[sheepdog-users] [ANNOUNCE] sheepdog stable release v1.0.1_rc0

[Takashi Menjo]

Hello sheepdog-users,

I released sheepdog stable release v1.0.1_rc0.
You can download source code from the below link:
<https://github.com/sheepdog/sheepdog/releases/tag/v1.0.1_rc0>

v1.0.1_rc0 will be v1.0.1 at ** Oct 21, 17:00 (GMT+9) ** officially
if there are no complains and no serious new issues.

Changelog (draft):
======================================================================
IMPORTANT BUG FIX:
 - handle a case of snapshot then failover properly on iSCSI multipath
   use case (please use tgt 1.0.68 or later together)
 - disable asynchronous update of ledger objects if VID recycling is
   enabled for avoiding data object loss
 - do not make non-ledger and non-inode objects moving between disks
   when "dog node md plug" be sparse

NEW FEATURE:
 - fixed work queue: Sets and limits the number of threads in a sheep
   process. You can get stable performance with this if tuned properly.

SHEEP COMMAND INTERFACE
 - new option "-w" to set fixed work queue (default: disabled i.e. the
   number of threads increases and decreases automatically and unlimitedly)
   (note that "-w" was object cache option before v1.0)

DOG COMMAND INTERFACE:
 - refine output of "dog vdi lock list"
 - enhance "dog vdi lock unlock" to unlock not only working VDI but
   also snapshot

TESTING:
 - Travis CI: Tests a new pull request automatically
======================================================================

Regards,
Takashi
