Thanks Chrissie, nice work.

I must highlight "it is now all very experimental". Of course we will be 
more than happy for feedback/bug reports (like 
https://github.com/corosync/corosync/issues/158) but if you want 
something working and tested use "needle" branch/official releases.

>      This is a big update that removes RRP & MRP from the codebase

>      are still (currently) supported but are deprecated. Also crypto
>      and mutiple interfaces are only supported over knet.

>      To compile this codebase you will need to install libknet from

>      The corosync.conf(5) man page has been updated with info on the new
>      options. Older config files should still work but many options
>      have changed because of the knet implementation so configs should
>      be checked carefully. In particular any cluster using using RRP
>      over UDP or UDPU will not start as RRP is no longer present. If you
>      need multiple interface support then you should be using the knet
> transport.

>      Knet brings many benefits to the corosync codebase, it provides support
>      for more interfaces than RRP (up to 8), will be more reliable in the

>      of network outages and allows dynamic reconfiguration of interfaces.
>      It also fixes the ifup/ifdown and 127.0.0.1 binding problems that have
