Hi!

So here is the huge 1.24.0 release of LINSTOR, down below is the combine
changelog
of all release candidates and changes since 1.23.0

* Java-11 requirement and java-17 support
We moved forward and now require at least java-11 for running LINSTOR, with
this
change we also made sure java-17 is supported. As this is the default jre
in debian bookworm now. With this change also a lot of 3rd party libraries
needed to be upgraded.

* linstor-database tool
A new tool was added that enables you to convert/migrate from/to different
LINSTOR database types.
Most interesting case is probably migrating from etcd to the crd backend.
See linstor-database command line help on how to export/import the
database, for this
release we require the LINSTOR-controller to be offline while doing the
export/import.

* LINSTOR for Windows
LINSTOR has now basic support for Microsoft Windows and their storage
spaces as storage backend. Installers for that will be provided for our
WinDrbd customers.

* Backupshipping queue
There is now a property "BackupShipping/MaxConcurrentBackupsPerNode" (on
controller or node) which limits how many concurrent backup shipments a
node is allowed to have.
This can be used to decrease network load during scheduled backups for
example.
