Hi,
Will disperse related new futures be ported to 3.7? or we should
upgrade for those features?

hi Serkan,
          Unfortunately, no they won't be backported to 3.7. We are adding
new features to latest releases to prevent accidental bugs slipping in
stable releases. While the features are working well, we did see a
performance problem very late in the cycle in the I/O path just with EC for
small files. You should wait before you upgrade IMO.

You were trying to test how long it takes to heal data with multi-threaded
heal in EC right? Do you want to give us feedback by trying this feature
out?
