Announcing: Heartbeat beta version 1.1.1

Hi,

Last night I completed tests on the new beta version of heartbeat: 1.1.1 I did the usual 500 on nice_failback, and 500 with !nice_failback.

You can find it in the usual place at:

http://linux-ha.org/download/

Most notable new feature:

+ Added a new feature to hb_standby which allows you to give up any specific category of resources: local, foreign, or all. The old behavior is "all" which is the default. This allows you to put a nice_failback cluster into an active/active configuration

Below is the changelog.

+ Significant restructuring of the processes in heartbeat
+ Added a new feature to hb_standby which allows you to give up any specific category of resources: local, foreign, or all. The old behavior is "all" which is the default. This allows you to put a nice_failback cluster into an active/active configuration
