Release 2.0.1 of Linux-HA is available

The Linux-HA team proudly announces release 2.0.1 of the Linux-HA (aka 
"heartbeat") software.

You can find it here:
	http://linux-ha.org/download/index.html#2.0.1

This release extends the capabilities of Linux-HA to be a good match to 
any commercial HA package.

This release provides support for monitoring of resources (services) and
support for larger clusters.  In Release 2, simple clusters are simple 
to create, and more complex  clusters can take advantage of our 
rule-based resource placement methods to ensure that the cluster does 
exactly what is desired when failures occur.

In addition, it supports the OCF standard resource model, the SAF
membership API, and provides command line, web-based and SNMP-based
cluster monitoring tools.

It extends our tradition of high quality through excellent code,
exhaustive automated testing, zero warnings in source, and for the first
time, all project code passes a static analyzer with no complaints.

Many thanks to the whole crew of people who worked so hard to bring you
this release!  (i.e, they wrote most of the new code).

Change Log:

   + Communication Layer

   + CIB can now contain XML comments and/or be in DOS format
   + Includes implementation of the ISO8601 date format
   + New CLI tools for changing cluster preferences, node attributes
     and node standby
   + Improved recovery and placement of group resources
   + Detection of failed nodes by the Policy Engine is fixed

     http://www.linux-ha.org/ClusterResourceManager/DTD1.0/Ann... :
       sections 1.5.[8,9,10,12]
     + Constraints and instance attributes can now be active
       conditionally
     + Rules can now contain other rules
     + Date/Time based expressions are supported
     + Cloned resources can now optionally be notified before and after
       any of its peers are stopped or started.

       a defined interval of idleness
   + Removed a flow control message which was very annoying when
     operating in a mixed 1.x/2.x environment
   -- Known Bugs :-( --
     - Bug 859 - FSA took too long to complete action - fully recovered
     - Bug 882 - IPC channel not connected during shutdown - harmless
     - Bug 879 - Failed actions cause extra election - harmless
  Each of these occurs about once or twice in 5000 test iterations
        - This is probably > 10K failovers
     - rsc_location constraints cannot have rules that contain other
       rules  (fixed in CVS after release)
