swift (1.5.0)

    * New option to toggle SQLite database preallocation with account
      and container servers.

      IMPORTANT:
      The default for database preallocation is now off when before
      it was always on. This will affect performance on clusters that
      use standard drives with shared account, container, object
      servers. Such deployments will need to update their
      configurations to turn database preallocation back on (see
      account-server.conf-sample and container-server.conf.sample
      files).

      If you are using dedicated account and container servers with
      SSDs, you should defragment your file systems after upgrade and
      should notice dramatically less disk usage.

    * swift3 middleware removed and moved to http://github.com/fujita/swift3.
      This will require a config change in the proxy server and adds a new
      dependency for deployers using this middleware.

      in the proxy server.

      change)

      placement, unified balancing methods, and can work on more than one
      device at a time.

    * Numerous bug fixes to StaticWeb (previously unusable at scale).

    * Bug fixes to all middleware to allow passthrough requests under various
      conditions and to share pre-authed request code (which previously had
      differing behaviors and interaction bugs).
