All,
kronosnet (or knet for short) is the new underlying network protocol for
Linux HA components (corosync), that features the ability to use
multiple links between nodes, active/active and active/passive link
failover policies, automatic link recovery, FIPS compliant encryption
(nss and/or openssl), automatic PMTUd and in general better performance
compared to the old network protocol.
After several weeks / months without any major bug reported, starting
with v1.19 release, we are going to lock down the 1.x series to only 2
kind of changes:
* Bug fixes
* Onwire compatibility changes to allow rolling upgrades with the v2.x
series (if necessary at all)
Upstream will continue to support v1.x for at least 12 months after v2.x
will be released (date unknown, no really, we didn't even start the
development).
If you have any amazing ideas on what v2.x should include, please file
issues here:
https://github.com/kronosnet/kronosnet/issues
Or check the current TODO list here:

Cheers,

All,
We are pleased to announce the general availability of kronosnet v1.19
kronosnet (or knet for short) is the new underlying network protocol for
Linux HA components (corosync), that features the ability to use
multiple links between nodes, active/active and active/passive link
failover policies, automatic link recovery, FIPS compliant encryption
(nss and/or openssl), automatic PMTUd and in general better performance
compared to the old network protocol.
Highlights in this release:
* Add native support for openssl 3.0 (drop API COMPAT macros).
* Code cleanup of public APIs. Lots of lines of code moved around, no
functional changes.
* Removed kronosnetd unsupported code completely
* Removed unused poc-code from the source tree
* Make sure to initialize epoll events structures
Known issues in this release:
* None
