Hi Folks, Since Gluster 4.0 is a long term initiative, we discussed and decided to have our first pre release which would include the basics of the features what we are working on. The main idea behind this is to have community feel about the product right at the early stage. Having said that all of these releases will be experimental and by no means can be considered in production. We plan to have our first MVP open to the community by April/May 2016. Feedback on this approach is more than welcome.
