MooseFS 4.58.4 Release Notes

MooseFS 4.58.4 is a maintenance release that includes build system improvements, internal code refactoring, and several fixes that improve stability and diagnostics.

All

• Added Fedora spec files and updated bootstrap process
  Added .spec files required for building MooseFS packages on Fedora-based distributions.
  As part of this change, minor adjustments were made to configure.ac, and the autogen.sh script has been replaced with bootstrap.sh.

• Refactoring of printflike macro in logging
  Introduced a printflike macro in mfslog and corrected all existing printflike macro usages. Some syslog arguments were also fixed.
  This is a technical refactoring with no impact on functionality.

Common

• Silenced unnecessary AddressSanitizer warning
  Adjusted code to prevent a false-positive warning reported by AddressSanitizer during builds.
  No impact on runtime behavior.

• Fixed potential crash in masterresolver (Pro only)
  Fixed a potential error when using the unofficial feature that allows specifying a list of IP addresses instead of a master hostname.
  If the list ended with an extra comma or semicolon, it could cause a crash. This condition is now handled safely.

• Added protection against double initialization of strerr
  Prevented multiple initializations of the strerr structure, which could occur when certain modules were initialized multiple times.

Master

• Improved chunk version information in logs
  When a chunk version mismatch occurs, syslog messages now include both the current chunk version and the version expected by the master. This provides clearer diagnostics when troubleshooting version inconsistencies.
