1.1.0-1 Release Notes

The 1.1.0-1 release contains the following changes:

Overview

New MySQL versions:

This release includes BetterLinux versions of MySQL 5.1.71 and 5.5.33

- Latest CentOS Kernel 2.6.32-358.18.1.el6
- kernel-devel will now be installed.Latest CentOS Kernel 2.6.32-358.18.1.el6

cpud:

The reason for the jump to a 1.1.0-1 release is due to the major enhancements that have been made to cpud. These changes include the way cpud manages jail scaling and moving processes in and out of the jails. We believe these changes resolve the load spike issues reported by some of our customers. We highly recommend upgrading to this release to take adavantage of the new and improved cpud. For optimal performance please set the seconds= to argument for any start_throttling and stop_throttling parameters you have defined.

Bandwidth Limiting:

No changes.

iothrottled:

minor changes.

Do NOT make betterlinux-kernel require betterlinux-kernel-devel. This
causes unresolvable dependency chains in the buildroot while trying to
build the kernel modules. The other direction (betterlinux-kernel
requires betterlinux-kernel-devel) should be okay.
