[sheepdog-users] [ANNOUNCE, CAUTION] sheepdog stable release v0.8.3

[Hitoshi Mitake]

Hi sheepdog users and developers,

I released v0.8.3 of stable branch. You can download a source archive
from these URLs:
tar.gz: https://github.com/sheepdog/sheepdog/archive/v0.8.3.tar.gz
zip: https://github.com/sheepdog/sheepdog/archive/v0.8.3.zip

I have to emphasis on the point that updating from v0.8.x (x < 3) to
v0.8.3 requires "-u" option, because it contains updating store
format. Sorry for inconvenience but the format update is a necessary
change for clusters which store many objects.

Below is a summary of commits backported after v0.8.2:

Bingpeng Zhu (1):
      sheep/cluster: fix error in sheep log

      tests/func: fix spurious error for 032
