Hi,

0.7.15 (api:77/proto:74)
-----
 * Fixed a bug in the GC code that could cause a resync attempt
   in the wrong direction.
 * Made DRBD's compat_ioctls work with kernels higher than 2.6.14. This
   means DRBD builds on AMD64/x86_64 with 2.6.15 and higher again.
 * drbdadm no longer looks in the current directory for its
   backend programs (=drbdsetup), but instead looks in the directory
   of the drbdadm executable and in $PATH.
 * Removed the examples from manpage, added a pointer to the HA-wiki.


The first bugfix might sound very critical, but it only affects the 
situation immediately after the initial sync (that one that is started
with the --do-what-I-say option). In case DRBD gets restarted once 
the bug no longer gets triggered.

I do not see an urgent need to update your 0.7.14 installations, but
you should use 0.7.15 with new installations of course.

0.7.14 (api:77/proto:74)
-----
 * Fixed a SMP race condition introduced in 0.7.12, that could cause
   a lockup on a busy node in Primary/SyncSource state.
 * In case a disc failes during a read requests, the read requests
   is reissued to the peer. Now it also tells the peer that the disk
   broke. 
   Without that fix this bug could cause a resync in the wrong direction
   after a cluster restart.
 * Some improvements to the documentation.

Well, it is a shame, that there was still a problem introduced with 
that 0.7.12 release.

Users of SMP machines should really really avoid 0.7.13. Now everything
works, but in case you have an outage of one node, it might cause the
primary to freeze during the resync process.
