Can you tell me what differences there are between 2.0.0rc1 and

GlusterFS v2.0.0rc1 Announcement
We are happy to announce the first RC release of GlusterFS v2.0.
This is a major improvement towards small-file-performance and
scalability. Unify has a better scalable alternative called
"Distribute", an elastic hash based algorithm. AFR has been renamed
to "Replicate" for simplicity. v2.0 is backward compatible with v1.x
disk layout. We are eagerly waiting to hear feedback from the
community before we call it a stable v2.0.0 release. Download
GlusterFS v2.0.0rc1 from http://www.gluster.org/download.php
* New to this release: distribute - elastic hash based scheduling
for linear scalability
* storage/bdb - distributed BerkeleyDB based storage backend for
very small files
* binary protocol - bit level protocol headers (CPU and network
effecient)
* mod_glusterfs - GlusterFS Apache / Lighttpd module for web
embeddable storage
* Non-blocking I/O - highly responsive socket I/O
* enhanced replicate - atomic writes to handle power-loss, split-
brains
* HA - high availability translator
* NUFA - Non-Uniform-File-Access translator for cloud/HPC storage
* root squash - NFS root squashing and uid/gid mapping
Happy Hacking!
