contains several new features and is one of our more feature packed releases in
recent times. The release notes [1] contains a description of new functionality
added to 3.7.0. In addition to features, 3.7.0 also contains several bug fixes
and minor improvements. It is highly recommended to test 3.7.0 thoroughly for
your use cases before deploying in production.

3.7.0 won't be packaged into Ubuntu LTS nor CentOS EPEL will
it? (I'm meaning their official external repos, not
download.gluster.org)

If there's any chance they might be, can we can get that
blocked until 3.7.x so people on 3.6.3 aren't automatically
upgraded via package update.

Regards and best wishes,

This fully depends on the maintainers of the distributions. For Fedora,
glusterfs-3.7.x will only land in Fedora 23, the other Fedora versions
will stay on their stable branches. Users of packages from the
distributions should not be worried that the version they are running
suddenly gets replaced with the brand new 3.7.0.

The packages are not in Fedora EPEL (which is what CentOS uses too?).

I do not know what the plan for the GlusterFS packages in the CentOS
Storage SIG is. If the 3.6.x packages from the SIG are not in the stable
repository yet, I would suggest the SIG to do the update to 3.7.x now
already.

Cheers,
Niels
