[ClusterLabs] Corosync 2.4.6 is available at corosync.org!

[Jan Friesse]

I am pleased to announce the last maintenance of the old stable (Needle 
branch) release of Corosync
2.4.6 available immediately from the GitHub release section at 
https://github.com/corosync/corosync/releases or our website at
http://build.clusterlabs.org/corosync/releases/.

The Needle branch is now unsupported and no longer maintained by 
Corosync team. The main reason for this decision is that Camelback (v3 - 
latest v3.1.6) is now almost 4 years old and proven to be stable.

Just a few short statistics/interesting facts:
- Version 2.0.0 was released on Tue Apr 10 2012, so Needle was supported 
for more than 10 years
- There were 845 commits made by 67 people during Needle's lifetime
- 410 files changed, 51214 insertions(+), 5516 deletions(-)
- Needle was first release without LCR support and without AIS services 
implemented
- Corosync-qdevice was added during the Needle life cycle (and now it is 
a separate project)
