Version 0.7.5 of Galera Load Balancer
Release Notes: This is a minor bugfix release. It fixes a destination management bug which sometimes made it impossible to remove a destination or change its weight via the socket control interface, and fixes compilation with the --enable-stats configure option.
Other releases
Release Notes: This is a major feature and bugfix release. It has an optional watchdog module that can monitor destinations using custom service-specific scripts and update the routing table accordingly. It also can automatically discover newly added nodes in a Galera cluster and take them into use. There is a GLB_OPTIONS environment variable to allow configuration of libglb using the same command line options as for glbd. libglb initialization was not thread safe, and failed for applications that opened several connections simultaneously (e.g. sysbench); this has been fixed. A number of issues reported by valgrind have been fixed.
Release Notes: New in this release are a "single" balancing policy where all connections are directed to a single destination chosen by highest weight, a --top option that forces balancing only between the destinations with the highest weight, and a SO_KEEPALIVE option on destination connections (default: on) for timely detection of the destination failure.
Release Notes: This is a rather major feature release. It adds support for asynchronous connects (default; can be disabled), a more intuitive weighting algorithm (where weight 100 means that destination will receive at least 99 connections before another destination with weight 1 is considered), and a better connect() compliance in libglb (more applications should work now).
Release Notes: This release fixes division by 0 from the 0.9.0 beta. The main highlight is the introduction of libglb.so, which can add balancing capability to any Linux application by overloading the libc connect() call in runtime, providing direct connections from client to server. No application recompilation or relinking is needed. This release adds a "round-robin" balancing policy.
Release Notes: This is another major feature update. It adds the libglb.so shared library that can add balancing capability to any Linux client application without recompilation or relinking by overloading the standard libc connect() call in runtime. All other communication then happens directly between the client and server. No other client functionality is affected. This release also adds a "round-robin" balancing policy and makes "random" and "source" policies respect destination weight.
