Release 1.2.0

New features:

- Implement CSI volume expansion
- Implement CSI volume snapshots
- CSI driver now requires Kubernetes >= 1.20

Bug fixes:

- Important bug fix for EC: fix EC n+k, k>=2 read recovery in ISA-L version returning
  incorrect data when reading at least the second chunk out of multiple missing chunks
  without reading the first one. All users of EC n+k, k>=2 should upgrade as soon as
  possible, and upgrade should be conducted with downtime: first stop all clients
  (VMs/containers), then all OSDs, then upgrade and restart everything.
- Fix unstable statistics aggregation in monitor (affecting vitastor-cli status and df)
- Make udev not wait for OSDs to start during boot
- Do not report negative numbers of offline PGs in vitastor-cli status when changing PG count
- Report both old and new PG counts in vitastor-cli df when changing it
- Fix OSDs sometimes not starting with "The code only supports journal versions 1 and 2,
  but it is 2 on disk" error after upgrading from pre-1.0 versions and letting OSDs run
  for some time
- Fix monitors sometimes returning old PG count back after OSD configuration changes
- Make monitor PG changes more stable and timeout errors less probable

+## Features
+
+Vitastor CSI supports:
+- Kubernetes starting with 1.20 (or 1.17 for older vitastor-csi <= 1.1.0)
+- Filesystem RWO (ReadWriteOnce) volumes. Example: [PVC](../../csi/deploy/example-pvc.yaml), [pod](../../csi/deploy/example-test-pod.yaml)
+- Raw block RWX (ReadWriteMany) volumes. Example: [PVC](../../csi/deploy/example-pvc-block.yaml), [pod](../../csi/deploy/example-test-pod-block.yaml)
+- Volume expansion
+- Volume snapshots. Example: [snapshot class](../../csi/deploy/example-snapshot-class.yaml), [snapshot](../../csi/deploy/example-snapshot.yaml), [clone](../../csi/deploy/example-snapshot-clone.yaml)
+
+Remember that to use snapshots with CSI you also have to install [Snapshot Controller and CRDs](https://kubernetes-csi.github.io/docs/snapshot-controller.html#deployment).

+
+## Возможности
+
+CSI-плагин Vitastor поддерживает:
+- Версии Kubernetes, начиная с 1.20 (или с 1.17 для более старых vitastor-csi <= 1.1.0)
+- Файловые RWO (ReadWriteOnce) тома. Пример: [PVC](../../csi/deploy/example-pvc.yaml), [под](../../csi/deploy/example-test-pod.yaml)
+- Сырые блочные RWX (ReadWriteMany) тома. Пример: [PVC](../../csi/deploy/example-pvc-block.yaml), [под](../../csi/deploy/example-test-pod-block.yaml)
+- Расширение размера томов
+- Снимки томов. Пример: [класс снимков](../../csi/deploy/example-snapshot-class.yaml), [снимок](../../csi/deploy/example-snapshot.yaml), [клон снимка](../../csi/deploy/example-snapshot-clone.yaml)
+
+Не забывайте, что для использования снимков нужно сначала установить [контроллер снимков и CRD](https://kubernetes-csi.github.io/docs/snapshot-controller.html#deployment).
