I am pleased to announce the first release candidate of our future
Corosync Needle 2.0.

Tarball is available immediately from our website at
http://www.corosync.org.

Because we decided to make many changes which causes backwards incompatibility (API/ABI and on-wire), we decided to release another beta, rather then RC-2.

Just for sure, this means that you need to update all cluster nodes.

Biggest changes are:
- Removal of evil services. These was dummy handlers of OpenAIS services, and because OpenAIS is no longer actively maintained in upstream, they can be removed. - Remove sync1 synchronization engine. This was here only for backwards compatibility. This also means, that old flag "compatibility" is also removed. - Drop pload service. Pload service was internally used for testing of performance, but could cause hard crashes, incorrect behavior, ... Service as itself is gone, but you can use ploadstart script which does almost same thing. - Remove EVS service. EVS service was not widely used, was incomplete and not function. Because it's behavior can be easily emulated in CPG, we decided to drop it and if needed in future, we will create libevs wrapper on top of cpg.
- Change internal numbers of services. This will cause wire incompatibility.
- Crypto rework:
- We removed tomcrypt. Tomcypt is nice, small, ... library, but sadly we didn't updated it for long time (may cause serious crypto issues). Also NSS is FIPS certified, it's external library, has support for HW accelerated encryption and many other nice things. So we decided to stick only to NSS - Previous change also means, that ripmed encryption is gone, instead of that, we are using NSS AES256 - Code which was using NSS has many many bugs fixed (various leaks, overflows, ...) - It's now possible to choose from wide array of hmac methods (md5, sha1, sha256, ...) and it should be very easy to add another cipher methods (for now, only AES256 is supported)
