+
+
+v0.61.7 "Cuttlefish"
+====================
+
+This release fixes another regression preventing monitors to start after
+undergoing certain upgrade sequences, as well as some corner cases with
+Paxos and support for unusual device names in ceph-disk/ceph-deploy.
+
+Notable Changes
+---------------
+
+* mon: fix regression in latest full osdmap retrieval
+* mon: fix a long-standing bug in a paxos corner case
+* ceph-disk: improved support for unusual device names (e.g., /dev/cciss/c0d0)
+
+For more detailed information, see :download:`the complete changelog <../changelog/v0.61.7.txt>`.
+
+
+v0.61.6 "Cuttlefish"
+====================
+
+This release fixes a regression in v0.61.5 that could prevent monitors
+from restarting. This affects any cluster that was upgraded from a
+previous version of Ceph (and not freshly created with v0.61.5).
+
+All users are strongly recommended to upgrade.
+
+Notable Changes
+---------------
+
+* mon: record latest full osdmap
+* mon: work around previous bug in which latest full osdmap is not recorded
+* mon: avoid scrub while updating
+
+For more detailed information, see :download:`the complete changelog <../changelog/v0.61.6.txt>`.
+
+
+v0.61.5 "Cuttlefish"
+====================
+
+This release most improves stability of the monitor and fixes a few
+bugs with the ceph-disk utility (used by ceph-deploy). We recommend
+that all v0.61.x users upgrade.
+
+Upgrading
+---------
+
+* This release fixes a 32-bit vs 64-bit arithmetic bug with the
+ feature bits. An unfortunate consequence of the fix is that 0.61.4
+ (or earlier) ceph-mon daemons can't form a quorum with 0.61.5 (or
+ later) monitors. To avoid the possibility of service disruption, we
+ recommend you upgrade all monitors at once.
+
+Notable Changes
+---------------
+
+* mon: misc sync improvements (faster, more reliable, better tuning)
+* mon: enable leveldb cache by default (big performance improvement)
+* mon: new scrub feature (primarily for diagnostic, testing purposes)
+* mon: fix occasional leveldb assertion on startup
+* mon: prevent reads until initial state is committed
+* mon: improved logic for trimming old osdmaps
+* mon: fix pick_addresses bug when expanding mon cluster
+* mon: several small paxos fixes, improvements
+* mon: fix bug osdmap trim behavior
+* osd: fix several bugs with PG stat reporting
+* osd: limit number of maps shared with peers (which could cause domino failures)
+* rgw: fix radosgw-admin buckets list (for all buckets)
+* mds: fix occasional client failure to reconnect
+* mds: fix bad list traversal after unlink
+* mds: fix underwater dentry cleanup (occasional crash after mds restart)
+* libcephfs, ceph-fuse: fix occasional hangs on umount
+* libcephfs, ceph-fuse: fix old bug with O_LAZY vs O_NOATIME confusion
+* ceph-disk: more robust journal device detection on RHEL/CentOS
+* ceph-disk: better, simpler locking
+* ceph-disk: do not inadvertantely mount over existing osd mounts
+* ceph-disk: better handling for unusual device names
+* sysvinit, upstart: handle symlinks in /var/lib/ceph/*
+
+For more detailed information, see :download:`the complete changelog <../changelog/v0.61.5.txt>`.
+
+
+v0.61.4 "Cuttlefish"
+====================
+
+This release resolves a possible data corruption on power-cycle when
+using XFS, a few outstanding problems with monitor sync, several
+problems with ceph-disk and ceph-deploy operation, and a problem with
+OSD memory usage during scrub.
+
+Upgrading
+---------
+
+* No issues.
+
+Notable Changes
+---------------
+
+* mon: fix daemon exit behavior when error is encountered on startup
+* mon: more robust sync behavior
+* osd: do not use sync_file_range(2), posix_fadvise(...DONTNEED) (can cause data corruption on power loss on XFS)
+* osd: avoid unnecessary log rewrite (improves peering speed)
+* osd: fix scrub efficiency bug (problematic on old clusters)
+* rgw: fix listing objects that start with underscore
+* rgw: fix deep URI resource, CORS bugs
+* librados python binding: fix truncate on 32-bit architectures

+* rpm: install sysvinit script on package install
+* ceph-disk: fix OSD start on machine reboot on Debian wheezy
+* ceph-disk: activate OSD when journal device appears second
+* ceph-disk: fix various bugs on RHEL/CentOS 6.3
+* ceph-disk: add 'zap' command
+* ceph-disk: add '[un]suppress-activate' command for preparing spare disks
+* upstart: start on runlevel [2345] (instead of after the first network interface starts)
+* ceph-fuse, libcephfs: handle mds session reset during session open
+* ceph-fuse, libcephfs: fix two capability revocation bugs
+* ceph-fuse: fix thread creation on startup
+* all daemons: create /var/run/ceph directory on startup if missing
+
+For more detailed information, see :download:`the complete changelog <../changelog/v0.61.4.txt>`.
+
+
+v0.61.3 "Cuttlefish"
+====================
+
+This release resolves a number of problems with the monitors and leveldb that users have
+been seeing. Please upgrade.
+
+Upgrading
+---------
+
+* There is one known problem with mon upgrades from bobtail. If the
+ ceph-mon conversion on startup is aborted or fails for some reason, we
+ do not correctly error out, but instead continue with (in certain cases)
+ odd results. Please be careful if you have to restart the mons during
+ the upgrade. A 0.61.4 release with a fix will be out shortly.
+
+* In the meantime, for current cuttlefish users, v0.61.3 is safe to use.
+
+
+Notable Changes
+---------------
+
+* mon: paxos state trimming fix (resolves runaway disk usage)
+* mon: finer-grained compaction on trim
+* mon: discard messages from disconnected clients (lowers load)
+* mon: leveldb compaction and other stats available via admin socket
+* mon: async compaction (lower overhead)
+* mon: fix bug incorrectly marking osds down with insufficient failure reports
+* osd: fixed small bug in pg request map
+* osd: avoid rewriting pg info on every osdmap
+* osd: avoid internal heartbeta timeouts when scrubbing very large objects
+* osd: fix narrow race with journal replay
+* mon: fixed narrow pg split race
+* rgw: fix leaked space when copying object
+* rgw: fix iteration over large/untrimmed usage logs
+* rgw: fix locking issue with ops log socket
+* rgw: require matching version of librados
+* librbd: make image creation defaults configurable (e.g., create format 2 images via qemu-img)
+* fix units in 'ceph df' output
+* debian: fix prerm/postinst hooks to start/stop daemons appropriately
+* upstart: allow uppercase daemons names (and thus hostnames)
+* sysvinit: fix enumeration of local daemons by type
+* sysvinit: fix osd weight calcuation when using -a
+* fix build on unsigned char platforms (e.g., arm)
+
+For more detailed information, see :download:`the complete changelog <../changelog/v0.61.3.txt>`.
+
+
+v0.61.2 "Cuttlefish"
+====================
+
+This release disables a monitor debug log that consumes disk space and
+fixes a bug when upgrade some monitors from bobtail to cuttlefish.
+
+Notable Changes
+---------------
+
+* mon: fix conversion of stores with duplicated GV values
+* mon: disable 'mon debug dump transactions' by default
+
+For more detailed information, see :download:`the complete changelog <../changelog/v0.61.2.txt>`.
+
+
+v0.61.1 "Cuttlefish"
+====================
+
+This release fixes a problem when upgrading a bobtail cluster that had
+snapshots to cuttlefish.
+
+Notable Changes
+---------------
+
+* osd: handle upgrade when legacy snap collections are present; repair from previous failed restart
+* ceph-create-keys: fix race with ceph-mon startup (which broke 'ceph-deploy gatherkeys ...')
+* ceph-create-keys: gracefully handle bad response from ceph-osd
+* sysvinit: do not assume default osd_data when automatically weighting OSD
+* osd: avoid crash from ill-behaved classes using getomapvals
+* debian: fix squeeze dependency
+* mon: debug options to log or dump leveldb transactions
+
+For more detailed information, see :download:`the complete changelog <../changelog/v0.61.1.txt>`.
+
+v0.61 "Cuttlefish"
+==================
+
+Upgrading from v0.60
+--------------------
+
+* The ceph-deploy tool is now the preferred method of provisioning
+ new clusters. For existing clusters created via mkcephfs that
+ would like to transition to the new tool, there is a migration
+ path, documented at `Transitioning to ceph-deploy`_.
+
+
+* The sysvinit script (/etc/init.d/ceph) will now verify (and, if
+ necessary, update) the OSD's position in the CRUSH map on startup.
+ (The upstart script has always worked this way.) By default, this
+ ensures that the OSD is under a 'host' with a name that matches the
+ hostname (``hostname -s``). Legacy clusters create with mkcephfs do
+ this by default, so this should not cause any problems, but legacy
+ clusters with customized CRUSH maps with an alternate structure
+ should set ``osd crush update on start = false``.
+
+* radosgw-admin now uses the term zone instead of cluster to describe
+ each instance of the radosgw data store (and corresponding
+ collection of radosgw daemons). The usage for the radosgw-admin
+ command and the 'rgw zone root pool' config options have changed
+ accordingly.
+
+* rbd progress indicators now go to standard error instead of standard
+ out. (You can disable progress with --no-progress.)
+
+* The 'rbd resize ...' command now requires the --allow-shrink option
+ when resizing to a smaller size. Expanding images to a larger size
+ is unchanged.
+
+* Please review the changes going back to 0.56.4 if you are upgrading
+ all the way from bobtail.
+
+* The old 'ceph stop_cluster' command has been removed.
+
+* The sysvinit script now uses the ceph.conf file on the remote host
+ when starting remote daemons via the '-a' option. Note that if '-a'
+ is used in conjunction with '-c path', the path must also be present
+ on the remote host (it is not copied to a temporary file, as it was
+ previously).
+
+
+Upgrading from v0.56.4 "Bobtail"
+--------------------------------
+
+Please see `Upgrading from Bobtail to Cuttlefish`_ for details.
+

+ is used in conjunction with '-c path', the path must also be present
+ on the remote host (it is not copied to a temporary file, as it was
+ previously).
+
+* The monitor is using a completely new storage strategy and
+ intra-cluster protocol. This means that cuttlefish and bobtail
+ monitors do not talk to each other. When you upgrade each one, it
+ will convert its local data store to the new format. Once you
+ upgrade a majority, the quorum will be formed using the new protocol
+ and the old monitors will be blocked out until they too get
+ upgraded. For this reason, we recommend not running a mixed-version
+ cluster for very long.
+
+* ceph-mon now requires the creation of its data directory prior to
+ --mkfs, similarly to what happens on ceph-osd. This directory is no
+ longer automatically created, and custom scripts should be adjusted to
+ reflect just that.
+
+* The monitor now enforces that MDS names be unique. If you have
+ multiple daemons start with with the same id (e.g., ``mds.a``) the
+ second one will implicitly mark the first as failed. This makes
+ things less confusing and makes a daemon restart faster (we no
+ longer wait for the stopped daemon to time out) but existing
+ multi-mds configurations may need to be adjusted accordingly to give
+ daemons unique names.
+
+* The 'ceph osd pool delete <poolname>' and 'rados rmpool <poolname>'
+ now have safety interlocks with loud warnings that make you confirm
+ pool removal. Any scripts currently rely on these functions zapping
+ data without confirmation need to be adjusted accordingly.
+

+* ceph-fuse: session handling cleanup, bug fixes (Sage Weil)
+* much code cleanup and optimization (Danny Al-Gaaf)
+* use less memory for logging by default
+* upstart: automatically set osd weight based on df (Guilhem Lettron)
+* init-ceph, mkcephfs: close a few security holes with -a (Sage Weil)
+* rpm/deb: do not remove /var/lib/ceph on purge (v0.59 was the only release to do so)
+
+
+v0.59
+=====
+
+Upgrading
+---------
+
+* The monitor is using a completely new storage strategy and
+ intra-cluster protocol. This means that v0.59 and pre-v0.59
+ monitors do not talk to each other. When you upgrade each one, it
+ will convert its local data store to the new format. Once you
+ upgrade a majority, the quorum will be formed using the new protocol
+ and the old monitors will be blocked out until they too get
+ upgraded. For this reason, we recommend not running a mixed-version
+ cluster for very long.
+
+* ceph-mon now requires the creation of its data directory prior to
+ --mkfs, similarly to what happens on ceph-osd. This directory is no
+ longer automatically created, and custom scripts should be adjusted to
+ reflect just that.
+
+
+Notable Changes
+---------------
+
+ * mon: rearchitected to utilize single instance of paxos and a key/value store (Joao Luis)
+ * mon: new 'ceph df [detail]' command
+ * osd: support for improved hashing of PGs across OSDs via HASHPSPOOL pool flag and feature
+ * osd: refactored watch/notify infrastructure (fixes protocol, removes many bugs) (Sam Just)
+ * osd, librados: ability to list watchers (David Zafman)
+ * osd, librados: new listsnaps command (David Zafman)
+ * osd: trim log more aggressively, avoid appearance of leak memory
+ * osd: misc split fixes
+ * osd: a few journaling bug fixes
+ * osd: connection handling bug fixes
+ * rbd: avoid FIEMAP when importing from file (it can be buggy)
+ * librados: fix linger bugs (Josh Durgin)
+ * librbd: fixed flatten deadlock (Josh Durgin)
+ * rgw: fixed >4MB range requests (Jan Harkes)
+ * rgw: fix log rotation
+ * mds: allow xattrs on root
+ * ceph-fuse: fix statfs(2) reporting
+ * msgr: optionally tune TCP buffer size to avoid throughput collapse (Jim Schutt)
+ * consume less memory for logging by default
+ * always use system leveldb (Gary Lowell)
+
+
+
+v0.58
+=====
+
+Upgrading
+---------
+
+* The monitor now enforces that MDS names be unique. If you have
+ multiple daemons start with with the same id (e.g., ``mds.a``) the
+ second one will implicitly mark the first as failed. This makes
+ things less confusing and makes a daemon restart faster (we no
+ longer wait for the stopped daemon to time out) but existing
+ multi-mds configurations may need to be adjusted accordingly to give
+ daemons unique names.
+
+Notable Changes
+---------------
+
+ * librbd: fixed some locking issues with flatten (Josh Durgin)
+ * rbd: udevadm settle on map/unmap to avoid various races (Dan Mick)
+ * osd: move pg info, log into leveldb (== better performance) (David Zafman)
+ * osd: fix pg log trimming (avoids memory bloat on degraded clusters)
+ * osd: fixed bug in journal checksums (Sam Just)
+ * osd: verify snap collections on startup (Sam Just)
+ * ceph-disk-prepare/activate: support for dm-crypt (Alexandre Marangone)
+ * ceph-disk-prepare/activate: support for sysvinit, directories or partitions (not full disks)
+ * msgr: fixed race in connection reset
+ * msgr: fix comparison of IPv6 addresses (fixes monitor bringup via ceph-deploy, chef)
+ * radosgw: fix object copy onto self (Yehuda Sadeh)
+ * radosgw: ACL grants in headers (Caleb Miles)
+ * radosgw: ability to listen to fastcgi via a port (Guilhem Lettron)
+ * mds: new encoding for all data types (to allow forward/backward compatibility) (Greg Farnum)
+ * mds: fast failover between MDSs (enforce unique mds names)
+ * crush: ability to create, remove rules via CLI
+ * many many cleanups (Danny Al-Gaaf)
+ * buffer unit testing (Loic Dachary)
+ * fixed log rotation (Gary Lowell)
+
+v0.57
+=====
+
+This development release has a lot of additional functionality
+accumulated over the last couple months. Most of the bug fixes (with
+the notable exception of the MDS related work) has already been
+backported to v0.56.x, and is not mentioned here.
+
+Upgrading
+---------
+
+* The 'ceph osd pool delete <poolname>' and 'rados rmpool <poolname>'
+ now have safety interlocks with loud warnings that make you confirm
+ pool removal. Any scripts currently rely on these functions zapping
+ data without confirmation need to be adjusted accordingly.
+
+Notable Changes
+---------------
+
+* osd: default to libaio for the journal (some performance boost)
+* osd: validate snap collections on startup
+* osd: ceph-filestore-dump tool for debugging
+* osd: deep-scrub omap keys/values
+* ceph tool: some CLI interface cleanups
+* mon: easy adjustment of crush tunables via 'ceph osd crush tunables ...'
+* mon: easy creation of crush rules vai 'ceph osd rule ...'
+* mon: approximate recovery, IO workload stats
+* mon: avoid marking entire CRUSH subtrees out (e.g., if an entire rack goes offline)
+* mon: safety check for pool deletion
+* mon: new checks for identifying and reporting clock drift
+* radosgw: misc fixes
+* rbd: wait for udev to settle in strategic places (avoid spurious errors, failures)
+* rbd-fuse: new tool, package
+* mds, ceph-fuse: manage layouts via xattrs
+* mds: misc bug fixes with clustered MDSs and failure recovery
+* mds: misc bug fixes with readdir
+* libcephfs: many fixes, cleanups with the Java bindings
+* auth: ability to require new cephx signatures on messages (still off by default)
