Dear DRBD users,

this is version 9.26.0 of drbd-utils. We did not find any bugs in RC2,
the only changes between RC2 and the final version are some minor
documentation updates.

For your convenience the RC1 and RC2 announce messages:

RC1:
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,...

RC2:
We did not find any problems in RC1, but we wanted to squeeze in some
new configuration options.
