[Announce] CTDB 2.5.3 available for download

[Amitay Isaacs]

Changes in CTDB 2.5.3
=====================

User-visible changes
--------------------

* New configuration variable CTDB_NATGW_STATIC_ROUTES allows NAT
  gateway feature to create static host/network routes instead of
  default routes.  See the documentation.  Use with care.

Important bug fixes
-------------------

* ctdbd no longer crashes when tickles are processed after reloading
  the nodes file.

* "ctdb reloadips" works as expected because the DEL_PUBLIC_IP control
  now waits until public IP addresses are released before returning.

Important internal changes
--------------------------

* Vacuuming performance has been improved.

* Record locking now compares records based on their hashes to avoid
  scheduling multiple requests for records on the same hashchain.

* An internal timeout for revoking read-only record relegations has
  been changed from hard-coded 5 seconds to the value of the
  ControlTimeout tunable.  This makes it less likely that ctdbd will
  abort.

* Many test improvements and additions.
