Changelog for 6.1.10 (beta)

Version 6.1.10 [BETA] (rgerhards), 2011-06-22

  • bugfix: problems in failover action handling
    closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=270
    closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=254

  • bugfix: mutex was invalidly left unlocked during action processing
    At least one case where this can occur is during thread shutdown, which
    may be initiated by lower activity. In most cases, this is quite
    unlikely to happen. However, if it does, data structures may be
    corrupted which could lead to fatal failure and segfault. I detected
    this via a testbench test, not a user report. But I assume that some
    users may have had unreproducible aborts that were cause by this bug.
