2.1.6 — Forbidden Planet

Legacy bug fix release

Legacy support release

This release maintains full compatibility with RethinkDB 2.1.5, while fixing a
critical bug in RethinkDB's clustering system.

We recommend installing this version only if upgrading to RethinkDB 2.2.4 is not
an option, for example if you depend on a driver that still uses the old protocol buffer
client protocol.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug in the clustering system that could lead to data loss, inconsistent
  reads, and server crashes after reconfiguring a table during incomplete connectivity
