From: Linux-HA mailing list:

Hi,

I've just completed tests on Heartbeat version 1.3.0 (beta series).  It has
a few bug fixes and a couple of new features in it ;-), and can be found in
the usual place:
http://linux-ha.org/download/

I'd like to use this as the basis for 1.2.1 by about Monday or so, so
PLEASE HELP TEST this version, so we can be ready for a successful 1.2.1.

Main changes from 1.2.0 are:
Automatic reboot on resource stop failure
Stonith devices monitored for working status
New hb_takeover command
New tests cases
Several bug fixes

So, bring on the bug reports and (better yet) bug patches.

Thanks!
