* Ubik servers using pthreads are now available and are used by default
+ * As part of improving Ubik reliability in certain edge cases, an extra
+ election cycle (about 60 seconds) may be needed before writes are
+ permitted. This is a conservative change that may be removed in
+ the future.
+
* Remove periodic background fsync by the fileserver (ihandle fsync thread).
* Fix potential file handle leak in the file server ihandle caching layer.
* Modify the volume updateDate when the volume is changed by a salvage.
+ * Volume usage statistics are now preserved during reclone and restore
+ operations by default, the behavior previously enabled by
+ the -preserve-vol-stats flag to the volserver. The historical behavior
+ can be retained via the -clear-vol-stats argument.
+
All Client Platforms
+ * Use rxkad_crypt by default for connections to fileservers. This matches
+ the existing behavior of the Windows client and has been applied by
+ the distribution packaging on many platforms already.
+
* Add support for relative ACL changes with fs setacl. If a single plus (+)
or minus (-) character is appended to the rights' letters argument, the
new rights are computed relatively to the existing ones.
