Final version: +- A new htool called ``hroller`` helps scheduling parallel shutdown of + nodes on clusters where all instances are shut down, but without ever + rebooting both primary and secondary node for an instance at the same + time. +- Queries not needing locks or RPC access to the node can now be + performed by the confd daemon, making them independent from jobs, and + thus faster to execute. This is selectable at configure time. +- The KVM hypervisor has been updated with many new hypervisor + parameters, including a generic one for passing arbitrary command line + values. See a complete list in :manpage:`gnt-instance(8)` +- A new tool, called ``mon-collector``, is the stand-alone executor of + the data collectors for a monitoring system. As of this version, it + just includes the DRBD data collector, that can be executed by calling + ``mon-collector`` using the ``drbd`` parameter. See + :manpage:`mon-collector(7)`. +- New ``exclusive-storage`` node parameter added at cluster and + nodegroup level. When it's set to true, physical disks are assigned in + an exclusive fashion to instances, as documented in :doc:`Partitioned + Ganeti <design-partitioned>`. Currently, only instances using the + ``plain`` disk template are supported.
