Dear WinDRBD users, This is the first release canidate for the new windrbd 1.1 branch. The major change in 1.1 is that the driver is signed directly by Microsoft which should make it run with SecureBoot enabled. To get a driver signed by Microsoft, certain tests (hardware lab kit - HLK) must be passed so we fixed the driver so that the required tests pass. This also should make the driver more stable when interacting with the NT kernel using the plug and play (PnP) protocol. As always a signed (this time from Microsoft) driver installer can be downloaded from the Linbit homepage: https://linbit.com/linbit-software-download-page-for-linstor-and-drbd-linux-driver/#drbd-windows This is a release canidate - do not use on production systems. This is a release canidate - please help testing it. We are in particular interested if the driver loads on all SecureBoot environments (it loads on our test VM with SecureBoot enabled). In addition we would like to know if upgrading from a 1.0 release to 1.1 works (without rebooting). Thank you for contributing to WinDRBD development by testing this release canidate. Best regards, - Johannes
