Even though GlusterFS-3.6.0 was released last week, maintenance continues on the 3.4 stable series!

The 2nd beta for GlusterFS 3.4.6 is now available for testing. Many bugs have been fixed since the 3.4.5 release, check the references below for details.

Bug reporters are encouraged to verify the fixes, and we invite others to test this beta to check for regressions. The ETA for 3.4.6 GA is tentatively set for the week of 10 November, after testing shows the release to be stable.
