Yes, for single machine setups it was good, but for clustering
it was missing several important things, such as unit attentions
so reservation holders are notified when a reservation is lost
and the inability to issue a READ_CAPACITY for a volume under
reservation which made even active-passive clusters problematic.

If all you want is a simple single machine iSCSI target, then
0.4.17 is fine, if you want a more advanced setup as found in
larger environments, then I seriously recommend 1.4.19.

Also as far as support goes, we will generally provide as much
help as possible, but if it is due to a bug in an earlier
version that is fixed in a later version we will say upgrade.
