iRODS 4.1.8 is released


The iRODS Consortium and RENCI are pleased to announce iRODS 4.1.8.

This is mainly a bugfix release which addresses SSL and authentication, syncing and federation behavior, Oracle detection, and other small issues.

It also includes a new 'high water mark' capability for the unixfilesystem resource plugin allowing an administrator to protect the resource from a 'disk full' event.

This release consists of 108 commits from 5 contributors and closed 60 issues.
