About MooseFS
A year of pure maintenance while the 4.x line clears the runway for MooseFS 5.
MooseFS has shipped nothing but maintenance releases across the entire visible window. The last release carrying real capability work was 4.58.0, which fixed partial readdir and added directory-in-parts reading for multi-million-file directories; everything after it is correctness, packaging, and hardening. The 4.59.x releases are single-issue fixes reported by the community and by external security researchers.
