๐ View Raw Release Notes (Original Developer Log)
## Highlights
- Slower drives or slower networks that hit DriveMaxTimeouts but asynchronously wake up the connection
with new data can potentially trigger an incorrect buffer to be shared among concurrent WRITE
goroutines. The final data buffer might not be the same that was intended to be written to the disk,
causing cross-pollution of buffers among objects.
This release fixes this problem, which has affected releases since
- RELEASE.2023-08-04T17-40-21Z, which added drive timeouts on the READERs
(rarely triggered since drives don't usually hang for READERs)
- This problem was partially addressed in RELEASE.2023-11-11T08-14-41Z unknowingly,
However, it ended up manifesting itself now with WRITERs since the WRITERs used
same deadline READERs for the network stream in this release.
- We haven't seen reports of this from community users yet; we found this internally during
our tests in a customer deployment.
All users are advised to upgrade to the latest release.
