The Linux-HA team proudly announces bug-fix-and-enhancement release 
2.0.6 of the Linux-HA (aka "heartbeat", aka "OpenHA") software.

As usual, you can find it here:
      http://linux-ha.org/download/index.html#2.0.6

2.0.6 has significant bug fixes and enhancements making it a worthwhile
upgrade for anyone running R2 CRM-style configurations, or who want to.

Change Log:

* Thu Jul 13 2006  Alan Robertson <alanr@unix.sh> (see doc/AUTHORS file)
+ Version 2.0.6 - bug fix and a few enhancements release
   + Added the ability to start/stop groups from the GUI
   + Fixed a few monitoring bugs in the Apache resource agent
   + Changed the name of the netmask parameter to the IPaddr and IPaddr2
	resource agents.  This is because the netmask must be specified
	in CIDR format.  The new name is cidr_netmask.  It will continue
	to work the old way.
   + Changed target_role so that when you stop a resource, all the
         resources which depend on it also stop - in the proper order.
   + Many enhancements
     default_resource_failure_stickiness
     OCFS2 cluster filesystem support
     new VIPArip resource agent
     new SysInfo resource agent
     new Oracle resource agents
     Add cluster naming directive
     Added node quorum voting weights
     Added site declaration
     ha_propagate command
     allow NFS to run as a cloneable filesystem
     haresources2cib extensions
     added cibadmin man page
     Make startup fencing optional (for the brave)
     Many CIM improvements
   + Many GUI improvements
     added hb_gui symlink in /usr/bin
     significant speedup
     added support for types of groups:
     move resources up/down in groups
     resources default to being stopped
     stonith RA metadata
     basic heartbeat class RA metadata
     reworked resource addition dialog
     right-click menu
