Chapter 3. Major Updates
This section lists all major updates, enhancements, and new features introduced in this release of Red Hat Ceph Storage.
"ceph" rebased to 0.94.9
The ceph packages have been updated to the upstream version 0.94.9, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.
The "radosgw-agent fully sync" mode now copies only changed objects
With this update, the radosgw-agent in full sync mode copies only objects that have changed, instead of all of them, when synchronizing objects between two Ceph Object Gateways after a failover.
The default quota for a user is set when creating the user
With this update, when creating a new Ceph Object Gateway user, the default quota is set for the user. Previously, the default quota for a user was not set until the user performed an action in the Ceph Object Gateway.
"ceph-deploy" rebased to 1.5.36
The ceph-deploy package has been updated to the upstream version 1.5.36, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.
"ceph-deploy" now has its own ceph-deploy-${cluster_name}.log file
The ceph-deploy utility has now its own ceph-deploy-${cluster-name}.log file. Previously, the ${cluster-name}.log file was used to log ceph-deploy entries, which could lead to confusion because this file is also used to log entries related to the Ceph cluster.
Transition to Phase-2 Production support
Red Hat will deliver continued support of Ceph Storage 1.3 for 36 months since its original release, until June 30th, 2018. Having met our original commitment to provide 12 months of Production Phase 1 support, this release marks the transition of Red Hat Ceph Storage 1.3 to Production Phase 2 support.
