Thanks to all those who have contributed to the creation of this release.
This release is dedicated to the memory of Olaf Weber who was an active member of the Lustre Working Group and a long-term contributor to the Lustre project. Olaf passed away suddenly earlier this year and is much-missed by those of us who had the pleasure of working with him.
