It has been about 8 months since the release of 1.4.10 and so I thought it time to look at linuxha.net and give it an update. The release will feature support for the functionality offered by the recent DRBD revisions, updates to core libraries, improved documentation, added testing functionality and the big change ... IP version 6.
Supporting the latest version of IP is a big change and requires a fair amount of re-work and several hurdles to over-come. The first was the lack of a "ping6" perl equivalent... hence a week spent hacking 'c' code to create a library which linuxha.net will dynamically load to provide optimal icmp ping functionality over IP v6.
I'm now currently writing and test changes to network handling in the libraries that linuxha.net provides. I've not got a release date as yet but am hoping before the end of the year.
