Dear DRBD users,

this is the first RC for the upcoming 9.26.0 release. My feeling is we
accumulated more features and fixes than usual, so let's introduce some
highlights:

ktls: For all the details please see Phil's drbd-9.2.6-rc.1 announce mail, this
adds the userspace bits. Note for packages: this introduces a new dependency,
see the debian dir and the spec.in file in the git repo for details.

drbd-graceful-shutdown.service: DRBD benefits if a connection is shut down
properly instead of just vanishing. This is a bit of a problem on system
shutdown. A dependency to that service is automatically configured for every
DRBD device when the device shows up in udev. It configures dependencies on
network-online and the [email protected] and drbd.service (do not use the later
one, it is deprecated and we have ways better ones like the [email protected] one!)
and on shutdown then downs the resources.

I think these are the most important features, but there have been
improvements to drbdmon, windrbd, the CPU mask size got increased,
events2 with --poll now terminates if the kernel module is unloaded and
returns a specific exit code for "module unload" which allows some
drbd-reactor improvements in the future,...

Please test, if we don't find any issues I will release the final version in
about a week from now.

Regards, rck
