Release Notes

Ceph Scale-out Block, Object and File

Network Interfaces

  • Adds support for controlling the duration of the short lock. [ QSTOR-10374 ]

  • Fixes a security bug where good login attempts could mask bad login attempts by clearing the bad login attempt sample set for a given user. [ QSTOR-10374 ]
