On behalf of the SPDK community I'm pleased to announce the release of SPDK=
 22.09!

This release contains the following new features:

- Flash translation layer: The previous FTL library has been entirely repla=
ced with a new version designed specifically to combine a fast cache device=
 with a large backing device that requires large sequential writes, such as=
 a zoned device.
- xNVMe bdev: Added a new bdev module that forwards I/O to the xNVMe librar=
y. Please see the https://spdk.io/doc/bdev.html#bdev_ug_xnvme for more deta=
ils.
- DAOS bdev: Added a new bdev module backed by DAOS. Please see the https:/=
/spdk.io/doc/bdev.html#bdev_config_daos for more details.
- SMA crypto and QoS: Expanded SMA with support for configuring crypto when=
 attaching a volume and configuring QoS on per-device or per-volume level.
