Re: [Gluster-devel] GlusterFS v2.0.0rc1 Release

[Anand Babu Periasamy]

We waited long enough since 1.3.12 stable release. 2.0.0rc1 is more stable than 
1.3.12.

There are some bug fixes since the RC1 upload, but they are yet to be approved 
by our
QA team. You can find those releases under
http://ftp.gluster.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/qa-releases/

Happy Hacking!
