Patch traffic on the mailing list included a rewrite of disk quota caching, yielding dramatic performance improvements for systems with lots of quotas, a series to make all inode updates and thus all live metadata updates transactional. Last but not least a version versions to fix a long standing bug in support of the real time subvolume was posted, showing that even this long deprecated feature still has a user base. On the userspace side development has been quite, with just two fixes to xfs_io committed to xfsprogs, while waiting for the long overdue 3.1.8 release. Xfsdump has been entirely quite this month, again waiting for a release, and xfstests saw only two commits either, although there are still lots of outstanding patches on the list that haven't been reviewed and/or applied.
