Gluster 3.8 Release Notes & Gluster Community Version Maintenance Instructions
The GlusterFS 3.8 version is the original stable version of the 3.8.X series, which is a long-term stable version (Long-term-stable versions), updated every month, and these updates will only fix bugs and improve stability without any new features. This version can be safely installed in the production environment.
According to the community program, the long-term stable version will be updated one year. Normally, the community will generate a new maintenance version every three months, and the upcoming 3.9 version will be updated as a short-term stability (short-term-stable) version until the next release in three months.
Gluster 3.8. Version 1 has been released for more than a week, and many software sources already contain related packages. We recommend that all 3.8.0 users upgrade to version 3.8.1. For environments that use the 3.6.X version, consider choosing a version to upgrade in the next few months, and 3.6 will stop support after 3.9 release (End-of-life).
