**RBD** block storage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+* Mirroring now supports a new snapshot-based mode that no longer requires
+ the journaling feature and its related impacts in exchange for the loss
+ of point-in-time consistency (it remains crash consistent).
* Clone operations now preserve the sparseness of the underlying RBD image.
* The trash feature has been improved to (optionally) automatically
move old parent images to the trash when their children are all
deleted or flattened.
+* The trash can be configured to automatically purge on a defined schedule.
+* Images can be online re-sparsified to reduce the usage of zeroed extents.
* The ``rbd-nbd`` tool has been improved to use more modern kernel interfaces.
* Caching has been improved to be more efficient and performant.
-
+* ``rbd-mirror`` automatically adjusts its per-image memory usage based
+ upon its memory target.
+* A new persistent read-only caching daemon is available to offload reads from
+ shared parent images.
