[Bug 1278466] Re: [FFe] ceph firefly 0.78.1 stable release

Hi everyone,

It's taken longer than expected, but the tests for v0.78 are calming down 
and it looks like we'll be able to get the release out this week.

However, we've decided NOT to make this release firefly.  It will be a 
normal development release.  This will be the first release that includes 
some key new functionality (erasure coding and cache tiering) and although 
it is passing our tests we'd like to have some operational experience with 
it in more users' hands before we commit to supporting it long term.

The tentative plan is to freeze and then release v0.79 after a normal two 
week cycle.  This will serve as a 'release candidate' that shaves off a 
few rough edges from the pending release (including some improvements with 
the API for setting up erasure coded pools).  It is possible that 0.79 
will turn into firefly, but more likely that we will opt for another two 
weeks of hardening and make 0.80 the release we name firefly and maintain 
for the long term.

Long story short: 0.78 will be out soon, and you should test it!  It is 
will vary from the final firefly in a few subtle ways, but any feedback or 
usability and bug reports at this point will be very helpful in shaping 
things.

Thanks!
