[lustre-announce] Lustre 2.16.1 released

[Peter Jones]

We are pleased to announce that the Lustre 2.16.1 Release has been declared GA and is available for download<https://downloads.whamcloud.com/public/lustre/lustre-2.16.1/> <https://downloads.hpdd.intel.com/public/lustre/lustre-2.11.0/> . You can also grab the source from git<https://git.whamcloud.com/?p=fs/lustre-release.git;a=commit;h=718a3fd9c78507a589a657ec3745b4c553f66633>

This is not an LTS release - this is a re-spin of 2.16.0 with a single fix (LU-18435<https://jira.whamcloud.com/browse/LU-18435>) that we have discovered has a broader scope than first understood. We recommend that anyone planning to use 2.16.x uses this release rather than 2.16.0.

A reminder that 2.16.x includes new features:

RHEL 9.4 Server support Support for Rocky/RHEL 9.4 servers  (LU-18150<https://jira.whamcloud.com/browse/LU-18150>)

IPv6 Support Providing the option to use large NIDs (LU-10391<https://jira.whamcloud.com/browse/LU-10391>)

Optimized Directory Traversal Improved Speed/Efficiency for large directories/trees  (LU-15975<https://jira.whamcloud.com/browse/LU-15975>)

The minimal changelog for 2.16.1<https://wiki.lustre.org/Lustre_2.16.1_Changelog> is available but fuller details about the 2.16 release can be found in the 2.16 wiki page <http://wiki.lustre.org/Release_2.16.0> (including the change log <http://wiki.lustre.org/Lustre_2.16.0_Changelog> and test matrix<https://wiki.lustre.org/Release_2.16.0#Test_Matrix>)

Please log any issues found in the issue tracking system<https://jira.whamcloud.com/>

Thanks to all those who have contributed to the creation of this release. The next LTS release will be 2.15.6.
