Hi all, with sincere apologies for having taken so long, it is my pleasure to announce the release of heartbeat 2.1.4.
I would like to thank everybody for their contributions and patches! Before I proceed, allow me to address a few questions: - How does heartbeat 2.1.4 relate to Pacemaker? The 2.1.4 release is for those users who, for some reason, cannot yet upgrade to the Pacemaker version. It's intended to be the last final release in the 2.1.4 branch. Please use Pacemaker, if you can. 2.1.4 will be released as a maintenance update on SLES10 SP2. We opt to share this effort with the community, in the hope that it may be useful to some. - Will there be a 2.1.5 release? No. After this, the focus will be on 3.0.0, which will be a clean release (w/o embedded CRM), upon which pacemaker and other cluster managers can be build. Please join us on the linux-ha-dev list for that discussion. Unless critical _regressions_ surface, there will _not_ be another release of 2.1.x.
