I am pleased to announce the latest maintenance release of Corosync
3.1.0 available immediately from GitHub release section at https://github.com/corosync/corosync/releases or our website at
http://build.clusterlabs.org/corosync/releases/.

This release contains important bug fixes and also few big new features (that's the reason for bumping minor version number):

- Support for changing crypto configuration during runtime. This includes turning cryptography on or off, changing crypto_cipher and crypto_hash and also changing of crypto key. To use this feature simply change corosync.conf (or authkey) and call `corosync-cfgtool -R`.

To make this feature work compilation with knet version at least 1.18 is required (it is still possible to compile corosync with previous knet versions but crypto reconfiguration will be disabled).

Please note that it is not supported to make crypto reconfiguration during upgrade of cluster! Cluster will split into partition with nodes running old corosync and partition with nodes running new corosync if cryptographic configuration is changed!

- Configuration system is rewritten and reload became atomic operation. Previously it was possible to change configuration file such way that corosync would refuse to start with such configuration, but it was partly loaded during reconfiguration (usually with warnings but bad things happened anyway) creating inconsistencies.

Now, bad config file which would be refused during startup is refused also on reload and configuration stays intact.

- Quorum service got improved API with ability to register new totem members change callback. Main motivator for this change is DLM, but other API users may find it helpful too - see quorum_model_initialize (3) and tests/testquorummodel.c example. Change is fully backwards compatible and there is no change in the previous quorum_initialize (3).

Upgrade is highly recommended.

Note for corosync contributors (and distro maintainers). There is no plan to keep 3.0.X branch supported (as was the case with 2.x) so there is not going to be any camelback-3.0 (or camelback-3.1) branches - only camelback (which will be used for 3.1.1, ...).

Thanks/congratulations to all people that contributed to achieve this
great milestone.
