>=18.0.0 * RGW's default backend for `rgw_enable_ops_log` changed from RADOS to file. The default value of `rgw_ops_log_rados` is now false, and `rgw_ops_log_file_path` defaults to "/var/log/ceph/ops-log-$cluster-$name.log". * The SPDK backend for BlueStore is now able to connect to an NVMeoF target. Please note that this is not an officially supported feature. * RGW's pubsub interface now returns boolean fields using bool. Before this change, `/topics/` returns "stored_secret" and "persistent" using a string of "true" or "false" with quotes around them. After this change, these fields are returned without quotes so they can be decoded as boolean values in JSON. The same applies to the `is_truncated` field returned by `/subscriptions/`. * RGW's response of `Action=GetTopicAttributes&TopicArn=` REST API now returns `HasStoredSecret` and `Persistent` as boolean in the JSON string encoded in `Attributes/EndPoint`. * All boolean fields previously rendered as string by `rgw-admin` command when the JSON format is used are now rendered as boolean. If your scripts/tools relies on this behavior, please update them accordingly. The impacted field names are: * absolute * add * admin * appendable * bucket_key_enabled * delete_marker * exists * has_bucket_info * high_precision_time * index * is_master * is_prefix * is_truncated * linked * log_meta * log_op * pending_removal * read_only * retain_head_object * rule_exist * start_with_full_sync * sync_from_all * syncstopped * system * truncated * user_stats_sync >=17.2.1 * The "BlueStore zero block detection" feature (first introduced to Quincy in https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/43337) has been turned off by default with a new global configuration called `bluestore_zero_block_detection`. This feature, intended for large-scale synthetic testing, does not interact well with some RBD and CephFS features. Any side effects experienced in previous Quincy versions would no longer occur, provided that the configuration remains set to false. Relevant tracker: https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/55521
