swift (2.9.0)

* Swift now supports at-rest encryption. This feature encrypts all

object data and user-set object metadata as it is sent to the cluster.

This feature is designed to prevent information leaks if a hard drive

leaves the cluster. The encryption is transparent to the end-user.

At-rest encryption in Swift is enabled on the proxy server by

adding two middlewares to the pipeline. The `keymaster` middleware

is responsible for managing the encryption keys and the `encryption`

middleware does the actual encryption and decryption.

Existing clusters will continue to work without enabling

encryption. Although enabling this feature on existing clusters

is supported, best practice is to enable this feature on new

clusters when the cluster is created.

For more information on the details of the at-rest encryption

feature, please see the docs at

http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/overview_encryption.html.

* `swift-recon` can now be called with more than one server type.

* Fixed a bug where non-ascii names could cause an error in logging

and cause a 5xx response to the client.

* The install guide and API reference have been moved into Swift's

source code repository.

* Various other minor bug fixes and improvements.
