Dear DRBD users,

this is RC2 of drbd-reactor v0.4.0. For the previous notable changes
please refer to
https://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-announce/2021-June/000454.html

RC1 got some internal, extensive testing, and all in all it handled
typical LINSTOR vSAN / Pacemaker use cases including OCF agents well. Never the
less Christoph found some bugs like not handling diskless resources well, html
escaped output from the template library, minor misbehavior in drbd-reactorctl
and so on. Thanks Christoph for finding these.

Besides these bug fixes there is now a design document describing the reasoning
behind the promoter plugin and which failure modes it can (not) handle. It is
really worth reading if you plan to use drbd-reactor::promoter. Thanks Lars for
that [1].

Last but not least thanks to Moritz for spotting most of the stupid bugs
in the internal reviews.

I'd guess this is the last RC, and if nothing shows up the final release
should happen in about a week from now.

Regards, rck
