[Openais] [ANNOUNCEMENT] Corosync 0.90 and Openais 0.90 released!

[Steven Dake]

I am excited and pleased to announce the release of the Corosync Cluster
Engine 0.90 as well as a version of openais which plugs in on top of the
Corosync Cluster Engine.

This effort will allow us to multiply our development efforts and focus
our collective development on features we deem most important.

The Corosync Cluster Engine retains the confdb, evs, cpg, and cfg apis.
The remaining SA Forum APIs exist in the openais source package.

The documentation at this point is a little sparse but essentially
openais users must now set an environment variable:

balance# export COROSYNC_DEFAULT_CONFIG_IFACE=openaisparser
balance# /usr/sbin/corosync

This will run the corosync cluster engine using a plugin which instructs
the Corosync Cluster Engine to load the SA Forum services.

If SA Forum services are not desired, simply run the corosync cluster
engine daemon (/usr/sbin/corosync).

I would like to send a big thank you to the many people that have
contributed to this release and especially the folks at Ottawa Linux
Symposium for forcing our collective community to author a document
describing the systems we have put into practice.

If you happen to be at OLS this week, please feel free to attend my talk
at 3:00 PM Thursday.

In the near future, a specific wiki for corosync will be made available
for developers to participate.

The files are immediately available for download at
