[Linux-ha-dev] Heartbeat version 0.4.8g

[Alan Robertson]

Hi,

Beta version 0.4.8g of heartbeat is now on the web site.  Give it a shot and
let me know how it works for you.  The Changelog from 0.4.7 is below.  As
you can see, a lot of things were changed since then.  The changes since
0.4.8f are mainly bug fixes.

  + Baytech Stonith code now retries failed login sequences
  + Set close-on-exec bit in watchdog open code...

Plus, if it can't allocate the desired group ID (which unfortunately matches
the ID for Piranha), then it gets whatever it can ;-)

Folks, this is the release candidate for 0.4.9.  Please give it a good
testing.

	Thanks!!
