[Openais] [ANNOUNCE] openais 0.68 available for download

[Steven Dake]

There have been some significant improvements in this development-ready
with conformance release of openais 0.68.

Feature additions:
------------------
* It is now possible to configure frame size used by the totem protocol.
* It is now possible to configure security and authentication on and
off.
* Large frame sizes have been enabled and tested and provides about 80%
performance improvement for large messages sent over totem.
* A new configuration option version: is used to specify the version of
the configuration file and is required.
* multicast socket transmit and receive kernel buffer size set to
maximum number of frames that could be submitted by one token holder.
* Start of totem redundant ring available for review.
* Significant reorg of totem code to prepare for ipv6 and totem rrp
support.
* a random number now populates the top 32 bits of the handle
identifier.  This is used to verify that the handle is actually the
correct handle by checking the instance data for that random number.

Bug Fixes
* A critical bug in ipc resulting in client lockup under heavy load
resolved.
* A serious bug in the event service would reject received events after
2^32 event id because the duplication detection code was wrong.
* A serious bug in the event service was fixed which requires a library
call to complete for an unlink even if it was previously deleted.

The configuration file format has changed slightly.  Please re-read
openais.conf.5 in the man directory to understand the new options
available.  A new "version: 1" option is required to be specified in the
totem{} or network{} directive.
