[Linux-ha-dev] 0.4.5f now on web site...

[Alan Robertson]

Hi,

I've uploaded heartbeat 0.4.5f to the download directory of the web site.
The URLs are what you'd expect:

	http://linux-ha.org/download/heartbeat-0.4.5f.tar.gz
	http://linux-ha.org/download/heartbeat-0.4.5f-1.src.rpm
	http://linux-ha.org/download/heartbeat-0.4.5f-1.i386.rpm

Unless you folks find something wrong with this before Wednesday, this is what I
want in the next release.   If you find important new bugs, I'll fix them.  I
really mean to ship it this time :-)

Since I'm traveling later in the week, I want to release it by Wednesday AM.

Please give it a good going over.

Here are the fixes since the last beta:

	Fix for the problem where the master status process would go
	away.  This is a long-standing problem -- the one that wouldn't core
	dump.  (Hurray!)

	Added code to keep memory allocation stats and dump them daily

	Added code to cause a heartbeat to be sent sooner after restarting

     0.4.5 (this version) IS NOT RELEASED YET!!!

+ Version 0.4.5
  + Mijta Sarp added a new feature to authenticate heartbeat packets
	using a variety of strong authentication techniques
  + Changed resource acquisition and relinquishment on heartbeat shutdown to
    occur in heartbeat, instead of in the start/stop script.  This means you
       don't *really* have to use the start/stop script if you don't want to.
  + Added -k option to gracefully shut down current heartbeat instance
  + Added -r option to cause currently running heartbeat to reread config files
  + Added -s option to report on operational status of "heartbeat"
  + Sped up resource acquisition on master restart.
  + Added validation of ipresources file at startup time.
  + Added code to allow the IPaddr takeover script to be given the
        interface to take over, instead of inferring it.  This was requested
        by Lars Marowsky-Bree
  + Incorporated patch from Guenther Thomsen to implement locking for
        serial ports used for heartbeats
  + Incorporated patch from Guenther Thomsen to clean up logging.
        (you can now use syslog and/or file logs)
  + Improved FreeBSD compatibility.
  + Fixed a bug where the FIFO doesn't get created correctly.
  + Fixed a couple of uninitialized variables in heartbeat and /proc/ha code
  + Fixed longstanding crash bug related to getting a SIGALRM while in malloc
	or free.
  + Implemented new memory management scheme, including memory stats
