Hi sbd - developers & users!

Thanks to everybody for contributing to tests and
further development.

Improvements in build/CI-friendlyness and
added robustness against misconfiguration
justify labeling the repo v1.4.2.

I tried to quickly summarize the changes in the
repo since it was labeled v1.4.1:

- improve build/CI-friendlyness

  * travis: switch to F32 as build-host
            switch to F32 & leap-15.2
            changes for mock-2.0
            turn off loop-devices & device-mapper on x86_64 targets because
            of changes in GCE
  * regressions.sh: get timeouts from disk-header to go with proper defaults
                    for architecture
  * use configure for watchdog-default-timeout & others
  * ship sbd.pc with basic sbd build information for downstream packages
    to use
  * add number of commits since version-tag to build-counter

- add robustness against misconfiguration / improve documentation

  * add environment section to man-page previously just available in
    template-config
  * inform the user to restart the sbd service after disk-initialization
  * refuse to start if any of the configured device names is invalid
  * add handshake to sync startup/shutdown with pacemakerd
    Previously sbd just waited for the cib-connnection to show up/go away
    which isn't robust at all.
    The new feature needs new pacemakerd-api as counterpart.
    Thus build checks for presence of pacemakerd-api.
    To simplify downstream adoption behavior is configurable at runtime
    via configure-file with a build-time-configurable default.
  * refuse to start if qdevice-sync_timeout doesn't match watchdog-timeout
    Needed in particular as qdevice-sync_timeout delays quorum-state-update
    and has a default of 30s that doesn't match the 5s watchdog-timeout
    default.

- Fix: sbd-pacemaker: handle new no_quorum_demote + robustness against new
                      policies added
- Fix: agent: correctly compare string values when calculating timeout
- Fix: scheduling: overhaul the whole thing
  * prevent possible lockup when format in proc changes
  * properly get and handle scheduler policy & prio
  * on SCHED_RR failing push to the max with SCHED_OTHER

Regards,
Klaus
