Subject: linstor-proxmox v8.3.0-rc.1

Dear PVE users,

this is release candidate 1 of version 8.3.0 of the plugin. Please test
it and report any issues before the final release, which will happen in
about a week from now.

This release adds support for token authentication against the LINSTOR
controller, which is an important security feature of the current
LINSTOR RC. If enabled in LINSTOR (see the LINSTOR users guide), the
plugin picks up tokens automatically.

The second main feature is to improve resilience, volume activation is
now possible using an existing local DRBD device even when the
controller is temporarily unreachable.

We also added a configurable clusterlocktimeout option that allows
setting timeouts for parallel actions. This should usually not be
necessary, and does not affect the timeout for a single operation, but
if you run multiple actions in parallel this could be useful.

The searchdomain option can help if your LINSTOR names don't exactly
match "uname -n". Consider it a "last resort", but please just name your
nodes how one would expect it.

This release bumps the supported API version (APIVER) to 14 (which was
also done in v8.2.1). The rest of the changes are internal refactoring
and cleanups. We will update the official documentation soon.

Regards, rck
