on GitHub

Dear MooseFS Users,

We are happy to announce that MooseFS 3.0.117 is released! 🎉

This is mostly a bugfix release. It also introduces a few improvements and new features, including:

• Displaying an error message when a config file for Master Server or Chunkserver cannot be loaded,
• An option to ignore locks for MooseFS Block Device (mfsbdev / nbd),
• A change of default value for ATIME_MODE to 2 (similar to relatime).

We would like to say big thanks to all the contributors who helped us making this release, especially (alphabetically): @alexcrow1974, @alpharde, @borkd, @deltabweb, @eleaner, @footlooseboss, @inkdot7, @jkiebzak, @jSML4ThWwBID69YC, @nickb937, @njaard, @onlyjob, @struthio, @tianon, @zcalusic, @Zorlin. Thank you for your valuable time, input, and help in making MooseFS better!

(If I forgot to mention somebody, I am sorry for that and please definitely let me know!)
