Heartbeat 0.4.8d now on web site [with partitioned cluster recovery]
Hi,

Heartbeat 0.4.8d is now on the Linux-HA web site.

It contains the following features beyond 0.4.8:

+ Incorporated new ldirectord version
+ Added STONITH API library
+ Added STONITH option to heartbeat (stonith)
+ Added heartbeat API code
+ Added late heartbeat warning for heartbeats that arrive later than
0.75 of deadtime (warntime option)
+ Added better protection against replay attacks
+ Added detection of and recovery from cluster partitions
+ Added ping node/membership/link type for tiebreaking. This will
be useful when implementing quorum on 2-node systems.
+ Fixed byte-ordering problem related to output in findif.c.
There are probably more, related to input ;-)
+ More SuSE-compatibility changes thanks to Marius Tomaschewski
<mt@suse.de>

The STONITH API library is now a library, not just a .o file ;-)

The heartbeat API library is now also a library.

The following known problem still exists:
The heartbeat API still needs some minor revisions

NOTE: It also looks like the cluster partition recovery code is in
reasonable shape now!
