Today we have released Swift 1.9.1 (RC1).

The tarball for the RC is at
http://tarballs.openstack.org/swift/swift-milestone-proposed.tar.gz

This release was initially prompted by a bug found by Peter Portante
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/swift/+bug/1196932) and includes a patch
for it. All clusters are recommended to upgrade to this new release.
As always, you can upgrade to this version of Swift with no end-user
downtime.

In addition to the patch mentioned above, this release contains a few
other important features:

* The default worker count has changed from 1 to auto. The new default
  value will for workers in the proxy, container, account & object
  wsgi servers will spawn as many workers per process as you have cpu
  cores.

* A "reveal_sensitive_prefix" config parameter was added to the
  proxy_logging config. This value allows the auth token to be
  obscured in the logs.

* The Keystone middleware will now enforce that the reseller_prefix
  ends in an underscore. Previously, this was a recommendation, and
  now it is enforced.

There are several other changes in this release. I'd encourage you to
read the full changelog at
https://github.com/openstack/swift/blob/master/CHANGELOG.

On the community side, this release includes the work of 7 new
contributors. They are:

Alistair Coles (alistair.co...@hp.com)
Thomas Leaman (thomas.lea...@hp.com)
Dirk Mueller (d...@dmllr.de)
Newptone (xingc...@unitedstack.com)
Jon Snitow (other...@swiftstack.com)
TheSriram (sri...@klusterkloud.com)
Koert van der Veer (ko...@cloudvps.com)

Thanks to everyone for your hard work. I'm very happy with where Swift
is and where we are going together.
