OpenEBS - v3.4.0

Release Summary

🎉 🎉 🎉 OpenEBS 3.4 welcomes exciting new changes to our NVMe-first storage engine Mayastor with the release of v2.0.0. Jiva, cStor, LocalPV hostpath, Dynamic NFS Provision and Node Disk Manager go through another round of critical bug fixes and user enhancements. This release includes fixes for user-reported critical bugs as well as fixes and enhancements to improve the E2e test coverage.

Upgrade and Backward Incompatibilities

Please review this list prior to deciding to upgrade:

Kubernetes 1.21 or higher release is recommended as this release uses features of Kubernetes that will not be compatible with older Kubernetes releases. Some of the engines might require you to have a higher Kubernetes version as the CSI drivers have been upgraded to the latest versions. For example, Kubernetes 1.19.12 or higher is recommended for using Rawfile Local PV.
