With over 400 updates since the release of 1.1.10, its time to start thinking about a new release.

• crmd: Do not block on proxied calls from pacemaker_remoted
• crmd: Enable cluster-wide throttling when the cib heavily exceeds its target load
• crmd: Use the load on our peers to know how many jobs to send them
• crm_mon: add –hide-headers option to hide all headers
• crm_report: Collect logs directly from journald if available
• Fencing: On timeout, clean up the agent’s entire process group
• Fencing: Support agents that need the host to be unfenced at startup
• ipc: Raise the default buffer size to 128k
• PE: Add a special attribute for distinguishing between real nodes and containers in constraint rules
• PE: Allow location constraints to take a regex pattern to match against resource IDs
• pengine: Distinguish between the agent being missing and something the agent needs being missing
• remote: Properly version the remote connection protocol
• services: Detect missing agents and permission errors before forking
• Bug cl#5171 - pengine: Don’t prevent clones from running due to dependant resources
• Bug cl#5179 - Corosync: Attempt to retrieve a peer’s node name if it is not already known
• Bug cl#5181 - corosync: Ensure node IDs are written to the CIB as unsigned integers

If you are a user of pacemaker_remoted, you should take the time to read about changes to the online wire protocol that are present in this release.
