Dear DRBD users,

this is the first release candidate of drbd-utils 9.31.0. It contains
all kinds of cleanups and fixes. The important things first:

If you are using kmod version 8.4, but recent utils (>= 9.28.0) you
probably want to install the new version. We fixed a regression for udev
rules generation. 

The second thing I want to mention is that VCS and XEN block-drbd got
dropped as we don't think there are any users and/or there are better
alternatives.

The rest are smaller improvements all over the place, especially our
systemd integration got some love where graceful shutdown for pacemaker
got improved, we now consistently disable the old sysvint wrapper
(drbd.service) and we added a drbd-configured.target which can be used
as a synchronization point during boot-up.

Please test! If we don't find any bugs I will release the final version
in about a week from now.

Regards, rck
