Feature release

Highlights

• MinIO supports starting the server arguments and configuration via a YAML configuration file. This YAML configuration
  describes everything that can be configured in a MinIO setup, such as '--address', '--console-address', and command
  line arguments for the MinIO server. Official documentation will be subsequently updated. Internal documentation on
  this feature is described here.

• Historical flag --config-dir | -C does not work anymore. to provide a certs directory, you are advised to provide the
  supported flag --certs-dir | -S instead, --config-dir has been long deprecated its finally time to completely remove
  its support.

• Bitrot files will now be triggered with a proactive heal when needed.

Major Refactor Release

Highlights

This is a major refactor release with WebSockets for internal communication between nodes.
We advise our users to follow our upgrade instructions on best practices

• Click here to download the latest version of MinIO.
• Click here for production support.
• This release brings a larger change to internode communication, which is now re-implemented
  to use WebSockets for most of the internal calls. Allowing us much larger scalability to 100s
  to 1000s of nodes. To learn more about the WebSockets grid implementation please read.
• Site replication now supports optionally heal ILM configuration to all sites, allowing ILM settings
  across buckets to be centrally managed via any site.
• Batch replication from minio -> minio ultimately uses compressed archive by default to more
  effectively utilize the bandwidth during batch replication.
• Support for Batch expiration of objects on your MinIO instance.
• MinIO now also supports external caching for metadata calls such as HeadObject() in a
  distributed memory for faster lookups when you have a slower medium such as HDD and
  a READ-heavy workload pattern.
