Dear DRBD users,

this is the drbd-utils version 9.34.0. Since RC1 we fixed a regression  
in drbd-meta introduced in 9.33.0. All users of 9.33.0 are encouraged to  
upgrade. Other than that, from the RC:

It contains improvements and fixes all over the place. The main reason  
for this release is the release of DRBD kernel module 9.3.1 which  
introduced two new parameters, namely "discard-granularity" and  
"tie-breaker".

Regards, rck
