What is the current stable version of glusterfs?
Also, the current latest versions are 3.8.9, 3.10.3, and 3.11.0, respectively,
but why the bug-fixed contents in 3.11.0 are not applied to 3.8 series and 3.10
series? Do you apply with the next minor version upgrade?

3.8.x and 3.10.x are long term stable releases. Newer features are in 
3.11.x, which is  a short term stable release branch.

Ideally they should be. Sometimes developers are busy and might miss out 
on back porting the bug-fixes to all release branches. If there is a 
specific bug fix patch from 3.11 that you want in 3.8/3.10, just ask 
over here. You can also help out  by sending the back ports yourself.

I currently use it in the replica configuration of 3.10.2.
The brick process may not start when restarting the storage server. Also, when
using gnfs, the I / O may hang up and become unusable.
After checking the release notes of 3.11.0, the following ID seems to be
applicable, so please reflect it if it can be reflected in 3.10 series. Also,
for items with high urgency
Since 3.11.0 has just been released and it is a short-term release version, I
want to avoid upgrading at this stage.

Bug 1418014 - disable client.io-threads on replica volume creation
Bug 1421937 - [Replicate] "RPC call decoding failed" leading to IO
hang & mount inaccessible
Bug 1427012 - Disconnects in nfs mount leads to IO hang and mount inaccessible
Bug 1430860 - brick process crashes when glusterd is restarted
Bug 1449933 - Brick Multiplexing :- resetting a brick bring down other bricks
with same PID

Thank you.
