milestone-proposed branch at: https://github.com/openstack/swift/tree/milestone-proposed If you find an issue that could be considered release-critical, please file it at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/swift/+filebug and tag it *icehouse-rc-potential* to bring it to the release crew's attention.
